Volkswagen Touareg

Was contemplating an Audi Q8 but the price was a huge turn off. However, I got to know about the VW Touareg from a friend and decided to own a used one. The car drives completely like the Audi Q8 at a fraction of the price, yet it comes with more options and best of all, have the same ARF.

Pick up is smooth and fast, thanks to the ZF auto trans. The air suspension is very comfortable, and excellent over long distances. So far, my Touareg has been trouble-free and solid, just like my Tiguan. I expect many years of reliable performance from this luxury barge... Read More
