  VW Sharan: A Long-Term Success Story - GermanCarFans.com
The diesel engine versions are particularly popular: One in two Sharan on Germany’s roads is powered by the 1.9 l turbodiesel with 96 kW/130 h.p., while a further third features the 1.9 l TDI with 85 kW/115 h.p.
Two thirds of all Sharan are “Family” versions, fitted as standard with integrated child seats in the second row, “beta” radio and “Climatronic” automatic air conditioning.
The Sharan has been beguiling its customers with a fresh look since October 2003: Items such as the chromium radiator grille or the new bonnet design, the side mirrors with integrated indicators or the newly designed tail lights.

 VW facelifts Sharan people carrier - 4Car News from Channel 4
Despite today's price-cutting climate, VW has raised the price of the cheapest Sharan by £1000 to £18,645, though it claims that the specification enhancements mean it now offers better value for money than before.
Both cars are produced in the same VW owned plant in Portugal, alongside the Seat Alhambra, which is little changed compared to its brothers.
VW claims the Sharan V6 as the fastest People carrier in Europe, with a top speed of 135 mph.

New technologies and a much clearer visual appeal are at the core of the new generation Volkswagen Sharan said Volkswagen South Africa in anticipation of the luxury multi-purpose vehicle's immanent launch in southern Africa.

 Volkswagen UK > Diesel > Sharan > Papers 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Blink and you would be hard pushed to spot the difference between this, the new VW Sharan, and its predecessor.
Yet look more closely and VW says 65% of body panels have been renewed, there's a larger glass area to the tailgate, new rear lights and bigger, brighter clear glass headlights that can be optionally fitted with xenon bulbs.
But the exterior isn't the biggest clue that this is a VW Sharan and not Ford's half-brother the galaxy.

 Volkswagen Sharan Sport 1.9 TDI PD Tiptronic 7-seater --- MotorBar Road Test   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Sharan offers a choice of engines from 1.8 up to a potent 2.8 V6, but most MPV buyers will be looking for comfort, value-for-money and economy, which is why we've tested the seven-seater Sport TDI PD Tiptronic, which fluently combines all three qualities in a smart-looking shell.
This makes it easy to overlook the fact that the Sharan's overall size is actually comparable to that of a medium sized saloon car (it's slightly shorter than a Passat, and only a smidgen wider), which making it manoeuvrable and easy to place.
In a word, the Sharan drives fluently, the accurate power-steering contributing to the impression that you're driving a well-engineered hatchback.

 Driven Article - 2002 VW Sharan - 07/2002
Putting the Sharan through its paces on the test track at the Palmela, Portugal plant where it is manufactured (along with the almost identical Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra) revealed a vehicle that can seat seven but has road manners more akin to a sedan.
Designed mainly for families, the Sharan can be purchased with clever built-in child seats in the second row (it comes with three rows of seating in a two-three-two configuration).
The Sharan’s exterior styling is a cross between the ovoid Toyota Previa and GM’s old Dustbuster minivans.

 Motoring - Turbodiesel Sharan takes six gears to 188km/h
VW says its engineers have placed a lot of emphasis on safety —passive and active — with anti-lock disc brakes standard and two front crash bags.
VW says the Sharan has plenty room for eight adults and their luggage and that the front seats are "of the sports variety, height-adjustable and with armrests".
The Sharan TDI comes with VW's normal three-year/120 000km warranty — the first year covered by the factory, years two and three by the dealer — and VW's AutoMotion five-year or 60 000km service and maintenance plan in the price.

But if you want the double aircon system that reaches the back pair of seats you are looking at a lot of money.
If you buy another 2nd hand Sharan (or Galaxy or Alhambra), make sure you get a warranty that covers the entire a/c system, as they all had problems with the evaporator under the dash, usually at about 3 years old.
It's also worth mentioning that the reliability of the a/c system as a whole is not too good, hence my decision to elevate it to the no.1 position on my 'crap cars to try and fix a/c on' chart, pushing out the Renault Espace inyo 2nd place.

The Volkswagen Sharan shares its body, interior and running gear with the Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra.
The Sharan's cabin was badly damaged and became structurally unstable in the frontal impact and the driver's survival space — the area around his body — was severely reduced, leaving him liable to suffer chest, right leg and feet injuries.
The 1999-model Sharan has dual frontal airbags, belt pre-tensioners and power assisted steering fitted as standard wherever sold in the EU.
