Solidly built and fun to drive ith excellent handling. I've not taken it off rode- yet. Fuel consumption is as advertised- a true gas hog. Front seats are on a bit of a platform limiting putting your left foot back which is my only complain about comfort. Gauges are too small and hard to scan while driving. Gadgets are plentiful- reading the manual is a must.

Lots of power, great road cruiser, nice looking, great interior details, and very stable in bad weather. The seats are uncomfortable, the electronic keys do not always activate the locks, the gas pedal is very sensitive (seems jumpy in first gear, windshield washer fluid leaks from holding tank, and it took three months to get the rear floor mat.

Junk!!!

I wish I could rate this thing lower than a 1 on reliability. Tire PSI warning system, updates etc... It drinks gas and it is ALWAYS in the shop. I did'nt even make it home the 1st day before I had to take it back for the Tire Warning System, and it has not gotten any better. Should you be on a first name basis with ALL of the service writers BEFORE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE!! Shame on you VW, shame on you for selling me this junk car and not even making a concerned effort to fix the monster you created! This will be my last VW ever.

The best and the worst

It's the best vehicle I have ever owned if all works well, but 23 days of service in the first six months of ownership annihilates the pleasure. A seemingly endless series of quality problems is met with mediocre service and VW's inability to timely get replacement parts.

Shame on You VW

We have had many problems with our Touareg. We did not even make it home from the dealer before we had to turn around to have things fixed! The tire PSI computer is junk and it is the source of many dealership visits, the drivers seat had to be rewired, the rear seatbelt recall is a joke, it requires the dealer to install silver metal plates on the rear belts that are visible, that rattle around when driving and scratch the plastic interior. This is not something that I expect to have on a $50,000+ VW! The tires need to be replaced at 28,000 miles on a truck that my wife drives to and from work? I would never recommend this car to anybody and would strongly recommend that they look at a different vehicle. Shame on you VW
