Volkswagen Touareg (2010 - 2018) 4.2 V8 TDI Altitude 5d Tip Auto (2012/61) Owner Review

That it serves it purpose - to get me from a to b on akward surfaces.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are apathetic because They're not great lovers of cars.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another 4x4 definitely.

Yes

What price did you pay?

£58,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I paid in cash, on the spot. I paid over £50,000 because of numerous luxurious specifications that I added. Bigger wheels, engine size, sat-nav, leather interior etc. I spent big because I wanted comfort. Otherwise the range started from £39,000.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Gas guzzling 4x4 Was essential for me as Iive in the middle of nowhere & there are plenty of muddy & off road surfaces! Also I wanted to add a German manufactured to my fleet. I didn't want to appear elitest with a Range Rover or one of Audi's Q range or BMW's X Range.

What was the dealer like?

She showed herself off a bit first before getting on to the motor!

What's it like to drive?

Depends on your driving style but as with any 4x4 it needs a firm grip on the steering wheel.

What's it like to park?

Plenty of space round the village, even for a vehicle of this size. I can imagine it would be a tight squeeze in the city though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Absolutely nothing. Mind you I walk or cycle most places I go, I only bought this because family live at the other end of the country & I visit them monthly so own vehicle was required.

What's most practical about your car?

Country roads, not to say it isn't suited in urban areas but it would just be surplus.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Parking sensors.
