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.

  • what a good "egg" - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    got my treg in march and just bumped over 3,000 miles. i love driving this rig. i am not in need of tons of power, but i have to say even the v6 exceeds my expectations. i love the luxurious feel of being in my treg and love the looks and compliments i get.

  • Never running out of driving fun - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    used to trade cars every 1-2 yrs, BMW, Acura, Mini, Honda, MB, but still keeping this car more than 3 yrs. Feeling of very secure driving and confidence. No mechanical trouble so far-very lucky. Nothing fancy or outstanding in the parking lot but never out of style. Liked its different driving settings and plying it all the time. Still very satisfied up to 95% of my expectation.

  • Wacthy out during and after warranty - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I have bought new cars for years. Ive never had problems like this. We own two VWs so I feel I am quite experienced to tell you not to buy one. During warranty they will fix everything no problem. Of course you have to take it in tens times. I own a 2005 Passat and a 2004 Touareg each only gets around 14000 a year in milage. Now that it is out of warranty I am shelling out money left and right. Rear window hydraulics gone at 61k miles etc. - transmission has had three repairs and has broken down again today leaving me stranded in the woods with my family while camping with a 5 yo. I will never let the reliability of a volkswagon be the determining factor of my familys safety again.

  • toureg v-8 - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    i like the color combination- off-road gray and the teak interior,i have over 21000 miles now with zero problems,the 4.2 liter v-8 has more than adequate power for this suv. my previous car was an mb 430 and this suv is much better in every respect.

    I bought my touareg sept 2 and since then it has been in the shop five times.three for the rear window sensor not locking properly,two for the ESP not operating properly.My touareg has spent a cumulative week and a half in the shop and i havent even had it for a month yet.i wish i had ESP because if i did i would have never bought this truck...

  • Touraeg Luxury SUV - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Ive owned my Touraeg two years and am completely satisfied. Other than its poor gas mileage, this truck is exceptional. It handles like a sports car, has a very firm, comfortable ride, has superb acceleration (with V8), has one of the highest towing ratings in its class, has the interior finish youd expect of a luxury car, interior cabin noise is phenomenal, and the stereo rocks. Plus the body style is one of the sharpest.

  • Over priced with all short falls - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Good, not great overall. GPS is accurate but has very poor software, lacking information that most other software(DeLorme) offers at a very resonable price. Buy a palm and software from DeLorme for less than half VWs cost and get ten times the information. Problems with rear seat belt and tricky back seats to lay flat. GM is much easier. Go with V8 not V6, more money but much more satifaction. Both engines get poor mileage, under EPA rateings. Premium fuel. Been back to dealer several times, still needs work. Very poor trade in value. How did so many people mistankenly decide this was a supposed outstanding vehicle?

  • a Lemon - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I found it was fun to drive. Very nice interior, I was very happy with the car. Started having problems with suspension, wheel bearings, etc. Total of days in the dealership has equaled approx. 4 months. Egineers from volkswagen have not been able to fix problem. I left the car in the dealership to fix since July 22, 2004, still in the dealership; they have not been able to fix. It is my understanding they had two other cars with the same problem. I am in the process of returning under the "Lemon Law".

  • Best Of The Lot - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I researched many SUVs such as Infinity, Nissan, Acura, Lexus, Honda, BMW and Toyota and found the Touareg superior to all of them. VW has done an excellent job with their first entry into the SUV market. This is one vehicle I was really excited about buying. Hope the Touareg turns out to be reliable , if so it will be the best vehicle I have ever owned.
