Great car
This is an awesome luxury SUV. It drives very well, great steering, handling and accelaration. It is a nice solid big car but doesn't feel big at all to drive. The interior is very luxurious, especially for the price. I haven't gone off road but it seems properly equipped to manage most terrain.

External windows trims faded
Good things:
The car are solid and handing excellent.
Bad things:
after two months we notice the rear window trim start to fade on both side.
we brought it back to Volkswagen dealers, they said we using abrasive product. so warranty won't cover for it.
now all around the other trim start to fade too. showing bare plastic.
poor quality trim.

Great quality vehicle
The first thing I noticed was how quiet the car was, there is a feeling of the Touareg being strong and very powerful yet with minimal noise inside from the 3 liter diesel. The interior is very comfortable and well laid out, the only thing we found was it takes time to get used to the indicators and wiper controls are switched around compared to most other cars. Fuel economy is excellent, our first tank full (85ltrs) got us approx 1000kms, with a mixture of highway and city driving. It will also take time to get used to the stop/start feature, ...Read more
that being when stopped the engine switches off and start up when you release the brake, but this can be turned off. Overall I am very happy with the car and am yet to use it for towing our van. The 3.5 ton ability is another reason to consider the Touareg.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Comfort, Drive, Practical
I spent a long time researching and test driving cars before selecting this one. My major requirements was to have a large comfortable interior size for family touring yet still be small enough for city driving and parking. Other options were Mercedes GLC which had better tech but was smaller, Q5 smaller, Volvo xc60 smaller, X3 smaller and expensive when optioned, X5 was nice and good size but more money than budgeted, Kluger ticked boxes but did not handle or drive as well as the others.
Positives: Quality build and soft touch surfaces all...Read more
well laid out. Instrument cluster and dials look great. All the interior and exterior lighting is great and the newly designed DRL's are one of the sexiest on the road. For me the seats are probably the most comfortable I've tested right up there next to Volvo's. Kids will like the back seats as they have vents and good visibility out the windows. It has a great turing circle and drives and handles tight and precisely. When pushed it's exciting to drive and you can almost feel it's shared Porche Cayenne DNA. Boot space is large and easily swallows prams, ikea boxes etc Negatives: The central RNS 850 computer infotainment system is good but a step down in tech compared to whats in some of the more newly designed volkswagens. The stereo system sound is above average but not exceptional and VW Australia doesn't offer the Dynaudio upgrade that other countries get. Whats I find bizarre and a little frustrating is that VW doesn't subscribe to live traffic updates in australia and they don't support DAB+ radio which for 2016 is odd when you can get that tech in many cheaper japanese cars.Similar opinion?

Can you fit HR anti sway system to the Touareg?
Thanks

Hi Geoff,
I assume the 150 Touareg has not got air suspension. I had weight distribution bars and anti sway on my previous 2009 Touareg which did not have air suspension and it worked well. Volkswagen don’t recommend it for air suspension models. Cheers Ian
Unfortunately it does have air suspension, the anti sway system has provided very efficient on 3 occasions and I would be reluctant to tow a van without one. Thanks for your answer
