When I left the dealership with my new ride back in 2012, I was afraid I made epic mistake. 7 years later and I wish I had bought two of them. I’ve put 100k miles on this beast and had ZERO maintenance issues. The diesel still pulls like a tractor and the suspension still handles like a go kart. I’m so sad VW chose to stop selling Touaregs in the US.

Six weeks ago I purchased a new black 2012 Touareg. I named the vehicle "Hilda" and I must say this girl is well built, fun to drive, has a great motor and impresses all who ride with her. Originally I planned to purchase a gas Tourareg, but after taking the diesel out for a drive I was hooked. I fell in love with Hilda and how smoothly and quickly she travels down the highway and navigates city streets. Hilda embraced my 6'-6" frame as no other SUV I have ever driven. Hilda is a pricey vehicle, but fine cars like fine women don't come cheap. In the case of Hilda she has performed exceptionally well. I have noticed many a man look at Hilda with lust in their eyes. WHAT A GREAT CAR!!!

Maintenance, repairs and spares for this car are a killer. You can't do maintenance yourself because parts are either unobtainable or rediculously over priced. Add to that that VW never met a needlessly complicated solution to a non-existent problem that they didn't like. Long story short, I'm gonna buy a Honda or Toyota next and be done with this piece of garbage. Diesel engine randomly had a catastrophic failure in spite of meticulous maintenance and well below average mileage.

The beast of southern Utah

This is a fantastic machine. I think VW pulled out all the stops to enter the SUV market (including the emissions scandal!). Still looks and drives great at 95,000 miles. I had a freak repair, though. A water cooling system valve malfunctioned on the PA Turnpike and the engine temp rose above 200. I limped in to a dealer by driving no faster than 55, which held the engine to 200. The dealer had never seen this problem before and I think they told me the entire VW system showed just one other instance. Anyway, nothing major since! I drove it all over my favorite southern Utah parks, on- and off-road, and felt secure and comfortable the entire time. Great passing power on the highway, too, when the turbo kices in.
