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.

  • The finest - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    The VW Touareg is the finest suv I have ever driven and I have had alot of luxury vehicles in my life.The Touareg gives you a feeling of safety and sureness you cannot experience in other luxury suv vehicles.Its power and nimbleness combine to give you a feeling like no other.I love my Touareg and plan on getting another one after this one.I would recommend it to anyone.The only thing I would improve is the gas mileage but for all the other great things this great machine does it is worth the trade-off.

  • You bought a what? Toureg? - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    No one knows about this SUV, yet the people who do understand know what it is to drive a true touring SUV. I am an urban cowboy who loves his comforts and the Toureg provides all you need and more. A bit slow on start up until you put the car in S. Then away you go. The engineering could not be better. Sound system excellent. I just cam out of a Lexas 300RX and this is better built SUV. The SUV even can give you the tire pressure along with other information. The V8 is very fast but gas costly. I just spent the weekend on a long trip and never had to stop because of discomfort. A pure pleasure. Enjoy!

  • V8 T-Reg, - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    Great SUV, Most SUVs forget the "sport" and only remeber the U and the V. My T-Reg dosent disappoint in the pefomance dept, the only problem is that I am racing from gas station to gas station.

  • Touareg Troubles - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    Ive been reading about all the Touareg troubles and hope that I dont encounter these problems in the future. I have only 10,000 miles on mine and have only expeirenced trouble with the tire pressure systems false readings and mis-aimed headlights which I had to fix myself. The excessive tire wear is a common problem with all T-regs and Cayennes due to their weight of 5,200+lbs. The same goes for the brakes on both vehicles. The electrical problems are hit and miss. Ill be curious to see if the new Q7 will have any of these same problems? Good luck!

  • Best Value for Money - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I shopped them all FX35 and 45 ,ML500 too old a design, BMW 4.4 doesnt compare, the only one in the same league was the Land Rover Range Rover at 75 large. For 33k less Ive got an equally good on and off road car. Gas mileage is about as I expected am averaging 16 mpg. but I wanted the grunt of the big V8 and I loveit. By the way it runs well on regular. Its a great car and my hats oiff to VW for creating it. It fills a huge void in the SUV fdield, fit finish and build quality are as good as it gets. It drives and handles great as well, and off road its in a league of its own. Cant say enough good things about it.

    The basic vehicle is well engineered, but the creature conforts and some controls are not user freindly. Auto door locks are not reliable. Chime for seat belt annoying. Comes on as soon as you start car. Chimes when car is in park. Rear hatch will not unlock with door locks, then after you unlock it and the reclose it, it locks again.

  • Great SUV - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

    The v8 has all the power you could want in a suv. The navigation system is really nice to have and works very well. I have never owned anything that gets so much attention on the road.

  • NOT A TRUCK ... RIDES LIKE A DREAM/CAR - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    I WAS AMAZED AT THE EASE AND COMFORT OF WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE BIG AND AWKWARD. THIS LUXURY SUV RIDES LIKE A CAR AND IS EASY TO MANEUVER. STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOCUSES ON SAFETY AND PAMPERING. OPTIONS ALLOW FOR PERSONALIZATION OF USE. A GREAT VEHICLE...I MADE A GREAT CHOICE AND AM HAPPY THAT I DID.

  • Not too happy - 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
    By -

    We have had this car in and out of the shop several times. Tires are ridiculous on our model. They keep going bald with not even 18,000 miles on them. Weve had countless sensors go bad, seatbelts recalled. The middle back seatbelt keeps locking up anytime we put the seat down. I have two small children that it makes me nervous to be in the back seat with the amount of stress and tension thats on the seat itself. VW customer service is an absolute joke to work with! If you have a problem you can forget any speediness in resolving the issue. We are on our third seatbelt, second set of tires and on our third call to an attorney!
