Touaregs' a 10 !!!Source: Edmunds
...I switched from a 1994 Supra TT into the Touareg and have no regrets. |

So disappointed I traded it in within a monthSource: Edmunds
...I am a 4-time VW owner (Fox, old Jetta, new Jetta, Touareg), so I was eager for a reasonably priced wagon that gets great fuel economy. |

My nicest VW to dateSource: Edmunds...Its fuel economy has been around 16+ mpg, as advertised. For a 5,300 pound vehicle, I cannot complain. It has massive power, sticky cornering on all its season tires, a great 6 speed tiptronic transmission, and all of the creature comforts that I have never known in a Volkswagen. The best ownership factor is not seeing one every mile on the road, like the Ford Explorer, BMW X5, etc. Always get the "high five" from other VW drivers. I just easily handled 10+ inches of fresh snowfall on back roads of the Eastern Shore of VA. I was the last vehicle into my community before the roads were deemed... |

Super SUVSource: Edmunds
...I've been an Audi owner for years, but opted for the VW this go 'round because I didn't care for the Q7 exterior and I liked the air suspension option on the Touareg. |

VW TRIES TO COMPETE WITH THE BIG GUYS(V-8)Source: MSN Autos...Cons: I AM FED-UP WITH VW, I KNOW I KNOW ITS ONLY THE FIRST YEAR THEY CAME OUT WITH THIS BUT THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT! I HAVE HAD AN OCCASION OF BALD TIRES... THE CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACTS, THEY WERE BALD AT 10,000 MILES! MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MILWAUKEE REPLACED THE FRONT 2 AND SAID THE BACK 2 WERE OVER INFLATED, AND COULD NOT BE REPLACED. ANOTHER ITEM ON THE TOUAREG IS THAT VW WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE IN THE NEW DIRECTION OF LUXURY WITH THE NEW PHEATOM AND TOUAREG IF THEY ARE GOING AT THE RATE THEY ARE WITH ELECTRONICS, MY GAGES ARE GOING OF LIKE CRAZY ALL THE TIME WITH... |

Why should I also consider these?
If your needs involve more passenger-hauling than off-roading, you'll probably be better off with one of the many more carlike crossover vehicles, as the Touareg can feel especially heavy and cumbersome with no reward in terms of interior space.
The Acura MDX and Lexus RX are both better options for passenger comfort; they feel roomier inside and handle well, though their appointments might not seem quite as exclusive.
The Audi Q7, which is related to the Touareg, has an available third-row seat and a beautiful, more expansive interior; it doesn’t have such a focus on off-road ability, so it handles a bit better on the road.
The X5 and MDX are the best choices of this group for those who want an SUV that feels frisky and agile.
But if you plan to off-road or tow in luxury, the Touareg is one of the best SUVs for its size.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class has off-road and towing ability but outdoes the Touareg with a more spacious, more passenger-friendly interior, however.
