Super Fast When You Need It

This vehicle's claim to fame is it really goes when you need it to. And it'll stop on a dime. The steering is sensitive to the touch of a finger. The sunroof and sound systems are amazing. There is plenty of room in the back trunk area. I fit 4 large suitcases in there with no problem seeing out the back. Its a great all around car.

Love Volkswagen Build Quality

Great vehicle..solid and safe...i feel much better about my family riding in this than most any other options. Very flexible interior with lots of space and love how everything has so much adaptability. Even the rear seats fold, recline, slide to make room where you need it. Plus people over 6 feet tall can still ride comfortably in the back seats. Panoramic sunroof is just a bonus

Stylish and reliable

After driving my Tiguan for a little over 5 years, I can honestly say that I am still as satisfied with it today as the day I bought it. It has been a very reliable vehicle. It is roomy and comfortable for passengers, and has as much cargo area as I?ve ever needed (and I?ve packed a LOT of stuff into it). The Tiguan handles well - peppy and responsive. I can feel it grip the road when rounding corners, and it?s agile when quick maneuvering is needed. The ride is comfortable. The cuteness of the Tiguan is what first caught my eye, and the design still looks fresh and new. Interior fit and finish is spot on and has aged beautifully. VW uses quality materials that hold up well. The only negative is that it requires premium fuel, which (obviously) wasn?t a deal breaker for me.

Best commuter I have owned

Great commuter and lots of fun to drive. Turbo is great and add made sure I always got home safely. VW is always known to be great in the snow and awd has taken it to a whole new level!

Great all around car

I love VW and do not regret my decision to purchase this Tiguan. Plenty of interior and cargo space for a vehicle in its class. I wanted a VW with the 2.0 turbo and when I saw the Tiguan had it and also paired it with AWD it was a no brainer. Car handles all road conditions with confidence and even makes the back twisty roads enjoyable to drive. Not disappointed with this car in any way.

Great all around SUV

Excellent for everything from commuting to hitting the slopes. Not a huge vehicle but plenty of room for the weekend warrior and trips to home depot
