2007 Volkswagen Touareg reviews

Volkswagen Touareg SE Auto 2007

The Touareg replaced a 5 year old Nissan Patrol that I loved. I was worried that I would miss the Patrol but after a few days I had been completely converted. The Touareg was better in every way, quicker, more comfortable, much better road holding and more like a big sports car than an off road 4x4. If you get the chance do a VW Touareg off road and race track day as the abilities of this car will amaze you. The VW dealer in Guildford, Colbournes, are excellent and not just for Touaregs. It only has one disadvantage and that is the incredible road holding does come at the price of tyre wear but what price your neck? The Patrol would be off the road on every tight bend that the Touareg does not even notice but the Patrol tyres lasted for 23k miles and I have had 2 sets of tyres in 23k miles in the VW. Buy the maintenace and tyre package, I did. A great car, a pity that the current model has stopped production and the new one is not due until the Autumn. Not sure what I will do when my one goes back in July. I may buy this one at the end of the 3 years PCP or very possibly a Suzuki Grand Vitara. A difficult choice.
