I have yet to own a VW. I presently have two Audis which I suppose are rich peoples VWs. I am not rich btw. I am in the market for an SUV and like the look and gear on the Touareg V8 R-Line. I cannot stomach the Audi A7 and although the Audi SQ5 is a contender, the Touareg has a real V8 and so much more for the money, including that 8 inch touchscreen.. I am not a fan of Audi's MMI screen; typing in an address for the sat nav is a frustrating process in the extreme.
The other contender is the Mercedes ML500, which I have read very variable reports on, ranging from glorious to dreadful. I have not seen the same spread of opinions with Touareg. The only thing I can fault on the Touareg is the Cruise Control; there is no speed regulation when you are going downhill. Our Audi A5 applies the brakes to keep within 2km/hr of the set figure.
Any input on any of the topics I have thrown into the air would be much appreciated. btw, I am yet to drive any of these vehicles as none of the local dealers have any.
