Used 2014 Volkswagen Touareg Consumer Reviews
Solid as a Rock
I drove a pickup truck for 25 years before getting tired of the bulk and getting a new 2014 Volvo S60 T6 that I had for six years and wanted something new. I looked at all types of cars and kept coming back to the Touareg. I looked for a month - test drove a number of TDI's but I wanted something with less miles - the TDI's were coming with VW warranties because of the diesel-gate issue but I couldn't find any with less than 60-70,000 miles on up. I found a 2014 VR6 R-Line in mint condition with 42,000 miles and I love it. The R-Line was only in the states for the 2014 model year - in both VR6 and TDI versions. People rave about the TDI's but I'm not a mechanic and right or wrong I just felt more comfortable buying the VR6. It has plenty of power. The only downside is it takes premium and with a 26 gallon tank - the extra half buck a gallon adds up. I love everything about it - performance - the quality of everything in the interior - huge panoramic sunroof, great stereo system and nav - everything just seems a step up and rock solid - handles great for an SUV and I think it's a really sharp vehicle. I don't envy anyone regardless of what they're driving when I'm in it. Try one - you'll love it.

Best value around
Super refined and luxurious. Best value vs other luxury german suv brands. It hits the sweet spot of value for money and ability to make you feel special everytime you walk up to it. I also like that nobody really knows how nice it is because it is understated with the VW badge.

German Tank
I have about 2500 miles on my TDI. The mpg rating is pretty accurate on this suv. I live in L.A. and i was able to drive round trip to Vegas and still had over a 1/4 tank of gas left! And no i was not driving like a granny to save gas, this was under normal-to-semi-aggresive driving. The car has a VERY quiet interior. This car feels very planted and solid thank to the all wheel drive. You cannot tell this car is a diesel as it is very quiet although when you punch the gas the diesel makes an awesome aggresive note. The power steering is a little stiff but has an impressive turning radius. The steering wheel does have the typical vibration known to VW's.
Could Not Love It More
I’ve owned a decent number of cars in my 30+ years of driving. Honda (x3), Mazda (x2), Volvo (x2), Chevy (x2), Nissan, VW (x2), and even a Triumph. My Touareg is my overall favorite. The combination of performance, power, efficiency, comfort, and luxury is simply perfect for me. The TDI is peppy, powerful, and smooth. It’s fun to drive. (Maybe not quite as much as my Mazda RX-8 was, but it gets far better mileage and is far more reliable). It’s exceedingly comfortable. The interior materials are nice and have a great feel. The features and controls are well placed and actually functional. But I also like that it’s not ostentatious and looks pretty staid on the outside. A definite wolf in sheep’s clothing, with the only hint of the wolf being the matte black 20” wheels. I will keep my Treg on the road as long as humanly possible (and hopefully find another when that time comes). My only regret is that I didn’t find the Treg sooner.
