have been looking at these for a while,i see there are 3 diesels 1.6 110 hp,1.8 115 hp,and a 2.0 130 hp.  does anyone have a 1.6?are they reliable?i will only be pulling about 1000kg,so thought the 1.6 would suffice.Or would getting the bigger engines be a better option.I have heard a lot about the 2 litre engine being a bad one,blowing turbos etc.

is the 1.8 worth looking at as it only has 5hp more than 1.6?

which one would you go for?  they all seem to be good on fuel

is there plenty of room in them,rear leg,boot?

I would be looking at between 02-06 reg

any other to consider,touran looks nice,but costs lot more

Touran may be dearer but which will be worth more after a couple more years?  IMO the Volkswagen.   My son has a C-Max 2.0 petrol auto which is comfortable and roomy but I personally think the plastics inside are very cheap looking and they don't feel very substantial compared to his previous car which was a Golf.  He swapped because they now have a baby and all that comes with her.

For me I'd go for the 2.0l.
