[@some______guy]

This guy is the only one I'll watch reviewing cars on youtube. He's just the right mix of fun and enlightened

[@MC-nb6jx]

Some Guy ....I must have watched a different video, he’s a fucking tool who loves himself🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Tries to be funny, but fails by a country mile ..

[@MC-nb6jx]

Crazy 254 .... To see what bollocks he talks in his reviews🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ He comes across as biased depending on the brand, so much for independent reviewing.. Was that complicated for you??

[@MC-nb6jx]

Crazy 254 ... Ahhh you’re one of those who “think” people aren’t allowed an opinion if it’s not the same as yours 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ News for you, I don’t live in North Korea.. Ironic really that you criticise my “opinions” as it obviously differs to yours & say don’t watch.. Sorry Kim Jong that’s not how it works in the free world 😉😉

[@MC-nb6jx]

Crazy 254 .... You’re not what, Kim Jong?? Sorry there Vladimir, I mistook you for your mate.. You call my comments & opinions disrespectful by the way I put them about this guy, while being disrespectful to me. Hypocrisy?? 🤣🤣 “Works so hard for his job, puts his soul into it”.... how do you know this, are you his mum?? He makes moronic criticisms of certain things on some car brands which are just the same on other brands of cars which get a free pass on the same things.. A bit less bias would be more helpful🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess you can’t see past things like that through rose tinted glasses?? I bet you’d work well with others right up until you melted😉😉

[@MC-nb6jx]

Crazy 254 ... You say so mum.. As it’s a free country you’re entitled to your opinion as am I.. You defend him that’s fine.. I see a different reviewer than you & I’m allowed to say so in any way I want.. You don’t like that tough, it’s not North Korea🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@pazt9911]

I test drove one today and I would recommed anyone that wants pure luxury to go for this car, it completely separates you from all the noise and madness outside, and drives beautifully! We are getting one after testing a GLE, GLB and a Q7, Range Rover Sport, Porsche Macan, this ones the best out of the lot!

[@BasuSatwik]

Nuhan Hidayat except for that chrome on steering wheel.

[@nikolashopov7649]

No it doesn't. Q7 interior is way more luxurious and special

[@robertavadani5946]

Have you been in one? It's not as special as older Audi made you feel. Quite bland these days Audi interiors

I'm glad you covered towing in your great review, you should include it in every SUV or pickup review 👍

[@1stTeam]

definetly better looking, vw is upping their game in a design stand point.

[@harperwallace5633]

for sure

[@endzmeetmusic9053]

They dont worry about their designs. all vw effort is in Audi for looks

[@ccalvinn]

Audi/VW is just covering everything with horizontal lines it's pretty wack

[@ishalmania]

next up quality!

[@akshayakshay9696]

Yesterday I requested you to review VW Toureg and here you are. Thanks.

[@TheTwinzx11]

I thought my 04 version was ahead of it's time back in the day. VW has done it again.. this touareg is incredible

[@jamesgarton8608]

I wish our Hilux has the Trailer Assist function I am surprised that trailer assist isn't available on the VW Amarok

[@DeucalionDK]

James Garton it is on the Skoda Kodiaq though, in fact the Skoda has a lot of the same assist systems as the Touareg :)

[@mimortal]

1:28 whatever makes you feel sexy Matt lol

So mad this isn't coming to North America. Touaregs are badass!

[@UZB-0101]

[@AFhockey9]

Usually Europe gets it for 1-2 years then the US follows afterwards. Look at the Arteon for example. It will actually be released in the US soon

[@AFhockey9]

Brian do you have a source for that? I'd like to read up on that. I'm searching for my next family vehicle and the Touareg would be a game changer

[@european1114]

Just buy Porsche Cayenne or Audi q7 they are both better cars than Touareg, and cheaper in USA 😀👍

[@Bamwich]

except the same chassis, engine and TCS. hahahahaha.

[@FezzaYT]

You guys are very good. I just watched the entire video even though I would never even dream of buying a car like this!

[@geethsan1567]

Stealth wealth? I think it is.

[@TheEchelon]

Eh to be honest it's an expensive (looking) car, no one would think you'd be poor if you're driving one of these

[@NewBoy0606]

@Mr. Mosby Your friends are right.

[@konzioro7861]

Kerem Eser then you dont know anything about cars

[@Noah-bu1vk]

AG Coarseman I think the design itself is very flashy but it‘s the VW badge that kills it.

[@klauskananen5136]

Emmanuel oh no it hasn’t, don’t get me started with the TSI timing chain issues + DSG problems which costs thousands to repair. Or perhaps the 1,8 an 2,0 TSI with oil consumption problems? What about diesels you say? I’m glad you asked, because the diesels on the other hand need the flywheel to be replaced after a 100 000 km or so, which is again thousands of €€€.

[@TheUkdan02]

Best review yet. Very entertaining, Mat! It's a shame the Touareg is out of my price range.

[@silverwolfgaming8220]

Great vid, so thinking about getting one

[@TheGolga]

Love these videos for the non biased and honest reviews. The new Toureg is insanely good.

