Description

For more in depth reviews check my channel: www.youtube.com Filmed by: Tomaž Kožar Jesenice Fifteen years on from its launch, VW's first MPV, the Sharan (along with the identical Ford Galaxy produced in co-operation with VW), defined a political class that swept Tony Blair's "new" Labour into office in 1997. They represented the caring, sharing Nineties as opposed to Thatcher's Eighties go-getting Sierra man. They were also the first viable alternatives to Renault's Espace. These days the car market, like the political landscape, is vastly changed. VW produces a fistful of MPVs; Caddy, Touran, Sharan and Multivan. No one willingly drives these statements of fertility and they have become a default purchase until the children are big enough to slot into a curvy crossover. So while the new Sharan is bigger, better, stronger and longer than its predecessor, it isn't a car anyone's going to love much. In fact, in Britain 75 per cent are sold into fleets as crew buses for executives. You're likely to lay your hands on a second-hand example in a couple of years so this is a sort of cut-out-and-keep test. Our advice? Avoid the ones with huge mileages and/or cargoes of chocolate-smeared brats. At almost 16ft long and 6ft 3in wide, the new Sharan is 8.6in longer and 3.6in wider than the original. There's a beaky snout and the rest is all load space. Twin sliding doors access the Sharan's middle kingdom and the far-flung hinterlands are approached via a lifting tailgate. Powered <b>...</b>
