Just wanted to share a few pix of my new daily driver. 2004 VW Touareg
My Suburban was just a bit to large for my daily needs, so I went with the VW.
I have a good rapport with a local dealer who gave me first right of refusal on the first batch that came in. First allotment was for a V6 and a V8. I drove the V6 and was very pleased with the ride and feel of the car but not overly impressed with the power. This past Friday the V8 was dropped off, so I was thee on Sat for my test ride and said I would take it. I took her home on Tues and so far have put only 100 miles on the clock. Deal was sticker but I got more than $2k above Kelley trade in #. I am sure that in a few months there will be deals to be had, but I wasn't interested in waiting.
My first impression of the car is that it is very quiet with a good amount of luxury without being overdone. The V8 is very responsive and smooth and the automatic 6spd seems to shift smoothly and exactly when you want it to.
