Great small SUV!

I ended up purchasing a fully loaded SEL 4Motion Taos and really like it. The sunroof/moonroof is a big hit amongst the backseat passengers and the Beats speakers provide a good sound! The backseat is quite spacious and felt larger than the Tiguan. The turbo engine provides some pep, but can also be a bit jerky. Once you know this about the car, you’ll get used to driving it with less/more acceleration, accordingly. I wish the car had front parking sensors and a better backup camera. The Taos lacks these safety features, which is something I didn’t think to ask about (dumb on my part). It’s also missing an automatic liftgate, which isn’t a dealbreaker but definitely something to consider if you’ve got your hands full with groceries and kids. All in all, the Taos is a great car!

Had this vehicle just over 2 months and it has been flawless. fit and finish is great, and comfort is superb and i am 6'"3. this is one of the smoothest running vehicles i have ever owned and I have had many. if you are someone who does your own maintenance you will love this vehicle, it is very easy DIY. highly recommend this vehicle.

Great Car

I like just about everything on the car; from the engine response, handling, braking, and gas mileage. What could use some improvement is the road noise. It's a little loud on rough pavement or black top. It could be the tires. I bought the car new and it came with a tire brand I've never heard of. I will try a different brand when the tires need to be replaced.

Lots of upgrades are standard. Purchased the SE. Upgraded seats are very comfortable and heat up well with the seat warmers. Added AWD. Handles well. Heated steering wheel. New review. Poor acceleration, no power, poor gas mileage. Too much empty space. Wouldn't lease again. Tested other SUVs. Came back to the Taos, perfect size, not too long. Seats five comfortably. Back up camera, blind spot mirrors, emergency need to stop all standard features. Good sound system. Excellent customer service by Niello Volkswagen here in Sacramento. 18" Continental wheels. Drives like a more expensive car. Purchased the Pylite Grey with black interior with hints of cobalt blue accent trim on the dash. Love my new car.

New rear breaks after 12,000 miles

Required rear breaks @ $795 with only 12k in miles on the car. This following numerous engine and fuel pump alerts over the past year. Total garbage. The dealer said they use small brake pads in the rear that wear out quickly and better Tiguan brakes in the front. WHY? So I can pay $795 for service/parts fees?? What a scam.
