Recently purchased a car I wanted, as opposed to the car that fit my family and lifestyle. Kids have their own car, now Mama has one she loves too!! It was between a Mazda Cx-5 and Delilah. She won hands down. She's a little longer has a small 3rd row seat for those few and far between days when I have to be the mom mobile again. Panoramic sunroof and all of the bells and whistles!! I love love love her!!

Driver comfort!

I have a 2021 Tiguan SE 4motion with a 3rd. Row seat, let me start by saying it’s a solid car, spacious, very comfortable on long trips for all occupants except the Driver ! Gas mileage is great I am getting 33 mpg on highway driving 25 city, the air condition is great, the back seat vents make a big different. Road noise is almost minimal. A panoramic room was a must for me, but with Texas heat I wished if I didn’t get it. I am not a racer but the engine is little underpowered 184 horse power is definitely not enough for acceleration, but on the Highway it’s good for passing other cars. The things that I love about Tiguan: 1- Stability 2- Gas mileage, you definitely get 35 mpg with cruise control at speed 65 mile per hour. 3- spacious 4- plenty of legroom front and back seat only, 3rd row forget it. 5- very comfortable seats, please read note #6 on the things I don’t like. 6- Clear front, side, and rear views The things that I don’t like in the 2021 Tiguan. 1- there is NO end call button on the steering wheel ( my 2020 Passat has it ). 2- mine came with an extended remote engine start, it is an extra device beside the 2 key fob, so you have to carry the remote start device plus the key FOB. My Passat has a remote start button on both the key fobs. 3- if the air condition is on Auto mode, you will not be able to close the recirculating air, as soon as you switch off the recirculating air the air condition goes to manual. My 2020 Passat you can close it in the auto mode. 4- the engine is underpower for initial acceleration, I believe 30-40 extra horse power will be perfect. 5- the 3rd. Row seat is for small kids during city driving, but definitely not a road trips, as for me I don’t care because I will never need to use the 3rd row seats. 6- PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to NO.6, I am 5ft 10 in. I did a 15 hours road trip the arm rests are NOT comfortable at all, the center console is more to the back so barely my elbow can rest, as of the driver door arm rest is it low, so you will not be able to rest your left arm on it. Unfortunately I did not notice it on my test drive because it is a deal breaker for me. Now I am driving it with 2 pillows on the right and the left to rest my arms. If you are fine with NO.6 go ahead and buy the car, I do recommend VW Tiguan.

Nothing but problems

I have had this car for about 6 months and it is currently in the service department for the 4th time already. The oil sensor went out after a month, all the buttons on the drivers door consul went out at the same time a month later, low oil level warnings kept showing up even though it was not due for an oil change for another $5k, and now recently the air conditioning in the vehicle stopped working. You can hear the fans going but nothing comes out of the vents. Every once in a while it blows cold air and then it just stops. For having this car for only 6 months and it being in the service department already 4 times it makes me want to get rid of this car as soon as possible. These are not major items but just last week the car was at the dealership for 2 days and the day after we got it back and left for a road trip for a few days the A/C went out immediately. So a week later it is back at the dealership. This car was bought brand new. I love the way it looks from the exterior and the interior of the vehicle is comfortable but beware of these issues. I regret purchasing this vehicle and will be contacting VW to take care of this.

This car is the best car I have found for the price with the best features. It drives amazing, it handles like a tiny vehicle, and it is a beauty. The 3rd row is also an amazing addition and is great if you have kids that like their own space!
