You get what you pay for - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By Toothwarrior - November 29 - 8:13 amAbsolute fun to drive.Great handling.Enough power for its class.It actually feels safe.I bought it for The Boss(my wife) and she loves it. Its the perfect mall vehicle even in a snowstorm. Ive had Mercedes ML series since 1990,all 8 cylinder vehicles and this little baby is more fun to drive. Dont hesitate get it.

Great, but whats with the gas mileage? - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By Funkyzeit - August 26 - 2:00 amLove this car. Handles well, fun to drive, easy to park (especially with rear view camera). But the fuel economy is atrocious. How can such a small car, with a 4 cyl engine only get 24 MPG highway? And want premium fuel? An Audi A8, with a 372 hp V-8 gets 27 MPG highway! In Germany the Tiguan is sold with a choice of 5 engines, of course only the least efficient engine is offered in the US. If VW put a TDI in the Tiguan, they would have the most fuel- efficient cross-over sold in the US, getting probably 40 MPG highway.

First VW may be my Last - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By tg3 - July 29 - 9:24 amOwned a chevy and honda previously, went with the Tiguan b/c the manual trans and looks... have had the car just over a year and its been in the dealer for fixes 3 times (my chevy and honda needed nothing but routine maintenance). People warned me with buying a VW, but I was like how can it be so bad if so many people have them?. Well sadly I am finding out. I love the car but never imagined having probs with a car thats only a year old. How can VW shoot for achieving #1 car sales if they make junk? Well, this is definitely my last VW, thinking of trading it for a Rav4 before I have to start paying for the repairs. Sorry to say, I did have hopes of 6 years with this car.

Excellent choice for compact SUV - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By xeuropn - July 27 - 8:40 amMy wife always wanted the VW Toureg, but could never afford one. After watching the development of the Tiguan since 2006, we decide to check one out this past summer. My wife had to have a manual, so we went for the Tiguan. With the 2.0 L Turbo and matching 6-speed, she has not been disappointed. All of the other competitive models (Tucson/ Sportage/ RAV4 and CR-V)seem bland and common compared to the VW. The extra details Auf Deutsch just seem to put it on a different level. This is our first German auto while living here in the US, so hopefully we will have a long a lasting relationship with it. We keep cars for a very long time, so this should be a good test of VWs durability.

Polished, fun and safe ride--a true gem! - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By ct1010 - November 4 - 5:56 pmI was looking for a 4WD car that would be fun to drive, look good and be safe for myself and baby. I tested several cars and researched just about every vehicle under 40K. The Tiguan has a very clean and elegant look--not overdone at all--and a polished exterior as well. It drives great, handles ice and snow beautifully, and has an excellent safety profile. While a bit pricier than your usual compact SUVs (Im talking to you, Honda, Toyota & Subaru), the Tiguan is in a class by itself. If you enjoy having a car that is attractive, fun, safe and not the same ho-hum, check out the Tiguan.

Love my Tiguan - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By John - October 25 - 2:00 amThis is the third VW Ive owned and I love it even more than the others. Nice, clean styling combined with easy to use controls and great performance around town, make the Tiguan a fantastic vehicle to drive.

Best of both worlds! - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By Amber - October 12 - 2:56 amI was in a unique situation when I was car shopping. Living in PA, I had to have AWD or 4WD, and I LOVE German engineering. After living in the south, I wanted fun, too. I traded an 07 Mercedes and an 06 Wrangler for the Tiguan. I looked at Volvo, Nissan, and Toyota, and this was the ONLY one that had the class and luxury that I was used to, while having one of the most competent AWD systems available. I am absolutely thrilled with my Tiguan. It is absolutely one of the most solid vehicles manufactured, and I smile every day I get to drive it.

Great Choice! - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By mda - October 5 - 11:30 pmLets face it-you can get from point A to point B in almost any vehicle. But if you are in the market for a small SUV and want to go in style, you cant go wrong with a Tiguan! Handling is very responsive, the ride very quiet and controlled, and visibility is great, including upward with the full length sun roof. The Tiguan is solidly built and the doors close with a satisfying "thunk". I have had my Tiguan for about 2 months (white gold with cashmere interior-very classy) and am getting 30 MPG (admittedly mostly highway).

Luxury, Small, Sporty, Comfortable - 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
By Happy Tiguan Owner - May 18 - 1:56 amI drove almost every SUV in this price range. VW did not have a competitive lease program until January 2010. Its not as quiet as an Equinox, but quieter than anything else I drove. The ride is sporty, with a tight suspension, very composed. The seats and arm rests are very comfortable. There is plenty of power. The Wolfsburg trim had everything I wanted. Very classy interior. It revs at a higher rpm on the highway than the Passat which has the same engine and trans. I guess thats why it gets worse mileage. Expect around 22 overall and 28 on a trip between fill ups. The 2.0 turbo diesel would be great in this suv. Make sure it has enough room for your cargo.
