We bought an' 05 Touareg V8 off the floor for my wife. It's been mechanically reliable but needed a new solenoid for the center diff, has had code reflashed a number of times, and the electrical system has been a nightmare. Tire monitors don't work, it always screams that you have a broken wheel/flat tire/unspecified problem, blinkers quit working, then start again. Gas tank reports "unsealed gas cap". Naturally, these are intermittent problems, so the dealer has a great way to fight you on every little fix.
I think the electrics have just gotten so complicated you have to wait for version 3.0, just like Windows. Which, incidently, is the version number VW is on with their tire pressure monitoring computer installed in our car. Other than that, it's been OK. One trim piece fell off.
Maybe the GTI has a more mature electrical system.
