If you are unfamiliar with the word “tiguan”, there’s a reason for that: it was invented by Volkswagen by blending “tiger” and “iguana”. The car itself is known for its very German driving capabilities. It is one of the Volkswagens with a more uptown style, and as such it is sure to be a favorite of those who look for luxury first and foremost.
The exterior of the Tiguan is one of the flashiest and most attractive of the SUV’s on the market today. Reviewers usually find the design to deliver as much fun and style as one could wish in an SUV. If you are interested in a sunroof, you can request this customization. This SUV is one that is geared toward the grown-ups instead of catering to kids. That alone puts it in a class that is poised to leap to the tops of the sales lists.
The cabin can easily accommodate as many as five people. The rear seats can slide or recline, which is a great feature to have in case of road exhaustion. However, the backseat space provides an amount of space slightly less than average. The front seats offer you plenty of room and contribute an airy feeling. The Tiguan is a smallish SUV, yet it still manages to offer great seating.
While the Tiguan has yet to participate in safety tests, it appears to have plenty of safety technology to go around. There is an anti-slip regulation, and an Electronic Brake Pressure Distribution. You will even get the benefit of an Electronic Stabilization Program that will also help your brakes perform to the top of their ability. These factors add up to an SUV that will be quite safe to drive under nearly any conditions.
If you end up buying a used Tiguan, you should be sure to look for coolant leaks. Get an expert mechanic to look at the car you are considering to check for any problems that may escape your eye. If you can find someone who is familiar with the Volkswagen family of cars, that would be even better. VW’s tend to need specific care, as well, so think seriously about buying an extended warranty. Most auto shops and dealerships are not able to properly take care of your Volkswagen Tiguan.
You can do your part toward maintaining your new car by checking the engine oil for amount and cleanliness. If you notice that the car is noisy when you drive on a stretch of road that is less than smooth, that may be a sign of suspension problems. Get this looked into before the problem becomes any worse. Your Tiguan is a special car; keep it in the best condition possible.
It gets an average amount of miles per gallon. While it is not the best bargain as far as gas mileage goes, the benefits of the Tiguan far outweigh this small concern. If you are looking for a great SUV that will last you and look great, too, check out the Tiguan.
