RUN Away From This Vehicle

The hesitation in acceleration from stop to go or in merging or changing lanes is scary and downright dangerous. Acceleration just does not happen for 2-3 seconds! I nearly got smashed by an 18 wheeler coming off an Interstate ramp because the Tiguan did not have the acceleration when I tried to accelerate. While you can turn off the "Start - Stop System" for energy conservation every time you start the vehicle, it gives little added go power. This switch should be called a "suicide switch". You leave it on you will die. This SUV just does not have any acceleration. A couple of good things I can say, it is roomy for a smaller SUV and when you reach highway speed, it handles pretty well. I have leased this for 4 years and have a miserable 3.5 years to go. It is such a disappointment.

MPG much better than published. The more I drive it, the better I like it. Very quiet on the highway. Much higher quieter than the Ford Edge, this car replaced, also much more fun to drive. I have three other VWS, so this one does not have as many miles on it as it should. I still drive my Vanagon quite a bit.

Regret it every time I look at it.

I was such an idiot... I had a beautiful paid off - 2014 Nissan Maxima with 36K miles on it. For some reason I got a wild hair to trade towards the Tiguan. I hate myself for it now. Yeah, I got a great trade-in value towards the Tig - but what was the real cost? 1. It's not reliable - the motor has cut out while driving twice now. 2. You can make a quick turn or merge into traffic with any sort of confidence. The car has a terrible lag whether it be the motor or transmission - it's dangerous. 3. Recalls out the wahzoo! I've had 5 of the total 9 this model has had. 4. Washer Fluid! Yes, you heard me right! Washer fluid. I've owned the car for almost two years and I've put 23 or more jugs of washer fluid. I'll say this tho... I love how it looks and it's fairly comfortable. I've heard some people have had zero issues. I've also heard from plenty of folks who regret it as much as I do. I would tell you to steer clear but maybe you won't get a lemon.

Our orange 2018 VW has had ZERO issues since we bought her (Cecille) new. She now has 50k. The interior is very spacious - one of my favorite parts. My 6' husband has plenty of leg room, and he finds it very comfortable. The heated seats are always a plus. The infotainment screen is huge, and I use it every time we get in the car. I love how the dashboard is very simple-not too cluttered. The only negatives are the start/stop button that you have to hit every time you start the car up and the turbo LAG. This car has zero spunk, and I really wish VW would fix that.

We have owned our 2018 for three months and love it. It’s is extremely quite and drives beautifully. The interior is very comfortable, has clean design and very spacious. My favorite feature is the panoramic moonroof. My only gripe would be that it is a little underpowered.
