The mighty VW Touareg. This is my personal car for the last year and it's an awesome car. It gives you a good sense of security and it basically has the ability to take you everywhere. And it is truly a strange (in a good way) feeling in what luxury you can cruise through hills, forests or mountains.
It's adjustable air suspension is great, meaning you can go slow and high or you can cruise fast and low.
It's maintenance is of course higher than a regular sedan, but not necessarily something to be scared off. It has a really low sale price, so you can get one cheap and if you put some money down for the inevitable surprises, you will be good.
On the downsides part, the 2.5 TDI engine feels often too small. If speed is not an important factor and you don't expect brutal accelerations, than this performs well. However, if you want something with more muscle and you're ok in paying the extra taxes involved, the 3.0 TDI is a better option for you.
Altough it does has a lot of pros (confort, style, security, offroad capability) and a lot of cons (fuel consumption, maintenance, acceleration), overall, it is a great car, which you mainly buy with your heart and not with your logic :)
P.S.: There are some baby noises in the video as a bonus, so you can hear how quiet it is in the cabin :)

Spoiler alert: During the test drive you will hear some baby noises so you can get an idea of how quiet it is in the cabin :D

How reliable it is? For long term journeys?

te salut ! la cat ai scihimbat uleul in cutie? si ce probleme ai mai avut cu ea ? ms

[@adrianonboard9373]

Salutare. Proprietarul dinaintea mea l-a schimbat cu 1 luna înainte de vanzare. Dar recomandările cele mai comune sunt undeva la 60 000km. Am avut masina 1 an, în afara de o problema cu compresorul de la pernele de aer (care a fost ușor și ieftin rezolvabila, nu am avut nicio alta notabila)

@@adrianonboard9373 Salut. Si eu vreau sa mi cumpar un 3.0 . La 7 - 8 mii sper sa gasesc cv ok in Germania. Cam cat sunt costurile de intretinere pe an? Multumesc!

[@adrianonboard9373]

@@Asdfgadv33423 Salut. Depinde mult de cum a fost intretinuta inainte. Daca te ajuta, pot sa iti zic niste costuri directe cu care am avut tangente:
- discuri frana - 500 lei bucata
- placute - 450 lei fata
- perna aer - 1500 lei
- compresor - reconditionare 650 lei, nou after market 3500 lei
- stop spate (200 lei dezmembrări)
- motoras parbriz luneta (200 lei dezmembrări)
Revizie - in jur de 1000 lei, schimb ulei in cutie - 1500 lei
Preturile sunt orientative, sigur gasesti si mai ieftin si mai scump. Partea buna e ca gasesti foarte multe piese in dezmembrări, la preturi mai mult decat decente

@@adrianonboard9373 Mersi frumos! La inceput ma gandeam si la un r 2.5, insa raman la 3.0... Nici macar nu am condus una in viata mea, doar am stat in dreapta 😆. Ma gandeam si la un q7, doar ca aia e prea lunga si nu ar fi ok sa o conduca prietena prin oras, mi ar fi frica :))

Hey i have a question,I looked at a Touareg 2004 2.5tdi r5 and test drove it,it had the dpf and catalizator taken off and it goes pretty well.BUT! The price is really low,and i was wondering why it is like that.The differentials button is blinking and he said it cant go in low speeds.Also said he changed the transmision.Motor is pretty quiet , can you tell my should i buy it?

[@adrianonboard9373]

Hey. I would say definetely not. These are awesome cars, but not that cheap to repair. You're better of if you get one which is in better condition and has a good service history. However, if you wanna get a project car and know a good mechanic, usuallly you can find enough of them in salvage yards and get cheap parts there

Heard that Touareg's from 2004 are so unrelaible.

[@adrianonboard9373]

@@AndreiAndrei-rt4po Overall, the model is very reliable IF maintained correctly. Unfortunately there are a lot of cars on sale which have not been taken care of properly and give the car an unfair reputation. I have seen people who have not invested for years anything else than regular maintenance parts but indeed I have seen people who had expensive repairs done (even changing the entire engines). Also, it's wise when you buy a car with over 200-300k kilometers to expect that things will start to fail, so you don't get dissapointed.
Bottom line, as for any car, if you get one that has been take care off, you will have decent to minimum investments. Else, prepare to have a good amount of cash reserved for repairs :)
