2011 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
The German engineering on the air conditioning has a lot to be desired at 90 degrees and up - very inadequate!
best in class of small SUV's

2011 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
my not so old explorer died suddenly and we had no option than getting a new car. contrary to their ad, fords escape was a bare bone for 400 lease, plus "some other"....rav 4 is nice but quite "wild" and my wife got scared to drive it...nice car if you are into something with bigger trunk. by chance we got to service our jetta and while waiting i have discussed with the sales … person....again true as advertised, sam e as 3 years ago with our jetta. they matched toyota price of a car that is immensly more mature and settled. it is a joy to drive it and the satndard looks like an audi class....driving is unbelieveble, you can turn it almost on the spot, sprints into hwy fabulous. benchmark SUV

2011 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
The Lease on my wife's Rav 4 was coming up so
we finally decided on the Tiguan. I neve owned a VW and I have to say that
this car to me and my wife is far superior in quality, fit and finish, acceleration, style, overall feel, than the Rav 4. Yes we did sacrifice some trunk space but kids are grown so it didn't matter.
The passing power is like a 6 cylinder and really moves thanks to … the Turbo and More importantly the 6 speed transmission which is not offered by most of the competition.We got the S 4 Motion and the Standard Equipment was more than Japanese cars offer,Blue tooth,aluminum wheels and privacy Glass to name a few. The interior is gorgeous!! My wife loves it, happy wife happy life
fun to drive but will cost you!

2011 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
We have leased our Tiguan for almost a year and it is a very fun car to drive - zippy, responsive, excellent in the snow. Our biggest complaint is the gas millage. Our 2003 Honda Pilot needs less refueling. Also, the cloth interior get messy very easily. It sounds like a petty complaint but the car always needs vacuuming. After four months we had an electrical issue that was covered … under the warranty. It made me glad we leased, not purchased the car. The trunk is not big enough to hold a set of golf clubs. My husband finds the driver's seat uncomfortable.
As far a styling goes, this is not a poor man's Audi A5 but a souped- up VW Golf.
