2011 VW Tiguan

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:

Not a big surprise really. All VW models will soon get the same front end. Even the Passat.
But by that time, we will be getting VW’s new “for the US only” mid sized sedan. So we won’t see the revised Passat over here.
The great looking CC will still be sold in the US.
I must say, I haven’t seen that many  Tiguans around where I live.
And they’ve been out for a while…

  1. Toyota SAI headlights. I guess VW said well if the Tundra the Iroc concept's face VW will take the SAI's face.

  3. Who cares, the Tiguan is another unreliable, overpriced VW flop.

    You have to step up to the $27,000 SE ($30,000 for AWD!!!!) to even get AWD since you can't get the base model with it. The SEL doesn't even come with AWD, and will run about $34,000 with it.

    I have seen about three since their release.

    If I were in the markert (which I am not) I would much rather have a CR-V EX-L. With a CR-V, I would own a vehicle that gets universal praise, will hold up over the long run, and have great resale value when I go to sell it. VWs have TERRIBLE resale value.

    Who is going to spend $36,000 for an optioned TINY ass VW????

  4. Actually 6:38, VWs have very good resale value. And if you're a CR-V owner, which has not received universal praise, you have horrendous taste and are certainly not a VW customer.

    CR-V…no style, no performance. It's a sheeple car.

    So what exactly are you trying to say here???

    The Tiguan has no sales because it is overpriced and has no style. People would much rather move into a compact luxury CUV for the Tiguans money. X3, GLK, Q5, RDX, XC60, etc.

    The Tiguan is a joke. The CR-V is the best selling SUV in America for the PAST THREE YEARS. But according to you, more stylish = more sales. So why isn't the Tiguan doing so well???

    I own an '05 330. I wouldn't be caught dead in a VW.

    VWs do NOT have good resale value, I don't know what you are talking about. Far from industry leading, you can pick up a one or two year old Jetta or Passat for 8K off of sticker or more.

  8. I'll echo what everyone else said.

    There is no big surprise as to why this isn't a big success. This isn't a very strong addition to the CUV game, it is better than a Rogue or an Outlander but it also costs far more.

    My coworker has a 2009 and with less than 20,000 miles he has already had quite a few problems.

  9. Biggest problem is price. The Tiguan is way overpriced.

    Very little difference from a GTI, except for price, and unnecessary SUV appearance.

    What from VAG isn't overpriced – unless you get no options on say a Rabbit, anything you buy from VW seems to get pretty close to 30K.
    Anyone Jetta Sport Wagon? TDI Anything?

    I've owned a few VWs and an Audi. None of them 'reliable' but all of them nice, fun, and enjoyable

  10. Add me to the list of people who will buy a CR-V over this.

    I had a VW 6 years ago. Passat V6 4Motion, it was my first VW and it will be my last. I had nothing but problems with that vehicle.

  11. I didn't believe that other person saying that these are REALLY that expensive, I though it was BS.

    It is NOT BS, a f*@king BASE AWD model is nearly $30,000!!!! That is CRAZY.

    I'd rather have a RDX one you get up to 30 grand.
