Mercedes AMG GT

The Mercedes-AMG GT is a theatrical sports car with prowling looks and an aggressive exhaust note that announces its intentions the moment it fires up. It pairs ferocious performance with surprising everyday usability — a taut yet forgiving chassis and a cockpit that feels special — making sensible buyers suddenly very good at justifying indulgence.

VW Touareg

Volkswagen Touareg wraps a grown-up presence in a classy, well-appointed cabin that feels more like a premium saloon than an SUV. It glides with quiet composure, devours long journeys and tucks away clever tech that makes life easier whether you’re stuck in town or nipping off the beaten track.

I've been driving a second-hand Touareg R-Line 2019 3.0 TFSI for 2 years — original price CHF 128,000, fully loaded. 2025: replacement engine by AMAG. Ride comfort perfect; infotainment adequate; a bit thirsty; prestige perfect (understated).

Brilliant car. Had 3 since 2005. Can't fault them. Would have purchased another, but after visiting local dealership, vehicle was being used by Sales Manager and it was in a d disgraceful condition. So purchased BME X6

Impeccable road-holding, especially if you choose optional extras like air suspension, active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering. Fast, quiet and comfortable.

I've been driving a Touareg 3.0 TDI with 286 PS, model year 2019, for 5 years.
So far no problems. Zero repairs.
Air suspension is top.
Driving feel is great.
Fuel consumption is also excellent for a vehicle of this weight (7.5 liters on average).
In my opinion the car is highly recommendable. That's why 5 stars!
