VW Props

I love my VW Touareg! You can go fast or ride slow so everyone can see you. The only down fall is the 91 gas. I am not a fan. If they make a more fuel cost efficient one I would buy all over again.

Glide With Ease

If I had researcher Volkswagen Touareg before I had bought it, I would have chosen a vehicle with greater gas mileage. I would have chosen the lighter color interior.If I had a choice, I would have chosen "Black". I would have chosen a car with more rapid acceleration. I would have chosen a V8 engine. The car is very comfortable, and a much better ride in winter than my 700 series BMWs. I should know, I had two of them. I thought that they were great until I drove my Touareg in the snow, on a wet highway, or in the rain. This is a man's car. a woman's best friend. My wife loves the Touareg.

Great Car

Cars.com made the hassle of looking for my Volkswagon Touareg a breeze. The description of the car was just as it was described in the ad. I have been recommending Cars.com to all my friends and family, that is in the process of purchasing a car. I will definitely use Cars.com to help me find my next car.

better car that i had

better car that i had. A very capable highway and local vehicle with a sport-truck personality. Plenty of room and very comfortable for long trips as well. 2nd Row Seat fold-down could be easier to accomplish (hence the 5-Star Interior Design rating,) but in light of everything else I like about this V8 4X4 SUV that is a minor issue to me. One of the most attractive SUV's I have seen. East Coast blizzards of 2010 could not stop this vehicle under any circumstances

SUV with a sports car heart

Great performance, i found in similar to driving a Porsche 911. I was originally looking at the Porsche Cayenne S, but then realized that the Touareg was extremely similar, and I actually liked the interior and exterior better on the VW, not to mention the price. I know the Porsche badge might mean a lot to some, but it didn't equate to an additional $15,000 on a used car....especially not one that I found more appealing. v8 is a must and very powerful and responsive, the v6 was too sluggish for the size and weight of this vehicle. Great in the cold weather regions as well

Leaky roof!

My toureg has a leak in the roof that the dealer can't ever fix. Also, the 15MPG isn't very good. Otherwise, it is a real nice vehicle.
