it sounds like VW is the now Land Rover in quality or lack there of. My 2008 LR2, other than a software update for the stereo (which I have yet to have done), has ran flawless in its first 4500 miles in just 2 short months of ownership.
 
I've been researching my next car, as I usually keep one about 2 years. My choices to date are the (in this order) Touareg, Q7, LR3.
 
Of late, its moved to the Q7, LR3,and Ridgeline (own 2006 - flawless in all quality aspects)
 
I'll keep on eye on Touareg - its not totally off the radar, but I keep hearing tons of issues. Much more than I read at the Land Rover site by far.

I bought the Touareg because I think it is the best looking SUV on the market. I did my research and the back breaker for me was the let a limited amount of V10's in California and I scooped one up.
 
The problem is that Volkswagen does not understand a luxury car or the market and the service is less than acceptable. My 2nd Touareg (1st one was a lemon) has been in the shop for over 35 days in its first 4 months with me. You may think it is just I that got a bad car but keep searching around, you will see the stories add up and hopefully, you will vote against buying one.
 
I would hate to say to my fellow bloggers Told Ya So...
 
My list of issues, arguments, and problems go miles deep. I have had brake problems, electrical problems, paint is very soft and scratches upon contact, the odometer is over 10% fast so your warranty expires faster, service is needed quicker and the car depreciates faster. Car rattles and the drivers seat and steering wheel do not line up. You have to lean about 2 inches to the left to line up the steering wheel with the gauges and your always sitting crooked.
 
Cant say much else but to not buy this car. If you do, dont be mad at anyone but yourself.... I am happy to sell my V10 to any of you!! Mine only has 8,000 miles on it
