I looked at several other SUVs and this was the best buy without a doubt. I love it, it is fun to drive and I am impressed with the fuel economy.

I love my touareg. However at the countryside dealership, the service has been horrible! I could not believe how rude some of the customer service people have been. I wish I had bought the suv at some other place. I have had problems with the fuel gauge, the seat belt cracked piece broke off. So far. However, my friend told me once you buy a German or Japanese vehicle you will never go back to anything else. I got the fully loaded v6 edition. Thanks to edmunds, I got the touareg at cost. The ride is smooth I have the Sirius radio and is the best option ever.

Tire wear

Be prepared to replace the tires on this vehicle approximately every 20,000 miles due to the weight of the vehicle and possibly to its design. Volkswagen however does not bear any responsibility for the unusual tire (camber) wear.

Almost from the start after purchase at 42k miles car jerks at takeoff at times unpredictable at times and can totally stop at times putting you out in traffic. Car now has around 74k miles on it still does what it has always done and you have to drive it knowing it reactions. spoke to VW of America and they approved trying plugs and timing to no avail. Dealer spoke to VW engineering and they had known of problem but had no fix and still do not and will not admit their is a problem. So if there is an accident due to this ongoing problem then they will know it. I stlil have an open ticket thru VW of America and have kept all receipts. Vehicle is still a good vehicle to me and have lost so much money as to depreciation, I am riding it out for now.
