Yes, just remember, these were $50K (USD) vehicles to start. They are expensive to repair and you can't just pop down to the local pick n pull junkyard for parts like you can a Ford or Chevy. Or even a Toyota now! Ha ha!
If you have the $$, they are fun vehicles to drive. But if you can't afford a few thousand dollars in repairs every now and then, find a less expensive vehicle. I'm not saying you'll be spending a few grand every year, but you might.
Since you're a diesel fan, I'm sure you know how much more expensive they are to maintain vs. a gasser. The Touareg is no different. :- )
Oh, and WELCOME!
