Hey all,
I’ve been driving a 2005 V8 Touareg for over ten years. Off-road gray with teak interior. It’s been a great vehicle. I’m looking to replace it with a 2016 or 2017, gas or TDI.
There’s no TDIs around me to test drive. So I’m looking for some advice from those who have driven both. In particular, I’m wanting to know how the 2016 TDI drives especially after the dieselgate recall has been performed.
I thought I’d find some posts on this topic - but have struck out. Let me know your thoughts or send me a link to a good discussion.
As a side, I had a 98 Jetta TDI before my current Touareg. I drove it for over 200k miles - loved the TDI in it. Also had an 06 Jetta TDI that was a tad underwhelming. So I've seen it go either way.
Thanks in advance.
