I have owned my Volkswagen Sharon for 4 years now. I have found the Sharan very very economical. The central locking can some times be a bit puzzelling, if you lock the car and leave it, when you come back and turn the key the car locks again. Leaving you wondering if the car was locked at all. I've had a lot of mechnical problems with the car. The two track rod ends have been replaced, the bottom engine mount broke one day, one of the cables came of the gear change not allowing the car to move the gear change from left to right. The car had to be driven home using 3rd and 4th gear only. The most annoying problem is that the Sharan takes at least 4 miles of driven before it starts to warm slightly, leaving it a very cold car for the school run.
On the positive side the Sharan is the most economical car that i have ever owned. We drove from Northern Ireland to Holland and Back for 66 euro approx 1200 miles. Filling the Sharan in the South of Ireland before we left and filling and again in Holland. THIS MEANS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR FUEL IN THE UNITIED KIINGDOM. Strand that fuel is almost half the price in countries that dont produce it?.
