I've owned BMW, Audi, Toyota, and Alfa Romeo SUV's in the past, but this Touareg TDI has to be one of my favorite all-time vehicles. It is a tank!! So heavy and solid feeling on the road and the engine is just heaven with tons of torque and a smooth acceleration. The interior is very nice and everything is where it should be including knobs, controls, etc. I picked up one recently with less than 20k miles on it in perfect condition. Still under bumper to bumper warranty and the 10 year 120 k powertrain/emission warranty can't be beat. I foresee me keeping this beast for many years. .

If you have aftermarket wheels from your older Touareg, the TPMS probably won't work. As a result of the diesel fix, the car surges when trying to run at 25 mph. Dealer pleads ignorance. Radio scan quit working on AM; would only scan 3 stations. Dealer couldn't figure it out and had radio replaced under warranty. Same thing happened 6 months later but tech at another dealer pushed a few buttons and got it working again.

So let me say this is the third Touareg I have owned. I traded my 2002 for a 2011. Totaled the 2011 and decided to buy a 2015 but there wasn't one available in the color I wanted. So I got a 2016 TDI one month before "Dieselgate" kicked off. When I pulled off the lot I was in sport mode and I was thrilled.I'm at 4500 miles and it is has been great not seeing many other cars like my own on the road. I do get harasses by friends and my wife who thinks my employer will move me to California where I'll be forced to sell. This Executive edition VW TDI is one of the few that got off the boat prior to being pulled off the market in the US. That's to bad for those who may have wanted a great diesel at not such a bad price.

My 3rd TDI LUX Touareg. The first two were leased and the 3rd purchased. Vehicle is ahead of its time. What SUV drives like a sports car, capacity of an SUV, tows like a monster truck (7700 lbs) and gets 30 MPG. Nothing like it! I have 60K miles on it now and drives like its new.

29 mpg 700 range refill in 5 minutes no wait for a fossil fuel diesel generator to recharge so 1400 range beats a EV and fun to drive 400 brake horsepower
