The Tiguan is a small SUV. It is ideal for anyone who wants and SUV but does not want to feel like they are driving a truck. For an SUV, the Tiguan has a smooth ride. It has a turbo which gives it a lot of pick up, but due to the turbo, the Tiguan also requires premium fuel which adds to the expense of running the car. However, the Tiguan is nice to look at and has a somewhat distinctive look that most American SUV's don't have now American auto manufacturers appear to be copying the styling of Asian manufacturers.

Overall I am very impressed with my Tiguan. It handles well especially in snow. The body is tight (not tinny) as is the suspension. The Tiguan comes with many options but can also be purchased "bare bones". Being a smaller SUV, it uses less gas. The back seats fold flat for more cargo space.
