VW Tiguan Review--SWEET&SOUR

[@mrp1217]

I traded-in my 4-Runner Trail and purchased an SEL with the 3rd row. Loving the new ride!

[@kellingtonlink956]

Excellent review. You Guys work well together. I love the editing, fantastic shots with very well thought out information. Thanks.

Thumbs up for Sweet&Sour and the scenery, cheers from Vancouver Island.

Nice video with very good production value. Nice audio (Sound Devices?) and drone work.

[@beeharder]

I like the new commentary in the video as well as the camera angles. Think it will get even better as you guys work together longer !!

great review. thanks for posting. You guys work well together. keep it up

DON'T BUY THE TIGUAN AS IT HAS MANY ISSUES AND DEFECTS THAT VOLKSWAGEN CANNOT FIX!! Welcome to my hell. I leased a 2018 VW Tiguan last July and have been battling with Volkswagen since I got it with the B pillar noise (both sides), engine stalling, and the horrible jerking of the vehicle after releasing the gas pedal. There is a factory defect with Tiguans where the pillar was not properly welded together at the plant so when the vehicle's body stresses it clicks. I have taken my Tiguan to get this and the other defects taken care of and Volkswagen has no solution. I have discovered that the local service personnel are just as frustrated as they are stuck waiting on Volkswagen engineers to come up with a solution. I opened a case with VW of America to buy back my Tiguan and after months of back and forth nonsense, VW of America basically said that is the way the Tiguan functions so too bad. Once again Volkswagen has cheated their customers by ignoring a defect and not fessing up to it. So either we all get together and complain to Volkswagen, better business bureau or suffer. This is my 7th Volkswagen and my last. Good luck to all who are suffering with the Tiguans' defects.

[@1rcproductions]

Sounds like my 2001.5 GTI. For a new car it had lots of rattles. Had to replace all engine coils before it was 2 years old. (Luckily under warranty.) For a GTI the suspension was crap. The suspension on my CX-5 is much better. Pretty sure I will stay clear of Volkswagens.

[@ScarlettPeng]

VDO Travels my 2018 tiguan has been fantastic and has not given me any problems after a year, but thanks for the heads up

[@antonthompson7838]

Great video guys in the U.K. this LWB version is called the Tiguan Allspace! The next Volkswagen Tiguan in Europe is going to be like the Audi Q3 with the coupe style rear and that is due out 2022/2023 so that will be interesting 🤔

[@ceazy1861]

At 8:16 the car magically starts driving itself

[@JO_Artificial]

I've found this video today, the work is wonderful

[@Moisi547]

VW and engine lights, it's like a tradition. Great shots, excellent video!

[@DeniJasmina]

Marcel Tansie hmmm. Weird. I’ve never gotten one except during initial startup for a second.

[@talyshasweet2317]

Because the engine wasn't on it was just on ACC so the engine light always appears

[@briansleepylee]

I like the variety of reviews.

[@Anom597]

Did you just put it on cruise control at 8:15?

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

0:12 That's the best part of this clip.

[@Tom-ts2bw]

How do you feel with the lack of a center console to lean on? The storage area is great but my feeling is there is nothing to lean a shoulder on. Totally personal preference I realize but seems like this lack long term may not be so comfortable. I rented a Tiguan for a while and while I loved everything about it, I felt like this lack left the shoulders tired on long drives. Thanks for your thoughts!

[@cockyjeremy]

Once my Golf R is paid off I plan to buy the SEL Premium R-Line. I don't want the 3rd row seating because I'd rather have more room in the back hatch.

[@mistertee5000]

Great vid! Would love to see more Sweet&Sour vids. A comparo of this vs. the new RAV4 would be awesome to see!

[@KT-en8pq]

No mention of the B Pillar rattle?

[@michaellim4165]

This has major intake valve carbon build ups. It's a GDI engine after all. So the more miles you pack on, the worse the build up.

[@tomeisenmenger7048]

Love that color but unfortunately it's no longer offered here in the States.

[@xxgg]

I liked seeing both of you in a video.

[@hector3041]

Jesus! That front rotor already has a deep cut in it.

[@Benjamin-sn5cw]

Great quality camera work! I test drove one of these on the weekend along with an Atlas. I have to say, despite the decent torque figures it felt slow. I think there's a real opportunity for a manufacturer to make a GTI-esque compact crossover. So many of these mini-utes have a sporting design but nothing to back it up. In Europe they've got the SQ3 and soon an RSQ3. BMW really needs a X2M40i. VW, Subaru, Mazda and Honda could make some really exciting mini SUV's if they wanted to. They already have the engines! - but I guess the market just isn't there.

[@mikem2253]

Which did you buy?

