This is my 5th VW and by far the worst experience I've had as a VW owner. I leased the Taos in July 2022. Since then it has had two recalls, one of which failed this summer and my engine cut off while driving. It's been in the VW service department 3 times in the last 4 months. Once for the failed recall, once for a fuel gauge issue that wasn't allowing the fuel gauge to register correctly and now because of multiple failures pertaining to the driver side door, including the fact that an "engine running" warning light and beeping signal appears while driving and then the emergency/parking brake deploys anytime I slow down. The fuel gauge still isn't fixed, but my bigger concern is the safety issue of driving when a parking brake is deploying. The only good thing I can say about this vehicle is that it gets good gas mileage. I've never been more ready to turn a car in after a lease. Super disappointing on the part of VW to allow a vehicle with so many issues to remain on the road.

Jerks when taking off, road noise is so bad I can not hear radio when on I-80. Washed it first Tim’s and paint coming off wheels. Very difficult to wash and dry. I have owned 10+ new cars and this Taos is by far the worst vehicle I have ever bought. DO NOT BUY THIS [non-permissible content removed]!!!

I really wanted to like this Taos. Nice size, good looking. That’s where it ends. Volkswagen is not producing the fine German quality at an affordable price anymore, IMHO. I have owned 2 Passats and 2 Jettas in the past. I also test drove a GLI Jetta, sorry, just feels cheap with a lot of road noise! At 29k, MSRP? Whoa! In 2015 bought a Passat SE for 26k. The Taos was stickered at 31k, and no dealer markup, that part was refreshing. I was rather stunned at how wishy washy the suspension felt, taking advantage of every imperfection in the road. Also, an unacceptable amount of road noise even on a smooth freeway. The base radio was a joke, not in a good way, very poor across the board range. The worst part of the test drive was the poor peddle feel. Going over speed bumps your foot will “rock” on the peddle and is very difficult to find the sweet spot under any driving conditions, very hurky jerky, and some of the reason is the poor transmission meshing with the accelerator. So, if you’re looking for looks alone, buy it. Otherwise be careful. I bought a beautiful Camry for 28k, just more refined all around.

I like this car a lot. Great gas mileage, over 30 mpg in mixed driving. The transmission is excellent, no complaints. Turbo lag is noticeable. it takes a half second to rev up, but after that half second it takes off like a jet! Heated steering wheel, auto high beams, good heater in Winter. Great suspension, especially compared to a Jetta. I don't think I will ever sell this car, I love to drive it. This is VW # 7 for me. I'm a VW fan. I think this is the best VW built so far. All wheel drive and 6.5 inch clearance, it does great in the snow. I have driven it 5500 miles so far.
