Used 2004 Volkswagen Touareg Consumer Reviews
Wunderbar!
So far none of the negative criticisms can be found with this vehicle. It meets all expectations. Purchased it as a pre-owned (or pre-loved as they say) and it has had only one visit back to the dealer for warranty work. The rest of its service has been done by and will be done by, a reputable private mechanic. I have had 6 Jettas, 2 Passats and a GTI. We are VW people and realize no car is infallible. Take care of it and it will return the favor. Most people are too reliant on dealers for service and that is not what dealers are known for despite their claims.
VW Experience
Compared to many others, the appearance caught my eye when shopping for a vehicle. Had planned to buy Toyota, but couldn't deal, and salesman was easy to talk to and arrange a deal when we bought both Touareg and Jetta for cash, no trade. Purchased both and drove home from Saskatoon to BC. Several recalls dealt with at Vernon VW, with staff there just the best! Hard on tires - 4th set at 112000 km! At 114000 both fuel pumps failed - go figure. Vernon VW replaced with goodwill partial warranty. Hope nothing else goes!

Mr Toe Rags
I would have chosen another ML 350 but for dealer attitude, they insist on navigation systems and third row seating! Well I know where I live and I dont plan on having kids. My first 1000 plus miles in Mr. Toe Rags tell me its a very nice vehicle. Gas consumption is OK at 17 mpg overall for 1057 miles but it does dip into the sixteens and fifteens around my short country commute to work. Yes its thirstier than the Mercedes. Quiet and refined it does not get buzzy at speed and it goes fast enough to get expensive tickets. It is a smooth riding, fast performing easy to drive super utility vehicle.
Do not buy!
This was hands down the WORST vehicle I have ever owned. I have driven lots of cars and SUVs, and this one took the cake in bad performance. It's beautiful, especially when you are standing beside it waiting on Roadside Assit because it's DEAD! After 5 alignments in 5 months, being completely dead/towed twice, I had enough. Don't get me started on all the electrical failures, warnings, Service calls, recalls and problems I endured in the 12 LONG months I drove this horrible vehicle. And VWoA is the WORST co. on earth, not caring that they are selling a useless vehicle to unsuspecting people. They do not respond to complaints, and have no intentions of standing behind their horrible vehicle.
Love our Touareg
Love the Touareg before we went to buy it. There are so many features even the salesperson didn't know them all. We have even watched the video twice and are still learning new things. Charlene at Alexandria VW is the best - go see her!