[@michaelcolarusso7545]

Interesting. I'm interested in the 2019 Jetta, which uses the same Asin 8-speed transmission as the Tiguan. Some Jetta owners are reporting odd transmission behavior and sounds, particularly in Eco driving mode, so I thought I'd start researching how the same transmission does on the Tiguan. At about 3:30, you begin describing "funny" transmission behavior on the Tiguan, which some Jetta owners are reporting at 3rd and 5th gears, accompanied by a "huffing, breathing, or grinding" sound. Many remedy it by driving in Sport mode, just as you did on the Tiguan. VW is telling Jetta owners that there's nothing wrong with the transmission and the sound is normal. You guys did a nice review of the Jetta but didn't report any "funny" transmission behavior. To your recollection, is what you're describing on the Tiguan something you experienced on the Jetta?

[@rayzong7]

Awesome review video with great chemistry.

[@crownchrist]

Thanks , was looking fir a review that’s not R-line

[@hotte13469]

Great Combo !

[@ezziukas]

Are you reviewing car or jackets?

[@28boxingMP]

It looks nice, but how about the fuel consumption?

[@talyshasweet2317]

**Correction** there is no available heated rear seat option for the 2018/2019 Tiguan's.

[@tsherman393]

Thank you

[@MN-ch7pc]

In your country but in Europe for sure - I do have it in my 2019 Tiguan 😁

[@sergevivier2861]

Could the smaller CUV coming be the T-Roc ? It's a wonderful CUV that's selling well but has a small productions numbers.

[@DerekJamesMandy]

I think this and the CX5 are the best in class hands down.

[@trdartz]

CX5 looks great on the road, everytime I see one I think "wow that design is very coherent and looks cool"

[@ggolds5]

My wife drives a CX-5. It's a really great overall SUV. Really the best all around. However, she and I think a Tiquan is her next vehicle. I had a 2010 Tiquan and loved it. However, like all VW's I've had, reliability is always a rollercoaster. Some years good, some bad. Mazda is generally very good across the board, as are most Japanese makes. Even many American made vehicles are pretty reliable these days. VW is a concern, but I just really like them. It seems that no one has more scandals historically then VW as well. From a design that stemmed from Nazi's , literally. To the Bus that was one of the most unsafe vehicles ever made, I had one and still loved it. Then we can't forget Diesel gate. Just a few years ago. By the way, my father in law had a Jetta Diesel and VW was horrible about taking it back, eventually they did. Then again, nobody is perfect, right?.

[@DerekJamesMandy]

ggolds5 I don’t think their build quality or attention to detail can touch a current Mazda. They have a very clean look but that comes with a lot of flat and straight edge plastics on the interior.

[@AdnanKhan-dx2qh]

I have all the reasons to erase the day from my memory when I stepped in to buy VW Tiguan 2019 Highline Rline. The dealer Dilawari at VW 401 Dixie Road delivered me a faulty product. The sun shade was not opening and they had to order parts to fix it and they took 3 days to fix the problem in the brand new car. Worst experience followed by another worst experience when I noticed after I got my car back that the brand new trunk cabin cover of mine is replaced by an old one! yes you read me right this is kind of shady. Now I have to visit them again to get it sorted. Car has issue with rear traffic monitor and couple of other issues that I reported to them. But as usual sales people just want to sell the car and after the sell the car and its problems are not their concern!. Sad but I have to live with this problem for coming years.

[@mikem2253]

As soon as you said Dilawri, I knew it was going to be a gong show.

[@michaelbouchard659]

Squamish Valley Road??

[@LazyBoyZR1]

Missing the direct cross shop models. Nice review otherwise... Is the CX-5 getting a 2.5 Turbo or 2.2 diesel to compete? Until then the CX-5 is just not on my list.

[@King_Kenny66]

Is there more 2nd row leg room without the 3rd row, or is it the same.

[@mikem2253]

[@idubbz]

Is 2019 model or 2018

I congratulate VW for having Toyota/Aisin build the transmission. When TMC builds the whole car I might think about buying one.

@@green-grass. Driving my 7th VW/Audi product over the last 30 years and no real problems with any of them. So far my 2019 Tiguan has been trouble free for 16,000 miles. My wife's 2017 Golf has been trouble free as well.

IT ALREADY HAS AN ENGINE LIGHT ON!!^^ hahaha classic VW. They should just illuminate them from day 1.

[@moggiemoggs5950]

Ermm.... Maybe because they filmed the instrument binnacle with the ignition on only - hence the engine light on until it is started. New Tiguan has won 1st Place in the Compact SUV class in the 2019 UK JD Power Dependability study. Pretty much says it all, even though the haters won't like to hear that.

[@pero9254]

Reasons this is better than a Rav4: Better looks, better interior, 3rd row seating, better quality paint

[@green-grass.]

Rav 4 is more reliable....v.w. tiguan has so much problems....headaches after headaches.....carbon build up, brake issues....problems after problems...good luck.

[@markthibault8579]

Where can I get the GTI jacket? :-)

[@KirkKreifels]

I'll take a RAV4 thanks. Can't wait for the new 2019!

