Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Tiguan or RAV4?

[@sinphus]

RAV4

[@Brutemandave]

Tiguan test drove both SUVs and preferred the looks, on road ride, and refined quietness of the motor. So I recently bought the 2024 R Line black. My Canadian version has good feedback through the steering wheel.

[@citylimitpowersportsllc5872]

Just goty SE R-Line Black 2wd in silver. Absolutely LOVE it!

[@Mirror1973]

I got one exactly like the one being reviewed same colors same trim ❤ I love it as well best value IMO

[@DJCARLRAMOS112]

JUST GOT MINE. LOVE IT SO FAR...

[@jimbrown5552]

Thanks again for sharing

[@loufrank2518]

just got the sel r line love it in kings red

[@debdixon6272]

Sounds great!

[@dwnshft]

:)

[@jimbrown5552]

Just ordered one

[@willmcneal]

Outback or Tiguan or Santa Fe ?
Which one u pick

[@masterofktulu]

Just bought one, the SE, it does NOT come with auto high beams as standard.

[@GMackswife]

Had the Atlas Sport, they talked me into getting this! Now I’m stuck for 2 years! Still pissed!

[@TheMlvswoll]

Just got a 2024 and test drive a cross sport thinking it would be a night and day difference due to the engine and turbo. Not so much Atlas is heavy and not quick.

[@jimbrown5552]

Watching from Ireland

[@maddiegee]

No fog light?

[@dnice362]

Fantastic for the moneys

[@dwnshft]

hard to argue indeed

[@frankguerrero8986]

I have 2023 Tiguan R line black fwd my mpg is at around 32 to 35 only thing I wish it had more HP but it does ride pretty good on the highway

[@citylimitpowersportsllc5872]

Get the ARP stage 1 tune and you will LOVE it. My buddy's dad has that on his and I'm getting mine done soon. Does not void warranty if you get it tuned at a dealer that is an ARP location!

[@TheMlvswoll]

@@citylimitpowersportsllc5872their plus tune 87oct includes a powertrain warranty

[@jimbrown5552]

We have had one for the last two years

[@scotchscott]

Why does this not have the same screens as the 2024 European model?

[@DefinitiveLove]

Because it’s not the same

[@scotchscott]

Helpful. Thanks

[@monaco28]

Its an old model. In Europe there is a new generation which is produced since 2024. There is no sense in buying this model

[@TheMlvswoll]

No sense in waiting for the euro model as that variant isn’t coming to NA.

[@baltukur3368]

nothing special you get all this with toyota honda Hyundai

[@sulaimansafi5457]

1 thing you should know. Avoid this car. Buy new RAV4 or Honda CRV
