It is a basic small SUV. It gets decent gas mileage, but there are no fancy bells and whistles. It does not drive as smooth as I would like, and at times, I get uncomfortable driving in it for an extended period of time

My wife and I were looking to replace a VW Beetle because we were expecting children. So, the Tiguan turned out to be the best transition from sporty little car to cross-over. We felt that Tiguan drove like the Beetle but had much more room for our children. It's sporty, spacey, and works well in winter. It also can lug enough electric scooters for my contracting work of charging ride-share scooters. My wife likes that it is bigger than a normal sedan but smaller and more efficient than a large SUV. The price was also very attractive. Reasonable value.
