The little SUV that can

Bought mine in 2017 and now have just under 30k miles on it. Wonderful car that is extremely practical and fun to drive. These late model PQ35 Tiguans are really solid cars- VW had all the bugs worked out of this 2nd gen chassis version by this model year. Has plenty of power, decent gas mileage (23 mpg around town and 30 mpg hwy), transmission shifts smooth. Drives extremely well in snow (especially with Nokian tires). Rear seat room is very good for a car this size (fits my large teenage sons no problem) and it's super easy to fold the rear seats flat. Best feature is the front passenger seat that folds forward flat- this allows you to carry some impressive cargo. I have carried five interior house doors (30"x 80") in this car, carried 68 8ft long deck boards and all kinds of lumber/building materials. There is no other car in this size category that can do that. Overall a very practical car that is sized just right, fun to drive, very solid feeling, and performs very well in poor weather. My only complaint is I wish the cloth seats were less prone to staining and I wish it had LED headlights. If you can find a used low mileage one with a Premium Package buy it.

Purchased a 2017 VW Tiquan two years ago with 27000 miles. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, the instrument cluster had been replaced, the intake manifold gasket had been replaced and the ac compressor had been replaced, all before 27000 miles. Within 2 years of owning the VW Tiquan, all wheel sensors had to be replaced, the start/stop button was replaced, the radio entertainment complete system was replaced, a new battery, and the AC compressor broke again. This would be the third AC system placed in vehicle. The dealer didnt give a crap and I called VW corporate and they didnt give a crap. I will never buy another vw. Prior to Tiquan, I had a Toureg which was just as bad.

Great car, we own luxury cars and this one rides and handles as well. Only problem is passing on highway, blind spot have to turn head to look as well as squat down to look through side mirror, to make sure you can enter other lane. Handles fine once you know how to look.
