2009 Volkswagen Tiguan consumer reviews

Fun to drive, when it was running. Nightmare in terms of reliability. Engine oil system failed at 20k mi, requiring a new engine. 2 water pump failures in 80k miles. Oil leaks. Leaking sunroof that cost over 2k to repair. Turbo system failure at 90kmi. Did all the service at vw but that did not help prevent the many issues.

I purchased my 2009 Tiguan used just weeks ago, the cooling fan stays on keeping the engine lights on, I read other customers reports of the same issue, the fan staying on until the battery runs down, I called VW and was told it's my problem, I honestly think the company should have a recall and fix this issue with the cars since it's a manufacturer defect

This car is very comfortable to drive. I like the handling and passenger comfort. I bought this used, I will buy a newer one when I replace my family car.

this car metall my needs plety leg room i recommen this car to a friend to purchase good gas miles take it for test drive to see how good

Had to spend $3000 every year in repairs on this vehicle. Just got rid of the thing. Will never buy another VW product. Mine was top of the line everything. Had all the maintenance done and the final straw was major oil leaks at only 140,000 k

This car represents the build quality of German cars which is complete garbage with unnecessary engineering that makes it more difficult and expensive to work on. The 2.0 tsi engine in these cars has many defects that make it break down well below 100,000 miles. Because of a faulty direct injection design the engines have to be disassembled and cleaned of carbon at great expense to the customer every 60,000 miles or major engine damage can occur. The engine is also full of unnecessary screens that become dislodged or clogged restricting oil passages and causing major engine damage or complete failure. The timing chain tensioner and water pump are also known to fail at low mileage and cause major engine damage. One of the worst engines ever produced by one of the least reliable auto manufacturers. Stick with a Honda if you want a good investment

Volkswagen's first small SUV is luxurious, well finished and impressively quiet. It straddles the small and upscale compact SUV classes. Seating is roomy and comfortable. Handling is agile, and the smooth engine provides good acceleration, Panoramic Sunroof

I hated it,it's been at the repair shop many times, one time for 3 months, even though it was repaired we had to pay, 2,000 for the repair, I called corporate, even though many of the same model had the same problem there has been no recall. it decided to stop working for no reason. We payed 30,000, and we payed a third of the price on repairs. Very disappointed, not reliable

Have always owned a Volkswagen. I love the Tiguan, and I received regular compliments on the style (both interior and exterior) as well as the comfort of the ride. So much fun to drive.

I loved the Tiguan as soon as I drove one. Very quiet cabin. Smooth ride. Dependable. Basic interior but has any of the options you'd want.
