definitely not. Its an offroader with focus on offroading, so the tiguan handles more like a 4x4 offroader and worse than a normal road car on the road.

Maintenance bill will shock you too.

My mistake, looks like i forgot about the toureg which is the offroader and terrible onroad. Seems like the tiguan is the tamer version. From the looks of it, its meant for more of some towing and focus on long road trips and not offroading. However its still a german brand and they do cost high on maintenance.

take off the VW badge, perhaps stick great wall or cherry on it, would you buy it? if the answer is no then you're buying the badge, not the car, which explains their point. many have had it with bad brands, brands that are unreliable and brands that have terrible service when something goes wrong. Thats why japanese brands and ford thrive in germany, despite the most recognisable car brands in the same country, people have had it with the constant mechanical problems and bad customer service that they overcome their arrogance to buy local or that their engineering is superior, and opt instead for a japanese car or ford. even the korean brands are gaining heart there too.

I can put it to you another way. How about i make a special ferrari, it has a v16 engine, is a hybrid with focus on performance, and make it one of the best to drive with only 1 caveat, you cant drive it on the road, or that it wont drive on the road. Yes this exists and only a select people are allowed to buy it, and you have to call ferrari whenever you want to drive it on the track. You cant bring it home with you or just go to work with it. This is essentially the attitude of many people who buy german cars, they look past the bs and just want to own it no matter how bad it is. Just test driving wont do you justice, you gotta know what you are buying. Just like how many people think honda build quality is good and recommend it over toyota when it really isnt.

sounds like you dont even know german cars. 60k service does more than just replacing fluids and filters. Some internal parts are changed too. The germans time every part in servicing schedule, because they're designed to break after that.

Thats 4-5k. This guy is ignorant as hell.

ask the engineer/mechanics that work on it. Some actually do youtube and have all sorts of information you can find out.

i wasnt? the post before that quoted 5k could be for an older model. Infact why not quote the guy and ask what items was serviced during the 65k service. Im not going to do your work for you.
