A little too early to guage satisfaction with this car. I obtained it as trade-in for our 81,000 mile '12 Touareg TDI that was unfixable (those VW diesel EPA issues). The '16 arrived with 20,000 miles on it. I drove it home to CT from ST Lous in January. The '16 is necessarily different. May get less fuel economy - not sure about that yet either. This car is our tow vehicle for small travel trailer that we pulled across the USA four times with the '12 with spectacular results/performance. I will have better feel for the '16 when we again pull our trailer around...
OEM tires = Parelli Scorpion = really awful. NOISY. Follow rain grooves. I repaced them eary on our 2012 and may have to do so here as well. Did I mention NOISY????
