I have only had issues with my vehicle once. I was able to take it into the shop and get it fixed quickly. Otherwise this car has treated me very well and I am happy with my purchase. Everyone always thinks it is newer than a 2012 car because of how nice it is. I would certainly describe this as a luxury car and I am very thankful for it. I hope this car lasts me a long time in the future and I do not see it giving out any time soon. It drives very smooth and has not given me regular troubles.

My zippy and safe VW tiguan.
I love my car it is peppy. It is reliable. I have not had to replace too much since I purchased it. I did not purchase the option with the sunroof because it did not have a cover and the sun sometimes triggers migraines. I would have purchased the sunroof of it had some sort of shield or black out slider. It handles very well in bad weather. Snow and rain do not make me nervous to drive.

Great ride and amazing car!
My car drives like a dream! It is interior has 'European' styling, the sun/ moonroof takes up all of the interior and is massive! The bucket seats are a perfect fit and can be adjusted to any size... Vehicle handling is easy and 'sports mode' offers some fun! Interior space is limited but perfect for my needs, perhaps not big enough for a family. When the back seats are down I can use the space for my bicycle or anything else. All in all just a fantastic car for me! I test drove many other SUV',s and the tiguan felt superior... In handling, looks and specs!

Love my Volkswagen tiguan, wish they didn't change the looks.
Very reliable, has 130,000 miles and is still perfect. I have went through a few tires, and they are pretty expensive and hard to find. I really enjoy the looks of this car. Love the huge sunroof. Another negative is it only takes premium gas, so it is a bit more expensive but I love it.
Stephanie C

The sunroof comes unglued easily.
I like the color, style and features. I do not like the fragility of the sunroof because it is already come unglued. Other than that, I love everything.

2012 Volkswagen for our family.
Small compact little wagon. It is very fast though with the turbo. I use the Bluetooth option all the time while driving. Love the safety options with the car. Not a lot of trunk space which is a bad thing for our family. It is great on gas though. Pretty high tech for a 2012 vehicle.

Volkswagen tiguan 2012 car info.
My vehicle is a 2012. It is mainly in good condition. It has approximately 120,000 miles on it, and I maintenance it every 10,000 miles are recommended for the oil change. I have had issues with it here and there. I did repair the top upholstery at one point too.

Volkswagen tiguan sel features.
Very reliable. Has many luxury features which I enjoy. Such as the seats are leather, heated, customized comfort with four preset options, there is a moonroof which extends the whole length of the roof and has four open and close options. The headlights adjust to the beam length and brightness, as well as the side mirrors turn on downlights when making a left or right turns as well as a signal notification and being heated. The windshield wipers have a sensor so that they go on automatically when it senses rain on the windshield. Automatically reminds you when tire pressure is low, when you are in need of gas and for how many more miles till you fill it, a reminder for an oil change as well as how many miles till you need to do so for that too, and tire pressure notice.

Jessica C

Great vehicle for small family.
Wastegate regulator on turbo gave out at 69,000 miles and is a $3,000 fix to replace turbo. Otherwise, maintenance costs have been low and I am happy with performance. It is the perfect size for mid-sized furniture items so we do not have to rent a van.
Daisy T
on February 22, 2021
My white pretty car that drives smoothly.
It is comfortable, smooth, and convenient. It is very easy to drive, however it uses gas up very fast. It is big and can fit a lot of people and stuff. It is my favorite car to drive because its white as well and the seats are comfortable. I can take many people and put many groceries in the car. It breaks down a lot.
Liv T

Perfect mid-size SUV with the feel of luxury.
Love this car it is very reliable, comfortable, and has all the features you need in a car without the price of a luxury vehicle. Has a great interior and exterior look and is a great size. Second row comfortably fits three people and the trunk is big enough that there have been no problems.
Sarah S

Air lock brakes, very sensitive if you never used one before.
I love the air lock brakes. Love the hands free Bluetooth option that connects to my phone, if someone called me, I can safely answer it. I hate the cup holders, and the backseat air vents.

