I looked quite a bit for a small SUV that is still roomy but not too big and bulky. The carried over 2017 Tiguan Limited into 2018 is just right. The price was lower than anyone else at less than $23,000. That included a lot of options, like 17" alloy wheels, a large 6.5" infotainment screen, Apple car play and Android Auto, roof rack, first aid kit, all weather rubber floor mats that …

Just what I was looking for...

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited S 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

The car is solid. And powerful. I have to be careful when accelerating while making a turn from a stop. Road noise is minimal. Vehicle corners well. All of the tech works as advertised. Premium gas... you do what you have to do. Mileage seems slightly better than advertised. Love the premium package add-ons: car-play, key-less entry, push button start, etc. etc. Just enough …

What Happened To The VW Car-Net Option?

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited S 4Motion 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

When I purchased the 2017 VW Tiguan Limited 2.0T with 4 Motion the "sticker" on the car said it comes with the "VW Car-Net" option. After I got the car home I found out the option IS NOT included. I called the dealership who said Volkswagen of America made an error on all the "stickers" for this model and since the option is factory installed noting can be done about it. I contacted … Volkswagen of America who said "in this case it is misleading" and said nothing can be done about it. I looked at the "sticker" on another VW car that actually has the option installed and the only difference is on the car "sticker" with the installed option it says "VW Car-Net (equiped)". In addition, the gas millage is very low and the car only can use Premium Fuel! Be very cautious when purchasing this car and ask questions! Update 2/3/2020: VW of America" is still misleading customers buy stating on the car sticker that the "VW Car- Net" option is included when it is NOT INCLUDED! Read and ask questions if you are buying a VW and the car sticker says this option is included - IT IS NOT INCLUDED! *****8/7/2021 UPDATE - The car now has 61,000 mile on the odometer. The engine now sounds like a lawn mower. VW cars used to be good for at least 100,000 miles before any real problems. Very disappointed. This is the 4th VW I have owned and will be the last. The myth of VW quality is long long gone! ******* 2/9/2023 Update - The stickers on VW cars are still misleading when it lists Car Net. Volkswagen of America simply doesn't care what they tell the customer. The car has 84,000 miles and the loan is paid off. When the car finally gives out my 20 plus years relationship with VW will be thankfully be finished. ******2/9/2024 Update - The car has 99,400 miles. The engine now sounds like a "sewing machine". The oil usage is 1 quart every 1000 miles. ******8/12/2024 Update - The car now has 107,292 miles. About a month ago the radio started to "lock up" where as you couldn't change any radio stations by using the preset buttons or manual tuning. Also none of the "option" buttons around the radio stopped working. The problem is intermittent and sometimes the radio works OK and sometimes it is stuck on the last station you were listening to. This problem occurs with AM, FM, and Sirius. On another subject, the car is only supposed to be filled with Premium Gas (93). So it is more expensive to operate. I noticed that the later Tiguan models can use regular gas. The car usually gets 23 miles per gallon for local or HIGHWAY travel. On the highway if you drive over 60 MPH you will only get 23 MPH. If you stay under 60MPH you can get up to 30 miles per gallon on very long highway drives. Always very poor milage on city driving.

Great Little Buggy

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited S 4Motion 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I purchased the Tiguan in February 2017. Its price had been reduced to $21,500 from $26,800. Its fast and has very agile handling. Its tall and visability is great, fuel economy is so so. For its size the cargo space is sufficient, and its easy to park and manuver in town. The interior (black and tan). For the money, hard to beat.
