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....

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.
