Used 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Consumer Reviews
Like the *occasional* 3rd row
I just got divorced and have 3 kids and was debating between getting a gas guzzling 3 row suv in case I get a girlfriend or something down the road in a year or two (i tend to like to drive cars till they die) or sticking with a two row. This was a good compromise for me. The 3rd row is great for stuffing their friends back there once in awhile or when my youngest is causing problems and needs space, but I wouldnt rely on the 3rd row for regular use. Its small even my 10 and 12 year old fit but say it feels scrunched, and its also not particularly easy for them to get in and out. But again if you just need it to haul an extra kid or two from practice its nice to have. Acceleration felt really rough and unpredictable the first couple thousand miles but smoothed out over time I think the car just needed to breakin, also once you get a feel for it it is more predictable too but like the professional review uneven acceleration is probably my biggest annoyance with it, and while not as bad in time its still more noticeable than any other car ive owned. Using higher octane fuel might help some too, sometimes I feel like it does and other tanks I havent. Also the engine stops when you are at lights (you can turn the feature off) at first i hated it but then i figured out you have to just let off the brake and wait about a second before hitting the gas then its smooth. It handles nice but its not particularly fast. Overall id recommend it if you are on the fence between needing a 3rd row or not. 20k miles and no problems so far. I usually do a couple mpgs better than epa ratings, low to mid 30s highway and usually upper 20s city but my city is fairly open and not horribly stop and go.

Not a refined vehicle
Pros: Nice riding and handling vehicle. Looks good on the outside. Cons: infotainment system is a train wreck and VW knows it. Interior is the land of cheap plastic. Engine isn’t smooth, sounds raspy and is slow!! My adaptive headlights don’t work. VW service hasn’t been great. Suggest Kia, Hyundai or Mazda.

For a brand new car it has had so many issues. The major issue is the acceleration, sometimes when I press the gas pedal it is non responsive and will move then stop. It has stopped in the middle of the road at times or even turning a corner, other times it has lunged forward fast. I also have issues with the radio not turning on and the screen going black as well the parking sensors malfunction.
