I absolutely love my Touareg. Not only are the front seats immensely comfortable (especially with the cooling feature in the summer, and the rapid heating in the winter), the car eats city and highway miles with ease. The backseat isn't bad either, the panoramic sunroof extends beyond the back seat, making the cabin feel light and airy regardless of the weather outside. The powertrain has, thus far, been reliable and plenty powerful. My only issue is that when I purchased my car, the auto cruise control feature was "unavailable." The dealer I took it to in North Carolina was unable to remedy the issue, and they proposed throwing several thousand dollars at the fix with a kind of "let's hope this works attitude" - needless to say, I declined (the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty is expired). All things considered though, the car has been a joy. Year 2 Ownership Update: Since writing my initial review, a second VW dealer in Wisconsin was reticent to even take on the repair so decided to go the independent shop route. I was able to find an independent ADAS (adaptive driver assist systems) certified shop that was able to recalibrate my Adaptive Cruise Control for a fraction of the dealer-quoted price. Outside of the initial trouble getting the ACC to work, the car has been incredibly reliable. All I've done is oil changes, and filter replacements, otherwise, the car hasn't needed anything out of the ordinary at just over 50,000 miles. I highly recommend a Touareg.

Loved this car! My only two hangups were it does not have a USB port and the logistical placement of cupholder. I am short, and found myself hitting my cup that was in the driver's side holder daily. The braking was amazing and it was a super comfortable ride. It is not great on gas, but I knew that going in. I did not have my car long enough to make some other reviews, as somwone liked my car enough to steal it before I even made my second payment

Amazing Diesel SUV

2016 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Lux 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

This SUV is simply the most-underrated luxury SUV ever made. Powerful engine, smooth ride, will pull down your house, and comfortable luxurious interior. What I love most about it is that you never see any others on the road unlike BMW, Mercedes, and Audi which are at ever traffic light in Atlanta.

Don't listen to the wacky news media. Volkswagen diesel luxury Touaregs are fabulous! Quiet, powerful and clean. Don't take my word for it, drive one today. You should all appreciate why your children ride a diesel school bus. S-A-F-E-T-Y

The TDI provides amazing power and 28mpg! With a 26.5 gallon tank, I routinely get over 750 miles per tank. The solid and sporty ride is fantastic. Definitely my favorite vehicle so far.
