I just bought my first Tiguan. I am one of those people who take FOREVER to decide on a car. It came down to the Tiguan and the Edge. The dealer I worked with was the sale, they where more willing to work with me. The Edge was nice but I really wanted that butt warmer for living in Norh America. Just resently went over the Rockies with the Tiguan and was TOTALLY impressed no stress at all it handled the Rockies like it was just another hill to climb.
So this is a big deal for me as a die hard Ford fan married to a VW Guro who owned every make and model of VW on the planet.

I haven't really thought about moding my Tiguan out. I haven't done that since my old 69 Mustang.
