Fun to drive, drinks lots of premium gas. Very safe and tight. Noisy transmission. Horrible voice recognition system

Suspicious upon buying one, love it one year later

I bought mine last summer for around $18k ($CAD). It's going for $22k now... wow! It is a premium gas car, keep that in mind, but it's really not as bad as I thought. This is the best drivers vehicle I've ever owned. It's very quick off the line! I'm used to flooring my old Terrain to pass people, and when I do that in this vehicle I'll probably get my licence taken away. The rear seats fold flat, and so does the front passenger seat (super convenient). The interior is SOLID. Soft-touch dashboard, none of that cheap creaky plastic, no rattles, everything just feels solid and premium. Mine has leatherette seats, which are so easy to maintain (literally do nothing). You can pretty much brush off the seat and it looks brand new. Mine has just about 100,000kms on it and it runs and drives like new. Love the keyless entry feature, I always just press the touch-button on the door handle to lock it. Gas milage on the highway is super good, sometimes around 8-9L/100km. This is the PERFECT highway vehicle. Accelerate to 100km/h (60mph) in 7-8 seconds (even faster on a downhill onramp), turn on cruise control and the road is dead silent and SMOOTH. The seats are so comfortable with so many adjustments (regardless of manual or power seat options) I could sit in there for hours. Apple CarPlay is a great added bonus, works great, and the screen is very high quality. I don't know what else I could ask for in a crossover/semi-compact SUV. It looks amazing too. I was surprised to find out mine also has auto-wipers. I just keep them on now, and they wont turn on until it rains. It adjusts speed too depending on how much rain there is, and it does a really nice job! This is the best car I've ever owned.

Sporty compact SUV

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition 4Motion 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This is a good car for the money. It has sporty handling and quick acceleration for its size. The ride is smooth and steering is responsize. Interior uses quality materials. It has leatherette with heated seats. The Panoramic Sunroof is a great addition. Little details like card holders and the Wolfsburg emblem add to it's charm. The controls and tech has enough technological advances and quality to aid the driver but maintains that classic German utilitarianism. Cargo space is lacking slightly and MPG is lower when compared to other SUVs in its class at 20/24 mpg. Premium fuel is recommended and so there is no getting around the fact that it's pricey at the pump. In summary the Wolfsburg Edition Tiguan is a good car with just a few drawbacks.

Traded it for a Subaru

We love it on the highway. Cruise control is precise. Accident avoidance w/ 4Motion is good. 2 Really close calls on the Interstate. Braking & lane changing saved us. No dents. The transmission is a real pain in city driving. Acceleration is not linear. Never sure what will happen when I accelerate slowly. Sometimes it downshifts and scoots, other times, not so much, while it searches for the right gear . Give it a lot of space in stop & go traffic. The electronics are fine for us baby boomers, but my kid brother called it "sparse". Best highway mileage is 29.9. City driving is in the upper teens. Transmission's constant shifting drove me nuts. Finally traded it for a 2017 Subaru Outback.

It seems like VW is trying to win back customers by giving great prices. This model gives a lot of value for the money we paid. Especially like the apple link.
