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.

  • BEST VEHICLE EVER - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    I love this truck....Nothing better...Revolution in vehicle design

  • Excellent SUV! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Weve had our V6 Touareg for about a month now and absolutely love it! Its our first VW vehicle and selected after carefully looking at the Lexus GX470. For $10K less and a better rating by Car and Driver it was an easy decision. Actually like the exterior better than the sister car the Cayenne. Excellent experience with the Sales and Service Team at Duke Golds Speedway VW in Indy!

  • Love my Tourey the Touareg - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    Love the car -- so much fun to drive. Got the V6 and both my husband and I are more than pleased with the power it has. Looked at BMW X3, Acura MDX and Lexus RX330 and when we compared everything felt that the Touareg was the best value for the money. The gas mileage could be better. Bought the car in 5/04 and at least in our area they were very willing to deal with us.

  • Brillance falling short - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Im on my second Touareg as my first was unofficially declared a lemon and swapped with a better Touareg after 3,000 miles (albeit older production model) by VW corporate. Gorgeous vehicle, wonderfully sporty drive in V8 (avoid V6, not enough power) however plagued with problems. Have spent more time in loaner VW cars than I care for; first Treg had electrical issues that could never be solved, this one is back in the shop after 11,000 miles for over a week. Navigation system is weak and not worth the premium, transmission is jerky, battery drain issues create uncertain feelings towards day to day reliability. Once reliability concerns are addressed, this will be a fantastic vehicle.

  • Very Pleased Indeed - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    This is an extraordinary SUV. I prize its high speed highway manners. Close your eyes and you can imagine that it is a 7 series BMW sedan. High speeds, cross winds phase it not at all. The engine transmission combination is a winner! Very silky and satisfying. I compared it to the Volvo XC90, MDX and Cayenne S. Actually this one was the winner for long distance driving. Yes the Cayenne has an edge if you want to toss it around, but it is less comfortable for long trips. We had a couple of minor warning light glitches that the dealer solved at once.

  • Big Problems - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    We have owned the vehicle for about 3 months and the problems keep mounting. Terrible transmission. Gear changing is very hard and unpredictable. VW says this is normal. Seats are not comfortable and the vehicle rides rough. We like the Interior features such as the Navigation and Stereo. The constant reminders going off are annoying. We have taken it for 7 problems in a 4 month period, including 3 recalls. We wish we could trade it but the value has dropped like a rock so we are stuck with it. Let VW fix the many issues and consider purchasing one in about 3 years. Maybe then the transmission will actually resemble a car and not a bulldozer.

    very sexy car...my chicas love it! but the acceleration is poor for a V8

  • VW Quality Stinks - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Although the look + feel of the Touareg is great, the quality + dealer service is aweful. If youre looking for a luxury SUV and expect luxury service from a dealer DONT buy this car! VW does NOT know how to provide luxury level service and our vehicle is constantly in for service.

  • Great Car - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I am speechless, I never thought that VW would make a car that would be neck to neck with BMW X5s and Mercedes MLs.
