TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan
| 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review | |

Wanted a fun to drive sporty vehicle, yet needed good interior space since I have two teenage girls. Bounced between cars & CUV's. Found the Tiguan & was sold. Love the size, the spunk, acceleration, AND fuel economy. Wasn't sure about the leatherette seats, but after 4 months have come to like them. Averaging about 24mpg w/ mostly city driving. Pure freeway at 75 mpg yields close to 30mpg in San Diego. UPDATE: Ending up selling this vehicle since at 50k miles I started to have serious problems like leaking gaskets, a failed water pump, and carbon buildup which hurt performance. Also two ignition coils failed (ugh). Luckily it was all under warranty. Otherwise the repairs would have been ~$5,000 total (lots of labor). Ouch! VW gave me a $150 Visa gift card for the hassles incurred w/ all the repairs. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |

I have a pair of 2.0T engines, in the Tig and in a 2009 GTI. One is very powerful, and one is extremely powerful. 'Nuff said. Funny how dofferent the gearing is-- the GTI is high-strung, never dropping below 2,400 rpm at cruising speeds, even in sixth. The Tiguan plays it lazy, preferring diesel-like engine speeds. Some owners gripe about this, but it's easy to kick down to lower gears, especially in S mode. It's really hard to come up with a reason to ever need more hp, more displacement or more cylinders than the 2.0T offers. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |

Performance is fine but the transmission calibration is pretty bad. The vehicle is overgeared and wants to find a tall gear to quickly. This necessitates frequent gear changing and torque converter unlocking to accommodate what is basically a flat road. Combination of six speeds with a loose torque converter provides the equivalent of 12 speed choices. Grade sensing software is abominable. Could be a lot nicer with tighter torque converter and numerically higher final drive ratio. Fortunately has a good Aisin transmission that hopefully can take all of this monkey business. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |

Poor transmission calibration makes it necessary for me to manually shift the transmission to avoid annoying up/down shifts. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |
