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.

Need to be a good driver! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Steve - June 28 - 10:26 pmI have close to 100K on my 04 Taureg and I have owned an Explorer,Expedition,ML320,Jeep, and despite the noise I read about and some personal experience I still believe this is a very good car. Some advice, rotate your tires every 7k. check tire pressure once a month, change oil at 5K at a non VW shop. Also, this is a heavy car, so you need to be sensitive on how hard you hit the brake pedal. No doubt you need to be safe, but if you are an aggressive braker, you will pay for it. They are not cheap to replace. Also, negotiate with your dealer. I have been successful in replacing cost of front lights, brake pads and recently A/C work. Saved 25% of initial estimate

Amazing Vehicle - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By speedle44 - June 28 - 4:12 pmLove this Vehicle! I see a lot of bad reviews but honestly if you take good care of your car then you wont have problems! Do not buy this vehicle if your money is tight because repairs can be expensive. I have had no trouble with my touareg I LOVE IT!! Super sporty & you feel totally in control when you drive it also very safe! I have never been stranded! JUST KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES & REGULAR MAINTENANCE and trust me youll be fine!

Looks Good, but Always in the Shop - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Debbie - June 23 - 3:50 amWe bought the Volkswagen Touareg because it was a nice looking, comfortable, and easy driving SUV - without being HUGE in size. From DAY 1, this car has been nothing but trouble! Nothing that has caused it to stop running, but stupid annoyances that cause it to always be in the shop. In 2 years the car still isnt 100% corrected. If they find the problem, they cant get the parts. There is one item Ive been waiting 2 years for (yes, since I picked up the car). My advice: Look at something else until they get all the bugs out. Even now, in 2006, VW can not tell me they have all the bugs worked out of the new Touaregs.

Toureg - You Gotta See This! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By David Hudson - June 19 - 2:00 amIve had the Toureg for about a month now. What a great SUV!!! We originally were going to purchase a Land Rover Discovery, but found the Toureg to be packed with great features in one well laid-out package.

Most Unreliable Suv Ever - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By tourjunk - June 12 - 2:00 amHas been at the dealer more than our garage. Doors do not shut properly, truck refuses to start 2 out of every five times.Dealership is awful, VW customer service is the pits. VERY DISSAPOINTED!

VWs best yet! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By J Bombay - June 2 - 10:00 amWhat a joy to drive. The optional navigation system was very useful on out-of-town drives. The only drawback; the 19" sport wheels will turn your Touareg into a hockey puck on winter roads. The 18 wheels with appropriate M&S tires were perfect for Chicago winters. Next for me in 2005? The V10 diesel!

Shame on You VW - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Dave - May 10 - 12:20 amWe have had many problems with our Touareg. We did not even make it home from the dealer before we had to turn around to have things fixed! The tire PSI computer is junk and it is the source of many dealership visits, the drivers seat had to be rewired, the rear seatbelt recall is a joke, it requires the dealer to install silver metal plates on the rear belts that are visible, that rattle around when driving and scratch the plastic interior. This is not something that I expect to have on a $50,000+ VW! The tires need to be replaced at 28,000 miles on a truck that my wife drives to and from work? I would never recommend this car to anybody and would strongly recommend that they look at a different vehicle. Shame on you VW

Touareg tweety - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Mike D. - April 27 - 10:00 amWe purchased this vehicle new as a luxury SUV. Problems have been of the annoying variety. An on again/off again warbling noise when the air is on which the dealer says they cannot fix. System monitoring sensors that are faulty and a moonroof which vibrates noisily at speeds of up to 45 mph. There is a marked pause on hard acceleration, even to the point of the car revving up but the trans not engaging.I could live with the level of annoyance if this had been an entry level vehicle, say a KIA maybe,unfortunately for me this was a 50,000 vehicle and I expected more than I received.
