Know the title is redundant, just wanted it descriptive for the uninitiated. I have a 2006 V10 TDI S(uper)UV and scan this section for info regularly. None. Suggesting this as the placeholder for Q&A and enthusiasts.

I'll start.

Stock 2006 Campanella White exterior over Teak interior, 75K miles.

It is an absolute torque BEAST ~580, with 360 or so HP, and gets 24 gal/mi on freeway, ~16-18 purely around town. By comparison, my RR got 10 mpg and had 250hp. Fell more apart every day I owned it.

Great fun on long trips, 55-100 mph, especially. The wheelies off the line don't suck.

Cheers, all.

I had one of these monsters not too long ago as well.... Pure bliss from an ownership perspective, highly regret getting rid of it.

Just got back from a 200mi round trip commute. This thing impresses every long drive. So powerful and torquey. Just blasts past traffic and around PITA drivers.

That car is a freak show. I just love it. Have a 200 mi round trip weekly or so, and do look forward to it.
