 Wife uses this as a daily driver to work - 20 mile round trip - almost all highway miles.But is horribly expensive to maintain. $700 for heater blower motor (in California - so hardly ever used).$2800 for timing belt at 60K miles.Just got quoted $3500 to replace the [non-permissible content removed] alternator (have to lower the friggin engine to do it).As much as I like the Taureg, I'd never recommend anyone buy one that is out of warranty.
