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.

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!

Aston Martin DBX

With the DBX, Aston Martin has wrapped its trademark sports-car drama into a high-riding package that looks like it could sprint off the driveway and into a gala, while the cabin pampers occupants with handcrafted leather and theatrical attention to detail. Behind the wheel it feels like a grand tourer that learned how to tackle country roads, serving up surprising agility for such a stately presence and keeping rivals honest with its rarefied blend of performance and luxury.
