Stylish small SUV

Drives very well, feels secure on the road, transmission in eco mode is a little tricky to drive smoothly. Interior has the look and feel of an SUV costing thousands more. Not just all black plastic.

Surprised

The Taos has been a pleasant surprise. The fuel economy is better than advertised. I'm getting 39 to 40 mpg consistently. For a small SUV it has plenty of passenger room and a good amount of cargo space. Nice safety features and a well designed interior. I'm glad I came back to Volkswagen.

Great Car

I like just about everything on the car; from the engine response, handling, braking, and gas mileage. What could use some improvement is the road noise. It's a little loud on rough pavement or black top. It could be the tires. I bought the car new and it came with a tire brand I've never heard of. I will try a different brand when the tires need to be replaced.

Lots of upgrades are standard. Purchased the SE. Upgraded seats are very comfortable and heat up well with the seat warmers. Added AWD. Handles well. Heated steering wheel. New review. Poor acceleration, no power, poor gas mileage. Too much empty space. Wouldn't lease again. Tested other SUVs. Came back to the Taos, perfect size, not too long. Seats five comfortably. Back up camera, blind spot mirrors, emergency need to stop all standard features. Good sound system. Excellent customer service by Niello Volkswagen here in Sacramento. 18" Continental wheels. Drives like a more expensive car. Purchased the Pylite Grey with black interior with hints of cobalt blue accent trim on the dash. Love my new car.

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....
