I am try to weigh these 3 up and was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with either of these cars.

The answer appears to be - buy all 3! If you are seriously interested in them then make sure you take an extended test drive in all of them - at least an hour on the road, and preferably the same road in each, so you can compare them like-for-like. All are new designs so there are few examples on the road which means it is too early for any problems or snags to show up. FWIW the motoring press generally seem to prefer the Grand Scenic but it comes with no spare wheel, and the Touran is a galant second (but it is SO bland to look at) with the Corolla coming in last principally because the seats take up so much depth in the "boot" when folded away. You pays your money and takes your choice.

I can think of better ways to spend £60k on motoring!
I spent ages wondering which was best, admittedly before the Verso came out.
One of my main reasons for buying a new car was to get a good sat nav with a colour screen. The VW has a system derived from the Blaupunkt Pilot DX with a 6.5" screen. It is excellent and has impressed all my passengers. By contrast the Grand Scenic is only available with a turn-by-turn Philips Carinmat system which is annoying. I chose the Touran and, 3000 miles on, am very pleased with my choice.
I guess the answer is to find what is most important for you and choose the car that does it best
e.g.
absolute reliability - probably the Toyota
very large sunroof - Grand Scenic
powerful diesel engine - VW Touran
Hope this helps
