i would have sold the toureg had it cost that much to maintian as well, i'll let someone else chime in on maintanence costs b/c my t4r has 6k on it and hasn't been in the shop yet... what i can tell you, comin from a current VW owner is that the interior controls are much different than toyota...

so i thought i had that creak taken care of when i wrapped the latch with duct tape but it has come back...Has anyone fixed this annoying creak for good without it coming back?? Besides driving around with the seat down, lol... I think someone mentioned electrical tape, maybe i'll try that too...

noticed this as well, i thought maybe it was because the car wasn't actually warm enough to pump air at the temp i had set and once it was, it blew out full force...?? Or is that just a stupid explanation??:confused:

i agree about the mirrors, but mine is black so less of issue for me... The only other SUV that came well equipped across all trim levels was the pathfinder, from the outside that is, they felt very cheap on the inside though, WAY too much hard plastic.

oh and i figured i could add the spoiler later :bigok:

I think that all the trim models look great...If you were shopping for say a new explorer (which we were), in order to get one that looks respectable, your gonna have to get a higher trim or else it's gonna look like shite (ie, no fog lights, small tires with crappy rims, plastic everywhere)...

Thanks ffongge, i'll give it a shot next time...And good info CJ3Flyr. Thank you.

Oh and I think the comparison between the two shows is difficult because the premise of suvivorman was to show you how to survive in one spot basically for 7 days...Les never really goes anywhere... On the other hand, Bear strikes out and tackles the elements, he he's much more physical, and i...

If you like Man Vs. Wild, read his book "The Kid Who Climbed Everest"...I always loved the show but the book gave me even more respect for the guy...The new season is a much different take on what he used to do but still great IMO.

thanks for the info Mark...Island Beach State Park is a barrier island south of seaside park...Parkway Exit 82, follow rt 37 east until you reach the bridge over the bay, and then follow the beach south, it's at the furthest point south you can go (not very far from the bridge). Great place if...

the light with the squiggly lines is the light for hill-start assist, but according to the manual, when the system is working the light flashes and an alarm sounds, and unless your driveway is a steep grade to the street, it's probably not activated...it sounds like an electrical issue and not...

nah, no fish, I really just went out to take the dog and try the truck on the beach...I just got the permit wednesday. I'm almost positive it was a warning beep but i wanted to see if it was anything serious...it sounded like the beep when we lock and unlock the doors...? looking in the manual...

$2.89 here at the Jersey shore...seems to be the ONLY thing cheaper here than most other states, agh...

i took the 4R on the beach for the first time today (island beach state park, NJ)...it handled perfectly by the way. anyway, I'm following the tracks of other trucks and attemt to cross to go into another set of tracks and i end up going over a decent sized bump, and when i came down i hit...

i knew the spare was equiped with the sensor as well, but i had no idea it could alert you of tire pressure unless it was in use? I learn something new everyday here!!
