2006 Volkswagen Touareg consumer reviews

I have 2006 V8 version. At 80k I had full engine replacement (not covered). And since then, basically everything else that could fail, failed. When it works, it is fun to drive, but it is very expensive to own and operate (hope you have a good mechanic if you own one).

I bought this car in 2011 when it was 5 years old with about 75k miles. It’s 2020. With 216k miles, I still want to keep this car. I have used a Mercedes Benz, BMW and Honda Accord but none of them impressed me better. It still drives like new and has been with me through thick and thin. I am looking to get a Porsche Cayenne, but I’ll keep my Touareg for a while longer. If I had a museum, I’ll place it on a pedestal. To think that people were discouraging me from buying the car. How wrong they were!

This car meets all my current needs, it’s fun and a good commute, it has room for my legs and back is comfortable. It’s a great ride. Thank you !

Started the truck and did not want to be responsible for it not making it back to the lot. I never moved the truck due to the bad noses coming from the motor. they did their own repairs, but won't fix the the nose you here when its running. I truck has been for sale for more then two years now

This SUV is pretty but VW is a dishonest company and it certainly not the people's car. If anyone has ever tried to work on a VW you will find that they do everything to make it difficult for the average guy to repair unless you buy a bunch of expensive tools. For God's sake a simple oil change is a nightmare....and who can ever get used to changing a tire. They are the only company I know of who uses the ridiculous bolts instead of lug nuts. The car is reliable but very very expensive for everyday use. I will never buy a VW ever again and I am hoping to get rid of this one. I've had this SUV for about 10 years now but I've sunk too much money to ever get it back. It would be happy day when this company is shut down, dishonest on so many fronts.

Truck very comfortable. Drives well haven?t had any problems out of it. I have a family who loves my new truck and we ride very comfortable and secure!!!

Expensive to purchase, expensive to maintain, but that's what you get when you buy a luxury vehicle... performs like a champ on and off road. 14.56s 1/4mi at Waterfest Englishtown NJ. Can crawl over objects on just 2 wheels! Turbos, DPFs, water pump, driveshaft bearings are prone to failure, all of which I've had replaced oh and 2 batterieswill set you back $500. Air suspension is a dream and the included air hose to fill up tires is a bonus. Towed a 2axle 12' enclosed trailer ~70+mph from Boston to Miami and back, most of the time forgetting it was even attached. Enjoy!

This car is amazing. It drives well in summer and handles like a tank in the snow. 4 wheel drive, super comfy. Just a great overall vehicle. Tows up to 7700 lbs.

VW knows about many problems bit refuses to repair them unless the government steps in of you sue VW. For years VW knew about leaking fuel in they're Touareg models but refuse to repair or replace that pump unless you pay for it until the government finally got them to do it in 2018. We will never buy another VW, Audi or Porsche automobile again. Unfortunately I still own a VW Touareg and a Porsche 928 never again will I purchase any vehicles from Volkswagen Porsche Audi never. ionic bond many other automobile Zen on other automobile at this moment but would never purchase another one from them

the car is very hard working and is able to tow anything even a Boeing 747 so this proves that it is perfect for a family road trip
