Sporty handling & a peppy quiet engine

The VW TIGUAN is not too big and not to small outside & is roomy enough to fit all but the Tallest passengers in the back seat comfortable. The engine is very quiet & smooth yet acceleration is more than adequate to merge quickly to freeway speeds. The turbo helps driving up steep roads and inclines a breeze.

A Ti GUANO SHE’S NOT!!!

I got a GREAT DEAL on a Lease Return so That effects my opinion of the Vehicle 🚗. With that said, let us decide it’s quirks: (a) The Tiguan does not like the cold. The car will appear lifeless and groans/ makes funny noises when her temp is under 190F (b) The electronic sensors are Possessed!!! Without explanation Idiot Lights/Sensors come on and then go out upon restarting (c) Do not drive the car without a Jump starter in the trunk. Since virtually everything is electrical in this car your Tiguan won’t fire up without a fully charged battery. I have been stranded TWICE in a single day with a dead battery, once having listenened to three lousy songs on the CD Player. For $100 pick yerself up a NOCO Genius Jump Starter!!!

I bought this 2013 VW Tiguan in November 2020 with 62,000 miles on it. It looks, drives, and rides like new. I had to find a car in a hurry, and tried this on a whim just because it was in my price range. I'd never even been in one, but was very impressed. Since it was only the second car I'd looked at, I took a couple of weeks to look at more, but kept coming back to it. My husband said I was nuts not to buy it! I did and am glad. The size is just right, and both my husband (5'11") and I (5'1") can find perfect driving positions. The visibility is wonderful all around, unlike others that have upswept side windows and small back windows. It has great pick-up after the initial lag, excellent handling, and a quality, but not plush, interior. The controls are intuitive and not confusing like those of some newer vehicles. Absolutely love the heated seats! I like the "stiff" ride, and the AWD is great. I've driven it in heavy snow and slippery roads twice so far this winter, and it hasn't strayed once. Gas mileage isn't fantastic, but I don't put a lot of miles on a car, so I'm fine with that. The SE has just enough bells and whistles, but not too many. I do wish it had the back-up camera, but I plan on adding that.
