Great performing rough rider

It rides a bit rough, but handles great. If you want a smoother ride, don't get the R-Line.

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.

VW Tiguan is a great SUV

2014 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The VW Tiguan is good, attractive design inside and out. Seats fit great and feel tight and safe. Visibility from drivers seat is good. Built very well: materials and design are excellent for the price of the SUV. Performance of the TSI is superb. The only thing I do not like about the VW Tiguan is the road noise when on most highways going at 60-70 MPH. Ride is great and comfort is great. VW intentionally has more road noise because they do not add the extra weight that comes with sound proofing their autos. The weight causes gasoline milage to go lower so they opt for better milage.

Nice Car but Under Powered

I've had my 2013 Tiguan for 2 months now and the new car shine is wearing off. The car is under powered and lacks any pep. Conversely, to another reviewers comments about the weird shifting being improved. It must have been really bad in the past because my Tiguan really shifts weird, especially on hills. The Tiguan suffers from an issue in the 4Motion control in that it cannot distinguish between a steep hill and unsafe driving conditions. The car slows down dramatically taking away acceleration control up/down on steep hills. Not a car for the mountains!

Bought 2014 Tiguan in May. Have driven 9700 km in 3 mos., mostly hwy driving. Previous 3 yrs drove a JEEP Grand Cherokee Overlander. Disliked it lagged when speeding up to pass a car. My 2004 Toyota 4-Runner had awesome pickup! Tiguan's has good pickup. I drive 13 hrs, & found I couldn't stretch my legs, so my left knee would stiffen & bother me. Putting my seat back, made me too far away. I'm 5'3". Vehicle went in for oil change Aug 6. It drove perfectly prior; after it shakes like I'm driving in an earthquake at 80 km/hr and gets worse by 100 km/hr (60mi/hr). It feels dangerous to drive now. Taking it back in Monday morning to rectify whatever is the problem.
Goes through shoes like Imelda Marcos!!!

Don’t buy one. (that’s period). My Ram Ecodiesel gets 5mpg better, still has original tires (Tiguan is on third set of $1500 Michelins at 47 k). Rear window spontaneously blew into thousands of pieces last summer (I was standing behind it, had been in parking lot in tx summer and parked it in our garage; exited vehicle and heard a “pop”...just disintegrated!). In the state of TX, must get car inspected prior to registration each year...took it to vw lewisville @ 47k to take care of inspection and 50k service. Dealer called to say upper contol arm and bushings shot at over 500 bills per side. Tigger has had four thrust alignments due to my concerns about tire wear (wondering if it is four motion related), but each time alignment is “green”. Going to open a lemonade stand and wring this damn car dry!
