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.

  • Better have deep pockets for repairs - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I bought my 04 Touareg with 49,900 miles on it. Good thing I got the extended warranty because at 55K miles, the vehicle completely died in the middle of the road. Turned out to be the liquid cooled alternator. Not kidding, a liquid cooled alternator. That repair was over $1,000 but was covered under the extended warranty. The tire pressure sensors constantly act up and remind you about it every time you start the vehicle. Each tire sensor costs $700 to replace. The headlights were flickering on and off. I had them replaced at a price of $598 for the set! Most places wont change the oil, so dealership it was for me. $$$ To sum it all up, this car costs more to maintain than its worth.

  • Touareg V10 a hit!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    After suffering through a Mercedes M class, this Touareg is a joy. It is fast, solid, convenient and out-handles almost anything I have owned in the past - car or SUV. Only complaints, and they are minor, are that the radio has very poor reception and the navigation is clumsy and out-dated. I am enjoying a solid 22 miles per gallon in mixed driving and have gotten as high as 24.9 on an all highway trip. Everywhere I go peopole are interested in the vehicle; it really turns heads.

  • Triumph Of Human Ingenuity... - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    That mankind is capable of producing such a technologically advanced automotive machine must be recognized at the highest levels of human achievement. Safety, Performance, Style, Function, and Luxury was refined with such careful thought and precision. After test-driving an ML500, BMW X5, Lexus GX, and R.Rover, this is the vehicle of choice for my new family, at any price. The Touareg feels like the best of my Porsche and my wifes Mercedes plus more. Marlboro man waved us down today, for a look. He grinned and asked "How many horses?" 310, I said. In a puff of smoke, he replied "Man, that is a beautiful machine!"

    We were adjusting the height of the car so my grandma could get in and the darn air suspension would not work! After attempting to fix it for 15 min. or so we gave up and went inside and all of a sudden the car went down after we were inside. Talk about safety here, what if something had suddenly come under the car, like my kid. And I feel like a soccer mom driving the thing, it looks like a mini-van.

  • I Love this SUV!!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    It has been a wonderful ride! This car is very comforable, very economy and very luxurious. I enjoy the handling and especially the off-road capability it has. Helps a lot especially during flooding.

    If you can get by the funny name, the Touareg is well designed midsize SUV. The interior is comfortable and has a lot of standard features that were options on other SUVs that I looked at. It handles the snow without any difficulty, and rides like a dream on the open highway. If it does have a downside it is its fuel mileage. This is the SUV I picked after test drives in the Lexus RX330 and Infiniti FX35 since the price was the same and I felt I got more for my money with the Touareg.

  • Title of Review - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I havent had my car for long...little over a week...but so far I love it. Ive already taken it on several road trips and am in love with how smoothly the car handles turns, bumps, dips, and other road conditions. Its so smooth its almost easy to forget Im driving and easy to speed! Its so comfortable that I could sleep in it! Great car overall. Sporty, efficient, smooth, classy, quick, and powerful. A luxury car with sporty features and plenty of room.

  • Buy one, if you can find one. - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    This thing is incredible. If ranked soley as a luxury car, off-road 4x4, sport sedan, station wagon, it would do very well. The fact that it can do ALL of those functions, is amazing. We have a current BMW M5 and its no longer the favorite car to drive! No kidding. We had a Cayenne Turbo on order. Im sure its nice, but glad we went V10 Diesel instead.
