German Engineered 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL

History
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover vehicle manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen. Introduced in 2007, it uses the PQ35 platform of the Volkswagen Golf. All first generation Tiguans featured two row seating and transverse mounted four-cylinder engines.

The name Tiguan, pronounced TEE-gwan, is a portmanteau of the German words Tiger ("tiger") and Leguan ("iguana") and won a naming contest by German car magazine publisher Auto Bild, from a field of names that also included Namib, Rockton, Liger, Samun and Nanuk.

Sharing its mechanical architecture with the Rabbit, the Tiguan is almost exactly the same size as the Escape, but it's three to seven inches shorter than the CR-V and RAV4, respectively.

Features & Options
Not unexpectedly for a German machine, the Tiguan SEL we have at Skyway Classics, drives beautifully. Its steering is accurate and feels just about perfectly weighted.

It has a White Gold exterior with a Sandstone interior with all the factory options you can think of like radio with integrated CD player, semi automatic climate control system, four electric window lifts, electrically adjustable and heated outside mirrors, trip computer, RF remote control of central locking and various storage compartments and bins.

It also has alloy wheels, chrome roof rail, chrome strips on front bumper and surrounding side window lining, tinted windows, sport seats with height adjustable lumbar supports center console with folding and height adjustable armrest, folding front passenger seat, drawers under the front seats, folding table and storage pockets on the backs of the front seats, leather for steering wheel, gear shift knob and gear shift boot, fabric seats with Alcantara accents, cruise control system and tire pressure indicator and so much more.

The suspension is tautly controlled yet compliant on rough roads. And for a tallish vehicle weighing the better part of two tons, it displays excellent nimbleness and grip, achieving 0.81 g with its 235/50R-18 all season tires.

The Tiguan's powertrain is similarly satisfying. The combination of the turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 200 horses and a six-speed automatic driving all four wheels propels the SUV to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds and through the quarter in 16 flat at 88 mph.
