First Benjamin describes his week in the subcompact 2022 Volkjswagen Taos, which is meant to fill a Golf-sized hole in the German automakers lineup. While it looks small, it actually seems to have a ton of space, and features pretty solid fuel economy, but how does it drive? Benjamin bares all (about the Taos, that is.)
