The VW Tiguan drives and handles very well. The whole family loves it. I would surely buy it again.

I purchased the 2014 VW Tiguan S FWD new in August of 2014. The car has 51,100 miles. Just replaced the front and rear brakes and rotors. Purchased Zimmerman Rotors and Brembo Ceramic Pads. We haven't had any problems with our Tiguan.No Check Engine Lights. Plus the Light Bulbs are all Original. Drives great! This is one Fantastic VW! Owned a lot of different VW's this one is the BEST!

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

VW Tiguan is a great SUV

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.

Didn't last long before trouble prevailed!

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.

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!

2014 , SEL Motion,48000 highway and local suburbs miles ONLY-all warning signs popping over the dashboard , very carefully driven, not an everyday car use....ball bearing down, WSS sensor down....brakes and rotors need to be replaced....$1100 + tax ball bearing and sensor, &+ tax brakes and rotors, $130 oil change(from $80 since the last time) -dealership costs....my Nissan Rogue-138,000 miles-oil change-$35, never had a problem with sensors or ball bearings, rear brakes and rotors replaced after $80,000 miles, front brakes-after 125,000, costs much less too....guess it speaks for itself....simply does not pay...

Great SUV but the cargo space is quite lacking compared to the competition (50% less space!). The wheelbase also makes for a choppy ride on rougher roads. Wish that VW would make the Tiguan longer so that it would give a more comfortable ride (both in interior space and road manners).
