4 Reasons to Buy a 2023 VW Tiguan (Anything New?)
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 02. 2023
- The Tiguan doesn't have the mainstream appeal of a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V, but it does bring much to the table for people that need a practical yet compact SUV. Other main competitors include the Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Forester and Mazda CX-5.
Thank you, Royal on the Eastside, for letting me test drive a few Tiguans over the years.

Thanks for the review sir.
I had a 2018, 2020, and now the 2023 Tiguan, and find they got better with each gen. A tad poky is my only complaint (although felt improved between gens I owned), does get great gas mileage, so a trade off there. I think they need to offer a Tiguan R with more HP.
4:50 The infotainment graphics look like a Tom Tom from 1998! 😂 Great review!
A good description
😂
I love your humor 😂
This vehicle definitely would have been a lot better with a GTI engine.
and i think for a car where is now 7 years in production, this second generation Tiguan is from 2016, they do not have quality and reliability issues more.
I have a 2019, and I always keep the transmission in S mode, which improves responsiveness and doesn't gear hunt or upshift when you don't want it to. S should be D in this car and D should be an Eco mode.
have you concisered get a tune from apr? we just got a 2023 this week. one reason i want to get this was because we had the same engine in our 2017 audi a3. we had a 114k miles on it. plenty of power for the sedan and great fuel mileage. feels decent in the tiguan but def doesnt feel the same with the extra weight. still happy with the fuel mileage though
I do tje same - keep it is s modr. Once the warranty is up I'll look into a tune if I keep it.
which is better tiguan or santafe/tucson?
I know in the North American market the Euro short wheelbase wouldn't sell well, it is subjectively far better looking. Thanks for the review!
I thought I saw something like that in Italy!
"subjectively far better looking" - Looks are not VW's main problem in the US. Its poor reliability and high cost of repairs are.
Good assessment of Tiguan quality/reliability. According to Consumer Reports latest reliability data, the Tiguan is “below average”. However, Volkswagen as a brand is ranked 22 out of 24 brands, and the Taos is ranked the lowest!
Damn. Thats shocking
Damn, and I want one so bad tell in love with it, but I think I might go with the Mazda cx5
Americans prefer japanese reliablity. Which can be boring. In europe and Germany the tiguan is number 3 best selling car. VW also is largest car company by,Is Volkswagen the biggest car company?
Volkswagen is currently the largest automaker in the world, with a reported revenue of approximately $300 billion in 2022. The German car maker has set an ambitious target to overtake Tesla, Inc.Jun 12, 2023
You are way to negative. It's an SUV that is good for an SUV. Handles good, and some nice features. The SE R line is the best bang for the bug. Looks really good. I love my SE R Line Black.
I’m a world where “something” is considered “Dated” if it’s been out just a year. People are Greedy and lazy. Where actual Driving doesn’t exist anymore.
They are also werewolf resistant
All this talk about reliability. My wife had a 19 tiguan se with not a single issue and returned the lease back at 36k. She got a 23 se with black and cinnamon interior. Drives better than the 19. I know 36k is not a-lot of miles but you MUST stay on top of maintenance intervals with VW.
About to lease one next week. Good to know people have had good issues w leasing these!
Disgraceful customer service in Australia , exorbitant prices on parts & servicing . Besides you can't trust the company when they were found guilty of deceitful behaviour with the diesel gate scandal . Its a big fat NO from me for a VW

Bro i just got brand new 2023 !! Common guys dnt do bad review 😅😅
Same here
Doesn’t have mainstream success? It’s literally VWs highest selling vehicle.
Listen to the whole sentence.
Consumer Reports says that they are extremely UNRELIABLE and Very expensive for repairs
Classic VW
In the 1960s and even 70s, "German" meant "quality". As a kid I remember I had a poster of a Mercedes W114/W115 on the wall. Now I wouldn't touch a German car with a ten foot pole. What happened to German standards and pride?
Yes, as I mentioned in this video too.
@@mountainhobo It died with Hitler
Sometimes I wonder if anyone who actually takes advice from consumer reports buys anything other than Corolla?
Touch screen radio keeps shutting off and on while driving! Who else has same bug?
That’s a chip issue, I had to fight with VW and they finally acknowledged that it was a hardware issue and replaced the some chip. Btw it was for my brand new Jetta.
@@hellopira1 chip issue? Would help name of chip. Had RF module replaced on Tuguan... then started to develope same problem again. Now waiting on a new replacement of same module. Supposedly was a bad part from dealer. Second time now. Ill keep posted.
Mine was 5F module replacement and infortainment software update, hope that helps
@@hellopira1 yes. Had that 5F module replaced 2 times. Still have same problem. Dealer also let Germany know about the issue.
What you should do is call the VW support and ask them to connect to a supervisor, let them know the issue, tell them dealer is not able to fix it, say a reverse camera(screen) is compulsory under the US regulations and you cannot drive it if it keeps shutting down. Leave the car at the dealer and ask for a VW paid rental till they fix it permanently…
Reliability is just below the average car. It’s faster, and has better handling. True transmission not a CVT. Another VW hit-piece
No i didnt enjoy the video or will subscribe haha😅
You lost me at Germanisc
Germanesque "French style, or Germanic in English or anglicized way.
So, he is not wrong about Germanesque.
1:44 "grumble like an Los Angeles landlord that can't raise rent on a mother of three" - Please don't spoil your channel with such berniesanderesque brain farts.
I thought it was funny and a little critique on something that personally bothers me. Much like a lot of my other jokes.
@@Realistick I have an advantage of being much older, and of having grown up in a "worker's paradise". Naivete of young people in the US used to amuse me, but now it has reached such proportions, it is no longer funny to me because I know what the consequences can be, and I know that young people are being manipulated.
@@Realistick that comment was not funny and has no place in an auto review. What if I said, “grumble like a Los Angeles mother of three that doesn’t want to pay her rent”; how does that sound? Not funny right?!
@@mark8684 That's because that is a poorly constructed inverse of the joke, why would it be funny. Sorry the joke didn't land for you, I was only making fun of sleazy landlords, didn't think anybody would defend them.
@@mountainhobo No need to be condescending, cost of living is completely different these days.
