Hello people, since we already have 2 children (5 and 6 years old) and a third plan, a bigger vehicle has to come. Even if we should still decide against a third child, one of the above big vans would be practical, because we like to drive by car on holiday and then have a lot of junk with us. Now it is unfortunately that I have certain ideas (all of course not chiseled in stone) and none of the vehicles can fulfill all my wishes – so I compromise I drive about 15-20 tkm, the tgl working distance is 7 km per way. Due to the many short distances, a petrol engine would be more useful – but this is not possible in combination with all-wheel drive, which I would like to have, since I have it at the moment and do not want to miss it anymore. So it has to become a diesel with 4×4. I would also like to have automatic, 4×4 + automatic, but only with the Ford, the Alhambra/Sharan is only available as 4×4 with manual transmission. On the other hand, I would have had to go in. but likes sliding doors – which in turn the Galaxy does not have. Does someone know both vehicles and can share experiences, also about size and practicality in everyday life? Can one accommodate with both 3 child seats (2 times size II/III and 1 times maxicosi) in the second row of seats? I tested the Sharan as 2.0 TDI (150 HP hand switch) already. Was so far quite neat. I looked at the Galaxy so far only at the dealer – test drive follows next week. e Alternative with the characteristics 4×4, automatic, space for 3 children + luggage, in the price range +/- 40 TEUR (new or annual car)?
