Bob Flavin the first compartment that you opened is for the warning triangle which is mandatory to carry if you drive in Europe so most European manufacturers make a compartment for it. Thanks for sharing such a great review.
Love how you actually sit like a normal person in the back of the car! Car buyer for example gets the guy to sit uncomfortably straight which just is pointless when saying how much head room it has
I'll do my best to get one this year, I had it last year but no video. There is an old video of the S-Max on the channel. I'll find a Galaxy for you this year
I don't think there's one available for video although I did test it last year. It's just like the Golf only bigger in every direction, it's the one I'd buy because I have two small kids and there's a proper seat in the middle. Try the 1.6 bluemotion version for some superb fuel economy.
Bob Flavin’s old videos have views in the hundreds of thousands each, however now it’s down to less than 10K each…for someone who’s as good as him and as ‘senior’ as him, how does this happen?
i noticed how you seam to get a lot of vw/audi/skoda cars will you be doing a review of the golf beetle and scirocco love the videos by the way a pleasure to watch
Bob, a friend of mine has the older version, and it's by far away the most brilliant car I've ever been in, we did a trip with 6 guys, 2 of us in each row of seats, and not even the big guy in the back complaint about the space. Could you compare it to the S-Max? Better or much much better?
Good review, Bob. I was curious to know if VW did any specific customization on the Sharan to make it better to Seat Alhambra. Also whether Sharan will go through 6'6" width restricted roads(a few in our area in London, not sure about IRL).
@loster88 The Sharan is a very capable car, I've had 7 adults in it without much issue. The S-Max is a little narrower but still very good, it's also much cooler looking than the Sharan but the Sharan is much quieter in the cabin. It would be a tough choice between the two but for the money you'll get a better spec in the S-Max and be able to carry more stuff in the Sharan, it's just a question of taste but I'd take the new Sharan because there'll be a new S-Max out in the next couple of years
@loster88 Not quite, I have a Mazda 5 video coming up this weekend and the new Audi A6 3,0tdi Quattro to be filmed this week, the Audi is set to be a giant killer watch out BMW fans!
Oh there's always one. The Transporter/Multivan/Caravelle are vans and if you need a van to carry people around you are: A. a taxi man B. A bus driver C. Your family is too big Thanks for the comment though, I have my stuff *right.
The Sharan is way bigger on the inside and boot but the Mazda 5 is much better to drive and use. Clever seats that work. Big factor though, you'll fit 3 car seats in the middle seat of the Sharan you won't in the Mazda 5.
"in der Tat" is perfectly alright. No need to excuse. Though I would have chosen a bit different phrase like "Ja, es ist tatsächlich super." But please don't consider this a lesson in German rather than me telling you that you got it right in the first place. ;-)
If at all possible, you might consider getting a vehicle with a bright interior trim - your demonstration of the boot area was somewhat futile since we couldn't see what you were doing. It sounded as if you were reporting from the bottom of a coal mine :) Other than that, the review was fine.
great review!!...............All you need now is a light in the back so people can see what the fuck your actually doing for 10.5 minutes of your video! ffs! lol

Best review on the sharan. We bought it because of u and still happy with it. Many thanks!!!!
I will drive my first Sharan in a few days.
Love the review.
Respect Bob

👋
Thanks
Watched this video even though it is 11 years old! But helped me put the rear seats back
Much appreciated ❤
You have to love this guy's reviews. Well done, Bob, I'm subscribing!
I lost one sharan two years ago in Bitcoin. A year ago I bought another Sharan. Lovely car for minicab. I service it myself. Save tonnes.
I thought you would be bit more professional with your comeback. Nevermind. Oh well done you for spotting misspell
Love how you actually sit like a normal person in the back of the car! Car buyer for example gets the guy to sit uncomfortably straight which just is pointless when saying how much head room it has
how come you love every car you review
You obviously don’t watch all the reviews then.
Hi Bob, i have only watched 6 i will keep watching.
Good man, you'll find the ones that are sketchy :D
Agreed. This thing feels like it will fall over when you go round a roundabout..
I'll do my best to get one this year, I had it last year but no video. There is an old video of the S-Max on the channel. I'll find a Galaxy for you this year

@Smokerspack Thanks for the answer :)
What about new stuff? Anything ready to be uploaded?
Buy cheap sensors and fit it yourself. I did mine this week while in quarantine. Easy. Even S model are decent.
Nice review. .....the best on youtube I think...
Yes, the Beetle will be tested when it comes on the fleet. The Scirocco isn't new so there's no test cars but if that changes I'll test one
Anyone know what height it is from the roof to the floor with the seats folded down in the back?

Duly noted and thanks!
nice review, mate
man your review style is soo funny! i love your ascent! "you can fit a person in the back" hahahahahahaha!
All cars get the test, I have 2 small kids and they test the cars too. I like to think I test it like how you'll use it
@loster88 Not quite, I have a Mazda 5 video coming up this weekend and the new Audi A6 3,0tdi Quattro to be filmed this week, the Audi is set to be a giant killer watch out BMW fans!
Thanks very much!
Ja, super in der Tat! Danke
Bob is great, like a mixture of Mat Watson and Alan Partridge.
Oh there's always one. The Transporter/Multivan/Caravelle are vans and if you need a van to carry people around you are:
A. a taxi man
B. A bus driver
C. Your family is too big
Thanks for the comment though, I have my stuff *right.
So how would you compare it with the Mazda5?
@jaffacake1578 The S-Max is the best looking MPV. It has a lower roofline than the others. The drive is very similar to the Galaxy.
In fairness, this video is over a year old and the strange lighting never happened again in over 120 videos.
plz can you review the ford Galaxy.
The Sharan is way bigger on the inside and boot but the Mazda 5 is much better to drive and use. Clever seats that work. Big factor though, you'll fit 3 car seats in the middle seat of the Sharan you won't in the Mazda 5.
The only seven seater that you can enjoy driving is the Ford S-max in my opinion
@Smokerspack I will be expecting the Audi a6 review with big anxious :)
Das ist ein super auto
Oh for crying out loud, it was a mini-van!
on the uk car are them rear doors electric bob?
alun davies I think electric doors are options on both UK and Irish models. I'd have them on the family car if I could afford it.
@Smokerspack ah now, i really do think you should buy it for me, in all fairness
"in der Tat" is perfectly alright. No need to excuse.

But please don't consider this a lesson in German rather than me telling you that you got it right in the first place. ;-)
@collo63 Well done Collo, you are truly the first view and first comment. You should buy yourself a nice prize! Cheers dude
Super car indeed (my bad German sorry)
Video clip is very dark. We cant see much.
nice
you alright martus, you seem to be very upset about something
Tat?
wahay, 1st view and comment, fair play bob keep them comin ya gobsheen ;)
@ 4:50 next time ask the camera man to come close. We need to see what you are opening and closing
I wish there was a camera man! Old video now though
Thanks for sharing and did yours have a place for spare wheel or the spare

Other than that, the review was fine.
Capital adverts are so annoying
it's not the biggest vw!!! the biggest vw is caravelle!!!
Its not the bigest passenger car VW has to offer. What about Transporter/Multivan/Caravelle ?? Get your stuff rigth
Sharan=Touran??
Nope, they're different. Have a look on the VW website. It's a great website!
great review!!...............All you need now is a light in the back so people can see what the fuck your actually doing for 10.5 minutes of your video! ffs! lol
Ford s- max looks better , is cooler is better and bigger , sharan is a shit car with turbo problems
