You silly Toyota people
I wont take it from you, Toyotas are pretty reliable vehicles... But when you stoop to a re****ed state and make comments like "my Toyota with its tiny little engine is just as fast as the Touareg with a larger engine" and talk down on it for it, why dont you look at the weight comparison of the 2 vehicles 1st?! The VW weighs almost 1,200lbs more!!!! Now your talking about a car that has a bigger engine but only slightly more HP compared to the weight difference and it actually makes your Toyota look like crap. For the HP you do have in that Toyota it should be faster, but of course, being that its a Toyota its not fast. But hey you still have its reliability! The Touareg has far more off road capaibility then any Toyota minus the Land Cruiser that you spend $85,000+ for and had to special order lol.
You get what you pay for in the Touareg which is far more advanced than any Toyota will have in an SUV. I will also add that fixing my Touareg is pretty expensive but its a fix that once its done then its DONE. Not like a Toyota that the part will eventually wear out again. Toyotas have known issues with over heating even when properly maintained, the water pump will be replaced multiple times, cost you about $700 for the new pump, belt and shop fee. The suspension to Toyotas are horrible at best, parts wear out quickly on them. CV joints are very weak in them as well. Alignment needs to be done about every 6,000 miles because the top mount was cheaply designed. The list goes on and on with problems related to Toyota. Now, if you think im trash talking it because i own a Touareg you will be very very wrong, i trash talk it only because of the ignorance of some of the Toyota drivers. My mother in law has a newer Toyota 4 runner and has constant issues, nothing huge like engine or transmission but a lot of small annoying issues that i end up taking care of. The customer care is where there is a night and day difference! I have taken my Touareg to VW even out of warranty and they have taken care of some things for me, Toyota on the other hand you sometimes have to fight just to take care of items that are even in warranty. Im sure my thread will stir up a couple bees nest but thats ok because once you calm down and get off your high horse you will realize that i am right and not just talking out of my @$$ like some of these Toyota lovers in here.
