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

Audi/Porsche luxury SUV for a bargain! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By brucemcg - February 24 - 10:00 amBuy one before the word gets out! Audi 4.2L 305HP engine (same as A8), Porsche 6 speed, Audi-grade interior, 10 air bags with safety cage, etc... This car with the same configuration in Germany sells for 68k Euro, which translates to $75-80k! You can pick one up for about $40k in the US! This SUV drives like a dream. The V8 with 6-speed is silky smooth and throws you back in your seat when you push it. If you want a super luxury SUV that should sell for $75k at the bargain price of the century, act now!!! And by the way, purchase a 100k warranty for around $1500, and have no reservations!

Poor Quality - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By NO Touareg - February 12 - 2:00 amPurchased on a Sat. afternoon. Within the 20 mile home I already had problems. First the heated seats didnt work, the CD player broke, the head lights were not aligned correctly, the steering wheel was not top centered. The car had a bad shake at 70 MPH and pulled to the right. After I got home I noticed paint discoloration on the lift gate. I did more research online and found this to be a problematic vehicle. See club touareg.com. It is filled with horror stories of poor quality, numerous breakdowns, and little available parts to fix your vehicle. I brought it back to the dealer I bought mine from on Monday and got my money and trade-in back.

First owner of Touareg in our City - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By K Strickland - February 12 - 2:00 amThe Touareg (our 3rd VW with Jetta and Passat V6 4 Motion previously) attracted us by it exterior and interior styling. Cost for features compared to BMW and Lexus was a great value. Sold on our prior experience with VW we were immediately transfixed by the Touaregs appearance.

Still breaking it in... - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By JiggyJoe Johanus - January 13 - 10:00 amWeve had this truck for just a week. We traded in our W8 Passat for a bit more vehicle and a bit more payment; my wife has had her heart set on an SUV for some time and I finally succumbed to her wishes for once. She loves it, I like it. Its roomier, nicer, and feels much more luxurious. We got the base V8 with an upgraded stereo system, bi-xenon lights and the winter package. Thus far weve only put about 400 miles on it, and no off- roading, but thats coming soon.

Awesome Vehicle - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By FISHORCUTBAIT - January 6 - 2:00 amSpent the last week driving my folks new Touareg V8 and couldnt say enough to really do it justice. I ordered my own today with the V10 TDI scheduled for production early November and delivery for January. Went with the V10 TDI for better fuel economy (24 mpg on the HWY) and increased torque for pulling my boat. Besides, the V10 TDI has won several international awards for its engineering.

Take a long test drive - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By arbee - December 31 - 2:00 amPurchased a 2004 in dec 03, partly for the tax break. Car is built like a bank vault, everything seems to be of high quality, switch gear feels very audi/mercedes like. Acually i like everything about the car except for two thing. Fuel milage is poor - best i can get driving only for mileage is 19-20 on the highway. Regular driving 12-14 mpg and this is on premium fuel. Second thing is seat design, seat is comfortable for about 1/2 hour, after that, the much too firm side bolsters cut into my nice normal sized rearend. Like the car enough though to have seat bolsters changed at upholstery shop, right now using a seat pad that works ok.

Great Car buy poor remote antenna - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By asamreth - December 31 - 2:00 amGreat car, but VW needs to improve on the range of the remote entry. My previous car, G35, has a range approximate 10 times. Folding seat concept not all that exciting. Wind noise can be annoying. VW needs to redesign rack system or improve on the aerodynamics.

mmmmmm - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By nathanoh - December 21 - 10:00 aml absolutely love my Touareg. The power is endless, it is asthetically pleasing in and out, the interior is painstakingly classy, and a comfort to sit in. I have a few issues but they are minor. There are intermittent electrical issues (radio having no sound twice, unusual and inappropriate warning lights), the seatbelt alarm that takes 5 minutes to go away if you choose to not wear your seat belt, and the tranmission is a bit rough when in the Sport setting. I highly recommend this vehicle though i do wish that with the 55,000 i spent that VW would put a computer system in that didnt run like Windows.

not worth the money - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By VW Bummer - December 2 - 1:40 pmWe purchased this car after our first child was born. It is a heavy safe car that is fun to drive. Thats where it stops. From the start it was in the shop for trim, sensors etc.. I would have to rent a car within the dealer (usually a tiny tin can) every time I took my car for service. If I would complain at all about the frequency of these malfunctions on the car they would blow me off and tell me that I had purchased a luxury vehicle and the repairs are more extensive? ? What? Wheres my luxury service? I think VW priced themselves out of the market with this SUV. For the price you are paying you should have some service. Buy yourself a Lexus and get yourself taken care of.

04 V8 Touareg - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Bob McMahon - November 19 - 2:00 amThe doors on the car do not always close when shut and remain ajar about 50% of the time, unless slammed really hard. Some of the door handles are also remaining in the open position (or out) when released. This also causes the doors to not shut properly. The automatic shifting doesnt always shift into the 6th gear under all circumstances. It will shift into 6th gear if the shifter is moved ( to the right) into the shiftable transmission mode. Overall if the longterm relaibility is excellent Id buy another Touareg. Bob Mc Vermont
