So Stylish and So Fun

I’m obsessed with this car. The corn silk leather interior, the stylish exterior, and the zippy and fun way it drives are all a huge plus. And I was able to get a great deal on one with low mileage.

Big Zip for Small $

Everything the good reviews say is true. Even the base model S is well equipped. But I’m here to talk performance. This little hatch has a 200 hp Turbo under the hood. It’s built on the same basic chassis as an Audi A3. Sure it has horrible mileage in the city and needs premium fuel. But this car can get out of its own way. Zippy.

My third Tiguan

This is the third Tiguan and 8th VW I’ve had in the last 40 years! Needless to say, I’m very happy with Volkswagens! I had my last Tiguan only 4 months when I was rear-ended and it was totaled. I purchased another Tiguan exactly like the other only in black. As a single woman, it is just the right size for my needs without the feeling that I’m driving a tank! Love the drivability, ease of handling in both city and interstate driving. Great on gas mileage, too.

I Love My Wolfsburg Edition VW Tiguan!

This is the nicest vehicle that I have ever owned. I love everything about it. It is stylish, sporty, comfortable and very well made! The all wheel drive and amazing stereo are the icing on the cake! Love it!

Nicest car I've ever owned

This car is stylish, super comfortable, and has tons of bells and whistles that don't come as standard in other cars I've owned. It has decent get-up, and it's great on gas.

No mechanical issues.

This vehicle is decently quiet on the road; has better acceleration than a new 2019 Tiguan that I recently test drove; has excellent interior ergonomics; excellent side & rear sightlines; but is rough riding unless the pavement is smooth. For traction capability in snow, Volkwagen's "4-Motion" system is 2nd or equal to Subaru's system.

Great vehicle!

I really love this vehicle. I wasn't sure if I would like the 4 cyl turbo because I am used to a 6 cyl peppy VW engine. But it has great pick-up and drives great.

A VW Gem

This sassy, crossover SUV is fun to drive and well equipped. It's just the right size, and the panoramic moonroof is splendid - perhaps my favorite feature. I absolutely love my Tiguan.
