I can't understand why VW just doesn't bring in the Touran. Its a
mini-van, built on the Golf chassis. Two years ago, while I was in
Grenoble, France, I rented one for a month. It was TDI powered w/6
speed manual transmission. We (3 adults plus luggage) made a trip
from Grenoble to Kassel, Germany and back. Our average speed was 100
mph, and mpg was 33 mpg!! Of course these figures were converted from
metric to miles/gallons. I found it a competent car. It was
comfortable, able to drive up to our house in the Alps above Grenoble
in snow, etc.

Here's a link on Touran:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Touran
