Reader’s Question:

I’m curious about the Touareg SUV from Volkswagen. I am pretty sure it will be different from the other SUVs I see around Houston, TX. An SUV with the all-familiar VW stamp? Can anyone give me a push to get one?

Okay, Samantha, I will try to fill you in on some information you may already know but have not really thought about seriously. I think, usually, we get an SUV based on the following criteria: enough room for the family or anything you would like to put inside the car, and does the car have enough power to haul everything. I left out fuel economy. Since you decided that you will get an SUV, for me, it automatically means that you are not exactly looking at doing more than 21 miles per gallon while driving around Houston, Texas.

Since you mentioned “different,” there are some worthwhile features you should check when you look at the Touareg. Style-wise, I think the VW stamp alone makes it different. For some technical features, you can also put Volkswagen’s permanent four-wheel drive, called the 4Xmotion, through its paces. If you can get to test drive the Touareg 2, then much better. Personal tip, though. If you won’t be doing a lot of off-roading, I suggest that you can consider the V6 engine variant as the logical choice for your needs. The V6 engine gives about 280 horsepower to carry you, and whatever you have in your Touareg around. You can get 18 miles to a gallon in city driving and 20 on the highway, and of course, almost a 10,000-dollar difference from the V8 variant.

Whatever your preference is about Volkswagens, there are important steps that you should take before purchasing your Volkswagen from a Volkswagen Dealer in Houston, Texas. Here are some reminders on buying a Volkswagen car. The most important thing in buying a used VW car is by knowing what kind of driving does the previous owner has. Ask questions and details to the previous owners and driver. This way, you have the opportunity to know if the car had been in accidents or had major updates. Observe the attitude and character of the previous owner/driver. Check for indications on how the VW was treated. Ending up on a badly treated VW car may also mean spending too much for the car.

Next step is to get a mechanic do a thorough check on the car. The results can give you a heads up on costs and repairs or how long would the VW car would last on your possession. Also do some book work regardless if you buy your VW from a car dealer or private seller. Research on and about the general performance of the car. Read owners and consumer reviews online. This will give you ideas on what other same car owners think as well as experiences about the car. And lastly, get a good and reliable insurance premium. These should always come in handy before you step in to purchasing your own VW car.
