2012 VW Tiguan S Ride Report/Review

http://carrentingreviews.com/2012/06...2-vw-tiguan-s/

PROS:

- Easy egress for all seating positions
- Comfortable driver’s position, window sill ideal height for arm resting
- Surprisingly generous 2nd row passenger leg- and headroom, raised thigh cushions
- Interior dashboard seems well assembled
- Firm, composed suspension

CONS:

- Brake pedal has tangible pedal travel
- Steering too light, feels even lighter than Hyundai Sonata
- Interior material quality looks cheap, e.g. rearview mirror frame
- Sideview mirrors too small
- Noticeable turbo lag or rough transmission shifting
- No audio control buttons on steering wheel
- Comparatively poor fuel economy
- Rear seats difficult to fold flat due to front-mounted straps

CONCLUSION: Not a bad little SUV, but too bland. Falls short of the 2013 Ford Escape.
