Its time to change our car, hence its shopping time.
Went for a test drive today with wife today and we both had a go at Volkswagen’s Touran Sport 1.4 TSI. It was a surprisingly nice experience.
The interior is super spacious and the built quality looks really really good. German Engineering. :)
The main reason this car is on the top of my list is because of 3 things.
- TSI Engine (apparently its an award winning twin charged engine that is super efficient even being 1.4 only)
- DSG gearbox (its super smooth to change from one gear to another, can’t even feel it)
- Versatile (its spaciousness make the car really functional, especially when i’ve got 2 kids)
I’m hoping to get it before Christmas. Lets see what happens.
Hey Nick, I am eyeing on this car as well since my 3rd kid is coming soon. What’s the price they quoted you? I read somewhere that is is around 90+K. A little expensive for a 1.4L car.
Take a look Diahatsu Terios 7 Seater and Honda Freed as well, both are less than 1.6L. Price is around 70K
Also, Straitimes is giving away this car for free to celebration their 130+yrs anniversary. Check out Straitstime.

Also, do you realised that all of you will have to wear a helmet if you were to get this car? :) – YC
Yah i think have to wear helmet, the torque is just amazing.
Hi Nick,
just ordered one a few days ago- fearful that coe will continue to rise. My wife and I looked at it for exactly the same reasons as yours!
