Pros: V8 performance, off-road capability, on-road ride (especially air suspension), handling (among SUVs with low range)
Cons: No third row, V6 performance, fuel economy, handling not as good with air suspension, styling
Summary: Back in World War II VW built a Jeep-like vehicle for the German army, and later sold a similar vehicle as the Thing in the U.S. (As a kid I loved those.) Yet the company took its sweet time getting a modern SUV to the American market, finally ... read more

Pros: Reliability, comfort. Quiet ride. Safety features.
Cons: Blind spots. Weak remotes.
Summary: I purchased my 2004 V6 Touareq back in September of 2003. I was one of the fist people to own this great SUV in my area. It has leather interior and almost all the extra options (no GPS). The looks and the idea of owning a German-engineered vehicle were ... read more

Pros: Solid body construction; good power, well-designed interior
Cons: Unreliable, guzzles gas, 6-9 recalls or service bulletins first year, abysmal service
Summary: Have had this V8 with lots of options for almost 18 months. For the money it has great power and handling, and a decked out interior. Now for the bad part. My first V8 leaked oil into the engine within the first two weeks; the dealer took it back and ... read more

Pros: Quality, quiet, off-road ability, attractive, V8 exhaust note (really), sales department service.
Cons: GPS, a serious defect for those who need a serious off-road/tourer.
Summary: I bought the Touareg because it seemed to be perfect for my business: land investment. It is an impressive off-road machine and a serene--almost silent--road tourer. The build quality is excellent, better than my 1999 Lexus it replaces. All this ... read more

Pros: The standard features including 10 airbags or air curtains that protect front and rear passengers.
Cons: The center rear headrest blocks the view from the rear mirror.
Summary: VW did very well with this vehicle. Co-designed by VW and Porsche, the Touareg is a bit more attractive from the front than the Porsche version, though it lack the Porsche Cayenne's powerful engine. I test drove and or researched a number of ... read more

Pros: stylish interior, great sound system, lots of room for 5 adults, great price tag.
Cons: 6 cylinder
Summary: The new volkswagen touareg is a great car that fits the wallet! I just bought one and im very happy with it. It has to be the nicest interior I have seen in a sports utility compared to the BMW x5, and the Mercedes ml. And on top of that, its cheaper t ... read more

Pros: Powerful V8, sporty handling, flexible suspension, plush and quiet interior.
Cons: Station wagon styling, no in-dash CD player, no DVD navigation, heavier than the USS Nimitz
Summary: This is one of my favorite movie lines of late. I have obviously substituted the name of the vehicle here, however, I think the title is fitting based on the (admittedly short) hour I spent with the vehicle. I recently drove a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg ... read more

Cons: Poor gas mileage, only a single disk CD player in dash
Summary: I looked at the Volvo XC90 when I first decided on an SUV, in fact, I put a deposit down on one. However, after waiting two months, the dealer pushed my expected delivery date back two more months, I decided to reconsider my options. Fortunately for me, ... read more

Summary: After a huge amount of research I turned in my X5 for a 2004 Touareg. Mt initial experience was great. I can deal with the constant error messages (Fault gear running workshop - what does that mean?) and recalls. However, the straw that has broken my
