2013 VW Tiguan

I love my 2013 VW Tiguan S. It's build with quality, and great design on both the exterior and interior. With the manuel 6 speed transmission, the pick up and handling are excellent, which makes having to use premium gas much less painful. The engine is extremely quite and very responsive. Cargo room could be a bit more generous. Overall a great vehicle!

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 car to replace a Jeep Liberty with 215,000 miles on it. After much research I found a black VW Tiguan at Glenwood Subaru. It seemed to be the best deal for the amount I was looking to spend and I absolutely loved the model. After getting the car inspected by a local shop, it proved to be the best bang for my buck. Very reliable and it was in excellent condition. Couldn't be happier with my decision! From test driving to signing the final paperwork, it was the smoothest process and @subaru_jason (YouTube) was to thank for that. He not only made the process easy, he made it extremely fun and we had lots of laughs throughout the couple days we got to work together! I would definitely recommend Jason Arrington if you're in the market for a Subaru, or whatever else they may have in the lots. You won't regret it. Thanks again to Jason and GW Subaru for helping me acquire my dream car! #subaru_jason

Not what it used to be

Fun to drive, but not reliable. I assume VW used cheap parts on this model. Expect huge repair bills. Things in my experience prone to breaking: water pump and cooling system.

The perfect car for city drivers

My fiance wanted an SUV via a lease, I wanted a CC. Knowing we couldn't afford both, the Tiguan was the perfect domestic compromise. I've seen in many reviews how the Tiguan is a poor value and I absolutely disagree. We wanted AWD, Sunroof, Bluetooth, a peppy engine, fuel efficiency, and a reasonable payment. The Tiguan S delivered on all these save fuel efficiency (20/26 awd is passable and not a deal-breaker). The SEL may have a bloated price, but the base S is definitely a good value. The Tiguan's 2.0 TSI is a great engine. The car feels sporty but also compliant over rough roads. The cargo room leaves much to be desired, but living in the city the maneuverability is quite welcome