Mid-size vehicle but feels like a big one
The Tiguan is roomy enough for trips to college, home improvement stores or grocery shopping, but compact enough to fit in almost anywhere. The sunroof is a great feature, as is the A/C ! The sound system is great quality, and easy to program. Mileage is pretty good for city driving, and is definitely fast enough for the freeway
Deborah B
on January 31, 2021
Vehicle is completely comfortable and useful for many purposes.
Features are user-friendly, easily accessible, car is extremely comfortable and reliable. Lots of legroom in back seat, good hatch space also easily accessed. It is lowest end model for simplicity, mileage okay. Easy driving but a little bit top heavy.
Andrea S
on January 24, 2021
Small space, expensive parts.
Love the look of the car but the trunk space is so tiny and inside is tiny as well back seats have no leg space, parts are more expensive because it is a foreign vehicle. Oil changes are more expensive. Turbo messed up right away and has to be fixed now.
Nadine C

Favorite car I have ever driven.
This car has good pick up, and is very stylish. The seats are very comfortable. I dislike leather seats. Breaks very well for a medium sized car. I love the sun roof and they are not many blind spots in this car. Gas mileage is not crazy and I love that the car is not bulky. This is my favorite car I have ever driven.
Alexandria S

Great gas mileage, get car in general.
Very reliable vehicle, I go all over. I maintain the car really well haven't had any problems with it at all, gets me everywhere I need to go, gets good gas mileage and I got new tires this past fall and still in great shape, Haven't had any other problems with it.

Great wear and tear, super happy with this car!
I do love my tiguan! I have owned this car for 5 years and the war on the interior is amazing, and I am not particularly easy on my car. It drives well and is reliable for the most part. When I hit 75k miles I did have an engine issue, and my mechanic struggled to figure out what it was but eventually we got it taken care of. Only thing is it does leak oil pretty frequently.
Brandy S
on December 4, 2020
My car can easily hold 5 people and has all wheel drive.
I love the fact I can move the backseat back and forth for more legroom or more trunk space depending upon my needs. The car is practical and sporty. I am upset that my turbo went out at about 65K miles. The Volkswagen brand has been reliable for me.
Gabrielle

Get Ready to Replace the Turbo
Absolutely hate this car. I live in Minnesota, and it gets really cold, and this car can’t handle it. It misfires all the time in the winter, and sometimes I’m not able to turn the wheel because of the electric power steering. The turbo blew out and it was around $1,800 to fix. The seats get so hot in the summer and when I get out of the car I leave a pool of sweat on the seat. It’s so gross. The AC takes forever to cool down, and the heat takes forever to heat up. I get 16-18 mpg in-town driving, and at most 23 on the freeway/highway. It’s supposed to get way better than that. Doesn’t handle very well in snow either. Will never be getting another VW again. This car is absolutely terrible. I always wonder if I will get stranded on the side of the road. Save yourself the money.
JOS
on November 18, 2020
Terribly disappointing
The car was great when it ran. Eight years in, the turbo failed and essentially totaled the car out. In addition, the drainage system has failed. Both of these are well known and acknowledged design failures of the car. Unfortunately VW refuses to accept liability. Despite many good times with this car and good experiences owning other VWs, I don't plan to own VW ever again. Unacceptable for a $30+k car to be useless after eight years.
Dana R
on November 17, 2020
It is sporty and fun, and accelerates fast!
I have a white Tiguan which I do like very much. It has a beautiful leather interior and a moonroof. The only thing I dislike is that it is expensive to fix.

Ideal compact SUV: Volkswagen tiguan.
The Volkswagen tiguan is a great compact SUV. It gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive. There is plenty of room for groceries, luggage, or whatever else you need for a road trip. Plenty of room too for passengers. Lots of features are also available like Bluetooth for phone and music.
Celeste D
on November 17, 2020
Amazing car with one big issue.
We have had a problem with our sun roof. One time when we used the automatic button to pull the sunshade back, it wouldn't come forward again. When it eventually decided to, it completely tore and we had to get it replaced. Other than that the vehicle has been great. It rides very smooth, has wonderful leather interior, and no other issues.
Karly K
on November 15, 2020
VW tiguan: my first vehicle.
This car has been perfect for a first vehicle. It is an SUV, but still maintains its compact size. It is pretty quick as well. One issue I do have with it, however, is with the mpg and gas intake. It could be a little better on gas. Overall, I would recommend this car to anyone in need of an everyday vehicle with good space and good pricing.

