No issues

The Tiguan has plenty of interior space. Instrumentation controls are laid out smartly with easy access. Very clean interior and well kept exterior. Quiet ride.

Equipped to suit all my needs

I am happy to say that I am very pleased with my purchase and the dealership as well. The certified vehicle had all I was looking for in a used vehicle and for the right price. I can't wait to take a road trip. Just loving it.

We made an excellent choice!

The VW Tiguan is a 4 wheel drive that makes it so helpful during the Winter months. When folding down the back seats, anything can be transported! Bikes, furniture, etc.... It is a sized SUV for those of us who are more comfortable driving a car that is not large. It is a sharp looking car with a lot of power!! This is our 4th Volkswagen!!!

To me this is a luxury car.

Never owned a VW but this car is outstanding. I am totally satisfied. I consider the Tiguan to be the equal of Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc.

2016 VW Tiguan

I picked up this gem about a month ago and it has been excellent so far. It is roomy and quick on the highway. I will say the turbo is quick to respond so it might feel a bit jerky at first until you get the throttle pressure figured out. Otherwise great vehicle and pretty economical (although you have to put high grade fuel in it (USA gas model)). I got the 2016 S Tiguan which didn't have the Apple Car Play available which kind of sucks but it connects via bluetooth easily so nothing really to complain about.

Only a few weeks and I practically live in it!

Love the A. I. feature and hands free phone. The back has become my second office/changing room. (I am small and if you knew where I worked you would understand.

Best bang for the buck

I purchased used and went ahead and got synthetic oil,changed the engine filter,cabin air filter,and added nitrogen to the tires for maintenance free driving. I have had no issues at all with this car. At first the drivers seating arrangement felt awkward to me but in time you'll adjust and learn to appreciate it. I love all the features that you would miss if you didnt pay attention. The drive is great and although gas mileage doesn't meet competition it is still a great ride and not too far off. I would buy another one without hesitation. Just do your maintenance and take care of it and itll take you far.

Beautiful and Comfortable Car

I can't really touch too much on reliability, because I have just purchased this about 3 weeks ago. It is a very comfortable car and I am finding that there are tiny things about it that have just been such conveniences. An example would be that it has many compartments for item storage, and they are textured (lined with rubber or something), which keeps my stuff in place due to the friction. It seems like almost every piece of this car was built smart, and has more functions than you'd initially think. Another thing I really appreciate is the lumbar support settings for the seats - totally customizable. Also, the heated area of the seats includes the lower back, which has been so nice (not to mention, many people who get in my car say that they are the warmest heated seats they've ever sat in).
