Just picked up a 2012 model with only 55k on the clock and a full detailed service history from VW only and one owner from new. Love it

Run only best fuel and change oil regularly, otherwise you'll have huge issues with intake manifolds and carbon build-up in the intake valves, due to vent air from PCV containing oil and fuel vapours containing contaminants from poor quality fuel and dirty oil. I have a 2010 TSI Tiguan with more than 200k kms, always run on premium 98 (in Australia), oil and air filter change every 10k km, and a Forge catchcan system to take vent air from PCV and feed back to main air intake without going through manifold. My car is running nicely on all original engine, manual gearbox, pumps. Another huge common issue with Tiguan is oil leaks that saturates the water pump, causing a leaky and faulty pump, I normally put in a bottle of sealer with polymer (Liqui Molly) with every oil change, no leaks with my Tiguan after 200k kms.

I'm looking to purchase one to tow a caravan. They look well capable and have been considering the Ford Kuga.

This car still looks good nowadays it ages really well, I guess that is a good advantage of VW.

@@TheDetherion you won't regret it. My 2013 Tiguan never disappointed me. The only thing that is done is MOT and annual service, that's it. Excellent car.

I had a VW beetle turbo that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, someone hit me and totaled my car. I wanted something bigger but felt similar to my bug. I chose the Tiguan. It drives so similar to my bug but safer. I recommend.

2:03 Wait what? There is an electronic handbrake as opposed to a regular handbrake? I'm concerned as he quickly mentioned it's expensive to fix...has anyone ever had issues with their handbrake? I hate fiddly ''technology advances'' that turn out to be more of a hassle than a regular feature.

If you are doing a used car review please please mention whether the engine(s) uses a cambelt, the recommended interval, and average cost. This is a big cost which used car buyers will need to factor in.

I own both Tiguan and Golf, the Tiguan driving experience is very similar to the Golf. I also service both myself and the mechanical setup are very similar too.
