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 so Far - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Had a lot of questions on the Touareg Read all I could find . Went out and test drove the touareg and I was HOOKED, had to have one. Talked to the wife and went out that night and bought my Venition Green with Tan leather... sharp looking combo. V8 runs like a bear. Had a Lincoln LS, performance is as good if not better then the LS. Car is solid, heavy feel, pulls 7700 lbs. I feel it out performs the BMW X5, Benz ML, and Lexus 330. Very quiet on the road and cant hear or feel if the engine is running. Recommend it highly. So far soooo gooood. Mileage could be better, but when you look at the performance, Guess you have to pay for it. Avg. 16mpg. Heavy-foot it and you get 14mpg. Very happy.

  • What an Expensive Piece of Junk!!!!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    2004 Touareg with under 60K miles. I have never had a better maintained vehicle because its in the shop at least once a month! And expensive!!!!??? A key - $75, key with remote - $150. Headlamp replacement is an annual event. They dont last very long and require a mechanic to install and even Factory techs hate replacing them! Cost - $150. It also has issues that the dealers keep blowing off. This is just the cheap stuff! Its a good day when I can get it out of the shop for under $500. Im on a first name basis with the wrecker driver the dealer uses.

  • A very nice SUV - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    An excellent vehicle for what it is, an SUV (not a big fan of the genre). This is my wifes car and we have been longtime VW owners (we traded in her 2002 Passat 1.8T 5spd). We almost did not get it and went with the BMW X3 because VW does not offer the Touareg in the US with a manual transmission (for shame!). This was a disappointment for my wife but not a deal breaker (it would have been for me) and she does enjoy the Tiptronic automatic but would still prefer the manual.

  • LOVE IT!! - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I love everything about my Touareg except for one thing. The gas mileage. It kills me(and my wallet!) every time I fill up. It gives the word "guzzler" a whole new meaning! However, it is so much fun to drive and I love it so much that I have decided to overlook this one flaw. Also, I receive comments, questions and compliments on it everywhere I go. My Touareg receives more attention than any other vehicle Ive ever owned.

  • Worst vehicle I have ever own - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    You will get a love hate relationship with this SUV. It drives great, great in the snow, has great power. It is fun to drive and looks nice. The SUV has some stupid build designs, like the battery is under the drivers seat. Lets talk about how expensive it is to own this vehicle. Replaced thermostat $1200. that right $1200.00 the front part of the car has to be taken off the thermostat is in the front of the engine, so you might as well replace water pump and belt. Your going to have problems with the airbags, the tire monitoring system. The worst part is the battery drain as I hate a car that wont start. So it gets expensive to own the vehicle. Oh and the brakes that was another $1100.

  • Big Truck, Small Feel. Drinks Gas - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I have had my new V8 Touraeg for about 2 weeks now an love it! Lots and lots of power. Good looking interior with attention to detail. Quiet and smooth ride (my old truck was a Ford Explorer). This truck is a lot larger than it looks.

    I LOVE THIS CAR! I COULDNT HAVE BOUGHT ANYTHING BETTER

  • underpowered - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    The vehicle is very underpowered for being a 40,000 car. If I could do it again, I would have either spent the extra money for the V8 or gone with my initial choice, the Porsche Cayenne. This is what happens when you want to save a few bucks a month.
