Difference between 150 and 180

[Darks RS]

Potentially in the market for a new toureg, and dealer has suggested a 150 over the 180, can anyone elaborate (except engine size) and whether it's worth the 15+k?
Cheers Darko

Depends in what you want from the Touareg. If you are not going to use it for towing then value for money the 150 TDI has it over the 180 TDI.
The few extra dollars only really gives you Sat Nav and Air Suspension, Sat Nav is nice to have but any window mounted brand or smart phone gives you this anyway and there is no real need for air suspension over steel springs if you are just daily driving.

Thanks champ, ill only be towing a normal trailer, no boats or caravans!
There are a few options not available on the 150,comfort pack but i'm not too sure i need the stuff, more concerned w drivers assistance and thats available on all models.
Will have to drive both and then see!

Cannot speak highly enough of the bixenon headlights. I think they come standard on the MY13 150 now, but were an option on the MY11/12.

I picked up a demo 2011 with Sat nav, bixenon, sunroof (awesome) and metallic paint options with 10 000km for $59 K on the road. It is a buyers market right now. You can really save some serious coin if you shop around and there is a demo available in your area.
