So disappointed I traded it in within a month
Source: Edmunds

...I am a 4-time VW owner (Fox, old Jetta, new Jetta, Touareg), so I was eager for a reasonably priced wagon that gets great fuel economy.
The vehicle was not fully explained to me at the dealership and I never would have bought it if it had been.
The transmission is so incredibly jerky and when the car shifts gears, you actually jerk along with it.
The brakes are so tight that they are shockingly sudden.
I never had this before in my VWs. The seats are so uncomfortable that I feel like I am sitting on rocks, which could have been less expensive.
I have needed to see a...

And they make the gas version because...

...Traded in a 2006 Expedition for this midsize SUV and we aren't looking back.
The Touareg is just the right size for our family of 5 (kids range 3- 9yrs.).
It doesn't have the interior space of the Expedition, but it's not a big lumbering beast either.
This is a fun to drive SUV with plenty of power at a great price point.
Early results on mpg indicates it should more than cover the EPA ratings.
My only hope is that we didn't get one of the unreliable ones. I only rated reliability "5" because we haven't had the car long enough to rate...

German tank safety with GTI performance
Source: Edmunds

...I was an Audi Q7 3.6 FSI owner. Even Audi was very elegant, the mileage was bad, averaging 16 mpg overall.
I always wanted to buy the Touareg in first place, but only the TDI version, for its superior torque, fun to drive and stellar gas mileage.
I bought the vehicle with almost all the possible options, air suspension, xenon, navigation, rear view camera, etc.
The car is very safe and fun to drive, excellent acceleration and passing power for such heavy vehicle...

Super SUV
Source: Edmunds

...I've been an Audi owner for years, but opted for the VW this go 'round because I didn't care for the Q7 exterior and I liked the air suspension option on the Touareg.
It is by far my favorite automobile to date! Even though I got a fully loaded edition, there are a few luxury items noticeably absent (no memory feature on the driver's seat?
!). And it is not without its electronic bugs: the alarm goes off sometimes when locking the vehicle with the key fob or exterior keyless button...it is a VW after all.
But, honestly, it is one fine vehicle and if all goes well beyond these...

Third TDI
Source: Edmunds

...No major breaks or downtime. I am not too diligent on maintenance so these have held up well with basic oil changes at 15,000+ miles. Bought 2010 TDI wagon in July 2009. Great ride as usual. My wife wont give my car back.She left me with Windstar van which we will probably replace with TDI Touareg.Are we lucky not have maintenance problems? probably but very satisfied with VW reliability and mileage over 15 years.Great car to drive on long business trips. We now supply TDI wagons to our salesmen.We make up higher initial cost with better fuel mileage.I get 38 MPG mixed and over 40 hwy...

Amanda's Touareg

...looks like an suv drives like a sports/luxury car:) unlike a honda pilot can a take a curve at 50 mph rather then 10 and still not feel like its going to flip its awesome
!!!Gets lots of attention from corvettes, bmws and mustang..it turns heads:)...

#7
Awesome
Source: Edmunds

...Granted I am a big guy, but SUVs should be able to fit larger people. Anyway, I'm moving to the snow country and needed a vehicle that could get me around. After being disappointed with many test drives, I tried the Touareg. It was awesome head and shoulders above the competition. This car is not a pretender like most of the SUVs made other manufactures. Given the standard features included, I decided to go with the base V8 (especially since I found one with a ski sack). I highly recommend anyone looking for a fully capable SUV to try a Touareg. Have fun and good luck with your search!...

Made Decision Easy.

...Wonderful Car that will do what we want. Couldn't order one with the extra options we wanted as they were only made one way and the options were not avail. in 2010. Still nicely appointed...

2004 Volkswagen Touareg
Source: Edmunds

...I special ordered my Volkswagen Touareg to get all options except navigation.
I have towed 7,500 lbs. from Florida to Michigan no problem!
I also have done some serious off roading in Michigan's state preserves and found out that the Touareg will out Jeep a Jeep.
It even feels good at high speeds. At 80 - 85 mph it returns 16mpg.
Having to perform maintenance every 10,000 miles is salty but well done.
the new tires that I put on it at 30,000 miles improved the ride and handling beyond belief. I am so happy with my total VW experience that we bought 2006 Jetta TDI from...

My nicest VW to date
Source: Edmunds

...Its fuel economy has been around 16+ mpg, as advertised. For a 5,300 pound vehicle, I cannot complain. It has massive power, sticky cornering on all its season tires, a great 6 speed tiptronic transmission, and all of the creature comforts that I have never known in a Volkswagen. The best ownership factor is not seeing one every mile on the road, like the Ford Explorer, BMW X5, etc. Always get the "high five" from other VW drivers. I just easily handled 10+ inches of fresh snowfall on back roads of the Eastern Shore of VA. I was the last vehicle into my community before the roads were deemed...
