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.

My first two weeks in a V8 Touareg - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Xavier - December 30 - 10:00 amI opened the door of a black V8 equipped with a cognac colored leather interior - reminiscent of a nicely worn baseball glove. The look was of clean German lines with plush British detail - perfect! Hop on the seat and you know this car is solid. I drove one which allowed me to set the suspension to its most road-worthy setting. This vehicle cornered like my BMW. I leased it the next business day and Ive never had so much fun driving anything. The gas mileage, however, is dreadful. Id only trade it for a Porsche Cayenne; but thats about $15,000 more and the gas milage is reported to be as brutal. J. Longo Somerset County, New Jersey

An other week without my Touareg - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Looking to Sell Toua - December 27 - 8:36 amI would not take this vehicle further than 10 miles from home because of reliability problems. Number of ignition coils, air bag, tire pressure, faulty gas cap, door locking problems, just to name a few. Last VW I will ever own!!

Do your homework for both Treg & dealer - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Pabby - December 13 - 10:00 amReading Edmunds reviews, I was concerned about quality issues. My born-on date is 3/04. Perhaps issues have been worked out. Have Reed Green with beige leather. Love it. Fit and finish is unbelievable. Im 66" and am very comfortable. Dealer experience was 1980s smarmy time-warp. Heritage VW-MD posted internet prices by VIN on their web-site. Fair price shown for exact trim I wanted. I had all numbers worked out with a +/- contingency. Was told by sales guy that were close to getting it done.Go to close w/MGR and he wanted $1.5k over web. Uncomfortable. Threatened to walk. Never recommend them. Lost a service customer forever.

Nice Car - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By 00AUDIA6 - December 13 - 10:00 amThe Touareg is a nice car, Very elegant interior. The rear visibility is better than in the cayenne, as well as having the same engine and transmission for $10,000 less, but was still a tough descision. The Navigation system is nice how it gives voice prompts, but nag screens for safety become annoying to passenger. Park Beepers too sensitive. With all of these good things, there were still setbacks. Phantom sunroof would only go in direction of selector (wouldnt stop) when at target (weird!). Mileage was around 12 for several months the Xenon Lights will occasionally go out and rain sensor faulty.

My best car so far - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By Michel, Arizona - December 7 - 10:00 amAfter owning a 2001 BMW X5 4.4 l, and a 2002 Mercedes ML 500, I can seriously say, the Toareg V8, fully equipped is in the same price league and far superior. We take long trips to Utah, Death Valley, comfort on the highway is slightly better than the Mercedes, much better than the BMW. Acceleration, with the six speed automatic is better than both. The largedifference is when you go off road. The Touareg is a true class five off roads, we go where Jeep tours are surprised we got there, or wont even go further. The ability of the Touareg to do highway anf off road best is based on its adjustable road clearance. Low for hairpins, high for no road at all.

Think twice about the Touareg - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By LDH - December 7 - 10:00 amWe bought the VW T, 8c, primarily looking for an SUV with the weight benefit for tax purposes (greater than 6k lbs.) The Touareg is great fun to drive, but the problems we have had with it, to date (9 months) have been RIDICULOUS. Started from day 1, when things were broken after getting back from the dealership. 3 different recall issues having to visit the service dealership. Dozens of little things, that are annoying and need to be fixed with service visits. Id advise against the Touareg at least until the 2005 model year... too many things wrong with the first model year here in the US. memo to VW.. work on service if you want to compete

The Best SUV Ive Ever Driven - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By iloveit - November 24 - 10:00 amThe V8 Touareg is the best SUV Ive ever driven. The trip computer is in color!! Everything is right where you need it. I love the NAV and upgraded stereo. My salesman actually took me OFF ROAD and showed me the different features it has (hill descent, locking differential, air suspension) It can do anything a Rover can do for 25000 less!

A new Era for VW. - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
By A1t-egg - November 24 - 10:00 amI stopped in the VW house just after the release of the T-egg just for curiosity. Frankly I did not expect much from a 4x4 VW. I was floored. It was love at first sight. The exterior lines are nicer than the Porsche and with the plush leather seats, real wood inlays and the brushed metal trim, It is on par with Cayannes interior. This vehicle is loaded with cool features (Im a gadget guy): This is the most Ive enjoyed a new vehicle in many many years. More than my Land- Cruiser, LX470 and Navigator.
