  Shake....Rattle ....Roll - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By Mike Coleman - October 21 - 3:44 pm

  There is something going on with the Tires......BRAND NEW TIRES......And the Shake....Shake ....and Shake....Have been Balance by everybody....Belle....Discount....VW....Everybody....Now I told that Continental Pro-Contact is a Poor Tire for the Tiguan....It wont stay Balance..I have been to the Dealer 3 Times in 2 years...Plus to Belle Tire and Discount Tire. They all tell me it the Tires and Volkswagen knows about the Problem and wont do anything about. I was told UN-OFFICIALLY, That when I need tires....Buy Michellin. They ride better Im told. If VW knows Continental Tires are bad then swap them out. Why make me suffer for 2 or 3 years waiting for the tires to wear down.....Hey Volkswagen REMEMBER FORD/FIRESTONE.....Im Going to keep writing about this problem.

  Air Condition - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By dn5053 - May 31 - 6:11 pm

  The German engineering on the air conditioning has a lot to be desired at 90 degrees and up - very inadequate!

  Best In Class!! - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By robloe30 - March 6 - 11:41 am

  I normally read reviews, not write them but after noticing all the poor reviews the Tiguan has gotten lately I felt I owed the car some "REAL" opinions. We bought our Tiguan in May of 2011. I gotta admit, I thought it was just "OK" at first because after all it is my wifes car. We were replacing an 09 Honda Pilot EX-L because the Pilot was just too dang big. My wife wanted something smaller, and she seemed to always admire the VW. The Tuguan now has 6,200 miles on it and I couldnt be more impressed with the car! The engine is just absoultly amazing and a blast to drive. It seems like I found out soemthing new about the car everyday, truely amazing! just an absolute head-turner! Love it!!!!!

  best in class of small SUVs - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By docbeaumont - January 15 - 10:37 pm

  my not so old explorer died suddenly and we had no option than getting a new car. contrary to their ad, fords escape was a bare bone for 400 lease, plus "some other"....rav 4 is nice but quite "wild" and my wife got scared to drive it...nice car if you are into something with bigger trunk. by chance we got to service our jetta and while waiting i have discussed with the sales person....again true as advertised, sam e as 3 years ago with our jetta. they matched toyota price of a car that is immensly more mature and settled. it is a joy to drive it and the satndard looks like an audi class....driving is unbelieveble, you can turn it almost on the spot, sprints into hwy fabulous. benchmark SUV

  Love the Tiguan - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By Hectares - December 31 - 10:00 am

  I just got mine, but I was sold 10 minutes into the test drive. It accelerates nicely with minimal turbo lag, handles well on curves, and is very comfortable to sit in.

  fun to drive but will cost you! - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By nymom2 - November 16 - 3:01 am

  We have leased our Tiguan for almost a year and it is a very fun car to drive - zippy, responsive, excellent in the snow. Our biggest complaint is the gas millage. Our 2003 Honda Pilot needs less refueling. Also, the cloth interior get messy very easily. It sounds like a petty complaint but the car always needs vacuuming. After four months we had an electrical issue that was covered under the warranty. It made me glad we leased, not purchased the car. The trunk is not big enough to hold a set of golf clubs. My husband finds the drivers seat uncomfortable. As far a styling goes, this is not a poor mans Audi A5 but a souped- up VW Golf.

  9 Months old and outside door handle breaks off. - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By gjoes - October 3 - 4:52 am

  Well this is irritating and one of the reasons I had reservations about buying a VW, weird little things breaking, knobs falling off, etc. I had a new Jetta in 1998 and my trips to the dealership for little things were endless, including the starter going ont within 6 months. I was assured all of these issues were taken care of, and obviously theyre not. Once the door handle was in my hand (not on the car) I noticed that it is actually plastic. Plastic? Hmmmm. I should have kept my Jeep.

  3 Tiggs - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By VW4ever - April 14 - 10:00 am

  We have had an 09,10, and 11, Fantastic car. Very Sharp, Sporty and Comfy. Hard to find one but its early in the model year. I think it has finally caught on that it is an awsome vehicle. Did marvelous in last yrs blizzard. Its really not that bad on gas when you consider the power it has! Buy one you want regret it!

  Six letters....DSG & TDI - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By Rickallen - January 18 - 10:00 am

  I was initially impressed with the amount of room in this car. Im 64" and to have the drivers seat comfortable and be able to tolerate sitting behind myself is rare. Drawbacks: One, this car needs a DSG transmission. The 6-speed auto feels elastic and "gummy". Getting back in my Jetta TDI with DSG felt like night and day. Two, the TDI engine would be the perfect combination of torque and efficiency for this size, yet its not available. With DSG and TDI combined this would be an amazing vehicle, yet VW wont sell it here. A real shame because without those the car is mediocre. Ill gladly pay the cost diff to have them. Listening, VW?

  Tiguan best in its class by far. - 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
  By exiled - October 12 - 6:50 pm

  Just got this new a week ago (I love the newly designed grill/face) I have been doing a side by side comparison with my wifes BMW X3 and so far the Tiguan is proving to be the better ride.
