This Year's Model Updates:

The five-passenger Touareg is an all-new midsize SUV from Volkswagen. Designed to provide both excellent handling on pavement and a high level of off-road ability, the Touareg, despite its unibody design, is a real SUV, not a soft-roader. Alongside that, buyers can look forward to beautifully furnished cabins equipped with plenty of standard convenience and safety features.

Pros:
  • Upscale interior, polished road manners, amazingly adept off-road, solid construction, lengthy standard equipment list.
Cons:
  • Poor fuel economy, not a lot of room in the backseat, no in-dash CD changer.

    I love this SUV. I have had a jeep and a QX4. The Touareg handles like a jeep, rides like a sedan and had no road noise as did the QX4. It is comfortable.

    Only having the car a week I can only tell you that it has been A BLAST

  • LOVE IT!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    I have never had this much fun driving a vehicle. I constantly find myself thinking, if not saying "WHEEE!" when taking corners in it. I also enjoy not being one of the many with Mercedes, Lexus, or other over- manufactured vehicles that are a dime a dozen. Drives like a dream. As I enter the garage each time, or approach in the parking lot, I am still awed by its beauty, and cant believe its actually mine.

  • Least Reliable Car I ever owned - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I bought this car used just over a year ago. Ive had almost 20K in repairs in that time. I found out afterwards that 2004 was the first year of the touareg and the V10. It is loaded with all sorts of problems. Mine has been in the shop 3 months of the first year. Do a web search before buying one. When it does work its the best car Ive owned, so if its a second car that you dont have to use daily then buy it. We need it for towing and its ruined quit a few weekends buy either stranding us somewhere or having to cancel because it was in the shop again.

    This vehicle is fun to drive and it would rank high with any sports vehicle in its performance. Plus it looks great

  • Nightmare - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Vin # 2,8xx. put over 5,000 miles on loaner vehicles while waiting for parts/repair. VWoA doesnt seem to care about customer satisfaction. Takes 3 seperate visits to the service department for 10,000 mile service & 4 other "electrical" complaints. Service department must me more concerned about billable warranty hours that customer satisfaction.

  • Run, Dont Walk Away From This SUV - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    Where to begin? Everything you have read is true. Brakes seem to go out every two years and when they do, prepare to replace your rotors. Tires go out every two years also and I pay about $900 to have four new tires put on. Oil changes are upward of $100 and dealing with the dealership is a living HELL. Beautiful car, but insane to maintain. I am thankful I dont have car payments. I will NEVER own a VW again!

  • Junk!!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I wish I could rate this thing lower than a 1 on reliability. Tire PSI warning system, updates etc... It drinks gas and it is ALWAYS in the shop. I didnt even make it home the 1st day before I had to take it back for the Tire Warning System, and it has not gotten any better. Should you be on a first name basis with ALL of the service writers BEFORE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE!! Shame on you VW, shame on you for selling me this junk car and not even making a concerned effort to fix the monster you created! This will be my last VW ever.
