A view from a service department employee...The Touareg's were horrible when they first came out in 2004. They were in for service ALL the time. Software flashes to constantly update and fix computer problems and a few recalls. Since then, VW has made the changes that needed to be done and honestly, we dont see them in for service for much more than oil changes, tires, the needed items. If you are going to get one, dont get a 2004, it will be a major headache. I would recommend bringing it to a dealer for repairs though, because I dont think I wouldnt trust an outside shop to work on these trucks. I dont know how the Touareg 2's are since they just came out...but I'm assuming they will be ok.
