For those of us who have recently ordered one, most likely a black edition, to discuss all things Touareg as we head to delivery and then sharing thoughts, impressions, tips and tricks.

Ours is for my wife, I have just got the 840i delivered from the lease deal that was around in Jan.

Our Touareg is a standard black edition in white (wanted Grey really) with the 286 bhp diesel engine due early September. Couple of things I am trying to find out are if the Sat Nav has google maps - some pics online suggest it does - and if the coloured ambient lighting can is already installed but just not activated. I suspect that is the case as the Arteon can be coded with VDCS to switch the colours on even if you dont spec the option.

Never had an SUV before so even in am excited for delivery.

Had ours a few days now and love it.

With the maps I think it’s VW own, although they have apple car play and android play too. Wireless charging etc too.

This is a good video for the infotainment https://youtu.be/EjWZSNWYRBY

Sandwiched between land rovers we had 2006 a MK1 3.0tdi for over 4 years and loved it. Proper 4x4 looks and really nice to drive. When this MK3 came on the scene I wasn't too sure about the grill and it just looked like everything else (Q7, Cayenne etc - OK I know that's because it is) however over time and hours on YouTube I think its great.

It was a toss up between this and a 2-3 year old RRS but we've just ordered one for the end of Sept delivery. 286 Black Edition Deal + Met Grey.

How is the ride on the massive 21" wheels?

Curious about the ride quality as well. We wanted grey rather than white - well not strictly true, I wanted grey the wife wanted white and its her car plus the money saved I am fine with it. Black edition type cars do tend to look good in white anyway (as opposed to white with chrome trim).

I still dont know yet if the multicolored interior lights for the ambient lighting are fitted as standard and just not 'activated' so as soon as i know I will share.

Was originally planning on taking the car end of Sept but am now looking to take it as soon as it arrives at the dealership.

Congrats - Hope you enjoy it.

I"ve had mine for 18 months, and I love it. However, a constant irk is the screen brightness control. Sedt to 'Very High' it dims to almost invisible brightness around dusk. Bright or dark conditions and it is perfect. Does that happen with newer editions, or is it just me?

Similar to another poster, been mulling over a 2-3 year old RRS but plumped for a reasonable lease deal on a Black Edition due in December, White, standard car.

They look lovely and loads of kit as standard!
