Economical on fuel, right? How about service? How much do you pay to replace
Engine?
Gear box?
Suspensions?
Head lights?
side Mirrors, windscreen?

As compared to its competition?


Boss if you need to replace all that then you are better off not having a car. Weka kwa mawe ulishe kuku ndani. You will be happier.

Once the dash board warning lights start showing,your goose is cooked!How many kms/ltr?


Which lights? Be specific unless you bought a lemon. That car is more fuel efficient than a 1000cc vitz. Only known issue is the DSG gear box failing.which is not unique to the touran but affects all VW and Audi's fitted with DSG gear box.

The actual word is unreliable. Dash warning lights include but not limited to traction control (ESP), Check engine and airbags.

I've read the same reviews on the net, it may not be reliable but in terms of fuel efficiency it wins hands down without compromising performance. Funny thing I do not see as many negative reviews on the golf variant that shares the same platform.

First step is to always check the yellow connectors under the front seats. Comes off very easily and is very annoying.

If they are ok, then you need to VAG your car. In any case, the airbags will still deploy in case of need.
