Used 2023 Volkswagen Taos S 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
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.

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.

Great all around vehicle
Got the base model S The good: Drive is fun, very responsive, turbocharged, spacious interior, seats are ok, no glass roof, great gas mileage (32mpg winter, 39mpg summer), and the price. The not so good: Front seat Manual adjustment very limited, the rear seats do not lay totally flat when in down position The tires the taos came with (goodyear) are not great in rain nor snow, they are good on dry pavement The bad: Headlights are incredibly poor at night, they don't project more than 15 feet, need to use bright at night in rural setting, this is specific to the base model, borderline dangerous from personal driving experience. Over all: Better than most cheap small suvs, best compromise between power gas mileage, interior space/comfort, handling, responsiveness, and power (keep in mind it's a 1.5 liter engine), easy to park, great every day city driving vehicle, very good on the freeway as well.

Great value for the price and fuel efficient!
So far I'm very happy with the car. Comfortable even for a 6'5" 300 lbs driver, tons of space, the mpg efficiency is even better than advertised as I get almost 40 mpg on highway and about 34 mpg in the city. It has everything you need in terms of safety features, brakes are great and it stops on a dime, it has great stability, maneuverability, and reacts quickly. Wishing more out of a $24k car seems out of line, but I wish it was a bit quieter (road noise) and the interior could be a bit less plastic. Overall, it surpasses my expectations by a lot.

All Taos are lemon cars !
2023 VW Taos is the worst car i have ever owned ! Rear brakes and Rotors were replaced twice, noise front suspension and the dealer can’t figure out the problem, windows go up if you push it down , strange noise coming from the engine , car stalls when waiting at a red light and the list goes on ! Given how good and reliable German cars are, VW should be ashamed of having unsafe cars on the road . Who ever is looking to buy a VW my advice is stay away from the Taos !!!
