I recently traded in my 2017 Honda HR-V in "Base" Trim with 67K miles on a new Taos. Getting $15.800 for my trade with "No'Dealer fees and another $1,000 discount, not bad for a 6 year old Vehicle that I originally paid $20.500 for? Getting back to the Taos. I completely disagree with the so called "experts" claim the so called sweet spot is the SE Trim, wrong. An upgraded Radio, heated exterior mirror, and fake vinyl/cloth interior and the same base digital cockpit? The S Model at $24,000 plus an extra $1000 for the IQ and Convenience Package is the best value. I've only had the Vehicle 2 weeks but so far, I love it. Not even broken in yet and getting an average of 33 mpg city/hwy with the FWD. Plenty of room, jack & spare tire, and reasonable pick up too. Was between Dust Blue and Black, Black won. No tinted privacy glass with Base S but 3M Color Stable Film installed for $150. UPDATE: One year and 16K driven and so far, the absolute best Small SUV I've ever owned. My first VW Vehicle and I am very impressed. Under 25K and little fault to find. Yeah, the pathetic Bicycle Horn has to go, (maybe in `23?) The Rear Hatch needs a Power closure button, not much else. I was so impressed by this Taos in "S" Trim in Black. At 25K with added Safety IQ package, a real bargain. I just took deliver of its first cousin a `22 Audi Q3 that I special ordered in Feb and it arrived from Hungry last week. Very similar Vehicles but almost twice the price with a lot of upscale luxury trim.

Love the vehicle for its confortability and gas mileage! The transmission is a tad jumpy at first, but im bow 700 miles and she's driving smooth (car needed time to learn how I drive). When it comes to power, it really has all the power that you need. Youre not going to be drag racing so take it easy on the peddle and she shifts really smooth. It comparison to the Tiguan, It is a tad smaller and you miss out on the 2 extra seats in the back, but the MPG is what got me and so far in the city I average about 28-31 CTY and im about 34-37 HWY so it's really not bad. The blinker sound inside is a bit aggressive but it's almost humorous and the sound quality is amazing if you adjust the center of the volume just one level back, it really brings the overall sound together nicely. Give what we got the Taos for, I'd give it a 9/10. Like any new car, your experience will differ from others, but definitely give one a test drive if you're in the market for a crossover!

I am basically happy with my purchase. The one thing that REALLY bothers me is how slow the car accelerates after slowing down/stopping. I’ve had people blow their horn because they think I’m driving to slow. It’s seriously frustrating and I don’t know why the TAOS does this! I’d probably not have purchased had I been aware of this prior to purchase.
Don’t buy the Volkswagen Taos!

I currently unfortunately own a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. I bought it brand new in March 2022. At first it seemed like a decent little SUV.. that went downhill very fast. The car has been to the dealership numerous times. I had a window that wouldn’t go up or down. I had a check engine light come on. Just things you wouldn’t expect with a brand new vehicle. When driving it, I feel like I’m in a boat. The car sways all over the road. The rear end feels extremely loose!! If there is any minor wind, the car is extremely hard to maintain lanes. The transmission is horrible. It either takes off very fast or is very sluggish and hardly moves. You never know what you’ll get. I’ve owned many vehicles and I’ve drove many vehicles. From cars, trucks to all the vehicles the military offers. I feel very unsafe when I drive this car. If I could trade this in tomorrow and not get completely screwed I would in a heartbeat. The only plus I have for this is the interior is decent and very spacious. That’s about all it has going for it.

Trash car

I had this car (2022 Taos) approximately 6 months, I loved this car until I like many other owners got the recall notice . I took the car to the dealership to get it looked at. Shortly after I left the check engine light came on, I returned the car and they gave me a loaner. 2 days later they called me told me my car is safe to drive with the engine light on and needs a couple parts on back order. Part one a leak detection pump , part two pressure regulator valve. So now I am told to bring the loaner car back and drive my car while waiting for parts with the check engine light on. This is ridiculous a brand new car that was perfect and I loved turned into a unsafe trash car. Makes me sick to think I will be driving a new car I paid so much for only to have a check engine light on and waiting for parts for who knows how long.
