SE R Line is nice and roomy for it's size. Cargo space is the BEST for the SUV size!!! The third row is only used in an emergency. The good thing is the 2nd row adjusts forward to allow a little bit more room for the poor person having to ride back there. We've owned the car for 9 months and have used the third row twice. Again, in a pinch and not for a long distance. For some reason the third row flooring is higher than the front and second row which makes the leg space terrible. C'mon VW , you can do better to make anyone who rides in the third row not feel like they're on punishment. Also, the fuel economy is NOT good. VW needs to do better under the hood to improve fuel efficiency. The SE R Line has bigger wheels which means a bumpier ride. If you choose look over ride, stick with the bigger wheels. If you like a smoother ride go with an SE which has 19in wheels. Some interior key features that could use improvement are the following: 1) the stereo sound system needs improvement (stereo volume is way too low at max volume) 2) panoramic moon roof is a bonus, but VW needs to make the cover SPF proof. I live in Florida and when the sun is directly overhead the headspace gets hot due to the panoramic sunroof (the shade that covers it, is mesh-like material) An easy fix would be to add a thicker SPF fabric or make it like a sun shade cover. 3) lacks some ambient lighting throughout the SUV. 4) trunk could really use better lighting than ONE little halogen tucked away in the trunk's side compartment (driver rear trunk compartment). It illuminates a very small area and pretty much nothing when the trunk is loaded. Maybe if that little light was an LED light you could actually see in the dark or an overhead LED light would improve visibility greatly when loading and unloading in the dark!! Makes no sense. Lastly, missing the interior rearview mirror with the modern frameless design, electronic compass, home link and auto-dimming functionality!! Other than that this small SUV is fun to drive. The SE R Line looks super sporty, handles well and is a solid built Suv.

Inventory shortages worked to my benefit. I was looking to trade from a 2016 Jetta to a 2021 Jetta but they didn't have what I was looking for, Saw the Taos and liked it but since its a new model there were no good incentives on it but then I saw this, the 2021 Tiguan R-Line Black and I feel in love with it. I'd thought about a Tiguan but I'd see one and think "no way", then I'd see one and think "hey that looks good". Turns out the ones that looked good were the sportier looking R-Line. I instantly knew this was the vehicle for me, it had everything I wanted plus a whole lot more. Fun to drive, drop it into "Sport" mode and it provides the pickup you need. The only knock on it and keeping it from being 5 stars is the stereo, volume is way too low at max volume, if not for that it would be a 5.

Replaced a Jeep Compass with a 2021 Tiguan SE 4Motion. I must say I liked the Compass but this car is better all around. I tested a Subaru Outback and Forester, Hyundai Tucson and the Toyota RAV4 and a BMW X3. The beemer won out but the Tiguan came home with me. It's just a bit more refined then the Forrester's controls and quality of ride. Not a big difference, but just enough to notice. Same with the Hyundai but surprisingly the Tiguan beat out the RAV4 outright. Just a better car this time around. If I had to give negatives I would say the gas mileage could be 1 or 2 miles better the toyota gets 2 miles better MPG. BUT will accept a more reliable engine for it. And the Cruise Control is too easy to disable. Easy to turn back on but easy to disable if you turn the Adaptive Cruise Control off. Get the All Wheel Drive 4Motion. Works pretty good in heavy gravel with the computerized traction controls.

very noisy ride, a lot of road and wind noise. not comfortable in driver seat. you can not reach the door arm rest and steer at the same time. Very noisy engine 2.0 l turbo. With the 8 speed trans it doesn't know what gear to stay in taking off. Not worth 35K

VW Tiguan SEL is a Great driving and comfortable riding SUV. Has lots of space in the back for storage very roomy second row seats and beautiful exterior lines. I think it’s the best SUV buy for the money.
