Touareg features

[rsbmw]

Looking at buying a ~2016 Touareg and wondered about a couple of features I can't find a definitive answer on, do they have (or are they included in a 'pack') -

Speed limiter function
Bluetooth media streaming
Heated windscreen

I have a 2015 RLine, Bluetooth media on mine was standard (don't believe it was optional on the SE either), not aware of a speed limiter option, there is a setting to have it alert you when you hit a certain speed, heated windscreen was an option, have a feeling it may have been part of a pack with 100l fuel tank and a webasto heater.

Sorry to hijack the thread but... just wondered how you were finding the Touareg? I’ve toyed with the idea of getting one for a while now, in the end though I found a fairly new at the time 2017 model mk2 Tiguan TDi 150 r line, the appeal was that it’s supposedly less complicated really, so in theory less to go wrong. I test drove a 2016 Touareg a while back though and really quite liked it, so would be interested to hear how it’s been.

Just coming up to 5 years old, for our needs it's been great - two young children and the associated stuff, taken it on a few ski trips.

It's a big heavy car with a 3l engine so fuel economy is what you'd imagine, but it can get down the road well enough.

No plans to change it - I'd likely end up buying something similar so no point. The satnav etc is quite dated now, however I retrofitted an android auto box (keeps all the same hardware on the dash etc) which does carplay / android auto off my phone.