2012 Tiguan SE 4Motion, best gas mileage, features & handling.
I spent a lot of time reviewing & test driving used cars that would have the best combination of luxury, smooth ride, gas mileage, and price before making my purchase. After looking for several months and test driving different brands I found the Tiguan to be an incredible value. The car has beautiful leather, the car features are user friendly, it handles extremely well and I have consistently gotten 27mpg. There is a small digital display on the dash with multiple screen options which are easily rotated by the steering wheel buttons. The radio and phone also have steering wheel controls. The main display is touch screen with good size font for easy reference. Connecting the phone is simple and the manual with the car is very easy to follow. The Tiguan is on the smaller side of the crossover world but it is not lacking in room. The second row also folds down nearly flat for those times you need to move larger items. There is backup key entry available which is smartly hidden in the handle for a smooth look. The heated seats are just fantastic as they warm up very quickly and have three temp settings. The look of the vehicle is sleek and it has good ground clearance. There is plenty of get up and go as well! All around this is an excellent car for the price, I could not be happier with my purchase.
Jaime G

I like the size of the car and when I first got it I loved it. Recently I've been having a lot of issues that are expensive to fix
Midge F
on November 9, 2020
2012 vw compact SUV. Highlights.
The headliner is starting to come off and the paint is starting to chip. It gets good gas mileage if you keep up with the oil change. The key battery dies quite often. My biggest thing is the headliner which is going to cost me like 400 to fix. Not sure how much the paint chipping will be.
Melen F
on November 6, 2020
First impression, spacey, panoramic sunroof, Bluetooth, twin turbo,
The moment I bought it off the lot, I had realized I had made a mistake. From the drivers door one day deciding to not open, to a random 1.2k oil leak, to the EPC light traditionally turning on once every 4 months, I have had more appointments for my car than I have had for myself. Huge $30k mistake..
Vanessa S
on October 28, 2020
My VW is pretty nice. I’d say the full size sunroof is the coolest thing.
Electrical, mostly. However for the most part it is been pretty good to me. I have a mobile job so I do put a lot of miles on the car. Due to that fact it does require a bit more maintenance that normal. I’d purchase this car again however the new model has a bigger body which I am not sure I like that much. VW is a strong I had a bug in the past this small SUVs appearance with is so simple.
Emily B
on October 24, 2020
2012 tiguan still looks new.
I do not have any big problems. The seat adjusters are a bit weird and the car often condensates on the inside. It gets pretty okay gas mileage but it could be better. I like that it looks new still and is a 2012 model as well since I will hopefully have it for a while. I do wish that the gas reader would tell you exactly how many miles you have until empty also.
rita S
on October 23, 2020
Reliable car to have if you have a family.
This vehicle was very reliable. However, after a period of 3 years, it started to require more service and the cost of replacement outside of coverage was enormous for a student. However, it had all the interior features. It was fancy. Had so many road trips with it.
Agnes F
on October 11, 2020
Uses premium gas only but great highway mileage.
Car drives really smoothly, I purchased mine used so there were a few problems with the coolant tank but otherwise the car is great! Love the Bluetooth hookup and handling. Very comfortable.
Ale M
on October 1, 2020
Decent small SUV for someone who wants something bigger than a car.
The tiguan is a great size for a single person. Would not recommend for a family. The trunk size is a bit small. I have a large dog and the kennel does not fit in just the trunk. I have to lay the seats down. Then there is not really room for the dog. It is in the shop every 3-5 months with engine problems or oils leek. Does have great gas mileage with decent gas prices of a 15 gallon tank. Sound system is nice and the drive is smooth. The pan sunroof also add a nice touch.
Daniel L
on August 25, 2020
Great small SUV, with lots of power!
This car is great, it just needs a carbon clean like every direct injection engine every 60-80k miles. The coil packs on this model tend to go every so often but thankfully are quite cheap. Therefore, it is an easy fix. I love this car it driver very well.
Alex G
on August 22, 2020
2012 VW tiguan review: reliable, compact SUV with good gas mileage and features.
It is a nice, smaller “SUV” that gets good gas mileage and has had minimal issues in the 4 years I have owned it. I am approaching 100,000 miles and it is beginning to need oil changes more often and when low on oil the EPC light will flash and it will automatically cut at times when I try to accelerate. It is a bit on the small side in terms of space for an SUV, but seating is roomy enough. The seats are a little stiff compared to some other cars. I enjoy the Bluetooth connection capability, but rarely use the voice commands (it almost never understands my spoken requests).
Lauren C
on August 21, 2020
Love the sport mode and the sunroof!
I love my car! I do have a decent amount of miles on it, so it likes to burn oil more quickly than others. I love my sunroof, and the turbo engine is nice. The sport mode on my vehicle can be fun, but at a cost of gas. I do put premium petrol in my car, and it makes the consumption and mpg rating a lot smoother.
Bryan W R
on August 10, 2020
That it is a Volkswagen Tiguan. Most people would never guess that is what it is.
I really have enjoyed my VW Tiguan from the start. It is just the right size and fits my personality. It is a classy little Sub SUV that rides well and great on gas.

