Good sports SUV for the money

Great driving experience as it can expected from German engineering. Miss heated automated seats that I used to have with previous Golf .

Quality Smaller Vehicle

We have an F150, perfect for those times when a pick-up is a must have. For day to day use, weekend excursions, etc. the Tiguan fits the bill! Fun, sporty, plently of room for dogs, packages etc. Well made. Love the sun roof, heated seats, leg room.

Beautiful, luxurious and fundamental

I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a crossover type car... It is very simple, drives beautifully and fits everything you need without being huge and bulky!!

Great performance and value

Excellent design, assembly and ergonomics. We purchased the 2017 Mk 1 2.0 litre TSI Wolfsburg Tiguan to replace our 2011 TDI Golf which was affected by the diesel emissions buyback. The Tiguan exceeds our expectations in performance, handling and comfort. The fuel consumption cannot match the TDI but is actually quite good for a TSI turbo, yielding much better overall numbers than stated on the NRCan data. The car is so much fun to drive!

Best Fit Car for Me: second one I've owned

This car is a perfect fit for me in all respects. Gorgeously made, classic VW styling, superb comfort, and has life-saving power to hole-shot away from deadly trucks on the highway. This is my second Tiguan. Very reliable.

Great car!

I purchased a used 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan with only less than 8k miles. The inside has Black and Tan leatherette. Plenty of leg room anywhere you sit in the car. Reliable and smooth to drive. If your looking for a small SUV I definitely recommend this one!

Most beautiful/reliable car that I have ever owned

This car is honestly perfect for anyone! It is LESS THAN A YEAR OLD! Has less than 10,000 miles on it, and it still looks brand new on the inside and outside. There is a lot of leg room in the front/back, and the trunk has a lot of room for storage as well!

Wouldn't buy again.

2 complaints. 1. The A/C vents in the dash cannot be adjusted to blow air below your forehead. This is a deal breaker. 2. In 10 months, the vehicle has depreciated way more than any other vehicle I've ever owned. If you like a different vehicle more frequently than not, then stay away from one of these.
