Just purchased the Taos SE AWD for my wife in Cornflower Blue. Not really my color but my wife loves it and it's growing on me. We're regular-sized people (I'm 6'2") and still fit nicely into this smaller SUV. Plenty of room in the back seat and cargo area too. The economy is good and it is a pleasure to drive. My wife loves the panoramic roof and blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise and lane assist were a must. I paid just over 30 after dealer discounts. We test-drove others, but for us, this was the one to buy. And VW's 1.9% was attractive in this time of higher interest rates.

I purchased mine at the dealership! I ❤ it! The drive is smooth!!!

This popped up in my recommended or I wouldn't have commented. Last week I was shopping for a compact SUV. I test drove many and included a Taos SE, even though it was a bit smaller than the rest (sub-compact I guess). I scratched it off my list pretty fast. It was as much as the compacts while riding a bit rougher and having more road noise than them. A Taos SE was as much as a Tucson SEL, had about the same equipment, but was smaller and less substantial feeling. I got a Tucson.

man i just watched 3 of your videos back to back. great review really refreshing perspective. one thing though if you could also test the sound system that would be great since that is one of the big factor for me at least for purchasing decision.

Thanks so much! Testing sound systems is tough, dealing with copyright striking and having the proper equipment to try to translate it over video is a challenge! But I appreciate you watching 🙏🏻

I bought the SE FWD cause I don't like the dual-clutch transmission and it was $26,844 and I thought that was very reasonable and the SE has alot of stuff on it. I am very pleased with it , only 860 miles on it but it's averaging over 30 mpg.

This suv would be perfect if the GTI engine was in it

I'm debating between this trim and q3 s line 45. What are your thoughts? Also good to mention, I live in Minnesota so remote start would be really nice.

Get the Tiguan R line heated everything and remote start the Taos was nice but more for your money in Tiguan R line than those 2

The main selling point is 0% for 60 mo.

Is this the highline ?

For 35k you could have a fully loaded gli or a decent spec gti

Thanks for the review. But not a great idea to be holding your phone while driving.

Are you guys seeing any of the head gasket issues in the 2024 Taos.

👍👍👍👍👍

What I heard is that people like it, but I heard in motor media that it isnt that reliable. Dont know what to believe.

I love the Taos almost bought one but instead for $1500 more was able to get a Tiguan R line back in 2022 I think the Taos price on the SEL is too high.Back then the Taos was $36k Sel and R line was $38k and the dealer took over $1000 off the R line so it was a no brainer.

I made the mistake of buying one, nothing but problems