Having 3 dogs the Tiguan comes in handy. I can put the dogs in the back
Never had a problem, but then again I have it serviced on a regular basis, I love the car, it has gotten me from CA to MN and from MN to CO. There is room for all of my dogs, it is easy to clean, and it looks almost brand new. It is easy to drive and anyone can drive it. I live in cold country and I know it will start every morning when I go out to start it even when it is 25 below. I would buy another one.
Abby C

Volkswagen tiguan: comfy and reliable.
Super reliable, it is an older vehicle so it does require yearly maintenance; brakes are crazy loud and squeaky but I have been told there is nothing wrong with them. Super comfortable and flexible interior; allows me to transport all sorts of things from furniture to my dog, etc.
Nicole T

My favorite features of the Tiguan is the extended moonroof, great gas mileage, and the turbo feature. It takes premium gas which can get expensive.
Hannah D

Do not buy unless you want to spend a lot of money.
Bought it used with 100,000 miles. The engine coils went out and had to replace them $500. About 6 months later something in the airbag broke and the rear main seal busted $1600. A year later and the water pump (that had already been replaced a year ago) broke $1300. I love my car but the issues make it very hard to keep up with. I would not recommend it.
Mary H

Rachael K

The tiguan, like all other volkswagens I've owned, gets incredible gas mileage.
I really enjoy my Tiguan, mostly because of the great gas mileage. I can drive to and from work (20 mins each way) all week and only pay $20 in gas. The heated seats are another one of my favorite features. I have really never had any serious problems with my Tiguan after owning it for about 2 years.
Caroline S

It fits 5 people including the driver.
This vehicle works great. The gas mileage is outstanding and it is just a really great car to have for daily use.
Tina D
on May 22, 2020
It is very expensive to maintain and does not run optimally on anything but Premium gas.
I like the pickup it have now that I replaced the turbo charger. I dislike the cost of repairs, that I have to use premium gas and the gas mileage I get from a full tank.
Gina E
on May 15, 2020
Amazing car, superior manufacturing with very few issues.
This vehicle is awesome. It rides well, very smooth with great pick up when needed. The Bluetooth is super easy to set up and use, and the navigation as well. Heated seats, panoramic sunroof and XM radio are major pluses. However, the engine can gunk up after about 70k miles so running an engine cleaner every few fill ups is a good idea. Maintenance can get expensive, but worth it for the quality car.

Luxury car for a good price!
Love the car. Runs smooth, good gas mileage, amazing sunroof. The leather seats and sunroof really nice. It's a really size, not too big and not too small. The navigation system is really nice. It's also a good price, for such a good valued car. I've been so happy with my purchase.
Gabrielle G
on December 22, 2019
Tiguan is a great versatile car.
I enjoy the Bluetooth and navigation features of the car. The interior of the car is great and the sunroof is a lovely feature. The brakes can be a bit touchy at time and the gas requires some extra pressure. There's plenty of storage. The air conditioning system is not the strongest, but works well enough.
STEPHANIE V
on December 19, 2019
Great car but some things need to be fixed.
I love my tiguan for driving performance. However, I think VW needs to reevaluate the UV screen they use on tiguan models. The screen is not durably made and is very expensive to fix or replace.
Stacey R

