The Tiger Iguana is the Heat! so I thought

2015 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Not sure why other review companies have given mixed bag of average scores...this SUV is the bomb! The acceleration, the comfort, steering, drive dynamics are all top shelf. If someone is seeking an urban cross over sized SUV, this is the one!!! I had a Forrester that was great, and plasticy. The solid driver confidence inducing ride is a joy. Very pleased with our decision. And … after 3 years, having to replace the intake manifold, it cracked. Thank God for a service plan!
I LOVE my TIGGY! FLAWLESS RIDE!!

2015 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
They call it a GTI on stilts. If you like the VW GTI, but want a more refined, higher sitting ride, look at the Tiguan. This SUV is often overlooked, and I just do not know why! This peppy little vehicle has made me so happy! The interior is well thought out and intuitive, and for a 2015 model, is quite better than adequate for the technology it has. The interior room is amazing - it … looks small from the outside but when you look inside, it seems cavernous! The 2017 model added 11 inches to the length, so if you need more room look at that model. The ride is solid and quiet, and this car is VERY responsive. Mileage is average, but I do alot of stop and go driving - highway driving is always immensely better. Since I use it for work and carry a load of heavy tools, my mileage is not that of the average owner - you will get fairly decent mileage like all the ratings say. My only problems were the gas cap - the gas station guy kept getting the tether stuck in between the cap and mouth of the tank. This caused the check engine light to come on which is an easy fix. Other than that - no problems in the two years I have owned this awesome SUV. Keep the oil changed and tires filled correctly and your tight thanks you by running smoothly. Plenty of amazing turbo power that confuses those kids that wanna race, and never a mechanical problem - NOT ONE! Comfort and a markedly luxurious feel in the fwd model I have, I love this car! The only reason why I would get rid of it would be for a newer one or an ATLAS or TOUAREG! If you are looking for a small (still has LOTS of room) SUV - try a TIGUAN test drive. You will be pleasantly surprised glad you tried it.
