2009 VW Tiguan. Billed by Volkswagen as the GTI of compact SUVS, the sporty Tiguan offers roughly the same compact dimensions and fuel economy as the industry leading Honda CR-V, but in a package that is decidedly more sporty and upscale. While the Tiguan offers features unavailable on the CR-V, such as a manual transmission and a massive full-cabin glass panel sunroof, it also costs significantly more. In fact for the price of the entry-level frontwheel-drive Tiguan, consumers could pick up a nicely equipped CR-V EX with all-wheel drive. Still, the 200-horsepower turbocharged Volkswagen Tiguan has many desirable features, including a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system capable of real off-road adventures.

VWs are quality built cars! good choice!

I just bought a Tiguan Comfortline (only drove Acura before this) and I love that it's a perfect size -- not too big not too small -- perfect for suburban moms who are too cool for minivans or large SUV's ;) No complaints except for 2: it's a wee bit pricey (but worth it) and also you're tempted to speed because driving it is really fun. In fact, I got my first speeding ticket in 20 years!!! :( damn

...and limeys should learn from yanks how to build cars that don't leak oil and coolant all over the garage floor.

look at the VIN... make sure you don't get one of these 'quality built cars' made in russia or china. haha

I am interested in this SUV, I just wanna know what you guys think, is it too small. I just don't get the feeling that it's an SUV, I mean it looks like a car that was just lifted too much.

VW's are typically love at 1st site but want a bad divorce after about 100k miles kind of vehicles.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

VW are good with styling and handling . Too bad I can not say about their high pricing and high , reliability, or high car maintanence.

Americans should learn from the Brits on how to film interesting car reviews. This is just a dull stats reading

[Beenanddoneit]

@tabamoura My apologies to you. I wonder if the confusion comes from differences between the UK and USA. In the UK a GTi is a fast Golf (Rabbit in some countries?) and is never classed with the 4WD Tiguan. I do know the chassis of a Tiguan is also stronger than the standard Golf. The main thing is that the Tiguan is a completely different vehicle in so many respects to a GTi - as it is known in the UK. Sorry if I was rather harsh in my first comment.

[tabamoura]

@Beenanddoneit Actually the Tiguan is built on the same PQ35 platform, so at one point they were exactly the same ....

[Beenanddoneit]

The idiot reviewer mentions GTi - this has never been a GTi and was never intended to be.
