 I have only had the car five weeks and not put on much mileage so many of the review items I cannot comment on right now. The car looks great and handles very well.  Average to low on road noise - too quiet and I would not have a feel of the road. I have not learned yet how to utilize all the electronics and cannot offer info on fuel mileage after only one tank refill.  It had an engine gliche right away which was quickly taken care of by the dealership and now runs very well.  It is just the right size SUV so I do not have to "climb" in to  it - kind of just step in which is great since I am not very tall 5'5".  Easy to get out of the car.  I am coming from a VW Golf so size is a bit of an adjustment when it comes to driving and maneuvering.  Wish I did not have to bend my head at all to get in but its just a bit so we will let that slide since the alternative would be a boxier look which I did not want. The lines of this car are great.   So many positions for the driver seat makes it possible to get it just right.  Very spacious cargo area because I do not use the third row of seats at all and keep them folded down all the time.  Overall I like the car very much, am a Volkswagen fan and would recommend the Tiguan.  LOVE THAT ORANGE COLOR. Can give a better review of things in six months to a year.
