Best looking compact SUV

The vehicle looks sleek and german.. very audi/BMW like... I love the turbo engine especially in sport mode.. well built.. the touch screen is perfect in function and appearance.. 3 little items that annoy.. small, non movable arm rest, no solid covering on Sun roof (just material that always lets in light), and no passenger power seating... . Thus a 4 star for interior

Saved My Life In Colorado

Excellent performance and safety. ABS breaking system second to nome. SAVED MY LIFE in the snow and ice in Colorado. I had to make a emergency brake and avoid a tractor trailor by an inch. Breaking saved me .

Love My New Lease

I have had a Santa Fe and a Rav4 and I loved both the cars I used to have, but since getting the Tiguan it is now on the list of cars I love.

At 6'5" tall this vehicle has lots of room.

Such an upgrade from the 2017 model. I can't believe all the head and legroom. I like the fact it now only requires 87 octane gasoline.

Great ride

It?s so comfortable and nice to drive. I?ll definitely be a return customer! I took it to the beach and it was nice opening the roof

My favorite VW vehicle so far!

The 2018 Tiguan SE 4Motion has everything I have wanted in a vehicle and is so fun to drive. Great gas mileage and a smooth ride.

Not what I expected

My 2018 Tiguan is amazing. I went from. 2013 turbo beetle to this... at first I didn?t even want to test drive it because it look to much like a ?slow mom/family ? vehicle. I was impressed with all the room when you put the seats down. And OMG the full glass roof is breathtaking. But beyond that the Think Blue trainer is a great feature along with the auto engine off when I?m in LA traffic making my gas mileage on top point. I feel so safe drinking it and it rides like a Rolls Royce ...

Very reliable

The car has held up extremely well so far. My wife and I purchased this vehicle in mind of getting a reliable SUV that will last us for years to come.

Where's the Ooomph!!??!!

I love the look of my new tiguan, but what is the funny noise, like a lawnmower, when I hit the gas? My beetle just took off like a lightning bolt and I feel like this car hesitates...kinda scares me. Anyway, I also noticed a hard, drippy looking substance on the side undercarriage of both sides the car. Not sure what it is, but visable to everyone. Hubby said it looks like compound, I'm taking her to the dealer. Stay tuned...
