Strength:

Lylia is a mixture of a tank and a mage. I usually play her in the jungle because her gank potential is really high especially in the early stages of the game. She can also easily duel most of the meta junglers in the current ranked ladder. This makes her an ideal pick in both high and low elo matches. She is pretty easy to use and you don’t need a very high skill ceiling to play her at a top level even in among us pc elo where even the slightest among us download on pc for free would ruin an entire game.

Weakness:

I love to drive!

When I decided that it was time to trade in my '98 Tahoe, I didn't want to compromise on space. My husband suggested the BMW X5 but I wasn't sure what I wanted. I have driven the X5 but when I sat in the Touareg and my body melted in the seat. I test drove it one block and knew I was in love!!!

Looks good. Performs well.

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!

Strength:

fun, handling, mileage.

Weakness:

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.

Model Reviewed: VR6 FSI

Strength:

Nice SUV, good size, good power, good interior,

Weakness:

outdated controls, and no blue tooth, milage can be inproved, price a bit high

The truck is very capable, it handles great for an SUV, the trim is well done, the tire size was chosen well for City and Hwy. The value of the truck would be good if it was priced right $35K to be exact. The towing capacity is good, looked at many other SUVs and the tahoe was the closest SUV that gives the similar comfort and feel of quality.

The only strength of this car is that it will never fail......to disappoint you

Weakness:

Refer to Product review

Will never own another VW because of this vehicle. Numerous problems: TPS never goes off, every surface on the interior is covered with a thin layer of rubber that when scratched immediately peels off (ie. gear shifter, door handles, radio buttons, etc.) brand new battery and alternator installed and the batter (which is located under the seat)dies once a week. Both headlights have gone out, tires wear out very quickly, GPS is a joke and updates cost more than a new GPS system costs. Side trim located at the base of the drivers door was not properly designed and comes loose all the time. HORRIBLE gas mileage for the size of the vehicle. The rear hatch can only be opened when you use the keyless entry button so if the batter goes dead or loose the remote you cannot open the rear hatch anymore. Not to mention VW mechanics find it necessary to charge more than corporate attorneys charge per hour to fix these problems. Jeff Sikes in Huntsville quoted me $850.00 to change one (1) head light bulb and charge the AC. The headlight cost me $7.00 at O'Rielly Auto parts and took less than 15 minutes to put in, and I took the vehicle to a local oil change place and they only charged me $90.00 to charge the AC($753.00) difference. Also a coin fell into the gear shifter and jammed it up and broke a piece off of the plastic controlling the trip tronic shifter. When taken to VW (Jeff Sikes) they wanted to sell me the whole shifter compnonet for around 900 bucks when the only part i needed was $120.00 (a little circuit board) they then wanted to charge $500.00 for labor. I then looked the problem up online and found a step by step do it yourself guide, printed it off and gave it to my local mechanic who did it for $60.00 (took him only 45 min to complete). My family has had VW's and they will never own one due to the vast amount of electrical problems they and I have endured as well as ridiculous VW technician charges. Dealers charge way to much for tasks that can be researched and done by any competant "shade tree" mechanic or local wal mart oil change tech.

Strength:

All in all...AWESOME luxury-performance SUV. Comfortable with elegant. The handling is incredible. We also enjoy the Comfort/Sport/Auto air suspension. The feeling of being in a heavy and safe vehicle.

Weakness:

Drawbacks...Correct, expect 18K-20K max for brakes, Conti's 4x4 sports tires and $120 oil changes every 5K miles. 12 MPG city and 18MPG (max) for HWY. Not for those on tight budget or wish not to spend $$$$ on tires, brakes gas and oil changes.

We do love this car.. We have owned her for well over 4 1/2 years now (purchased in Sept 2003). Since we had the very first 2004 model year we have been very patient (many recalls to work out the bugs) I think many others would have or did give up on this car. We ABSOLUTELY love the ride, looks, and performance.

Strength:

-Sleek, smooth body.
-Luxury, leather interior with wood furnishing.
-Fairly priced.
-Smooth drive
-Good all-round car.

Weakness:

-There really are none that I can think of, this car is fantastic.

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.

Strength:

Nice looking car, great interior, good in the snow. Tight ride.

Weakness:

After 2.5 years, and 18,000 city miles, I have had the pleasure of:
Replacing the windshield wiper blades at $70 (special ones as required)
2 or 3 oil changes at $120 each (special ones as required)
Replacing the tires at $600
Replacing the front break pads and rotors! for $770 (need to sell it before the rear requires more brakes)
Filling it with Premium Gas! (special kind as required)

In short, the Touareg is a great SUV and has high maintenance costs.

I had a Jetta for 4 years, replaced the tires, changed the oil and filled it up with gas.

I expected the same from the Touareg, and have had a much different experience. After 2.5 years, and 18,000 city miles, I have had the pleasure of:
Replacing the windshield wiper blades at $70 (special ones as required)
2 or 3 oil changes at $120 each (special ones as required)
Replacing the tires at $600
Replacing the front break pads and rotors! for $770 (need to sell it before the rear requires more brakes)
Filling it with Premium Gas! (special kind as required)

The dealership nor Volkswagen would cover the brake pads under warranty. This car is equipped with performance Brembo brakes, weighs 6,000 pounds and has special European pads and rotors that are designed to wear out at the same time. Problem is, the V6 is no Performance vehicle.

The Touareg rides great, has a nice interior, is great in the snow and supposedly great offroad...but the maintenance cost is killing me. We are selling it and will not get another one. Although,, I would like to own the V10 Turbo or the Porsche Cayenne, but I would also like to win the lotto. I will probably buy another slow V6 SUV that does not require premium gas or special parts, and does not have “performance” breaks