Colleen M

Volkswagen Tiguan is a great mid-size SUV for young people.
The previous owner did not take proper care of it so I have had to invest a lot of time and money into it. German cars can also be more expensive than say American or Japanese cars. Overall the car's performance, minus the maintenance problems due to the previous owner, is really nice. It drives smoothly, has great perks (i.e. Panoramic sunroof) and has relatively good gas mileage.
Christy T
on November 29, 2019
Decent gas mileage, enough room to haul medium sized items.
The Tiguan is the perfect size SUV. I have been driving one for 6 years. Mine is a turbo, so it does burn oil; I am told this is normal for a turbo. This small SUV can handle tight turns and is easily maneuvered in crowded areas. I have low mileage, but the power window panel has some failed operations. The gasket on the bottom of the door came off and now there is some noise and I am concerned about interior temperature.
Gina E
on October 24, 2019
Run engine cleaner through the gas tank after about 60k miles, every 3rd fill up.
It gets great gas mileage. It handles well and has very good power. However, the engine does tend to gunk up.
Cesar G
on October 17, 2019
Good, if you are realistic.
On a large picture, tiguan is a fair performing car, comfortable, good looking clean design. However I bought a used car, 8 years removed from the newest edition, so naturally it came with issues. A recurring issue with these cars after a certain time (according to my mechanic) is the turbocharger, a costly thing. Overall if you get a well kept tiguan, you shouldn't have many issues, and it pays off to have the tools to make simple routine maintenance a breeze.
Jen K
on October 10, 2019
It's great in the snow, handles well and gets me where I need to yto.
I like the size and the amount of cargo i can haul. The gas mileage is also pretty good for an all wheel drive. It's also great in the snow.
Sam L

Spacious and great road-trip SUV.
I really enjoy the interior, leather seats with heat along with the panoramic sunroof. I was able to easily replace my headlights by myself. Having an oil change once a year is pretty convenient, as well. Cruise control and plenty of backseat space/trunk space.
Alyssa B

It has Bluetooth and it gets great mileage! The volume button works on streaming wheal
I love the gas mileage and the Bluetooth features, and the fact that it has room in the back seat and the trunk
Amira F
on August 27, 2019
I think the most interesting thing in my vehicle is the panoramic sunroof.
My vehicle has a very few problems but when it does I do not mind fixing them. I feel my car is very reliable. My car comes with a panoramic sunroof and heated front seats, as well as large amounts of space for my kids and I. In my opinion my car is very reliable and comfortable for my family and friends.
Michelle B
on August 21, 2019
It feels good to drive. Compared to the Nissan Rogue and the Honda CRV of the same year the Tiguan just feels good. It feels like a luxury vehicle.
My only complaint is the mpg. Also the sunroof leaks, though it is a magnificent sunroof so I can't complain too much. The leather interior is very nice and the bluetooth is reliable. I get lots of compliments, which is good, since I'm paying $250 a month for a used vehicle and it better be good.

Gives the power equivalent to a engine that is in a bigger vehicle
I love the comfort overall of my vehicle the seats are just so relaxing to sit in. I love my features especially the little ones like the heated seats down to the touch screen radio! It provides me with the modern look, touch, and feel and it is so worth it! Mechanically I haven't had a problem at all with the car except for a wheel bearing which needed to be replaced from normal wear and tear on the road. I also replaced my battery and it was simple and easy. Overall I would stick to and recommend this car to anyone.
Sylvia A
on June 20, 2019
It costs a bit more than similar vehicles but is reliable and fun.

Gabie S
on June 18, 2019
I wish I researched before I bought this car.
I feel that for the price of my vehicle I have experienced a lot of faults and repairs. The repairs are very costly. The engine itself is not strong, I have had multiple parts break after being repaired and I feel that this car does not have good gas mileage.
Elizabeth W
on June 16, 2019
This vehicle is good for anyone who travels a lot.
I live 7 hours away from my family while I am at college. I drive home a few times every semester and have never had an issue. It is very comfortable and proves to be reliable for everything I need a vehicle for. I also babysit and it is very accommodating for children!
Bill C
on June 15, 2019
Good overall SUV with decent gas mileage for an all wheel drive.
We got this small SUV when our first child was born. It is great for the cold weather climate we live in, has no problem with the snow, but is also small enough to not be a problem parking in the city. This is the first SUV I have owned, previously had small station wagons or hatchbacks and it is great for space. We also have a few dogs and it has become our dog car for taking them on walks in the woods. Good over all car with decent gas mileage for all wheel drive.
Michael P
on May 11, 2019
Silver SUV that is fun to drive.
Expensive to maintain but overall a great car. I haven't had any major issues with the car other than wear and tear. They keep telling me to write more information but I cannot because the Volkswagen car is pretty good. Oil changes once a year but expensive.

