After 6 months of owning a VW Touareg, I had enough of driving that pig, so traded it today for a 2003 A4 1.8T. I feel better already. That is all.

I guess the Touareg is a nice luxury SUV, but it's just not for me.

The thing weighs about 5600 pounds, gets about 12 miles per gallon, and it isn't much fun to drive. Suspension is soft, and transmission seems to take a few seconds to figure out what you are trying to do. I lost some money on the deal, but I'd rather have a car that I want to drive.

I was smiling all the way home in the A4. Glad I did it.

Yeah, I hate driving SUVs too.

better to say:

"I like sedans more than a SUV."

But I agree the Toureg is way too heavy - needs to be closer in weight to the RX-330.

If you had a chance, would you try the new V10 TDI engine with it? I've been always somewhat of a TDI fan, and I think it's a really cool engine to offer in the U.S. =)
