I purchased a 2012 Volkswagen touareg in January of this year (2020) and I love it! We chose the lux edition which includes a sun/moonroof, leather interior w/heated seats, and four wheel drive. I live in an area where we get a lot of snow, and this car rides like a beast! Half a foot of snow? No problem. I felt completely safe driving through winter storms know my vehicle had the weight and ability to keep me on the road. It is a diesel SUV, but the mileage is very doable! I would highly recommend this vehicle for a starter family rig! The back seats can fold down for extra space for trips or simply hauling something you've purchased. The only thing I can think of that I’d want to add to this vehicle to make it better would be remote start for the winter months!

VW touareg greatest used car ever.
2012 VW tdi has gobs of power, amazing gas mileage, and drives like a Porsche. Quiet interior, great touchscreen navigation and sound system. This was part of the dieselgate scandal so VW bought them from the previous owner and had to convert the emission items that were tricking smog checks. Because of this they offer a near bumper to bumper warranty for 4 years on a used car. Pretty awesome deal.

Highly recommend. Great everyday vehicle or long distance driver.
I love the size and dependability of it. Its spacious and very comfortable for long trips. I wish it took regular gas however. That's the only downside.

It has good gas mileage and runs great.
The car is very stable. The cars interior space is huge. The car does not look big from the outside.

Great car! Luxurious yet sporty.
I really like this vehicle. It is quite luxurious and comfortable. It is sporty looking and feeling yet has class and style as well. I have not had any problems with it mechanically. The paint seems to scratch easily. I'm not sure if that is normal for paint these days. It is a dark gray color.

Best vehicle for winter driving.
The Volkswagen touareg is a strong well made car. It drives like a car but can perform like a truck. I ski and have been in snow storms in Vermont and the car barely will ever even slide. It is comfortable and spacious enough for me without moving up to a more expensive vehicle. I have really never had any mechanical problems with it.

Comfortable and spacious!
The performance of the 2012 Volkswagen touareg is exceptional. The adjustable seating ensure that long distance driving will not be uncomfortable, in addition to the seat heaters which help a lot during winter. The car has spacious back seating with ample trunk space which makes sure that when you are going out on trips, you can take your friends with you and still have ample space to bring crucial equipment.

I love the Tuareg but the maintainer is expensive.
The maintenance is very expensive. Car rides well. I love the look of the car. It is very spacious and perfect for traveling with pets. Plenty of room. Fold down seats. Love having Bluetooth in the car. Great gas mileage. It has very comfortable seating. Love the style.

The utilitarian vehicle you need.
The Volkswagen touareg is an amazingly powerful and utilitarian vehicle. With the tdi-lux it is nothing but comfort with leather interior, panoramic sunroof, climate control, Bluetooth, auxiliary input, and the 19” wheels for perfect control. The large 24 gallon tank let’s you travel far and wide!

Great vehicle. Would purchase again.
The touareg is a fantastic vehicle. I started out looking at equinoxes and wound up with a touareg. Extremely satisfied with the towing capacity, the options that were in the package I purchased, as well as the fuel mileage on the freeway. Just averaged 28 mpg (when not going over 77mph).

Great value for the dollar. Wish it had more power.
Since the emissions fix, the car stutters sometimes under acceleration. This can also affect its ability to do a rolling stop and go in traffic, which had the transmission drop a gear and accelerate very harshly. However, the features of the vehicles are fantastic for the value these are going for nowadays.

Unreliable
This is by far the worst car I have ever owned. I owned many other manufacturer cars but this was my first Volkswagen. It will be my last. In and out of the shop at least once a month for various problems. PS you best hope the flex pipe doesn't break unless your pockets are deep.

Great model and great year.
Other than the recalls on the vehicle it runs really well. It is a heavy car that has a bit of a luxury feel to it. Leather seats are high quality and extremely comfortable for road trips. The car drives smooth and is mostly quiet on the highways. It has a small turbo lag but that is quiet normal for its size and power.

I love its sensors, they have saved me several times from crashing into objects.
Unlike many modern cars, in this vehicle one must push the accelerator pedal a little more in order to move in any way. After having the car for several years, the upper window is delicate. In other words, if opened it can never be properly closed again and trying to get it fixed costs quite a lot of money.

My very beautiful VW Touareg.
I love my 2012 VW Touareg. It is beautiful, on the inside and on the outside, and it rides like a dream. It is very high tech, and I love the back-up camera and beautiful leather interior.

Its silver and is a European car.
Drives great, cost alot for oil changes. Silver color with stock rims and tires. Base model with navigation system. Has lasted for 8 years and rarely have had any major problems with the vehicle. I find myself driving it often to work and other places due to the great gas mileage.

Excellent comfort and safety.
The comfort of this vehicle is outstanding. I have never had any problems except typical maintenance upkeep. The car is not the best of gas mileage. This vehicle feels heavy when driving, but that adds some reassuring comfort when driving. I feel safe up front, as well as I don't fear for my child in the back seat. There is plenty of room for passengers as well as storage. The seats fold over very easy to extend storage in the rear. The interior is leather which has split over time, but that is expected with normal wear and tear. Any mechanical issues that have needed to be taken care of have been more pricey because it is a German car. Even with all of that, the safety and comfort of this vehicle outweighs any negative comments said about this vehicle.

Good choice for household of 4.
Comfortable and very stable on different road situation. The car is good for a household of four and will be very comfortable for a household of couple. . Not a good choice if you do not have a garage or parking place bc this one is little too big for roadside parking.

The car feels heavy and safe like a tank.
I like the car and how it rides but wish the technology was a little more up to date. I have had to replace the blower for the heater and the water pump only at 65,000 which kind of frustrated me. The seats are comfortable but the leather is tearing on one of the armrests,

Beautiful touareg tdi exec.
Love my tdi engine. Very powerful. Decent fuel economy. Beautiful leather interior. Large cargo area - big enough for two adult great danes. There are only a few negatives: Does not have navigation or a backup camera, and I Does not include a tow package, which I need.

Low maintenance and high mileage.
Diesel vehicle which allows me to drive for eight to nine days without refilling. Reliable and low maintenance. Very spacious inside sitting comfortably five people. Drawback is that there is not too much space in the back to put a large grocery purchase.
