Here in Puerto Rico then VW company has a very hight rates in everything, but the local distributor (Autos Vega)that is the owner of VW Frinshise (Euroclass) have the new VW SUV at almost $ 68,000 and this makes it unbuyable for Puerto Rico VW Lovers.

NICE CAR! BETTER FIT AN FINISH THAN OUR JAG XKR. BETTER PERFORMANCE, RIDE, ETC THAN THE ML430 WE TRADED. VERY QUIET AND A GREAT RIDE WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION.

A Fun Ride

I've had the vehicle since January '04 and love to drive it. I have the V8 with nav and adjustable suspension. Great acceleration, great styling. Tows my 18 foot Ranger boat with no problem. Drawbacks are gas mileage (I get 13 city tops, and 17 or 18 highway), higher wind noise with sun roof open than I am used to, and a tendency to be abrupt when accelerating.

THINK TWICE

What a beautiful sporty suv that really hauls and is fun to drive. But be very wary, I have this car for almost 2 years and only have a little over 11,000 miles and I have had the suv in the shop more times than any other car I have owned. We have the 19" high performance sport tires, well at 8,000 miles we had to spend over $1,200 on new tires, the wood interior has cracked two times; the rear lights have been replaced twice due to condensation, the air suspension has gone twice leaving me with a $56,000 low rider. All in all I have been very displeased with the mechanical and lack of fuel efficiency. Once our lease is over we will never purchase another VW again. I am tired of loaners.

Poor Performance for 310HP v-8

Very poor performance off the line for a v-8, Seems to spend most of its energy shifting through the gears (six speed). Leave plenty of room before you pulling out in front of on going traffic!!! Or it can get scary. My Toyota V-6 will run circles around it. No way to open the hatch with a manual key. Hatch locks evertime you close it. If I want it locked, I'd like to be the one to do it!! Lose the rear head rest - driver can't see over them. Funky key - should detach the FOB from the key.
