    I’ve done 8000 miles in my new Touareg with pretty much this spec. Very happy with it. Family of 5. All very comfortable and safe. I had 2 Audis before this and I don’t notice a drop in quality. Feels the same to drive. Brilliant V6 TDI 286hp engine.

  • @hankwill9902
    @hankwill9902 5 років тому +6

    Just a tip: with all modern VW cars that have the wipers under the hood, you can have them go into their “service position” (blades upright) by flicking the windshield wiper stock up. It saves time and is a little bit of an Easter egg!
    I believe VW puts the wipers under the hood for looks and the ability to not freeze too much when driving in snowy/icy conditions.

VW TOUAREG IS NOT AN AUDI NOR THE BMW, it is a car of its own, you can compare it to the BMW X5 or Audi Q7, but those cars are a quiet bit more expensive than TOUAREG, this is a huge upgrade for VW, if you don't like it don't speak wrong and nasty about it, it is definetly eligible for its price and quiet handsome I may say, that's all from me, keep the good work CarWow.. but you were clearly a bit not happy while making this video Matt ....

  • @therambler3713

    its supposed to be a budget version of a X5 or Q7, not a direct competitor.

    • @UhOhUmm
      @UhOhUmm 6 років тому +89

      Budget? It has basically the same starting price as a q7, within margin of error. Touareg starts from 57K, Q7 from 64K. The only thing it has going for it are the cheaper options. So it's not budget, it's just a tiny bit cheaper.

      The Touareg was never meant to be a budget version of the Q7. The original Touareg was even released years before the Q7 was a thing. They even had a W12 Touareg at some point!
      Along with the Phaeton, VW wanted the Touareg to give the brand a premium image and place it above other European and Asian mainstream brands.

    I sat in a full spec Tourag when I took my car for servicing, also the Q7 (medium spec) as Audi was next door. The Q7 interior feels so much more plush - that feeling of shutting the door and being cut off from the world. And I know you rarely touch the cheap plastics, but you DO sometimes and it makes a difference in the Q7 which just feels posh. Can't remember the prices but I think, if you have the money, the Q7 is worth it. But the Tourag is still the next best thing IMO

    Hey Mat
    Your videos are absolutely amazing. Your humor is great and the bandwidth of the videos (from cheap to outrageously expensive) is great.
    What I would still find cool, especially with the more expensive cars, is a night shot. Both from the outside (headlights and such), but also from the inside. For example, the new Volkswagen Touarg from the inside with ambient lighting looks breathtaking. Surely many of your followers would like to see this as well.
    Just such an idea ! Keep up the good work

    Just ordered a Black Edition and looked at the Q7. I don't need 7 seats and I am not a badge snob... so the Tuareg is great for what I need. Had the SEL MK3 for 2 years now. I wanted the innovation cockpit but to be frank the standard one is absolutely fine.

      Brian If you didn't include "good looking" but said the rest then maybe I would have considered buying the Touareg again, but because you said its steering wheel is good looking I will not believe the rest of what you have said. So I guess I still won't buy the car just because of the fucking 10 year old steering wheel.

    • @chelseafc8126
      @chelseafc8126 5 років тому

      @@Brian-jv8iy Well maybe because I want to be convinced to buy it since I LOVE the car but absolutely despise the steering wheel design, hence when you said it is sturdy comfortable etc meaning it functions better than other steering wheels despite not looking better then I would've reconsidered buying the car again since it is like a "give and take" type of thing where I'm sacrificing design for comfort. But since you believed it looks good then I thought meh if this guy thinks the steering wheel looks good then the steering wheel is probably not comfortable. You should get what I'm trying to say by now...
      Oh and it has a gas/petrol engine... And the hybrid probably came out and if not yet then will come out but in China LOL, you can always order one from overseas but it'd take 3 months to arrive so if it is not urgent I would order from overseas you can see it as an advantage that it's not available in North America, you will be the only one with the car in a 1000 mile radius or something that's pretty fucking rad.
      Oh and I think we can all agree that BMW 7 Series' (and all BMWs in general) steering wheel is the worst out of all competitors, but nothing worse than the Touareg! I think Lexus designs the best steering wheels, every steering wheel they designed from 2015 onwards has been pretty sick.

Actually I've been using my wheel in my new '19 Touareg for several weeks and it's a dream to use. Practical, functional, and great feel of quality. I don't give a rats if other VWs have a generically similar wheel, this one's a winner! In fact lesser model' s wheels don't have the same quality of finish or materials.
