I ended up purchasing a fully loaded SEL 4Motion Taos and really like it. The sunroof/moonroof is a big hit amongst the backseat passengers and the Beats speakers provide a good sound! The backseat is quite spacious and felt larger than the Tiguan. The turbo engine provides some pep, but can also be a bit jerky. Once you know this about the car, you’ll get used to driving it with less/more acceleration, accordingly. I wish the car had front parking sensors and a better backup camera. The Taos lacks these safety features, which is something I didn’t think to ask about (dumb on my part). It’s also missing an automatic liftgate, which isn’t a dealbreaker but definitely something to consider if you’ve got your hands full with groceries and kids. All in all, the Taos is a great car!

Had this vehicle just over 2 months and it has been flawless. fit and finish is great, and comfort is superb and i am 6'"3. this is one of the smoothest running vehicles i have ever owned and I have had many. if you are someone who does your own maintenance you will love this vehicle, it is very easy DIY. highly recommend this vehicle.

New rear breaks after 12,000 miles

Required rear breaks @ $795 with only 12k in miles on the car. This following numerous engine and fuel pump alerts over the past year. Total garbage. The dealer said they use small brake pads in the rear that wear out quickly and better Tiguan brakes in the front. WHY? So I can pay $795 for service/parts fees?? What a scam.
0% apr loan and still bad...

I should have known why VW was giving out 0% APR loans on this model. It is a horrible car! And when I got to the dealer there must have been over 100 of these on the lot! They can't get rid of them. But I bought one anyway after watching about 20 positive YouTube review videos (all must have been paid reviewer's). I got the SEL 4 motion because I would eventually need the all wheel drive for local weather conditions. The problems started after leaving the dealership. 1. Lane assist error, then stopped working altogether. 2. Cruise control stopped working 3. Center console touch screen froze up. 4. Android auto froze up 5. Speakers stopped working 5. Clutch and/or transmission "jerks" you when in first gear going to second 6. Headlights went out 7. Dash monitor flickering All intermittent except for Lane assist and forward monitoring. Those are still gone. So I guarantee when I take it to the dealer, they are going to tell me they didn't find anything wrong. As you can tell, all are electronic related. So something must be wrong with the wiring or computer. I would think there should be log files. But I don't trust VW actually telling me the truth after going through the all day haggling with the lying sales people. I traded in my beloved Audi for this price of sh&t thinking it was the same manufacturer. But, the Taos is built in Mexico!!! I am screwed now because in my state, there are no exchanges. Period. One of these days the transmission or something serious is going to go wrong with this thing while on a freeway and I will be in an accident. But VW doesn't care....

Boomer return to VW with a Taos S

About 8 weeks and 1.5K miles on my new 24' Taos S, my first turbo so takes some getting use to (Commander 4x4 w/5.7L V8 went to a friend). and I knew the FWD would be like some 80s and 90s cars I had. I was looking for brand new and the Taos has easy entry/exit and nice seat height. It's a bit more wind noise but not so bad. It has a nice solid feel. Great driving position, great cargo. Overall much more good than bad. Just did a Raleigh-DC-and-back in one day. just about 3.75 hours each way, plus 30 minutes to load up 5 dining room chairs and 6 paintings. 39.5 mpg avg for the day on regular grade gasoline. I was able to get within $50 of Edmunds price (blue) And so far the AC has kept up fine. BTW, I owned 2 other VWs; a 1958 Beetle and a 1970 pop-up camper. I have fond memories of both. UPDATE: After ten months and 6500 mixed miles I love this car even more. I keep it in sport mode almost exclusively. Not quite fun, but never disappoints.
