Our family car is a VW Touareg, the 2nd generation 3lt V6 turbo diesel. More pull than a classroom full of school boys. More torque than most V8 petrols.

Great for towing, rated to 3.5 tonne!

Comfy as, its like a mobile living room, tanks of space inside for kids and in the boot.

Quite well priced 2nd hand as most kiwis are scared of owning 2nd hand euros. Huge amount of car for the money. We always just buy a 2 or 3 year aftermarket mechanical warranty.

My wife daily drives ours, shes 5 foot nothing and loves it, no drama to park.

Out on the open road it really comes into its own though, soaks up the miles, comfy, smooth, powerful, fast, eats hills like they are not there, and economical.

It really is a bloody awesome bit of kit, so far superior to any jap/Korean made SUV by a big margin.

Brought ours with 70k on it for under 30k about 18 months ago.
