 I've been leading a 2016 Tiguan S for about a month and so far I am very happy with it. The stock stereo is great, it rides and drives like a Golf, the interior is well thought out and feels much higher quality than its price would imply. Not sure if VW rates their engines at the wheels but every FWD model I've seen dyno results on matches VW's power output claim, so in reality the engine is likely putting out 230+hp and 240+lb-ft, and it feels like it. I'm coming from a modified, 400hp Taurus SHO so I was expecting a huge let down. I'm quite happy with the getup and go this car has. I'm also averaging 20.5 mpg in the city (actual city) and 28 on the highway with cruise at 75. Now for my complaints: no satellite radio on the base model. Seriously? Almost everyone else has that. As a satellite radio subscriber this let me down, but not enough to outshine the merits of the rest of the carTrunk is small. Very small. Like can't fit my collie mix comfortably in the back with the rear seats fully reclined. Fortunately this can be overcome by sliding or angling the seats forward.All things considered I think this is the most underrated small SUV on the market
