Thank you. I’m going to buy my Taos SEL tomorrow. $31k after tax and a $5500 trade in. It will be my 5th VW purchase from this same dealership. I only drive VWs, don’t mind spending a bit extra for this. Trading in my 2015 CC SE

Best way to avoid the jerkiness is to use manual DCT shifting to both accelerate to your cruise speed and to downshift to help in slowing down. Simply return the shifter to the left column when ready to resume a steady speed again. Drives incredibly smooth.
Best part of taking control this way: you'll see a sizable increase in fuel economy. I am averaging 35+mpg overall and up to 42 mpg hwy following these techniques.

would be nice if you would show the sound system

[@tydrives4846]

I would love to demonstrate the sound system in all of the cars, however RUclips has very strict policies on playing music in videos.

I have a ‘2023 Taos SE, love it…..no issues with it.

There's no video of the lights at night online it says it has ambient lights and stuff inside but I can't find anything about it please and thanks

[@Mirror1973]

Check out Mike’s Car Info channel, he has night videos 😊 and very detailed about lighting, I follow Ty and him among other channels❤

[@andrewdrennan9436]

Mike's has a good feature on it. I own an SEL myself and have set the customization. It's very impressive and allows you to set whatever mood you wish.

Nice review

[@daviddelasho4262]

Great video. I test drove an SE w/ pana roof, FWD. It was sig more than an AWD CX-30 and still more than AWD CX-50! Over priced and should offer a power lift gate.

Chip shortage. Fobs are rigged for it vw just doesn’t have the parts still

3:37 You forgot to switch it into sport mode on the shifter knob, what you did was just adjusting the wheels into sport mode. The shifter knob actually puts the transmission and kicks up the turbo when in sport mode. Just wanted to point that out lol

It is inappropriate to lecture the reviewer. Please never post comments on RUclips again.

[@andrewdrennan9436]

@@cgmiddleif the reviewer is incorrect, then I'm sure he'd appreciate getting the right answers. I was here to mention the same thing.
