5008 or Touran

Luxembourgo · 13-05-2026 08:16PM #1

So our C4 Grand Picasso has gone to car heaven.

Family of five with three youngish kids, and have narrowed down to a Touran (60000km) or 5008 (90000km), both 21, both 30kish, both 2.0 Diesels.

We have a few long motorway runs to Clare, to matches etc (based in Dublin), but mostly standard suburban driving.

Have done research but pretty clueless on cars, any opinions from people more educated then me on this stuff?

Thanks

I prefer the Touran German cars and all that. Known decent engine. ( Is it an import with that low mileage?) It's an old design though.

The 5008 it's bigger and more modern. I don't like the small steering wheel, know nothing about the reliability.

Yeah it's a Japanese Import I am pretty sure.

No idea if that is good or bad

Doesn't make much of a difference on a 5 year old car. The more time it spends in Japan the better, IMO

haha that Touran in Mount Merrion is sold already. Unless it was OP.

On a side note, Japanese automotive culture is another level. Irish family wagon of that age will be bastardised, interior in pukes, dogs hair, plastics scratched up and paintwork dull and swirled. Lovely car no surprise it’s sold.
