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.

  • Worth the Price! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    A Volkswagon for this price???? Yup..., and worth every penny. Theres nothing "economy" about this vehicle (certainly not price or fuel economy). But it handles like a sports car, and rides like a luxury car.

  • Wud be great if wasnt bugged - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Mechanically I give it the highest reviews, really excellent, power, fun to drive. Seats could be more comfortable, stereo system could be better. The HUGE problems is general instability in the on-board electronics, nothing is reliable, owners manual is very very pooly written, had it for less than 2 months, been to the dealership 4 times. The keys definitely have a design problem as you hear many people complaining about then (ridiculos range, erratic responsiveness, etc)

  • Total Electrical Failure! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I purchased an off-lease VW Touareg that was VW certified, drove well for 1 year then electrical problems started. Truck would just die without any lights, etc being on. Since then it has been in and out of Volkswagen for complete electrical failure, even VW doesnt know how to fix it. They claimed it was after-market wiring which is strange because it was a certified used VW. Anyone looking to buy a used Touareg dont do it you will never be able to drive it and pay almost more than the car is worth fixing it!

    Always drove BMW, fell in love with new Touareg design - big mistake to buy with emotion!!! 3 weeks and 528 miles later the car has been in the shop for cd player, alignment pulling to the right, gas gauge not registering correctly. I am horrified to read all these stories about the level of service. My rental car is a ford focus, with roll down windows!

  • FUN Solid Drive - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I haven’t had this much fun driving a car since my new 85 Corvette. Excellent in the deep snow and nibble on dry curve roads at speed, and I do mean speed! I test drove most of the top end SUV’s..FX45/ML500/X5 and Murano. The Touareg beat them hands down for drive, acceleration and comfort . This is my daily commuter (125 miles) Wash. D.C. Beltway to rural roads in Pa. ONE FUN CAR!

  • You Cant Beat Being "Free Folk" - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Volkswagen may be the company that brought us the VW Bug, but the Touareg is well worth the money. Im amazed at all of the standard equipment that comes with this vehicle. People complain about the power of the V6 and say theyre wrong! Drive this thing around in "sport" mode and youre gonna have a really good time. Message To Volkswagen: Well Done!

  • A MUST SUV - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    I must admit people look at this car on the road. It gets plenty of attention. Its unique looks and sleek style def. turns heads. This car does not dissapoint. If youre in the market for a quality SUV which is not common place on the road..you must consider this SUV!!I

  • 04 was a bad year - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    We love the way our Touareg rides, drives and handles, but hate the reliability, and gremlins in the electrical system that we have experienced over the two years we have owned it.

  • A Cayenne for $20K less - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    The SUV is great: Performs well, looks great inside and out. Comfort could be better in the backseats. Front seats take a bit longer to get use to but are very comfortable. Fuel Economy is not good...but whatd you expect, this isnt your uncles Honda...This is still not as bad as a Range Rover or Hummer.
