"Awesome vehicle - best I have ever owned. Diesel getting better than expected mileage. Lots of power and smooth ride for an SUV. No issues in 4000 miles so far. Sold my Audi Q5 to get this - good decision."

"The rear tires on this vehicle are at a slight angle (per VW's recommendations/requirements) this causes the tires to wear unevenly, so when the tires are rotated at 10K miles, a loud tire noise and vibration are what you get starting at 10K miles. Apparently this is "normal" for this vehicle and is something the driver is supposed to live with... it only got worse at 20K miles. On the plus side- it's pretty roomy inside, the all wheel drive is great in the winter time, and it's a sharp looking vehicle. For the money, I think in my personal experience, a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander would have been a better choice..."

"Got the Exec TDI in March after considering the LR4, Range Rover, X5 and Cayenne. The Touareg is really great. First it is just the best looking SUV out there. Secondly the value for money, even at $58k is very good. Fit and finish is superb and it is loaded to the hilt with features. I am getting 28-31 MPG on the highway and 24 around town. The best part, which my buddies find shocking, is that I get 18-19 MPG towing a Porsche 911 on a Trailex 8045 trailer. That's about double a Tahoe. The Touareg is difficult to find around NYC where I live so I went on cars.com and found one in Pensacola. Flew down and bought it and took a nice drive back over a few days."

"Only thing I can say somewhat negative about this suv is the huge vw emblems on it. Come on vw make them smaller. Love the suv. The best I have driven hands down. Power, mpg (30mpg on Interstate at 80mph), style, comfort and ride!!"

"2011 TDI Premium Very nice, but seats could be more comfortable and had trouble with key fob, sine its replacement it?s been fine. Positives; handles great, good acceleration 0-60, fair above that. Very nice interior and love the full sun roof. Very good mileage. Negatives; had minor problems with the key fob, but once it was replaced, it?s been fine"

"Purchased a TDI Executive last week. Considered Q5/7, X5, and Acadia Denali. The ride, features, fit and finish, and styling made the Touareg the hands down choice. 529 miles of "wow!" so far. 80 mph on freeway and you can hear a pin drop. Zero vibration. It rides better than both Audi's and has more forgiving suspension than the X5. I won't even mention comparison to the Acadia (there is none). 26.7 mpg to date. I'm sure after break-in will only get better. Dynaudio system is outstanding and the Nav system is much more intuitive than I expected. I'm very impressed with this car to date."
