I used to have a VW Golf TDI. I loved the car but anytime it needed anything it was killer. $20+ for an oil filter, $1800 for a clutch. It sucked the fuel savings right out of the car. I ended up with a civic which overall cost me the same. I'm curious why the Touareg and not a Diesel truck?

In laws have two TDI's. As Maxpower stated the cost to operate a VW outweighs the fuel savings you may get

That sucks boost, my wife has an 08 jetta gas and its been an awesome car. If i could afford a tourage i would have one in a heart beat!! Our jetta had extened warranty to 160,000km and all we used it for was a jammed CD player that actually fixed itself but they had a new one there so they put it in anyway. The jetta is for sale cuz she wants an SUV.

My sister gas a diesel 2010 and great unit but the cost for service is crazy.
She showed me service bill for the 60000 mark and with everything it was $2100
She didn't have most thinks done but still the bill for oil change, air filter, and such was +\- $1000.00
Had to sign waiver that she denied main service .
Warranty if any may become trouble.
Loves the unit but terrible cost to operate as far as getting it serviced.
If they offered a complete service plan for the term of owner ship up front and was reasonable maybe.

Service out weights fuel savings and expecially if u live 2 hrs away for service had a tdi jetta and all fuel savings went into the 3-500 service jobs and day off to take to dealer.

Yeah these European vehicles are brutal for service work. I've got an 08' Audi S6 with the V10, everything related to this car is killer $. But the driving experience is worth a lot too.
