2013 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV w/Sunroof (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Review
Just got the '13 Tiguan S w/panoramic sunroof & mat kit for my wife and we love this car. Small CUV that handles like a sport sedan with all tried and true German automotive attributes: sophisticated & understated interior and exterior styling, satisfying performance & handling and rock solid build.
After driving both the S and SE, the S is already so well equipped incl. leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel, MFD display, bluetooth etc. that we couldn't justify the extra $5k or so for leatherette and lower profile tires. Great ride, great family car, excellent lease deals to be had.

Review
I've had my 2013 Tiguan for 2 months now and the new car shine is wearing off.
The car is under powered and lacks any pep.
Conversely, to another reviewers comments about the weird shifting being improved.
It must have been really bad in the past because my Tiguan really shifts weird, especially on hills.
The
Tiguan suffers from an issue in the 4Motion control in that it cannot distinguish between a steep hill and unsafe driving conditions.
The car slows down dramatically taking away acceleration control up/down on steep hills.
Not a car for the mountains!

Review
My fiance wanted an SUV via a lease, I wanted a CC.
Knowing we couldn't afford both, the Tiguan was the perfect domestic compromise.
I've seen in many reviews how the Tiguan is a poor value and I absolutely disagree.
We wanted AWD, Sunroof, Bluetooth, a peppy engine, fuel efficiency, and a reasonable payment.
The Tiguan S delivered on all these save fuel efficiency (20/26 awd is passable and not a deal-breaker).
The SEL may have a bloated price, but the base S is definitely a good value.
The Tiguan's 2.0 TSI is a great engine.
The car feels sporty but also compliant over rough roads.
The cargo room leaves much to be desired, but living in the city the maneuverability is quite welcome

I test drove the 2012 model tiguan and felt the weird gear shifts. 2013 model does not have it. No vibrations, rumbling or what so ever in any speed.
The panaromic sunroof is gorgeous. Driving is very fun and feels very safe. I can take winding roads with 50 on hwy when the reccomendation is 30. Grips the road and asks more.
Bluetooth is avrcp 1.3 tho, which does not work with iPhone's 1.4 avrcp (ios6) so I can not skip tracks (I can still listen tho)
Interior build quality is very good. Interior looks very cool especially at night, all the red lights inside definitely adds some elegance.
gas milage is not so great tho, I get 22. Its been a month may be will get better...
