We had an 04 Touareg V6 for 3 years. It drove well but the mileage was no better than our current V8 Yukon monster. We had a lot of random electrical glitches (seat/mirror memory settings disappearing, HVAC control panel freezing up until the car was shut off and restarted, etc.). About 2 years in the dealer diagnosed a bad battery, which may have explained these problems. Apparently when the battery voltage drops the electrical system automatically starts shutting things off to reduce the load, which could explain some of the weirdness.

I enjoyed driving the car a lot more than the Yukon, not a surprise. We were planning to buy out the lease but eventually decided we needed more space, hence the Yukon.

Good luck
