I had a 2016 model before switching to another brand. I experienced some electrical issues and the infotainment system was pretty buggy. Just something to keep in mind!
Thanks for sharing that, nkhan. Did the issues persist or improve with software updates?

My experience has been positive overall! The performance in snow is really impressive, and it handles well. I’ve had it for four years, and it still feels new.
Just took my Tiguan on a road trip, and it felt like a dream! Smooth ride and plenty of space for luggage. It’s my favorite car.
Snow handling is key for me too! Good to know I can count on it. Thanks, jeffery07!
My brother has a Tiguan and swears by its reliability. However, he did have to change the brakes earlier than expected. Just a heads up!

Is it strange that I bought mine mostly for the looks? But hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how reliable it’s been!
Every car has its quirks. It’s good to know upfront! Has anyone else experienced early brake issues?
I’ve always had a soft spot for VW, but I’m curious about long-term reliability. Anyone here had theirs for more than five years?
I hit the five-year mark with my Tiguan recently, and it still runs great! Just routine maintenance. I think regular care really makes a difference.
That’s really reassuring, rjones! I’m sold on getting a Tiguan. What would you say is its best feature?
For me, it’s the space! You don’t realize how much you appreciate it until you need to haul stuff. I can’t imagine going back to a smaller car.
What’s with all the mixed reviews? Some people love them, and others seem to have horror stories. Makes me a bit hesitant.

Totally get that, lewissamantha! Every car has its faults, but it’s about finding what fits your needs best.
I’ve owned my Tiguan for over three years now, and I can say it’s been quite reliable. In fact, I’ve had fewer issues than my friends with similar SUVs like the Honda CR-V.

That’s interesting! I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Tiguan’s reliability compared to other competitors like the Mazda CX-5. What do you think, is there any feature that stands out for you?

I bought my Tiguan because of its spacious interior and fun driving dynamics. Reliability-wise, I’ve read that it gets decent ratings, but it lacks the top-tier metrics of brands like Toyota.
Totally agree with you, Patricia. The Tiguan is spacious, but I’ve read some owners say that the electronics tend to be a little quirky. Anyone else experienced that?
I’ve heard that too! While I love how the Tiguan looks and drives, I wonder if those quirks affect long-term reliability?
I think the Tiguan has a good balance of reliability and technology. After all, Consumer Reports rates it fairly well! My brother has a Tiguan and enjoys it, but it does seem a bit less reliable than his old Subaru.
