Awesome SUV

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The acceleration is a little slow, but not as bad as some say. The ride is super and the interior is very classy. I am please with the handling and tech in the car. Android Auto is a plus and the large screen is very nice. Over all I would rank it higher then other SUV's I have test drove. The Rogue, The Edge and The Equinox doesn't hold a candle to the VW SE Tiguan in my opinion.

This is our second Tiguan, and our fifth VW. My only disappointment is the power. Our last Tigger would smoke the tires if needed. The new one, you better allow some space! Just rolled 51k miles. Still Lov'n It!

With over 6000 miles, the Tiguan continues to be faultless and a joy to drive.

Smooth ride, great handling

I traded in my rav4 for the Tiguan and I couldn’t be happier. It is such a smooth ride, well thought out interior and very roomy passenger backseats. The technology can be overwhelming but once you learn how to use everything, it makes sense. The car play is a great feature. I highly recommend this vehicle.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

I have owned multiple VW Models from GTI and currently own a 2017 Passat, 2013 CC and now the 2018 Tiguan. I gave the 2013 CC to my son as he got his license and to be honest the CC has a stage 2 tune and cannot be compared to the other cars. The 1.8T in the Passat has better performance than the 2.0T in the Tiguan, but the CC just seems to be built better and not sure whether it came from Germany is the reason rather than the plant in Tennessee. I do the like the space that the Tiguan has and great for carrying people and golf stuff and it rides very smooth. The computer is telling me that I need an oil change already in 12 days. Did VW switch to every 5000 miles instead of 10,000. I have always had great service from VW of Fort Myers and they take very good care of me and my cars and the plus with the Tiguan is the long warranty.