[@hsvcommodore4111]

Dithh vw is The worst automaker in history

[@trdartz]

I'd take the CX5 over both.... only gripe is the infotainment. but styling on the CX5 is spot on. Don't get me wrong my family used to have all Toyota cars, and I love them but Toyota's design is all over the place. also CX5 has top IIHS safety pick. Hopefully the new more masculine looking Rav4 will also have better safety rating than the current one

[@KirkKreifels]

trdartz I love Mazda exterior designs, not so much their interior. Plus I'll take Toyota reliability as well. If styling were really important to me I'd get a nx300 f sport.

[@Moisi547]

trdartz the tiguan and rav 4 also have top safety pick. Unless you meant the top safety pick plus

[@KirkKreifels]

Dithh velar is a beautiful car! I prefer reliability. Too bad it's hard to get both in the same car.

[@didafm]

I like it but are car reviews starting to be a comedy? Lol

[@peterzebot9863]

[@phuot1]

The sentence You repeat often is: this is an option! You never mention the word reliability and I know why......

[@rodelmayo5599]

Curious question, what's the point with "reliability"?

[@phuot1]

One of the worst in the industry . Go read blog on the Tiguan.

[@chico1014]

Why does VW make so much less horsepower and torque with there 2 liter turbo than any other 2 liter on the market or are they just so used to lying to customers that they made up this lame rating

[@gs98999]

Chico101 VW 2 liter turbo is one of the best 4 cyl engines in the world. There are many versions of it, and it makes from 174hp all the way to close to 300hp depending on what vehicle it’s in.

[@nebojsa1976]

You can do stage 1 to have 315 HP.

[@michaelhord]

Lease a tiguan, they are baddass until they break down. Buy a rav4 if you intend to keep it. Honda sucks now, they fall apart quick.

[@Portland4114]

When reviewing, stay in your lane, lol

[@bestcarreview5021]

Cool

[@jodymarket9112]

Too big for the city. The only cool thing about this Tiguan is the color. It’s way too big. I still love the 2016. Just wish it had more tech like park assist and lane departure sensor. Sorry Volkswagen you were number one until you made this giant.

[@MeirCohen.kingbibi]

👌💗

[@Baddad36]

So, everything that is standard in Europe is an extra in Canada. I feel so sorry for you guys. PS. 200lbft of torque is nothing.

[@ahsanmalik1013]

Well, that depends on the price. For the price you pay for Tiguan with gti engine and sportier dsg, we get that in form of Audi Q5. Otherwise we are getting Tiguan for cheaper so we cannot complain.

[@PaulSebastianM]

I guess some people's kids are bigger than other's.

[@outboardfixer]

My daughter has a 2014 Tiguan with 89,000 KM's ( 55,000 miles ) . On cold morning starts hitching and jerking about 3 miles out check engine flashing and sometimes EPC warning flashing...same time EVERY TIME. NEW mass air flow sensor, NEW coolant sensor, NEW coils, NEW spark plugs, NEW camshaft sensor, NEW pcv valve, CRC intake valve cleaner sprayed in intake, LIQOI-MOLY injector cleaner in, NO CHANGE. 1000.00 spent and NOW VW dealership wants ANOTHER 1000.00 to CLEAN INTAKE VALVES which is a MAJOR problem with these things, and I mean MAJOR, it is all over the internet. My OBD scanner says RANDOM MISFIRES, VW dealership scan...same thing. THEY don't know what the hell is wrong with THEIR OWN VEHICLE. IF YOU HAVE EVER LISTENED TO ANYONE BEFORE....LISTEN NOW...STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY from ANYTHING with VW on it....you have been WARNED!

Motormouth, the best I can recall this is your 1st video review that had music in the video. Your videos are good, actually they are real good but Why did you put music in your videos. Are you now becoming a typical reviewer? Really. A Hard Thumbs DOWN on this video.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Really?

[@e4300]

Yep. Listen up, People go to music channels to watch and listen to music. Meanwhile people go to review channels like this particular channel to learn something (hopefully). There is absolutely NO need in music as a distraction (the music adds nothing to the video) People that watch these videos want the person that is hosting the video to be precise, clear, knowledgeable, honest and straight to the point. Music and general BS chit chat is a distraction and is a method of deceit, regardless of the intention.

[@phuot1]

[@sivudu69]

[@walter777smith6]

That SUV in Europe got 6 different engines . Canadian version got only the one that's SUCKED . For the size that SUV should have at least 250 hp . Mazda 5 got 250 hp on premium fuel and 300 lb feet of torque . Hate German's for every future you have to pay top dollars !! Mazda 5 Honda CRV Toyota 4rav much more reliable and more HP . SCREW VW .

I went from a 2017 cx9 to this and holy sh*t this thing Tiguan r line sucks. I kno I kno somewhat apples and oranges but the Tiguan feels cheap jittery and almost like it’s gonna fold like aluminum foil. Didn’t drive the atlas but the Tiguan is not worth the money. Go withToyota or Mazda.
