I have a 2008 3.0L TDi first registered Oct 09 - done 40k. Tyres completely gone at 35k, all brakes had to be replaced at 38k. Now we have a coolant leak (fairly major repair but under warranty) - read up on some of the forums only to discover 120k service could cost $15k !!
Therfore the pleasure of owning the vehicle is now completely overshadowed by the fear of massive repair and maintenance costs. Rolls Royces would cost no more than these sorts of bills.
Little point in owning one of th... Read more

I've been driving this car sporadically for 2 years. Every time I get back in the driver's seat I'm a happier man. Truly. It's a very responsive vehicle engine wise, and the handling is suprisingly nimble and precise for such a big car.

It's evident a lot of time has been put into thinking of all the little ways to make this car a joy to be in and drive. From simple things like oversized side mirrors (we're talking I can see what someone's eating in the car behind me) to technical element... Read more

As I have heard others say, this is a monster of a vehicle. It performs brilliantly.
I researched and tested other vehicles in the class and am sure I made the right choice with the Touareg.
The process from order to delivery was professionally handled - well done Gerald Slaven, Belconnen.

The Touareg V10 is a great touring vehicle with excellent power and fuel economy. I would recommend it for anyone who travels a lot, but would keep it for the highway where it excels and use a town car for the city. You will pay for what you get wrt maintenance costs - servicing and tyres are expensive, but after experiencing this car on a trip, it's worth every cent.

I recently road tested an r50 model back to back with the Range Rover sport for a photo shoot the R50 was better in every way. When you compared just simple things like wire loom security the VW should it was a "next level" vehicle. The handling thru wet mountain roads thru the back of Kyogle was without fault and the car definetely is more capable then the average driver. Off road the only thing that let it down was it's tyres, other then that it could keep with the Range Rover all day.

+ Fantastic fit and finish, I found the trim to be of exceptional quality and the panel fit to be w... Read more

- Servicing costs very high, questions about the longevity of the transmission. Tyres not suited to Australian conditions (wore out in 25,000km)

This vehicle is as strong as any 4wd I have driven. It is a serious 4wd if you get the suspension clearance option. The comfort is beyond my expectations with the longest trek of 1060kms pulling a caravan being easy on my normally crook back. The fuel economy allows for long distance driving between service stations. I can't speak highly enough of it. A european car owner for last 10 years, this is the best!!!
