We love this car....all round satisfaction till last week when the permanent part of the glass roof exploded whilst driving down the highway at 115kph..outside temp of 0.05....scattering glass all over the occupants in the back of the car..VW is now balking responsibility for coverage, and not being very nice about it either...HUGE change of attitude from when we bought the car...to now..when we need help..

Love this car...until the sunroof exploded traveling down the road at 115 kph..outside temp..0.5 This was extremely scary....there was a loud exploding sound and down came the glass all over the occupants of the back seat...thankfully no one was cut.....we have since learned VW did a service job on the sunroof BEFORE we bought it.at 59,000 km ...it is presently at 69,000 km....which could be the cause of the exploding sunroof......now.they are balking at taking responsibility for replacing it....even though it it still under warrenty...not happy with VW ,A huge change of attitude when they are called to take responsibility as from the time when they sold us the car....

I sold my Audi TT to buy a grandma car for my nine month old grandaughter. I love the Tiguan SUV. It drives smoothly, is great on gas, has a very serviceable interior yet has a look like the Audi..and I am thrilled with it.

The base model is affordable if you can find one used. It has won Top Safety Pick, and the base model has lots of great standard features. I like the design and it's a pleasure to drive. It handles well and has some pep. One downside is you have to use premium gas, which today means about a 15% premium every week or about $600 a year in cost although the gas mileage is better and you have less repairs to worry about. A very good utility vehicle.

Ever since I purchased this vehicle I have had nothing but amazing things to say about it. From it's fantastic fuel economy (well over 600kms/tank), to it's incredible horsepower... it's a totally reliable well-taken care of vehicle. I am going to be incredibly picky as to who purchases it from me, because I absolutely love this car, but when I finally do sell it, I will be incredibly sad to see it go. It's been such a joy driving.
