I will not be purchasing another Volkswagen

3 problems with this car: 1. The distance between the sun visor and height of the seat for the driver is too large for a person of 5 feet tall. This is a significant safety issue when the sun is bright. 2. Carplay can easily be disrupted to the point of absolute silence for both Carplay & the car rafio stations. This is extremely annoying! 3. The windshield wipers were extremely noisy on the car when it was purchased NEW. Poor quality control.

Great Value, Good Ride

Our 2022 Taos is almost 2 years old with about 21K mileage. Very satisfied with our car. For the price point (25K) it provides good handling, a comfortable ride and great interior space for a subcompact SUV. The gas mileage is amazing at over 40 MPG on the highway and about 30 MPG tooling around town. Couldn't be happier!

Best Affordable SUV around!

2023 Taos really fits. Even having the S model. The SUV looks slick! Gas mileage is pretty darn good! And the response for a 4 cylinder is great! Really happy with my purchase! Best looking SUV youll find in the $25k-$30k area!

Love my TAOS

First off the gas mileage is great. I can get up to 30-32 miles in city and get up to 40 on highway. Its an excellent ride very smooth. Its feels real sturdy and safe. Has driver assistance to prevent crossing lines or hitting person in front of you. Has backup camera also and the sun roof goes from the fron to the back of the roof The more I drive it the more I love it.

Taos is a great ride

Leaving the #1 reason of buying the car on the side for now which is the value for money 💰. The car fits all my needs, fuel economy, very comfort driving. The service package comes with it is impressive. I’m 6.3 and I can drive comfortably and there is enough legroom for anyone sits behind me. I think this car solved a very big problem when it comes to price, performance and comfort!

Great New Car!

My first new Volkswagen and it drive perfectly! Love the handling and interior styling. It also has more features in the base trim than its Japanese rivals.

Almost a hit

The good for this vehicle is the looks great and has the practicality to match. After going from dealership to dealership and testing multiple vehicles. This seems to check lots of boxes. Well designed front dashboard, good volume, decent acceleration and lots of safety features. The bad is use of hard plastics inside and lack of sound dampening materials. Having compared it to the Asian automotive manufacturers, it definitely feels less luxurious. It also feels downgraded to the outgoing Golf that it replaces. The ugly for this vehicle is that it takes time to get a good feeling for the acceleration. You have to be a slow and smooth with the throttle. It needs to engage the first gear before you get the power. When that power hits it will push you back into your seat if you are not careful. I found after doing lots of research and rides, I liked the peppy feeling of this smaller SUV and it that reminds me more of my youthful days. It might not be as nice as my truck, but it sure is a lot better on gas!
