I’m thinking of getting a Taos. In making a major purchase I rely on the posts of current owners. What do they like? What is giving them trouble? Are they enthusiastic about their purchases? Do they regret their purchases?
So why is this forum so empty? Is it that, due to the chip shortage or the pandemic, so few Taoses have been made and sold that there are virtually no owners out there? Or are all the cars out there so trouble-free (or so boring??) that nobody has anything to say? Is there another forum that I don’t know about?
Look at the ID.4 forum. Thousands of posts! Here, nearly all the posts are from weeks or months ago. It’s almost as though the Taos has disappeared from the face of the earth.
Comments, anyone?

hi, I have had my Taos for a couple weeks now and have put almost 1,000 miles on it.
Overall I have been very happy with it. I have the base model with all the safety features. This is my 5th VW. I’m going to nitpick, wish it had a sunglass holder. It has taken me some time to get use to the way it shifts. When it’s not in sports mode it’s difficult to take off with medium acceleration. Taking off slow is easy but when you push it it seems to jump into high gear. I think I’m adapting to it now? Also after purchasing it I found out that you can’t tow with it.
I contacted VW and they sent me this email.
Thank you again for contacting Volkswagen Customer Care regarding the Taos!
I am following up with you after reviewing your Taos towing inquiry with my internal resources. The Taos is not designed for towing a trailer. With that being said, no trailer hitch may be retrofitted. Since the Taos is not designed for towing, we do not have a recommended towing capacity for the model whatsoever.
This is not a deal breaker for me. Even if it could tow it probably wouldn’t be over 1000lbs
I drove it between Tampa and Miami. Highway ride is very good and got a little over 36 mpg. Adaptive cruise control and lane assist worked great, just had to get use to it. Turning radius is great. I think it’s better than my 2017 golf that I traded in for this. I miss how the golf hugs the road but this has a much smoother ride. Overall I feel great about the purchase. Because of the chip situation I got top dollar for my golf a good deal on the Taos. Hope this helps.
