The VW Tiguan, what can I say about this car. Not too sure, You know what, I am still trying to find out why this car is one the road. Personally I see no advantage of having it, but guess the pony look is appealing to some. It looks very ill proportioned. It seems like BMW, Audi and VW missed the mark on this car, BMW with the X3, Audi Q5 and then VW the Tiguan. Ghastly looking cars. Some would say an abomination. A bit brutal , but I am just saying... I suppose one has to have an acquired taste to really appreciate these cars. My theory is " polish a turd, still a turd" to be honest. the look is not appealing at all on the VW Tiguan, but nonetheless VW were confident enough to put it out there, clearly they have something that will not do any damage to their reputation.
The inside is very deceitful, not at all like what you expect after seeing the horrible exterior of the Tiguan. Very spacious. You could have five big adults in this little shoe box with no problem. I am sure I mentioned this with the Touareg, that somehow the driver always finds it hard to get into the best driving position. steering seems a little too far forward still. Once you have done the right adjustments you are nearly there. Not there but nearly there, but thats all you can get, regards to driving comfort.Controls are in the right places so you are not reaching out for unreachable buttons or dials. Very impressive interior in the Tiguan.
The drive was pretty ordinary. Bearing in mind this is a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine and that's the base and all there is for the VW Tiguan. 200 horse power. This car does 18 mpg City and 24 Highway on average, varying of course, depending on how heavy your foot is on the accelerator. There are nifty little things that the Tiguan does which impressed me like the electronic hand brake, which you engage when you stop and as soon as you put your foot on the accelerator the hand brake disengages. You also look at the Tiguan and it looks like it can flip easily, but no, I managed to go through a round about at 40 mph and the drive never felt like it was mismatched on any of the wheels at all. On the freeway you still have that extra in the little Pony. Much more than I expected. Not sure I need to take it off road in the US though ,with all these monster trucks out there. Don't want to run risk some off roader running me over.
Safety is standard with airbags and such. Nothing too outstanding on this little match box. there is sufficient trunk space for a small family but thats about it. Will do well in Europe this car, not in the United States. Not the best small SUV out there like some reviewers are saying. Again its an acquired taste this VW Tiguan.
I really dont like this car truth be told and would not recomend it to anyone at all. Retails at just above $23 000.00 and not worth it at all.
Can I tell it as a royal SUV?
ReplyDeleteThis is really bright looking. It's look is mind-blowing. Price is also handsome.
Is it the only color of this VW model?
In reference to looking its features, I can say this Porsche as one more globally suitable model.
Its comes in a variety of colours pal. Not impressed by this car though.
