My door handle on my hatchback has been repaired and

My door handle on my hatchback has been repaired and replaced two times and now is gone again. It is a 2017 Wolfsburg and I am not pleased with the cost of 1200. I wouldn’t mind but they are only lasting two years. Ridiculous. Can’ use my hatchback.

Disappointed

This car has given me problems since I had it. It’s expensive to repair. It’s difficult to repair. It has something breaking all the time! All the time!!! Not worth any money!!!! If the car ran as good as the accessories and interior and paint, we’d have a WINNER, but NOT

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan review: Our expert's take

By Jennifer Geiger

It competes in a crowded class that includes sales leaders like the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4. Compare all four here.

For 2017, the Volkswagen Tiguan’s base S model gains Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, which mirror select smartphone apps on the dashboard touchscreen. Compare 2016 and 2017 models here. A new Tiguan is coming soon, though VW has released few details.
