  My Lemon - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By J. Petrus - June 9 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this car thinking German engineering is built strong and tuff. One week from owning the car the breaks start to squeek loud( high pitch sound).I took it to the Van nuys dealer and they said it is break dust and it will go away.We had a crv before that and never had a problem, Regretably, we are looking to trade this car with eithier another crv,rav4 or cx7. I guess the German cars are not so strong after all.

  2011 Tiguan 2.0L turbo rattles!!! - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By howieb38 - April 7 - 5:37 pm

  I bought this 2011 Tiguan because I also bought a 2010 VW Passat wagon. Unfortunately the Tiguan has an annoying rattle in the engine when ever I accelerate from a stop and cuts out at about 3000 RPM. Ive had it to two dealers and they claim its normal for the engine?? When I explain that I also own a 2010 Passat with the exact same engine and theres no rattle sound, they say "That is normal for this car". I cant believe that VW wont acknowledge that theres a problem. I would return it and buy another brand if I could, but after going back and forth with VW for three months, Im stuck with this lemon. Its a $40,000 mistake. Its also the last VW Ill ever buy.

  450 miles and stuck in garage - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By Gail - February 11 - 6:56 am

  I bought the car less than two weeks ago. Memorial Weekend - I got stuck in a parking lot with a parking brake malfunction. Cant see service for two day? I miss my 13 year old Toyota which had no mechanical problems.

  Car feels slippy... - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By RKaye422 - October 10 - 6:10 pm

  Im getting GREAT mileage on my Tiguan, more so than some of the other readers. HOWEVER, they seem to be enjoying the ride alot more than I am. This is my 2nd VW, after owning a Passat for 6 years and Im actually pretty disappointed. Ive been driving for 20 years, everything from a 66 Mustang to a Dodge Ram, and I feel like this car is going to go off the side of the road all the time. It grabs every nick in the road, it feels like driving on an ice slick over our grooved highways in Vegas, and driving it in the rain at high speeds is a white-knuckle occasion for me. Is anyone else at all having these problems? Ive taken it to the dealer once already and they said this is normal???!!

  Fun & Easy to Drive - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By Furryshoes - May 7 - 11:53 am

  The Wolfsburg is a bargain because you get the same look as leather without paying for it. I also got the all-wheel drive which has been SWEET along with the huge sunroof. The ride, handling and looks are the best part.

  A Great Choice - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By rchanatry - March 23 - 11:09 am

  Ive had my 2010 Tiguan SEL4Motion for a year and have driven it through a heavy north east winter. FANTASTIC in all snow conditions with standard Pirreli all seasons. The engine and transmission are flawless. Transmission as smooth as my BMW X3. So many high end features..xenon adaptive headlights w/ turn spot light, electric folding heated mirrors, touchscreen navigation, heated washer nozzles...amazing amenities. My only complaints: 2 minor rattles (seat belt, and ac vent) and Touch screen nav/radio unit freezes after phone call occasionally. (Turn off car, open door, restart fixes it.)

  Fun to drive - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By cantwaittodrive - January 19 - 9:56 am

  I love driving the Tiguan. I was worried about the 4 cyl performance (had a 6 cyl previously) but this vw shifts seamlessly and still has plenty of power. The ride is super smooth and I love the exterior styling. Test drove the Ford Escape and Mazda CX-7 and the Tiguan beats both hands down. Feels like a solidly built vehicle, corners nicely and the controls are easy to access.

  Disappointed - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By paul m - January 10 - 9:03 am

  While the Tiguan looks good and is very comfortable to sit in, I do not enjoy driving it. The throttle response when first pushing on the accelerator pedal is non existent, and just never feels normal. VW service says that it is. (Issue addressed in review dated 5/5/10). And changing the vehicles settings or convenience features always requires pulling out the three ring binder that is the owners manual. I am disappointed that we did not buy the Honda CR-V, a much better value for the money. (Though we would then see our car everywhere). Since my wife likes to sit higher, she drives the Tiguan. I much prefer driving our 4 year old Acura TSX.
