I think the Edmunds reviewer did a great job describing what the Taos is. I love the handling, space, tech, fuel economy and looks. I have the AWD version and have averaged 29 mpg to date. The transmission is lazy with a bias for fuel economy, but I'm used to the DSG from my Golf GTI, so I know how to take over and get the most out of the engine. I just really love the car and am happy with the purchase. I'm not an SUV person, and this car is great.

I needed an inexpensive AWD SUV to leave at our second home in Park City, Utah. After looking and driving the closest competition (Hyundai Kona, Subaru Impreza) I decided on the VW Taos S based on price and standard features such as Apple CarPlay, Adaptive Cruise Control, non-CVT transmission, heated seats, and back-up camera. I wish it had power seat adjustment and keyless entry (available on SE trim), but I didn't want to spend an additional $2000 for the SE. The VW is a little roomier than the other cars as well plus it has the German car driving feel which I like. The other thing that appealed to me was the VW dealer was not pushy or hard sell - didn't try to add on a bunch of unnecessary stuff. I'm not sure this is true of all VW dealers, but Capitol VW in San Jose was definitely low pressure. I got a good deal on a 2024 just as 2025's are starting to arrive, so I feel great about this purchase.

We bought this Taos on the first business day of 2024. It's a hard change for me from the 2013 Jetta we also have. BUT, my wife likes it. When looking, we tried Equinox, Trax, Malibu. My wife had one new requirement since we now have people to ride in the back seat. That was a vent for the heater/AC that could be controlled by the back seat passengers. The only one that had it was the Taos. The Taos also has something even the Jetta didn't have. The front part of the driver's seat can be lowered manually ever so slightly. This helps with my wife's hips since their is so much metal in her hips and back. She also likes the back up camera because she doesn't have to try to turn to look. NOW FOR THE DISLIKES!! Don't like the screen in the middle of the dashboard! Too old to try to learn this stuff! Where is the CD player? Last dislike-where is the suicide strap above the driver's door?? Sorta neat though-two Volkswagen's in the driveway-both dark blue.

On one hand I love this little SUV. It’s enjoyable to drive. A good size to maneuver and park and it’s very nice looking. Comfortable inside. Nice moonroof. On the other hand my radio/infotainment has had frustrating issues since just a few days after purchasing and dealing with VW has only made it worse. Between pointless overnight stays at the dealership for the Taos and my wife and I having to share our other vehicle unnecessarily to VW Care doing literally nothing to help besides weekly/biweekly calls to tell me there’s no news and the mystery part that took them a month to diagnose to then the mystery part being on an indefinite back order to now having a 5 month old vehicle with a radio that makes odd loud noises and occasionally shuts off and hopefully turns back on (it doesn’t turn back on every time, sometimes we need to turn the car off then back on to reset it) is an infuriating start to owning a VW. VW care basically told me there’s nothing that can be done and it’s up to me to follow up with the dealership (that has already failed to communicate with me multiple times) for my brand new vehicle with the part that I feel like I’ve been lied to about multiple times. Between my own experience and countless bad reviews all over the internet it’s hard to recommend this vehicle. Honestly I would avoid it. It’s beyond aggravating to have problems with a vehicle before you make even make a payment on it. When the issues aren’t happening I enjoy the Taos but I’m left waiting for the next problem to happen. Currently with just over 3000 miles.
