What do you think about the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg VR6?
My mom has one and I just wonder what people's opinions are about them.

Great truck- just to help you out, it is NOT the most polluting vehicle going. Also its a V6 not the narrow angle VR6. If the previous posters would READ, they would find that the V-10 TDi is one of the most polluting vehicles. High quality build, considering its built right next to the Audi Q7 and...

Any known issues with VW 2008 Touareg (V8 FSI engine)?
I believe I may have a faulty transmission. I only have 11,887 miles on it and already I've taken it to the dealership about 5 times and I keep having the same issue. There are times that when I step on the gas, the car feels and sounds like it wants to charge but takes off really slow. The only way to get it to stop is by shutting it off and...

Why should I also consider these? X

The Touareg is one of the best SUVs its size for off-roading or towing, but if most of your needs involve passenger-hauling, you’d be better off with most of the alternatives in its size and price range.

The Acura MDX and Lexus RX feel roomier inside and handle well, though their appointments might not feel quite as exclusive.

The Mercedes-Benz M-Class has a more spacious, more passenger-friendly interior, while the Q7, which is related to the Touareg, has an especially beautiful interior and is tuned for road duty rather than serious off-roading, resulting in a better ride and crisper handling.

The X5 and MDX are the best choices of this group for those who want an SUV that feels frisky and agile; the result of juggling the roles of tow vehicle, off-road crawler, and luxurious family conveyance, the 2008 Volkswagen Touareg feels surprisingly heavy and cumbersome in day-to-day driving.

Finally, there’s the Touareg’s less-than-stellar reputation for reliability.
