I bought a Tiguan 2yrs ago and have 0 regrets I’ve driven VW s for 30 years, doing the proper maintenance and using oem only replacement parts I have not had any serious reliability issues 🤷🏽‍♂️ cool review 💯

Picked up a 2023 Tiguan SE trim about a month ago. So far, very pleased. Completely agree with all your points surrounding how it drives and handles. The big selling point for me was, as you mentioned, the ride and interior space. My only concern going forward is the reliability, will be very interested to see how well it holds up over the next few years. Great review as always!

Great review young man, you hit the nail on the head with all your comments. Getting ready to update to a 2024 R Line SEL from a 2018 SEL and couldn’t be happier with the product. If you want a vanilla, soft ride, everymans compact suv buy Japanese. If your seeking a bit of thrill and excitement, go German!

Thanks for this video, very nicely done. I am considering getting one of these for my wife next year.
I have a 2020 Tiguan SE and I really like it a lot so far. That said, I prefer to drive it most of the time in the custom setting with Sport Steering and the normal setting otherwise.

Just had two weekends of extensive driving (over 1, 000 miles each) and the car was great

No regreats. Fits 7 people. Only issue the ateering shaky when i break since i boght it. But stil happy

Great review. I bought a 2022 and absolutely love it. Tremendous value for the money and very roomy. I would buy another or upgrade to an audi since they come from the same overall company.

I’ve have 2 of them I have a 2018 sel r line and a 2023 r line and have had 0 issues with both.

Having quite a lot of mechatronix failures on the DSG in the UK. Still a lovely car to own. Bought my new 2023 r line in March

Haven’t watched you in a while…..🎉Great review as always.

I bought a 2020 SE and loved it. Bought a '24 SEL R line and gave the '20 to my son. I'm 70 and the '24 is my 15th VW. Too bad VW has wasted so many resources on the EV fiasco.

[sijanser]

When I see the price of the car I'm crying because you pay over €40000 for the basic version in Belgium

In general wireless 🛜 charging pads all across the board in all brands sucks.
They just make sure it keeps the phone 📱 ON.
I would be surprise if I get 5% more battery after 30-35 mins !

Great review! In Canada we call the model you drove the Highline R. Of all the comments I read people are really stuck on the lack of horsepower. I owned the Golf GTI a few years back & that thing was a rocket. Do you think the horsepower in this Tiguan is lacking? The vehicle has so many options I like, I’m considering purchasing one.

They need to bring the proper tiguan R from Europe

[scottstevenson]

I miss the old style of Tiguan. 2014 to 2017. Prior to 2014 there was issues with the timing belt guides until 2012 which when they fail they trash the engine. then in 2013 they changed and improved he timing chain guides but threw in the old timing chain guides into the container of new ones so the "cancer" goes into 2013. The style from those years look more European. They look like chevy suburbans now.

Essential to have a DSG gearbox with smaller engines to derive max power... VW : simple and sturdy with safety!
Build quality of VW has jumped up since 2010 onwards and drive comfort is comparable to Audi... In my opinion

[FerbyArisaka]

VW is the best, i watched once the fully modified Golf R beats tesla in drag race 😁

[jenolson]

The seats these days are getting more uncomfortable.. I drive for long hours and I feel like you can find plush seats anywhere anymore!

[lartstnc]

I have a 2021 SEL and there's nothing fun driving it 😂 it actually almost killed me a few times with tremendous lag. The 2.0 lacks so much power it's ridiculous. Trying to turn off my block on a small incline, it laga hard. Sport just makes it overly sensitive and tries too hard. The center console is lacking. The armrest is so damn small, you need to be child sized. I will say it's the fast smoothest infotainment I've used. My 21 even works with hand gestures which is interesting .

[ravipeiris]

Great overview. Kevin, do you feel that vw is competitive in the US market in general?
