I am a faithful VW driver, 4 vehicles over the last 13 years. You either love em or hate em! I buy Volkswagons for German styling, fit and finish, and enjoyable driving experience. They fit a pricing niche above Toyotas and Hondas and below Audi and BMW.The Tiguan is a typical example of a stylish, functional and truly enjoyable vehicle. Among the reasons to enjoy a Tiguan, is not being one of every ten cars on the road being a CRV or a Rav4.

I bought this 2013 VW Tiguan in November 2020 with 62,000 miles on it. It looks, drives, and rides like new. I had to find a car in a hurry, and tried this on a whim just because it was in my price range. I'd never even been in one, but was very impressed. Since it was only the second car I'd looked at, I took a couple of weeks to look at more, but kept coming back to it. My husband said I was nuts not to buy it! I did and am glad. The size is just right, and both my husband (5'11") and I (5'1") can find perfect driving positions. The visibility is wonderful all around, unlike others that have upswept side windows and small back windows. It has great pick-up after the initial lag, excellent handling, and a quality, but not plush, interior. The controls are intuitive and not confusing like those of some newer vehicles. Absolutely love the heated seats! I like the "stiff" ride, and the AWD is great. I've driven it in heavy snow and slippery roads twice so far this winter, and it hasn't strayed once. Gas mileage isn't fantastic, but I don't put a lot of miles on a car, so I'm fine with that. The SE has just enough bells and whistles, but not too many. I do wish it had the back-up camera, but I plan on adding that.

VWs and me

The Tiguan was in poor condition when we met. It had been mistreated and neglected and to date it has cost me nearly $10,000 to make it roadworthy. It is a well-built vehicle and now it drives nicely and behaves. One must find an honest repair shop (best is a VW dealer or approved shop) to have even oil changes performed. I still need to spend $600 or more for other repairs and if it is really worthwhile an additional $2,500 to address cosmetic issues, some of which were the result of inept mistakes by a large VW/Audi dealership. One above repair was for the replacement of both water pumps to correct a longstanding problem of coolant issues. To start with, the woman car sales person who sold me the Tiguan lied to me about why a vibration cropped up when doing a test drive. The eventual corrective action was to replace the front suspension parts, done at my expense . On the positive side, the Tiguan drives well for its size with four new quality 'General' Performance Season tires. The front seats are well made of quality material - either leather or leatherette. A caution for anyone who buys a current VW and especially SUVs is to read and heed the Driver's Manual as it provides special instructions on how to care for Volkswagens. I have had five Volkswagens. A 1956 Beetle - a great car, two Karmann-Ghias - also good cars, a much used and neglected 1970 Squareback, which served me well and which I believe was one of the best VWs ever made. I wish had kept the 1956 Beetle - a truly fine car which had a lot of 'charm'.
