Owned a 2013 for 7 years and still love it!

My wife bought this car in 2017 after we decided the old Honda minivan needed to be retired. I don’t remember how many miles were on it when we purchased it, but we have driven this vehicle a LOT for long road trips. It’s comfortable, quiet, and generally reliable. And for 2013, the tech is very good. Only gripe is the regular maintenance cost. A battery is only good for so long, and you know you’re going to have a to replace it eventually. But to do so, you have to remove the driver’s seat! $200 for the battery, $600 for labor! Yikes. Still, we’d buy it again if they still made them. The Atlas just feels flimsy compared to the Toureg.

Great SUV desperately needs air suspension

This is my 3rd T-reg and will be my last - I previously had the Lux version but decided to move up to the Executive - this changed the rim size to 20" from the Lux's 19" - just this 1" taller rim harshened the ride considerably to a point that passengers in the back seat went airborne over any large bump - I had test driven a Cayenne diesel with air suspension before purchasing the Executive - it had a pleasing controlled ride on rough streets - a similarly equipped Cayenne diesel bites 6 figures fully loaded so the Executive is a relative bargain - I hope that VW will once again offer air suspension as an option on the T-reg since the large majority are street driven

A bit costly, but well worth the money. Car rides great, is very comfortable and performance and handling are superb. Does not have as much storage space as other vehicles in this class.

Heavy solid SUV. Safety rating highest in class. They’re German. What else can you say. After recall I get 3 mpg more. 31 on the hwy with and with all seats taken. They’re quiet powerful and the diesel will last 200k. Did I mention powerful. Wow.
