2006 Volkswagen Touareg Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewWhile upgraded engines are on their way, they arrived too late for the 2006 model year, so the Volkswagen Touareg SUV was once again available with two engine options -- a 3.2-liter, 240-hp V6 and a 4.2-liter, 310-hp V8 engine, which is the same 4.2-liter used by Audi for its A8 and A6. Both engines are coupled with a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission that gives drivers the ability to shift manually.
The long list of standard features in the Touareg includes a dual-zone climate control system, heated front seats, a multifunction trip computer, power sunroof, power windows, remote power door locks, cruise control, leather and wood trim throughout, front and side airbags, rain-sensing windshield wipers, power heated exterior mirrors, an audio security system, and an anti-theft alarm system. Other features include traction control, stability control, braking assist, and front fog lights.
Drivers were impressed with the Touareg's handling, smooth ride, safety features, and interior, though some would have liked to have had third row seating. On the downside, several drivers noted that the vehicle required "frequent trips to refuel."

I think this would be a great family starter car! Now that my children are growing, we need more room. I am looking for something with a third row. However, my car is paid off and I plan on keeping it as well. That is how much I love this car. It is very dependable!Jul 23, 2014

Car is almost perfect. I wish they put 8 speed transmission in these things. Besides that I have no real complaints. The power and comfort is unparalleled. A very utilitarian vehicle that is fun to drive. Rare find and in exceptional condition.Jun 05, 2014

This is a fantastic vehicle to own and drive,I think the Tuareg is the better of the 3 vehicles Porsche Cayenne,Audi Q7 and VW Tuareg. It is a solid affordable vehicle that has a great owner retention opposed to the other SUV. Jun 23, 2013

Perhaps the most comfortable of the mid-size SUVs, it certainly handled better than any of the alternative. Equally agile in every type of weather I've thrown at it. Once I acclimated to the sticker shock of ongoing maintenance costs, it secured its spot as my primary driver.Nov 15, 2011

I have owned this SUV for over a year. This thing runs great, only 1 warranty issue so far, the horn burnt out. That said I was on my way to Kingston and called the Dealer and they scheduled me right in!
This things hauls butt, a little hard on fuel but smooth as silk. I have the air suspension and it really softens the ride. A buddy of mine has one without, I can notice the difference.Sep 05, 2008

Good performance for an SUV, stong V6 engine with surprisingly good acceleration, generally well built but with a few little faults that dealer doesnt seem to be able to fix. Very bad dealer service in Slovakia. Very capable off road, specious and comfortable. I would recommend this car to anyone. Aug 09, 2008

The VW Touareg V10 TDI is so powerful and solid. It is the best car I have ever owned, and that is saying a lot because I have owned a lot of really top notch cars. It's lots of fun to drive and it is well-loaded with lots of yummy technology. Mine is in a lovely blue-silver color that is hard to find, and is no longer available in the newer models.Aug 01, 2008

This is the ultimate 4X4. Forget the Rangey and forget Clarkson's or
anybody who's British reviews. This car has saved my life on a couple of
occasions. The only negative is the hesitant turbo in sticky situations (got
me in a mess once) and the instrumentation/ computer. Finally after
sending it a few times to the garage, they've got it fixed. Now its
awesome! That V10 engine growl is almost like sex.Dec 23, 2007
