Great small SUV!

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.

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.

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.

Very Impressed with this small SUV

We purchased a new 2024 SEL at the end of the year and got a very good deal. Cannot believe all the tech the car has. Love the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and the wireless Apple Carplay. Love the placement of the wireless phone charger too. Also, cannot believe this car also offers heated and ventilated seats in this class of car along with the enormous panoramic sunroof. Feels very premium for this class of car. We purchased the car in Illinois and drove it down to Florida and continued to be impressed with the drive/comfort quality of the car. The car is extremely roomy and has a very solid build quality. We haven't had a VW in our family since our 2000 VW New Beetle and forgot how nice these German cars drive/handle. We compared many other brands when making our car purchase decision and are very happy with our choice.