[@JC-zm1pp]

all your videos comprehensive, honest to your, channel and most of all really love your day to day HONEST review!

[@JC-zm1pp]

rest my case

[@lebomathatho6633]

This looks beautiful really could be my future car really love it

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

Love your review Matt! And it does look special. More like an Audi A8 inside. Audi should update the Q series interior to look more like their cars.

[@VehicleValhalla]

Miyuru Weerarathna www.amazon.co.uk/Woman-Window-hottest-thriller-bestseller/dp/0008234159

[@Jack13853]

But as he said the Audi feels more expensive inside and the swivel wheel infotainment system on Audi’s is a lot easier to use while driving

[@matchbox6652]

The most thing I like in Matt is that he is not pretending or dissembling a character he is not. Look at this pure laugh and passive action since 6:30 to 6:41 👍

[@simiyuwasilwavictor4956]

Matt is simply the best car reviewer in the business. Kudos Matt!!

[@menaseven9093]

Beautiful big Volkswagen Touareg, I like the big interior, the infotainment system and the retractable towing hook.

[@mahadevovnl]

Why touch screens though? When I'm driving and want to switch radio stations or change songs or click on a destination the road makes me hand wobble all over the place. Buttons are an improvement, VW. Touch screen isn't cool just because it's touch. It's like having a touch screen television at home, makes absolutely no user-friendly sense.

[@visionist7]

mahadevovnl the screen here is huge though and the icons are much bigger

[@tomjardine100]

mahadevovnl imagine if the screen freezes or fails, nothing will hardly work. Give me push buttons any-day

[@pickle24]

Not only volkswagen man. Every company uses infotainment screens nowdays, and we should adapt to them. It's normal and acceptable to control all that stuff from a screen now. Except for the climate control, that should deffinetely be made with physical buttons. Buttons are also more expensive to make comparing to infotainment screens, and also don't look as stylish, so companies are using screens now. But buttons help the driver be concentrated on the road.

[@TheEchelon]

Tom Jardine Buttons and knobs can break as well, happened plenty of times.

[@dsw1998]

You can control the radio with buttons on the steering wheel

[@TheBassBaritone]

You’re the best and most entertaining car reviewer by far Matt. Keep up with the good work!

[@EsBeeQue]

[@jeanpaulbenimana4132]

This video is amazing!!! 👍👍👍I literally like the car!

[@MaZEEZaM]

Really great vehicle inside and out, I particularly like the safety inclusions and the infotainment/dash set-up and I think its better than both the Bentley and Audi.

Unpopular Opinion: If you need an assistant to keep you in lane, you should not be driving

[@paulhendrix8599]

BenPBL Popular opinion: An assistant can be good to catch human error if something does to wrong.

[@deadkemper]

It's just lazy...I had it in my passat allroad..technically you could drive hand and feet free on the motorway..i did it

[@tedbarsalou]

omg raciss much???

[@dodo19923]

Paul Hendrix Unpopular fact: People who have problems driving and need electronics to help them out, shouldn't be on the roads. I've driven an old 1986 fiat panda for going on 5 years without a single hiccup, hell it even has a choke. Yet i see new cars smashed up all the time. Gizmos and gadgets make people lazy, making the risk of 'human error' higher than it should be. Argue all you want, but i'm not wrong.

[@kipzonderkop1994]

dodo19923 so, you’re saying cars shouldn’t be improved with electronics and new technology as that worsens driver skill? I’d like to see you shift faster than some of the dual clutch transmissions in modern cars. I’m sure the airbag is useless too Who needs traction control on 500+ HP cars amirite? Who needs cameras to help people reverse so insurance claims can be avoided amirite? Who needs parking assist when fender benders are great fun amirite? You can convince yourself that in your bubble you are right, especially giving a 1980s fiat as your example, but as cars have gotten much harder to handle, without technology you’re actively putting yourself at risk simply by being near them, as crash testing can clearly show you. Tbh, I’d rather have older people who aren’t very good at driving anymore be driven by their car than have me bump into their back because they decide they need to emergency brake because a bird flew by too fast...

[@scryptyc4295]

I rented one last year. Didn’t want that car at first but gave it a go. Now I long to own one. It is a game changer for suvs. An amazingly superb car... I dream of owning one soon.

[@gianlucalucchi3674]

now the Touareg is my favorite vw group big suv platform

[@vladmihai306]

Lets be real, Bentley is for status. It is double the money because it has the badge, it has better materials and ....that's it.

[@DonLee1980]

Yes but it has much better materials, finishing, and engine. 600+hp with a W12 engine isn’t going to be cheap right? A Swiss watch tells time no better than a timex. Just saying. There’s a lot of care and man hours work put in by highly skilled people.

[@fesslerivan603]

And it can do 300 kph

[@TheEchelon]

[@MaZEEZaM]

pontus nordin I think the car braking in the middle of a freeway is dangerous though, far better emergency response seen on other vehicles is when the car slowly reduces its speed and pulls off to the side of the road/into the emergency lane.

[@pontusnordin2343]
