2010 Volkswagen Tiguan

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan?
Solid and smooth ride. Great size for two empty nesters, versatile with lots of utility but not oversized or cumbersome.

Great fuel economy for this type of vehicle but very good performance as well.

The seats are extremely comfortable especially as compared to previous Japanese models we have owned.

We have driven in quite severe winter weather with the OEM tires (Michelin all season) and have never had difficulty with traction or stopping, although this is more a tribute to the rubber vs. the car. That said I have to keep a close eye on tire pressure as it tends to drop a bit over a month. If it came with any other make of tire I would probably opted for a set of 4 winter boots.

Massive sunroof almost makes our convertible redundant.

Cons: How would you improve 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan?
Outward styling is a bit off, especially the front overhang. The newly released 2012 seems to have corrected this.

It would be nice if Volkswagen would put more effort into setting up a trailering system.

2010 Volkswagen Tiguan Review:
This was our first venture into buying a European car and I would buy another V.W. in a heartbeat if the need to get another vehicle arose.

Great ride and handling with good performance and economy. The realized fuel consumption well exceeds published figures if driven at calmly at legal speeds. We have the Highline version and the bells and whistles are a bit of an excess but makes the vehicle so much more fun. The construction of the vehicle is also very substantial, you get the impression that a heavier gauge steel was used in construction.
