Pros

• Ride and Handling

  The Tiguan handles very similarly to my midsize sedan but is very smooth. It grips corners and takes straightaways head on.

• Interior Space

  Despite it being a compact to midsize SUV, it has a ton of space! I’m 5’11 and don’t even have to push my seat all the way back. Even so, there’s a ton of room in the back and I’ve got the model with the 3rd row.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Coming from an entry level sedan this car is the Taj Mahal. Apple CarPlay, Start/Stop function, overhead interior night lighting within the panoramic sunroof, an absolutely beautiful car. The stereo is incredible, but still quiet outside of the vehicle.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  Coming from a sedan, I had hoped for a midsize SUV with a little better fuel economy. It is better than most, usually garnering 22-26mpg depending on how much time I spend on the highway.

• Braking

  Volkswagen takes some getting used to when it comes to gas and break. They are very touchy on the gas and break pedals, despite my model being a 2018. I think that has to do with the way the pedals are connected but either way, with some adjustment and relearning, its become natural.

• Cargo Space

  The cargo space is phenomenal unless you have the 3rd row up: then you’ve got about 6in width of space between the back of the seat and the trunk door. I got a cargo organizer and it’s been great, but if you want to haul a lot, you won’t be able to have that 3rd row up.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  I love the fuel economy.

• Visibility

  People see me coming!

• Cargo Space

  There’s plenty of space in the cargo area and the 2nd seats fold down for more room.

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  Oil changes are expensive.

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

  lots of features

• Ride and Handling

  drives excellent and easy to control on the road.

  great fuel economy for a SUV

Cons

  wish it had a start button on the key

Pros

  door rattles sometimes when the music is too loud.
