TheCarConnection.com's editors read the latest reviews on the new 2008 Volkswagen Tiguan to write this comprehensive review. Our car experts also drove the Volkswagen Tiguan in Europe and in the U.S., to be able to deliver our definitive opinion on the car, to compare it with other cars in the class, and to give you the best advice when other reviews have conflicting opinions.The little brother of the Volkswagen Touareg, the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover vehicle in the vein of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. A derivative of the Volkswagen Rabbit platform, the 2009 Tiguan sports a choice of front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. A 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo four is for now the only engine in the lineup, though a version of the new 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder is expected later in the model year. |
