Tiguan Proves To Be Nice, But at What Price?

Not wanting to miss the feeding frenzy for small and sporty crossover utility vehicles, Volkswagen has put an SUV body on a small sedan chassis.

Tiguan is a strong reminder of why people like these vehicles, among them Honda CR-V (best-selling SUV in the U.S.), Mazda CX-7 (a sporty direct rival to Tiguan), Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Saturn Vue. They can haul and tow more than same-size cars. They offer all-wheel drive, have high seating positions many drivers favor and can zip and whip and tuck smartly into tight parking spots not available to larger SUVs.

What Tiguan does not illustrate is why you should buy it instead of a rival.

Tough spot to be in...not quite luxury but no where no near a value price, not as nice as the 'real' luxury brands...so, buy it to be different and spend more money?

Seems to work well for cars like the Passat. Some people dont need a full-blown luxury vehicle but want to get out of the econo-box.

Let him do what he wants. Who really cares? He is just telling jokes.

Anyone who has as much time as he does to post negative comments on every Audi and VW thread.

One, has no life. Meaning still a virgin.
Two, is a child. 16-18 yrs old max.

Just don't worry about, he is a kid.