The Overall experience of a tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a great car overall. Very reliable in many different ways, it good on gas, has an impressive panoramic roof that has an incredible view from the inside. Has lots of space, and is good for small families. Also the individual climate control as well as seat warmers is a great edition.
Casey M

White sunroof. Heated seats and leatherette material. Bluetooth and navigation.
Had to put in a new turbo. Had to replace the transmission. Very expensive repairs. It drives very well and is very comfortable, and I love my heated seats and leather at material. It is a very pretty car. I wouldn't recommend on a budget. But it is very nice to drive.

VW love extends to tiguan.
The tiguan is the most reliable car I have owned. It is comfortable and I would dare say luxurious. Plenty of room for errands and even extended trips; we comfortably fit all our camping gear and fur baby for weekend trips. Meanwhile, it is compact size makes this the perfect vehicle for busy city life, especially finding parking in the crowded streets.
Lauren B

I love that it is 4wd and spacious. It is a great little car and is perfect.

My car is very comfortable and reliable. It runs smoothly and I do not have a major performance problems. If I would to buy a car now this car would be my first choice. My car is always prized by others. I love driving it and it is very relaxing and enjoyable.

2012 VW tiguan engine issues and other problems.
I have had my 2012 tiguan VW for 5 years and have had a few problems with it. The mesh shade on my sunroof got caught and no longer works. My engine has had a few issues, along with my oil pressure. Other than that I love my VW and plan to buy another one for my next car purchase.

VW 2012 tiguan se review!
The car has been great and is very affordable. There are nice touches with the heated leather seats, Bluetooth capability, digital odometer, etc. However now that I have had my VW more than 5 years and my car has hit 100,000 miles, it has started to 'break down' a lot more for simple things such as electronic failure where the trunk does not register to latch, engine light comes on for no reason, etc. It does not seem to be a cheap car to fix and has depreciated drastically since purchasing it used in 2015.

VW fan and tiguan owner!!
2012 Volkswagen tiguan has been fun to drive. It is the perfect size for me! Maintenance tends to be a tad pricey, but worth the investment to keep it running smoothly. I have been a VW owner since I was 16 and look forward to what's to come in the future with the line.

It has turbo and gets decent gas mileage for the turbo and size of the vehicle.
I love the size and comfort of the vehicle. Maintenance is minimal. The only thing I do not like is that it requires premium fuel which cost more.

Tiguan is the best way to go!
My vehicle is perfect! The seats are comfortable and spacious. It is extremely reliable and has never thrown me for a loop in the 4 years I have driven it. The interior is also easy to clean with a vacuum and high quality cleaner which helps keep up the great looks this SUV has. I would recommend this to everyone!

Great car! (but pricey gas).
I love this car. It drives really well, the radio is nice and even has Bluetooth, and the sunroof is amazing. I do not like that it has a turbo and takes high grade gas and that there are no buttons to control the Bluetooth music. Other than that, it is a great car.

Great and safe family car.
I have owned my tiguan for 5 years and have had hardly any trouble with it! It is very reliable and is easy to drive. The ride is very smooth and it handles well on the highway. I love all the features and feel like it is a very safe vehicle for my family.

Nice but room for improvement.
Semi comfortable interior. A/c unit is not as powerful as I hoped. Drives semi-smoothly but shakes a bit when driving. The biggest drawback is that it takes premium gas. It also does not have some of the upgrades I would like such as a sunroof and navigation system.

Amazing Vehicle! Perfect for road trips, dependable for everyday use!
My Volkswagen Tiguan is the best car I have driven. It is small, yet spacious where it needs to be. It is always our preferred vehicle for road trips because of gas mileage and comfort. I have only had to take it in for something weird when the gas cap was not closed enough and the engine light turned on. That is the extent of the issues with my car. Oil changes are more expensive but actually last way longer than other cars if you get it done at the VW dealerships. Amazing vehicle! Very dependable!
