Great SUV for the price
I looked quite a bit for a small SUV that is still roomy but not too big and bulky. The carried over 2017 Tiguan Limited into 2018 is just right. The price was lower than anyone else at less than $23,000. That included a lot of options, like 17" alloy wheels, a large 6.5" infotainment screen, Apple car play and Android Auto, roof rack, first aid kit, all weather rubber floor mats that snap in nicely, rear cargo area carpeted mat, large road kit with jumper cables, rain coat, gloves, universal combo type tool with plyers, another smaller first aid kit, foldable reflector triangle, etc. Also keyless entry with push button start. The back seats have lots of legroom and you can slide them forward or back. Really nice SUV for the price. I highly recommend this model before they are gone. The new model 2018 Tiguan is too big and more expensive.

Just what I was looking for...
The car is solid. And powerful. I have to be careful when accelerating while making a turn from a stop. Road noise is minimal. Vehicle corners well. All of the tech works as advertised. Premium gas... you do what you have to do. Mileage seems slightly better than advertised. Love the premium package add-ons: car-play, key-less entry, push button start, etc. etc. Just enough stuff. Not too much. Recommend the 17" alloy wheel upgrade. Great pricing. All in all, just what I was looking for.

What Happened To The VW Car-Net Option?
When I purchased the 2017 VW Tiguan Limited 2.0T with 4 Motion the "sticker" on the car said it comes with the "VW Car-Net" option. After I got the car home I found out the option IS NOT included. I called the dealership who said Volkswagen of America made an error on all the "stickers" for this model and since the option is factory installed noting can be done about it. I contacted Volkswagen of America who said "in this case it is misleading" and said nothing can be done about it. I looked at the "sticker" on another VW car that actually has the option installed and the only difference is on the car "sticker" with the installed option it says "VW Car-Net (equiped)". In addition, the gas millage is very low and the car only can use Premium Fuel! Be very cautious when purchasing this car and ask questions! Update 2/3/2020: VW of America" is still misleading customers buy stating on the car sticker that the "VW Car- Net" option is included when it is NOT INCLUDED! Read and ask questions if you are buying a VW and the car sticker says this option is included - IT IS NOT INCLUDED! *****8/7/2021 UPDATE - The car now has 61,000 mile on the odometer. The engine now sounds like a lawn mower. VW cars used to be good for at least 100,000 miles before any real problems. Very disappointed. This is the 4th VW I have owned and will be the last. The myth of VW quality is long long gone! ******* 2/9/2023 Update - The stickers on VW cars are still misleading when it lists Car Net. Volkswagen of America simply doesn't care what they tell the customer. The car has 84,000 miles and the loan is paid off. When the car finally gives out my 20 plus years relationship with VW will be thankfully be finished.

Great Little Buggy
I purchased the Tiguan in February 2017. Its price had been reduced to $21,500 from $26,800. Its fast and has very agile handling. Its tall and visability is great, fuel economy is so so. For its size the cargo space is sufficient, and its easy to park and manuver in town. The interior (black and tan). For the money, hard to beat.

Classy, comfy, and smooth and easy to drive
This car handles better than my former MDX. It gets about 20 miles to the gallon on gas. Cargo space is a little tight, but passenger roominess front and back is plentiful.
