Close second to my Audi Q5!
By Kray on Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Just sold my Audi Q5 as the repairs were astronomically expensive. Since its made by the same company, I thought maybe the Taus would be a close second at half the price. I was right! I'm loving this car. I got the SEL with leather and tons of safety features - well worth the cost. It handles just as well as my Q5. Acceleration is good, not quite a good as my Q5, but definitely better than similar vehicles I drove before deciding on the Taus. It's really fun to drive, takes corners so well, and U-turns are a breeze. The advertised mileage is really accurate - I'm getting 28 around town and 34 on the highway (if I slowed down I'm sure I would be 36 - 38). Very happy with my purchase! - 4.0
Surprise Surprise
By Birdman on Monday, September 06, 2021
Very intrigued with this car after owning a number of relatively high performance cars e.g. BMW's, Corvettes, and Porches. Being retired I decided to throttle back (pun intended) a little. We have had VW's in the family for many years and have always liked them. The Taos does not disappoint. Acceleration is not bad, better in Sport mode, ride is good, and handling surprisingly nimble. This said after just coming out of a 911 996 Carrera. The Taos is very light on it's feet, responsive, good turning radius and holds the road through corners very well, surprisingly well. I only have 600 miles on the car but unless quality issues suddenly appear I think its safe to say this is one of the nicest surprises I've had in a long time. - 1.0
Nothing but issues
By Kristian on Monday, January 02, 2023
Leased the car just over a year ago as of this review. Initially all was amazing preppy little car great features for the price then the issues started, first the rear brakes failed, next a fuel issue, multiple check engine lights all culminated with a head gasket failure 14 months 14k miles into ownership. Being the first model year of this car I don’t see it lasting if the issues persist. Dealing with a buyback now as VW corporate says the parts to fix the car are no where in sight.
