One of the most important things others should know about my car is that it is reliable and sturdy.
It is cute. It is peppy. It has bluetooth. It has a leather interior.

This is the best car that I have ever own!
I have never had any problems with this car. I love driving it everyday!! The sport package is very handy when it comes to driving in the snow. I always use the four by four option! I definitely recommend this brand of car to anyone. The color options for the exterior and the interior are great!

The cruise control. The ability to lower your speed if you get too close to car.
I like the seats. No complaints about the car. The touch screen is big enough to see. Love the option to open the trunk by using my foot.

VW Touareg - most bang for your buck!
The tires wear out quickly but they say it's due to the weight of the vehicle. Other than that, it's very safe and very reliable.

The SUV to be obsessed with.
I find excuses to drive my SUV, it is safe, comfortable and fun to drive. I do not worry about my family’s safety when we are in my touareg. One of my favorite features is the panoramic sunroof. It makes the back seat feel so open and airy. My trim has the auto windshield wipers that makes driving through storms or sprinklers safer.

Get into the groove with the new Volkswagen Touareg!
I really love this car. It's very spacious and has room for my entire family and all of our pets. Thus far I haven't had any issues with this car. The interior is really stunning and I am particularly impressed with its excellent navigation system. I am a music lover and I am particularly impressed with the factory found system. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to my friends and family.

I love the size and functionality of this car. Satisfies all my needs.
It is pretty awesome. Fits all my groceries, is easy to drive and park despite it being a larger SUV. It lacks a bit of get up and go but it is good enough for everyday driving. Seems to be well built and fairly reliable but I have spent quite a bit of money on maintenance as brakes and tires are hefty in cost to replace. Pretty much love it! I feel very safe in it which is ultimately why I got it.

VW Tourag review - needs better gas mileage
Horrible gas mileage...I'd love to have this vehicle in a diesel! The features of the car are great. It's comfortable and has great navigation and safety options.

Volkswagen touareg great features.
Love the ground clearance, decent size car except when you have a rear facing car seat, than the passenger front seat is really far forward/ crowded. I really like the headlights, they are super bright. The automatic rain sensor wipers are very handy.
