Hi All,
I am after some opinions from those more experienced in the world of Touareg's than I. After finally convincing the better half that the the Touareg should be top of our list for the next family car I am trying to decide which model would be a better option.
Unfortunately the budget won't stretch to a new one but for around the $45-50k mark I find that I could either go for a low km MY10 V6TDi or go up a year but down a spec to the 150TDi. I haven't driven a 150TDI yet and maybe that would be all I need to do to make the decision but in the meantime I'd appreciate anyone else's experience with the two models.
I know some of the fruit was lost in going to the 150TDi and obviously the motor is down on output but does it make much a difference for everyday driving and convenience?
This will be the family wagon, no towing of any significance, and maybe occasional light offroad(beach/gravel tracks) but mainly want it for the space, economy of the diesel, build quality, and so that I can continue to have a VW in the garage instead of a Mazda CX9.
Thanks in advance for any contribution to the decision.
