Used 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan for Sale

My VW Tiguan is a great little car. It a four wheel drive fun car. It has the quality of German engineering. Things are laid out very nicely on the dashboard. One gets high quality that is seen in US luxury cars with this VW. It has heated seats which are great on cold winter days. It has vent in the glove compartment that will keep a cold drink cold without the need of a ice chest. Having multiple cigarette receptacles in the driver and passenger seat allows the techie to have many electronic devices in use in this SUV.

I loved my Tiguan the day I bought it, and I love it even more now, five years later. I bought it because it had the roominess of an SUV but handled and drove like a well-made sedan. The Tiguan is a four-cylinder vehicle that fools you into thinking it is packing a much bigger engine under the hood thanks to its turbo. Though technically a compact SUV, the interior never feels crowded and is capable of hauling five people plus luggage quite comfortably. Flip the seats down and make it two people, a couple of dogs and gear for the weekend.

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan S has many of the amenities and comforts of a car that you would expect to own for year. The Bluetooth audio system is convenient, the seats are comfortable, and gas mileage for a small SUV is adequate. However, there are several reasons to avoid this vehicle. One of the first is the active carbon build-up that occurs in the engine. In order to achieve more power and improved gas mileage, the fuel is injected in a way that doesn't allow oil to be washed off the cylinders. As a result, the oil bakes onto the engine and needs to be removed by a costly procedure every 40,000-60,000 miles. This procedure is approximately $900. Additionally, the rear brake rotors need to be changed every time the brake pads are changed. Due to the electronic parking brake, this cannot be completed at home. Expect to pay nearly $700 for this service. Overall, the vehicle is not nice enough to incur these outrageously charged services.
