2018 VW Tiguan SEL: In Depth First Person Look

[@LuckyLe7]

Very very detailed review, that is what viewers need to watch on a vehicle's review clip. Thanks!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Neat review, Tyler! The all-new 2018 VW Tiguan seems like a pretty drastic update over the previous model (in terms of technology, space, and looks). By VW adding 3-rows of seats as standard in the FWD models, and optional in the AWD models... The VW Tiguan should appeal to more consumers. Especially, slightly larger families that may not want (or need) to step up to a larger 3-row crossover or minivan. The pricing is a little on the high side, but the amount of technology/quality that the Tiguan offers seems to slot higher than a lot of its competitors. Also, that white color of the vehicle you reviewed perfectly finishes the very conservative/sophisticated looks of this vehicle. Overall, great review, Tyler! Keep up the impeccable work! I cannot wait until I can get my hands on one of these vehicles to review, as well. I am extremely curious as to how it will fare in my review tests! Go, N&T Auto Reviews! 👍🏽

Recall !!! Ambient roof lighting module can catch fire. No known repair at this time, i own one. Just got a recall notice on my 2018 Tiguan, high humidity ?? Can cause the module for ambient lighting to over heat and catch fire. They have yet to tell the public about this danger. Ask ur dealer before u buy it. The car can catch fire!!! Good job V. W. And tell no one right, continue to sell ur fire trap. !!

[@sqwraps5988]

Thank you so much for the heads up. Looked this up and this car has had 7 recalls.

[@anthonyf3621]

SQWraps I wasnt even aware of all of them, what are some, i no one other then what i posted, and somthing with the oil cap. What are the others?

[@sqwraps5988]

www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/VOLKSWAGEN/TIGUAN/SUV/FWD#recalls It's kind of ironic that it got such a great safety ranking.

[@anthonyf3621]

SQWraps wow!!!!!!! Holy shit. The car has some serious !!! Defects. Im sorry i bought one. I need to look at my VID. #. They do nothing about any of it. Do you own one or my waring was all you needed. ? And. T. U.

[@sqwraps5988]

Yes, I am very grateful for your warning! Trying to replace an 04 Mazda RX-8 and it's been one giant money pit with frequent recalls as well. Do not want to make the same mistake!

[@cunchoich]

RIP...Touareg...Mein Beileid. Another great review, Tyler. Is it me, or does VW seem to be downgrading a bit on interior materials, fit and finish? We seemed to be in Porsche territory a couple years back. And Ty, the foot pedals on that Alfa Romeo Stelvio, we're like pieces of art...che bella! The Italians are coming back with a vengeance, my friend. Love your reviews. Keep up the excellent work.

[@tydrives4846]

+cunchoich The new Italian cars are top notch!

[@briangarrow4271]

it is very underpowerd

[@largol33t1]

4:29 - LOL, the dealer forgot to peel off the rest of the factory shrink wrap and must have been in a hurry to get this vehicle on the lot because it's ripped...

[@abdou5554]

I don't recommend any VW gasoline car. I have a Passat TSI 1.8 comfortable car, but you must be only in a flat road. otherwise the engine will not follow.

[@1338-c9s]

Abdellatif Kamali tune it.

[@ulatino71]

Ugly head lights

[@anthony2141]

come on man, why you got your toes in the video. i dont even want this car anymore, damn. come on now

[@jadaawesome2552]

😂😅

[@1338-c9s]

It’s 2018. I think it’s time to STOP with the fucking halogens.

[@tydrives4846]

Halogens keep the cost of the vehicle down, and when they burn out they won’t be nearly as expensive as a projection bulb.

[@1338-c9s]

N&T Auto Reviews oh yea def keeps the cost down. You would need to get the SEL premium just for some nice features like that. Mind you, 40k for a premium Tiguan. Ridiculous. If a Toyota Corolla can come standard with xenons, that should tell you what cost really means.

[@tydrives4846]

If you take an LED bulb and a normal Halogen bulb of equal strength, there is no difference in brightness. I’m not sure I quite believe that they last longer either in certain applications. I see Honda’s that are only months to a year old with the daytime running lights out, which are LED.

[@1338-c9s]

N&T Auto Reviews I too see them go out. But I don’t think it’s the bulb itself, it could be water damage or a hungover assembly worker forgetting to plug it in. (It’s possible). LED’s are way more reliable and throw clearer , brighter light. The cost of making the housing’s / ballast’s is the only thing to take into consideration when it comes to cost. For me though, the headlights and tail lights of a car make or break it. I currently own a MK7 gti and the new facelift models with LED lighting is what’s making me trade mine in today actually lol.

[@tydrives4846]

The LED lights do look better. Good luck with the car!

[@anthonyf3621]

Dont lease or buy this car!!!! I own one, look up its recall notices and defects !!! Buyer beware

[@lewisfilms]

Anthony F has VW addressed these issues? I really want one!!

[@arielb.424]

Has this been addressed? I’m not looking into this vehicle
