Headache

Great car until over 100,000 miles. These things are notorious for failing timing chains and the v8 variant is extremely costly to maintain. Took mine to multiple shops and everyone of them refused to work on it as they don’t even have the tools and because these cars are overly complicated. Don’t even get me started on the leaking sunroof. Don’t buy this car.

Sand dunes performance

"I'm from the Middle East, and I've had the pleasure of driving this car for the past two years. Recently, I decided to take it on an adventure with my friends, who were driving American pickup trucks, to the sand dunes. To my delight, my car performed exceptionally well in this challenging terrain. Its all-wheel drive system, combined with advanced German 4WD technology, proved to be a game-changer. The car's capability shone through as I had to come to the rescue of my brothers, who got stuck in the sand dunes four times during our adventure. It's safe to say that my car's off-road prowess and technology made our desert expedition a memorable and successful one."

Versatility, style, performance - love it

Bought as a spare vehicle and it is fast becoming primary driver. Very comfortable - love the power seats and adjustable lumbar support. A Bir hard on gas but well worth the trade off for the comfort

Reliable, strong and safe

This suv is a strong and safe machine. Its V8 engine response is amazing! I love it it feels better than the Porsche Cayenne. The comfort is great and adjustable. What i really love is the durability and the strenth.

Very strong car

Good looking, very fast car, comfortable car, big car, I really like the style and I think it looks better than the new style by looking at the body and rims and how is it from the ground

2008 VW Touareg Excellent Vehicle

Purchased our 2008 Touareg used. Great vehicle, reliable, sturdy, stylish, comfortable. Gas mileage could be better, but the trade-off to have its other features is worth it. Very solid.

Better than BMW and Mercedes!

Surpasses BMW and Mercedes on every level, except the price! Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. The V8 FSI engine coupled with the Air Suspension is a must!
