The wonderful thing about Tiguans

Is Tiguans are wonderful things

Kind of.

Got this as a rental while my Suburban is in the body shop for getting rear ended by a school bus. Had a choice between this and a Yukon. With no immediate need for the Suburban I thought I’d maybe save on gas a bit.

With a near identical interior as my last Golf, I was right back at home.

Something VW doesn’t get enough credit for is their fantastic window sill and center arm rest height. Perfect for window down cruising. Just a nice place to be.

My Suburban has an armrest but it sits a little low, and the window sill is so far away I can just about rest my wrist on it. My Lexus has perfect window sill positioning but the arm rest is fixed and too far back and low.

I think I want another VW. Not a Tiguan but maybe another GTI or one of them Alltracks.

I should’ve taken the Yukon.

All I can think is “your Suburban got rear-ended by a bus, and it’s not totaled?!” Must have been pretty low speed or a really new Suburban.

I have the Tigger song stuck in my head now.

Very low speed. Just bent the bumper and mounting bracket a bit.

It’s another gmt800.

Sadly no barn doors.

And this one I just got in march after losing my last one to a freakin’ beetle,lol.

I tried and failed to turn it into a song about Tiguans.

I’m shocked they didn’t write it off... Being old and stuff. If someone totaled my Suburban, I’d be pretty temped to get a squarebody. Who am I kidding- my wife would never consent. Yeah, I’d buy another GMT800.

I got as far as

Their tires are made from rubber
Their suspension uses springs

And called it quits.

The repairs are at about 1/7th of the purchase price so far.

VW royally screwed up the brakes on that car. I don’t get how or why considering the rest of their cars all have a great brake pedal, but in that car it’s an on/off switch which is really annoying.

I’ve just never been able to take them seriously after I learned the name was a portmanteau of tiger and iguana.
