If you are still in the DC area, can you tell me if the panoramic sunroof lets in too much glare on days like Sunday 4/26/09? I normally enjoy light coming through a smaller sunroof or moonroof and am concerned if the panoramic roof lets in too much light.

I live in NJ and this weekend and today it was 92 degrees and SUPER SUNNY. I have a black Tiguan SE with 4WD and charcoal cloth interior. I found that it varies though out the day. At certain times the sun shines on my Navagation screen and depending on how the sun is sitting it bothers me and other times, it's fine, with only VERY minor glare. If I feel it's getting too warm inside, even with the AC, I close the sunshade forward and it's fine. It lets in just the right amount of light. Not too much, not too little, considering it has a "mesh-like" sunshade. Get the panoramic sunroof. We LOVE it and are glad we didn't decide against it. Hope this helps!

Tiguan SE w/Leather Purchase Price by bamatide01

Just wanted to give an update on my recent SE FWD purchase.
 
2009 FWD Alpine Gray Tiguan SE w/Leather and Pan. Sunroof in Nashville, TN:
 
Sale Price: $28,063 ($28 below invoice)
Tax (7.65%): $2,147 (sucks, but get $400-$500 back after tax deduction in 09)
Fees: $269
Total OTD: $30,479
 
I was originally going to purchase an 09 Honda CRV EXL (already had the deal worked out and ready to sign), but liked the way the Tiguan looked and drove much better and the 0% APR made it possible for me to go up a few thousand over the CRV price...plus there are just so many CRVs on the road. I wanted something different and the Tiguan has great user reviews...and I see why.
 
I'm loving the car so far, but has anyone else experienced a slightly delayed acceleration response when hitting the gas from a stopped position? It doesn't do it when I use the manual tiptronic shifter though. Just wondering if this is normal in the FWD Tiguan when in auto drive
 
Thanks.
Matt.

We picked up our 2009 Tiguan in Chicago. Here is the configuration:
 
2009 Tiguan SE 4Motion
Panoramic Moon Roof
Flap Guards
Mat Kit
 
$27,950 + Tag, Tax, Title
0% APR for 60 Months
Included $470 VW credit towards first installment under graduate financing
 
We turned down an offer from another dealer that included the Protection Kit ($300) and 18" New York Alloy Wheels ($400) for the same price. We paid the premium as we were keen on specific color and this dealership manage to procure it after a 10 days wait.
 
We were almost inclined towards CRV LX 4WD but the base model had a little unimpressive interior for the price you pay. When you compare the price/features of CRV upgrade (at usual 4-6% financing) to Tiguan (at 0% financing) there is not much difference in what you pay. But world of difference in your driving experience.
 
I don't have to promote Tiguan on the Tiguan forum. But those thinking of a CRV, just do yourself a favor and test drive a Tiguan. We were sold the moment we opened the door. Of course this is our second VW so there was always a bias.
 
The amount of electronics/electric controls are bit intimidating from maintenance perspective. Beyond warranty period, you always want to take the Tiguan to VW dealer only. So I guess purchasing an extended warranty is a must.
 
Bamatide01 - I observed a little delayed response when moving from a stop as well. And ours is a 4Motion. The power is bit intimidating in a stop and go traffic - so I guess we are glad there is a delayed response. I am not sure if it is intentional or some kind of design flaw though.

Tiguan 0% Financing Terms/Purchase Under Invoice by toddh3
May 07, 2009 (7:15 pm)

VW is now offering 0% as per their website but it does not state for how long. I spoke to one NJ VW dealership who said it was for only 36 months. Can VW dealerships offer the Tiguan for up to 60 months? Thanks!
 
Also, how much under invoice can I purchase a Tiguan SE with roof in NJ?
Additionally, is the 4motion option worth paying the extra $2k for? Any help would be great as I really like the Tiguan but as CR states "its pricey".

I live in South NJ and all the dealers are coming in at bigger nos in the $430 range with $1500 down just for the SE with roof not the 4motion. Can you please mention who the dealership is so I can call them?

Tiguan Problems? by venture5

I've seen a couple of comments about the Tiguan hesitating when starting from a dead stop. Has anyone had any other mechanical, finish or feature problems or issues? Thanks.

looking to trade in an 2007 odyssey by oddy

Planning on trading in an Odyssey, 25,000 miles, touring model. Can i expect a decent trade and still get a good price on a base model tiguan?? Was close to getting a crv but thought the VW would be a better product. Noticed there was a huge diff. between the base S and the next model up SE (in terms of usable extras - esp. for nearly $4K.
 
How is vw doing these days as a company and how 'motivated' are they to shift the tiguan specifically?
 
like another post said the finance offer is worded rather slick ie "as low as..." . That said one post did mention 0% for 60 months. Has anybody else been able to get this?
 
Funny - I never thought of getting a VW - always looked at the typical jap stuff ie honda, toyota - competition is great esp. in a crappy economy!

Just bought an SE, red/charcoal, hitch, mats, bluetooth - msrp $28519; internet dept threw in tint (charging $399) and window etching (charging $199) for a before TTL/doc fee price $25883. She was 28618 out the door. The SE seems to offer good value over the S (SE to SEL, not so much) and there seems to be more willingness to dicker on SEs, yet they do seem to have a lot of 'add on' type port options, mats, 18" wheels, etc. If any dealer is playing the 'no discount' or 'availability is limited' snob (a VW routine from the '80s) move on to the guy/gal who says 'we'll find you what you need' and 'we're dealing' (although availability on geman-built dubs like this will actually diminish starting now, dealers are just getting the last '09s now thru the next couple of weeks).
 
Max 36 month 0% in Phoenix from VW credit, don't know about the rest of the country.
 
Oddy, I worked at a VW parts dept as a student...the cars are fussy and can be expensive to maintain, but the fit/finish never make you feel like you're driving trash...nothing comes for free. VW's first quarter sales have been down, +/-20%, but not the +40% of the other guys; dealers seem to want to keep this momentum, plus there must be something unpublished VW of America is doing for dealers to account for these good deals people are getting. Re. trade, first find out what your car is worth (edmunds, cars.com) drive your trade there on buying day, tell them no trade, it's a great car, I'm keeping it. Make your best deal, and before you hit the finance guy, ask your salesman ok, what if I did trade it? I'm usually willing to eat as much as $1-1.5K vs. all the hassle of selling privately, but most dealers will never even give you that much...good luck! Get a Tig, you won't be sorry.

Which dealership did you get the deal for:??
 
'09 Tigaun SE 4 Motion Sun roof, Black
  
Northern NJ
2,000 down including all fees
36 Mos
15K (I need for my commute)
399.00 per month.
 
I'm looking to get one just like it, without 4motion, and 12k miles, so my lease should be less then $399, right??
