At first sorry for my English. Owning VW's for over 28 years among other makers I have to say this. Beside some problems, these are the best cars you have to buy if you earn money from hard and descent work. VW's are not for finesse, handling or value for money demands but they are the best "comrades" every day. My conclusion from life is if you can't buy an expensive rwd German car go and get a VW especially from Wolfsburg plant factory . You ll never regret it. If you make money "from air" buy anything you want, it doesn't matter.

As a lifelong VW owner and fanboy....I'm finding it tough to get excited about almost any VW other than the GTI. In trying to appeal to the American buyer, it's lost its charm. The VWs offered in Europe are WAY, WAY better than the American versions. We never even got the modern Scirocco. Such a shame. For the love of God VW, at least offer us the European models, even if it comes at a cost premium. They're not "bad" cars and the new warranty is amazing. They just don't have the quirky charm anymore. Again, except the GTI...and hopefully the Arteon.

John Davis is right about the new look Volkswagen Tiquan. It maybe a "compact SUV" in name, but it looks and even feels like a Midsize SUV. It's the size of Hyundai Santa Fe/Kia Sorento. Picture the Honda CR-V with three rows. This vehicle and the last gen Tiquan are not bad vehicles.

Nice looking and functional, we test drove the Tiguan and were suprised that the AWD was extra money, others in this class it is mostly standard with Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 and that is important in the NE USA. Good warranty but I don't like the idea that it's made in Mexico, not a fan as that will likely lead to even more future problems and maintenance which isn't cheap for VW.

You want tech / room and cheaper. My SE loaded out the door. $25 k. Oh and the 6/64 bumper to bumper warranty. Mr Subaru Forester you don't have that do you ? Or Mr High VW maintenance ? Sorry what costs. Try it you will buy it. My first VW and it won't be the last. Thanks Piazza VW / Langhorn PA (I wasn't paid LOL)

I have a Tiguan as well. I too was considering a Subaru and almost rolled the dice. However, at the dealer I was talking to the lead mechanic (while the manager was writing up the numbers) and he told that cvt issues and head gaskets keep his shop very busy. He advised me to consider another brand. I slipped out the back door and left the dealer right away.

This came out before the atlas. And this car is plenty huge on the inside but MUCH EASIER to park. The reason i chose the Tiguan is because of its small size, more attractive( in my opinion) styling and great gas mileage.

its a nice small suv buts it is just too slow 0-60 8.8 seconds for a 2018 automobile is a joke. How is one to merge on a parkway? I live on Long Island the parkway ramps are very short you need some good power to get on safely. 1/4 mile in 16.8 again its just too slow. Why not offer a faster engine option?????
