The Touareg 2 is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 3 trims, ranging from the VR6 FSI to the V8 FSI.
The VR6 FSI is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 280-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway. The V8 FSI is equipped with a standard 4.2-liter, V8, 350-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.
Summary: It is a great driving car that gets 28-29 mpg on the highway and 22 in town. It will virtually climb anything you point it at with no problem. It will tow 7700 lbs with no problem. I towed 1900# car on a 2000# trailer from Atlanta, GA to Greensboro, NC. Never slowed down on any hill and had to keep checking the mirror to make sure they were still behind me. Averaged 19 mpg with the load.

Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 Touareg V8
Strengths: Looks good. Performs well.
Summary: I did a three year lease on this car and once the 5000 mile check up was due i find out that the lease does not cover this. I have never leased a car and the maintnance not be included. Then the brakes are bad at 20,000, not covered. Rear brake light, not covered. Make sure you understand the lease does not cover MUCH!

Weaknesses: -There really are none that I can think of, this car is fantastic.
Summary: I love my new Volkswagen Touareg. It's the epiphany of European luxury auto. It's smooth sleek design is very 2007. Really comfortable, great features.I love the way it drives too, it's very smooth. It's definitely a uni-sex kind of car. Before I got it, I was wondering what car I wanted. I new I wanted a European car and I also wanted an SUV. One of my friends suggested the Audi Q7 while another friend suggested the BMW X5. My husband thensuggested the Volkswagen Touareg. I was really confused as to what I should get, so I compared the three. I found the BMW's body a bit to roungh and jaggered compared to the Touareg's beautiful smooth rounded design. So I crossed the BMW off. I then looked at the Audi and found the interior wasn't very luxury-like. It was all black and there was no wood furnishing. So I found that I didn't feel like I was sitting in a luxury car, but more like a Mitsubishi. So I realised that the Touareg was the right way to go, it was perfect for me and it met all my criteria. I'm very happy with my Touareg, hopefully you will read this and see just how great Volkswagen's Touareg is.

Summary: We procured this vehicle because of its great looks. From the onset the fuel economy was way below the marketed and expected level despite our easy touch to the pedals (gas & brake). At 14,000 miles the service informed us that tires and brake pads need to be replaced within next 2000 to 4000 miles meaning required component replacement at less than half the total miles expected based on our driving experience from previously owned 4WD and AWD SUV's. The wear on tires / brake components and the low fuel economy points to a problem in the power/drive train mechanization. This performance is not acceptable and VW should recall this vehicle.

from Brookline VW
Year / Model Reviewed: 2006 V8
Strengths: handling, acceleration, appearance, sound system, safety, 4 motion, I love everything.
Weaknesses: nothing comes to mind...Except maybe a lot of beeping with the parking sensors...but ahh you can shut them off!
Summary: I have been reading about many problems with the Toureg, specifically, the 2004 model. I recently bought the 2006 V8 with just about every option possible and I must say that I have never driven such an amazing car. Its quiet and super fast, luxurious but rugged. ALso, the sound system in the 2006 must have also been greatly imporved because mine is amazing.
