Vastly Underwhelming

This vehicle desperately needs a beefier engine in order to haul its 5000 pounds around without strain. The turbo doesn’t help much either. In fact the engine lag is a huge nuisance. Handling is light and the vehicle’s overall road manners are numb. The touch screen controls are maddening. The interior fit and finish is mediocre at best and the doors have far too much plastic. UPDATE: I have had the Tiguan for nearly 6 months. My original review still stands. Much room for improvement everywhere.

I bought my 2021 tiguan this pasr September 2021. Within 500km it needed an engine change. Within 4000km it had a duel line leak badly. Its had several sensor and alugnment issues as well. VW refuses to admit it's a lemon so I'm trading it in for a reliable Jeep.

This is my first SUV. I have enjoyed it thus far except for one problem for me. I moved and drove the car from Huntsville,Alabama to St. Petersburg, Florida. The seat leaves much to be desired. I have a bad back and I drove the 11 hours in 2 days. I feel the seat is very cheaply made. I have to trade this car in becasue the seats to me are not co fortable at all. I have driven the VW for the past 10 years. But the seat in this vehicle is not supportive enough for ones back and long drives. The best VW I have ever driven was the VW CC.
