I purchased a Tiguan about 4 months after they were released. I initially wanted to go for the Touareg but decided I didn't need something that big and went for the smaller Tiguan instead. This is on the whole a well built car with the usual standard of quality you would expect from a VW. Not top end but nowhere near bottom. However, after owning the car for a couple of months I became less impressed with it. The car has very average handling and rolls around corners pretty badly. The interior is ok if not a bit bland. Fuel consumption isn't great either, I had a 2.0 Tdi and it was averaging about 27 mg, which I didn't think was great for a modern diesel CSUV. ...  Read the complete review

My sister purchased her Tiguan a few months ago, and I have been out in it many times, and also helped with a lot of the driving on long trips too, so I am in a fairly good place to write a review of it. The model is the Tiguan Sport 2.0 TDI 140 PS 4MOTION, a 6 speed manual, and a starting price of £23,775. This sits above the Passat in the price range, but lower than the Phaeton and larger Toureg. Described as a 'compact SUV' it is basically a people carrier with extra ground clearance and four wheel drive. So if you don't need these two things you may as well look at other models like the Passat or Golf. Performance from the 140PS diesel is ...  Read the complete review

We've had this car for 3 months now and it's one of the best cars we've ever had! We've had VWs before, and this is just a solidly built, nice plastics in the cabin, decent seats, good layout of the dash. Plenty of room for the kids in the back, and the boot is plenty big enough for the buggy plus a few bags for weekends away. We'd need a topbox to fit more stuff in for a proper holiday, but it comes with roof rails as standard. Our's is the 2L diesel and it easily does 40mpg, even pushing it sometimes. It's nice to drive, feels steady around corners and nippy too. The electronic handbrake takes a while to get used to, and you need to teach the kids not to pull it when ..  Read the complete review

I purchased this car when it was only 3 months old with around 3k miles on the clock. Had looked at Golf Diesel and also the Passat Diesel. Neither suited my requirements, the Golf was a bit on the small side and the Passat to big. The Tiguan is a compact crossover in the same genre as the Honda CRV, Ford Kuga and Toyota Rav4. The Tiguan feels more special inside, the quality of the materials used on the interior feel and look every bit as good as an Audi Q5 or BMW X1, not many cars can compete in the same league. The steering wheel and dash layout will be familiar to anyone who has driven a Golf, but the Tiguan has some unique touches like the metal surrounds ...  Read the complete review
