Stylish, Reliable, Comfortable

My 2018 Tiguan is perfect for everyday errands but also for driving in rougher terrain as it is all wheel drive. The gas mileage can?t be beat when compared to other small SUVs. Highly reccommend!

Love this car

The Tiguan is a great car. I love the option to add a third row when needed or use it as trunk space. The back seat is spacious for my kids and accommodates their car seats well. Drives great and turns on a dime. Great value for the money.

Zippy Grocery Getter

Crisp, simple, cohesive lines and styling throughout. Plenty of real world usable room ie. kids, shopping, groceries, gear etc. Basic and simplistic interior styling with every button in a naturally obvious location. Fun to drive. Feels sturdy and secure with just enough zip to get through traffic. Personally, I could stand a lot less tech (I own comfortline trim level). I?m not a ?tech person?. And, expect an almost annoying amount of turbo lag and clunky trans shifts. In a small town, it?s tolerable. ( Don?t have the opportunity to really open it up and have any fun often). If lived in a large city with freeways, cloverleafs and zipper merges, I would not have bought this car. Too much low end bogginess.

Most reliable car I've ever own.

This car met all of my needs. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is smooth compared to others cars I've ever own.

Gorgeous vehicle- electronic issues

I love my vehicle, I think it has a sleek exterior and functional comfortable interior. The leather seats and driver assist package make this vehicle great to drive to work with, as well as road trips. Unfortunately, speaking about my own experience, there are many electronic issues which can be timely to fix, and no compensation given by the dealership or Volkswagen Canada. At one point, my brand new vehicle, which I was paying for was undrivable due to no error of my own, for over a month. Bought vehicle April 21, 2018- and between then and May 28th I had been to the dealership 3 times to deal with electronic issues such as warnings, and apple car play. May 28 through to July 3- I was unable to drive my vehicle, and it sat at the dealership due to a recall and electronic parking brake issues July 3- I got my car back and shortly noticed the warnings, and inability to release parking brake issue had started up again July 9-12 Car back at the dealership to repair electronic parking brake again.

Sporty Awesome SUV

I bought the R-Line Tiguan and love it!!! The styling is super sporty and modern. The panoramic sunroof is a big hit with all of my passengers. I really like how well the car handles and all of the electronic features. The gas mileage is excellent for an SUV. The only down side is that I am overweight and the seats are a smidge too narrow. Still comfortable but I have to wiggle around to be properly situated when I first get in. This car fits 5 comfortably but I?m not sure why they added 3rd row seats. Theat last row is not usable if you are older than 5 yrs old.
