Do a search there is a guy on here that post all the issues with the touareg. From a test drive I can tell you it's a nice ride .I prefer the V8 or V10 deisle though ove the 6

The 2005 VR6 has been upgraded to 240 HP (was 220 HP in '04 Models), though I would opt for the V8 if possible, its fun to drive and has power. The VR6 isn't bad, but if I was driving something as heavy as a Touareg I would definately want 8 cylinders motivating it.
