2014 Volkswagen Touareg consumer reviews

This car brings me joy - pure, joy. It's thought of things I didn't even know possible and it doesn't do it in an overly luxurious / pompous way; though it certainly is luxurious, and in the most pragmatic way... I love its handling, styling, feeling of performance/safety/reliabilty...I had to write this - and I've never reviewed anything before in my life.

This car has plenty of leg room and height. Very nice ride, quiet and great on gas, fuel tank has 550 miles per tank!! Great MPG at average of 22-26

This car is perfect for any lifestyle, drives great, and has new wheels and brakes. I have been the only owner of this car and I bought it in 2014 and all miles on the car are highway miles as well.

The good so far. I just bought it and much and this car. It is driving well and the consumption level is good. I love it so far.

This car has everything I'll ever need. Plenty of leg room, fold down seats and lots of storage space. Good gas mileage and comfortable ride.

We all know that a Swiss Army Knife does many things in an *okay* manner. Knife? There but not too sharp, not too strong. Scissors? Got ‘em. But don’t ask me to actually cut anything more than a very thin string. If I can use the tiny things at all. Saw? It’s there, but please, please don’t tell me it’s gonna help me cut through the tree across my bike path. That’s kind of what I expected in switching from a top-of the line GMC Sierra Pickup to a Touareg. I expected lots of compromise. Boy oh boy was I wrong. A year ago I switched careers away from a 25 year career in single family home building. I have had pickups since I was 20. I never imagined not owning a pickup. But my new career is all corporate - Vancouver appointments, urban parking lots, no hauling anything other than my MacBook. But I still have a 5500 lb travel trailer. My family goes skiing and hiking dozens of times a year. I live on a mountain where the road doesn’t get plowed near soon enough or often enough in winter. I have a utility trailer for my yard work and landscaping needs. What to buy? I like new vehicles, rarely buy used. Test drove a Telluride, Atlas. Nice vehicles, but not enough towing capability. Audi Q7 - very nice, but I have a Porsche Macan S, and I love Porsche interiors and VW interiors, but Audi interior design language doesn’t do it for me. Then my friend started telling me how he tows his big Airstream with a TDI VW Touareg. And how it’s his and his wife’s favourite vehicle ever. Then I read how they are manufactured in Europe, and share a bunch of design with the Cayenne. Then I looked. Last TDIs sold in Canada are a few years old because of dieselgate. Bummer. But then I started looking and found an impeccable black ‘14 TDI R-line Executive. Only 70,000 Kms. I drove it. It is amazing!!! No, it’s not my Macan, but in Sport mode, it belies it’s size. So I bought this beauty last August. It is by far the best skiing, forest road hiking, versatile vehicle I have ever owned. It even tows my big travel trailer with no sweat! Up and down hills, amazing! TDI has the turbo dialed just right so there is always power available and fuel economy is amazing if you want it to be. It’s the Swiss Army knife with no compromise. Also, the interior quality is very high for a non-luxury brand It’s so enjoyable to drive day in and out, does so many things so well, that I am selling my Macan, and can now go for a less practical small sporty car like a Golf R for our second vehicle. The only reason I gave 4/5 for reliability is because I had the Check Engine light come on for the Diesel Particulate Filter, and has to take it in. This is under warranty for pretty much forever though, as all VW diesel emissions systems have been reconditioned due to dieselgate. Everything else is running perfectly, especially for a 7 year old vehicle.

This car has plenty of room, I'm 5'9" and it's more suited for 5'10" and up. Towing capacity is amazing! 7700 lbs. Panoramic sunroof, power everything, A/C, sound system, leather, etc.

I’m a truck guy all my driving life, particularly diesel. Still own an ‘86 Chevy 6.2L “Detroit” diesel going 300K mi strong. Have owned every domestic (USA) make/model truck and even Toyota & Nissan, but finally gave up on a Domestic modest sized diesel vehicle. VW diesel technology has always impressed, so in 2011 I finally took the plunge on a 2011 Touareg TDI Sport. Drove it 90K mi and traded it in for a 2014 R Line TDI Sport before moving across the country. I’ve never owned such a beast of a truck that was so much fun—and drove like a sportscar. I’ve got 118K mi on my ‘14, and while I’m working out some bugs caused by “the fix,” I’ll drive ‘er until it makes no sense to anymore, as hands down—it’s the toughest beast of a truck that is so much fun to drive. Makes the NY-TX run —-a breeze.

This is a vehicle you drive and take the long way home as it is so much fun driving it. It is fast of the line, and smooth as can be. We love the drive and how easy it is to turn around with its tight turns. AMAZING.

I have a TDI lux model and love the performance. This is a very tight suv and is very responsive. Excellent fuel mileage! Easy to handle and impressive in snow!
