loudlashadjuster's  Volkswagen  Touran  TDI140 SE  (2009)

Bought for £16,500 in June 2009 at 8 miles. Sold for £10,000 at 36,917 miles.

A good car, I just didn't ever love it.

Engine was a bit of a corker after it loosened up, economy increased to 45+mpg on a run and it pulls decently all the way round to 4.5k now.

Invariably filled with small people, crisps, Costco hauls, Smarties, house renovation shite etc., very flexible.

Hard plastic interior bits would shame a 1980s Hyundai though.

Got a decent £6k off list new, only lost £6.5k in three years of almost trouble-free motoring when it was traded-in.

Occasional fuel/ECU hiccups on light throttle and a knackered NSF door lock (fixed under warranty) only things that went wrong.

Decent appliance.
