Should have been a 4-1/2 star overall vehicle
By Farmer on Sunday, October 09, 2022
I owned this SE 4Motion Taos since December 2021. The only attribute keeping this vehicle from being great is the sloppy transmission. The transmission shifts inconsistently causing either jerking of vehicle at low speeds or inadequate acceleration when needed to merge into traffic. These are big safety issues requiring an immediate fix. There are two things you can do to minimize those conditions. Use gasoline rated at 89 octane and customize the normal driving mode by setting the driveline to ECO. This will lessen the occurrence of jerking and hesitation. I have had a full day of the vehicle operating like it should on occasion for unknown reasons. - 5.0
Close second to my Audi Q5!
By Kray on Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Just sold my Audi Q5 as the repairs were astronomically expensive. Since its made by the same company, I thought maybe the Taus would be a close second at half the price. I was right! I'm loving this car. I got the SEL with leather and tons of safety features - well worth the cost. It handles just as well as my Q5. Acceleration is good, not quite a good as my Q5, but definitely better than similar vehicles I drove before deciding on the Taus. It's really fun to drive, takes corners so well, and U-turns are a breeze. The advertised mileage is really accurate - I'm getting 28 around town and 34 on the highway (if I slowed down I'm sure I would be 36 - 38). Very happy with my purchase! - 2.0
4 Motion transmission is Temperamental at best
By Franswa on Monday, September 05, 2022
I would rate this vehicle at least 4 stars if the transmission did not make driving this vehicle Work and tiresome. I have owned this vehicle about 9 months and the majority of the time I was trying to find out what was wrong with it or what I was doing wrong. After trying various combinations of driving modes I came to the decision that the transmission is not a good match for the vehicle. The main point is that a vehicle should make it easier for the driver to operate not more difficult. I think the Taos 4 motion deserves a failing grade and VW should do something to satisfy customers of these vehicles and quit using that transmission on the 4 Motion. They almost made a good vehicle again but not quite.
