Have you thought about an Hyundai i800. Very similar vehicle weight wise. 8 seats,inc driver and same size boot. Cheaper to buy than a vw and with a five year warranty. Maybe doesn't hold the value like a vw but with lower buying cost and interest charges its all relevant. I sold mine a couple of months ago because I was using that has a family car and also running a 4x4. I compromised and bought a Chevrolet Captiva . 7 seats and 4x4. I had the Hyundai for three years I covered 25,000 miles and it was faultless.

hi. i had a 24 hr demonstrator vw transporter kombi 140bhp earlier this year to try out with my 1800 kgs adria.i am very experienced at towing and found the transporter very unstable.got it up to 60mph on motorway and had to slow down as it went into a serious wobble. was gutted as i am a vw fan. had a look at a hyundia i800,bought it,removed rear seats to fit in a dog cage. its a fantastic tow car.170 bhp,2400 kgs curb weight £225 road tax. no issues with reliability yet

If you are trading your i800 in then try a Hyundai dealer. I got £9,000 part ex for mine . It was five years old on a 10 plate , 55,000 miles and in really good condition. I liked the car but wanted a change . I also didn't like the way the back seat didn't fold so was a bit of a pain at times. I also think that the vw's are overpriced really..good luck.

don't know where you get the 1500kgs max for the auto.it was the higher road tax that put me off the auto.£485. my 5 speed manual has 168 bhp,same engine that is in the older kia sorento if you still looking at the vw go for the 140 as the 180 blows turbos and very costly to replace.
