2009 Volkswagen Touareg 2 User Reviews

Pros

Outstanding comfort and a feeling of luxury all around

Cons

Firm Handling quality and a slightly heavy feel

Purchased As New

This is my second Touareg and it is one of the finest vehicles I have owned.It sophisticated looks disguise its true all terrain capability and the build quality is exceptional both inside and out. Quality plastics, real wood and metal veneers, well thought out and executed electronic displays and controls, it gives you all. There are many upgrade options and you pay to add only the features you really want....read morehide

Pros

Heavy and safest Ride. Great feature.

Cons

Fuel economy is not so good.

Purchased As Used

I just love my SUV. Right now this car is on number 4 in best top 10 luxury SUV, which made me proud to be an owner of this SUV. Fuel economy is bad. I get at best 360-370miles depending on the way of your driving. The features are amazing. The interior color combination are awesome, especially the chocolate color dashboard and the beige color leather seat. This car has sensor front/back which is cool. It has xenon light which turns left or right. Has lot more things to tell ya. May be some other time....read morehide

Pros

Stylish, great turning radius, handles like a car!

Cons

Backing sensors not sensitive enough

Purchased As New

Bought model year 2007 for a new Mom and Baby. Has a lot of capacity for the all "kid stuff". Handles like a car, great turning radius. No issues with electrical. Works well for myself and my husband, interior space accomodates both of us. Love the inside, very stylish.

Pros

safest vehicke I have ever owned

Cons

factory tires wore out in one year

By far the best vehicke I have ever owned, never had any problem in the worst snow, ice, rain. Love it, will definitely but another

Pros

very good in snow and off-road, can tow my 1.5 ton boat, good front seats

Cons

electrical nightmare, vague steering, horrible brakes, transmission needs a brain, gas guzzler

I first looked at the V6 TDI diesel but decided against it since gas prices have fallen so much the premium to pay for the TDI will take 5 years to break even. Also, diesel fuel costs about $1 more per gallon where I live so it makes little sense.

The V8 was overpriced and honestly, after reading that so many car magazines were averaging 10 MPG I decided against that and took the V6 instead. I has decent power, just enough to tow my 1.5 ton boat. The savings over the V8 are seen. I average about 14 MPG around town and 17 on the highway. Of course that is without the boat behind.

I took my son in the snow off road and have to say this is a great off roader especially with the snow tire package and 17' type 1S rims.

The grim side is the electrical problems I have been encountering. The dash lighting randomly comes on as do the climate controls back lighting. The power seats have a mind of their own and the auto dimming mirrors don't work at all, not from day one. I am glad I did not get the navigation system; its expensive and unnecessary. My $250 Garmin is great and portable.

The steering is vague and too light for good feel on road. The worst thing has to be the brakes which needed new rotors and have wobbled so violently they are just outright dangerous. The transmission is said to have a smart learning curve which remembers how you drive. They obviously forgot to put one in this tranny. If often shifts when you least expect it and at the worst times when you need more power. It may be me but it also feels like it may be slipping. All said and done I am not a very happy customer and would have chosen another vehicle if I would have known....read morehide

Pros

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

Cons

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....read morehide

Pros

great ride and interior is great and all the options that it came with

Cons

the fuel economy not so good but so far that is about all.

I have a 2005 touareg and with very few options. The vehicle came standard with alot of things that other car manufactures charge you
for. My only complaint is the fuel economy, other wise this has great
power for it size and weight. Also I like the all wheel 4 wheel drive that some others only come with all wheel drive. I really enjoy my
Touareg. I had it since 2005.

Thank you...read morehide
