Jetta SUV
As satisfied Jetta owners over the years we weren't all that surprised with our Taos since it's an SUV built around a Jetta engine. We get the same great 40+ mpg on the highway with decent acceleration and handling for its class. We just got back from a 2500 mile road trip grateful for the comfort it provided both driver and passenger! Road view is excellent with minimal blind spots. Even the basic sound system is a cut above what we expected for this price point. Cockpit noise is a little on the louder side, but we just turned up the music. Another plus for our road trip was the ample storage space in this vehicle. Simply amazing! After years of satisfied Jetta ownership, we look forward to the same with the Taos.

Fuel leak
I leased a 2023 Taos sel top of the line and only a month old it had a fuel smell in the cabin. Dealer said they did not smell anything on drop off. we left it their because fuel smell can be a dangerous situation. They called me later today and said it needs a fuel line and it is on intergalactic back order. we got lucky enough to get a loaner car what a drag.

Love My Taos
2023 S Model, seems all issues have been ironed out. Windows still roll down on occasion when you select up but seems to be an overall volkswagen thing. Very sleek good looking SUV. Run it in sport mode, quick and fast acceleration when needed especially for a 4 cylinder. Roomy, Spacious SUV. Very happy with my purchase.

Very disappointing!
As a veteran Volkswagen owner, I was initially enthusiastic about the Taos. I liked the size, the interior, etc. However, besides the "lazy" transmission and the rough and noisy ride, I've had three occurrences in six months where the car slows down and the lights go on. After the first time, service simply reset the codes. The second time a patch was put on the software. After the third time, an additive was put in the gas tank. VW tells me that they can't determine the cause of the problem unless it occurs when they're driving the car. I've decided that the car is not safe and am !'m going to sell it.
1000 miles and already in the service department
I purchased my new 2023 Taos on Christmas eve. Drove it off the lot with 10 miles on it. 1 week later within the first 5 miles of my morning drive the dash lit up like a Christmas tree, it slowed its self down and I had to call a tow truck. VW was refusing to give me a loaner car in the meantime until I made a few phone calls. They said they have to replace the fuel pump.
