Re: Touareg Owner thinking of H3
The small windows are GREAT for sun protection!!! We had a rental though that didn't have a sunroof and it felt sort of claustrophobic compared to ours. In the winter when it's dank and rainy, our sunshade is always open. It goes a long long way towards giving the H3 an airy open feel. But in the summer, it's awesome to have all the shade that the big square roof gives you when it's brutally hot and when it's nice, that big open sunroof is awesome.
The Touareg is a poor performer offroad compared to the Adventure H3. BUT, if you want to wait for a year for a genuine hot rod, the diesel TDI V10 might be back out. But then you're looking at Denali territory. We looked at the VW when we bought our Denali. For our purposes, the Denali was what we needed. It only gets 16mpg but it's a lot more vehicle too.
I'd rent the H3 and drive it for a week, if you like it then, you always will.
