I hope this comment will help whoever is still undecided about buying. I have always get Toyotas before, however after the problem with the diesel this car became affordable because the dealers were more prone to reduce the price after their inventories were getting bigger. I belive I got an excellent price and the good thing is that VW is not flooding the market with new models and styles like chevrolet does, reason for what the prices stay good and the cars keep the value. I needed a car capable of some offroad but with the versatility of a sport one. This car is built on the same platform as a porche but the price is definitely better. I had the car to replace a Toyota 4 Runner and boy, the change has been marvelous. The thing I like the most is the maneuvering, the car at high speed is incredible and because is AWD the stability is fantastic. The second thing I love is the classic design, I dislike curvy cars, like Hondas, will never had one. This car is so strong, that one day the car literally was on only 3 wheels because the terrain that when I opened the lateral doors and close them they just close with the precesion I have only seen on body on frame trucks. It is very strong built, just see the division frame bar between the anterior and posterior doors. It is massive. The only things I dislike is that the insulation from the road is not perfect. Because the performance tires and big rims the road sound is very perceptible. One thing that they should have done is a small freezer in the middle compartment between frotal chairs like only Toyota Land Cruiser, Mercedes and Rolls have. It is a lost space, still big enough for many items. The postsale service is awesome and I was contacted by the VW offices in Germany to be sure I was satisfied with the car. I am waiting for the diesels to be available again and will get one. I did a lot of research before buying this Touareg and belive me fellow readers that this was a very calculated decision that I am happy with.
