I'm buying a Touran after Christmas for my missus.
She currently has a 2004 Audi A4 Avant 1.9TDI 130bhp which has been a really good car,
I've been mainly looking at the 2.0TDI sport Touran, however I've found a high spec 1.4TSI 140bhp DSG Touran locally and it has made me think!!

Has anybody any experience of both and any advice?
The car is used for all family transportation, the car does approximately 250 miles per week,
I've alway's had petrol car's in the past, but the A4 has been great with it's high mpg TDI engine

Help me please!!

Thanks for all the replies people!

Well today I made the decision, put a deposit on a 2007 touran 1.4 Tsi,
I had planned to get either an 08/09 car, but when this one came up, it's surely a very rare spec so I jumped at it!
To name a few it is a sport model, has chrome roof rails etc,
Leather interior, DSG gearbox, xenon auto headlights, dual climate, heated seats, cruise control, rear pdc, sunroof, auto dim mirror, highline display, folding mirrors, plus lots more I'm sure!

Drives perfect and is in really good condition with only 79k mms (approx 50k miles)

Looking forward to getting it now,
Will put up some pics once we have it.....

Thanks.

The TSI was a very popular car here in Ireland, as pre 2008, all road tax was CC based, so smaller engined car's were most popular, however, now from 2008, all cars are C02 based, so diesel is preferred post '08!

The car was bought by a lady with more money than sense apparently, thanks to her, I now have a lovely spec Touran..... hehe
