We have a Jetta and Tiguan, one 60k miles the other 10k miles, no problem and only normal maintenance like oul changes, tires, and brakes on the 60k mile car. The best part is that maintenance was covered up to 3years or 30k miles

I wish motor week would do a real long term test starting at 100, 000 miles and going till at least 200, 000 miles so we can see all the engineered to fail bits last.

I was generally impressed with the Tiguan, having driven it several times. I wouldn’t call this a compact SUV. It’s got a lot of space. The power is a bit deceptive. I never felt like it was inadequate. And for a 4 cylinder, it was pretty quiet and smooth. The only thing I really didn’t like about it was the auto stop/start.

very impressed with my 2024 sel rline 4motion

And what about the rain and water intrusion into the cabin?

[eddieg]

…..get used to seeing that orange “check engine” light on, especially after warranty expires. 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

[jessieharbinjr.]

Looks dated for 2024, and the 2.0 turbo has a terrible reliability reputation once you’re out of warranty.

[mr.boostang]

I'm sorry but did he say that correctly? 184hp from a 2.0 Turbo in 2023??? How did they manage that low of a number when cars in the 1990s were pushing more hp from the same set up?

I think it's time that VW brings the new Tiguan revealed in Europe a year ago stateside unless the automaker wants to kill off all its gas-run cars in North America except for Golfs GTI and R as well as the Jetta GLI and then focus on EVs such as the ID4, ID7, ID Buzz, and even the ID Scout lineup there.

[Iamnatewayne]

I had a 2022 same spec, love this car. It feels premium. I only left it behind because of how underpowered it is. I can’t believe they have this same car in Europe with the golf R motor 😢 shame because in my opinion this looks better than the Audi SUVs

[dohc]

The Tiguan is a respectable CUV but has been and always will be overshadowed by its American and Asian competition. That being said, the price is high.

[digitaldoc]

It wins the award for the most underpowered 2.0T on the market.

[denault]

The Tiguan iD3 is a EUV while the Teguan is ICE, no comparison.

[johnj]

I really like it, but don't trust VW at all.

[Travisj]

How is this any type of "test" LAME

[stevemcgowen]

It’s a pointless vehicle now that the iD3 is out.

[Butchcub]

what a purdy vehicle, to bad its junk.

[CB]

More useless crossover crap that the automotive industry doesn't really need in the real world. 😂

[ERJ]

Imagine making an 8” infotainment screen in 2024 and thinking it’s acceptable. Audi/VW sucks.
