I bought it as a sporty SUV, but over the years have been impressed with the low maintenance cost. Am selling now and a bit disappointed in resale value.

I love driving the Tiguan. I was worried about the 4 cyl performance (had a 6 cyl previously) but this vw shifts seamlessly and still has plenty of power. The ride is super smooth and I love the exterior styling. Test drove the Ford Escape and Mazda CX-7 and the Tiguan beats both hands down. Feels like a solidly built vehicle, corners nicely and the controls are easy to access.

I've had my Tiguan for 4 months now and I LOVE it. I find something new to like almost every day. The pickup and handling are wonderful. Not a single problem so far. The sunroof is awesome! The seats are really firm and comfortable. I get much better gas mileage than advertised, I've been averaging 28 MPG.
Great Small SUV, But you Pay for It!

We have only had our Tiguan a few weeks. My wife and I both love driving it. It has a high seating position, lots of headroom, and the full-length sunroof really makes it feel open. Acceleration with the turbo 4 is impressive. I found lots of small but pleasing features as I read through the owner's manual....rear seats adjust back and forth, front passenger seat will fold flat for long cargo, both front doors hold a quart bottle, etc. Lots of nice little features. Gas mileage could be better for a small 4-cyl. but it has more than enough pep. It is usually in front wheel drive....4WD only comes on with slippage...you can't manually turn it on. High end satellite radio is great.
Do not buy the Big Mooroof car.

Less than 60,000 miles and that thing leaks from all 4 corners. The drain pipes are not attached to drain of the mooroof and they detached or got melted from the sun. Engineers should have attached the drain pipes directly to the mooroof with a clamp, no they put a dumb adapter in between the pipe and the moonroof, then the sun deformed the drain pipes a little and it leaks all in the car. I had to carry a tarp with me all the time with 4 bricks and put that over my car everytime it rained, you know how annoying it is to ask your boss to go cover your car from the rain. Garbage luxury, put metal on the roof I hate the sunroof, its too hot in california and I almost never use it. Car is good but a middle schooler designed the roof. Also the Moonroof shade I only used it a couple of times and it completely fell apart, I was trying to cover the big glass hole in my roof ( moonroof ) from the sun and two springs popped out of the roof and that shade fell to the floor, I was only pushing a button for that thing to close, I didn't pull it or obstruct it with anything. You will hate yourserlf for that roof. Also the engine has oil leak from the timing cover and 2 injectors quit working. And it is very hard to replace them, Lazy engineers made it hard to work on this engine. I have owned the car for half more year after the moonroof fix and saw that the springs in the moonroof shade are making a sound like its going to fall apart again so I sold the car. Dont get me wrong this car is a good car but the roof and engine design just ruins the car. If you get one without moonroof and no turbo that will be a better car.

We purchased this car thinking German engineering is built strong and tuff. One week from owning the car the breaks start to squeek loud( high pitch sound).I took it to the Van nuys dealer and they said it is break dust and it will go away.We had a crv before that and never had a problem, Regretably, we are looking to trade this car with eithier another crv,rav4 or cx7. I guess the German cars are not so strong after all.

Absolute fun to drive.Great handling.Enough power for it's class.It actually feels safe.I bought it for The Boss(my wife) and she loves it. It's the perfect mall vehicle even in a snowstorm. I've had Mercedes ML series since 1990,all 8 cylinder vehicles and this little baby is more fun to drive. Don't hesitate get it. What's a few dollars more.
An excellent option

I just get my Tiguan 2 months ago, 2nd VW, my previous was a Passat 2007 with any complains about it, so after the lease end I decide to change it for a Tiguan 4 motion, the safety sensation in the rain and cornering is amazing. The interior details shows great quality. Dynaudio system awesome; and Xenon lights and memory seat as great thing as well.
Pleasantly Surprised!

I religiously research cars so I cross shopped the Audi Q5, VW CC, etc. and was sold on the CC. I never considered to research the Tiguan because I just thought it was too small. I was there to get the CC when I saw this White Gold SEL fully loaded. Took it for a spin and was sold. Bought it right there. Had it for a few days now and still finding things I love about it. I put the car in reverse and was surprised to see the backup camera. I didn't even know it was there till after I bought it. The ride is so smooth and responsive. The interior on the SEL is outstanding. It's nicer than the Audi Q5. I highly recommend this car.
Love it!

I love everything about this car except the gas mileage and the premium fuel. It handles like a dream, smooth ride, beautiful to look at, has a cabin that feels like it's from a much larger vehicle and feels like it's a BMW or Mercedes (for 1/2 the price). I'm always been a fan of VW's and this car is no exception. Loved the 94 Golf, 00 Jetta, and 03 Golf. I kept my Golf I love it so much. I expect the Tiguan to be part of the family for many years to come - unless they sell a diesel Tiguan at a reasonable price :-) I'd reccomend it and buy it again in a NY minute!
