My Tiguan has the 4Motion AWD system, which provides excellent traction in all weather conditions. Stock, it drives quite well, with good acceleration and excellent braking and cornering. It's a very solid-feeling German car, typical of my experiences with VW in the recent past. I have added to it the APR Stage I reprogramming, which made the car CONSIDERABLY more fun to drive, reportedly adding close to 50 bhp and gobs of torque; it's a rocket SUV. In just under 12 months of ownership I've got almost 33,000 miles behind the wheel, and I still love this car. Tows my popup like a champ, drives like a sporty sedan, dusts a lot of ricer cars, and looks cool on the road. A winner!

great design--interior and exterior, solid feel, responsive handling, fun to drive (6 speed manual), good gas mileage, good space, utile, love the gorilla thing in the back

Fun to drive. But not near enough cargo space for a family of three with a big dog. I often find that I can't even fit all my groceries in the trunk. Gas mileage is so-so. Requires premium gas. Nice that VW recommends changing oil only every 10k miles. But requires full-synthetic oil which is expensive. VW customer service is very good.

fun to drive, safe, fast, stable, welcoming, stylish inside out, i just carry out its due services on time- never let me down for 2 years it is a car that does not fail to impress i just love it it is a great deal

Just got it last November and really love it so far. Doesn't handle like a little SUV, the harder you push through a corner, the better! It's very well built, love the HUGE, PANORAMIC sunroof and the fact that I can fit the bikes in the back! It's fantastically quiet with the windows down too!
