The 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan is a five-passenger compact SUV that offers a more premium driving experience than the competition. The quiet and comfortable cabin helps take the edge off long drives, while the powerful turbocharged engine and sporty handling keep things fun. Fuel economy isn't a strong suit of the Tiguan, though, and it doesn't offer as much cargo space as some of its rivals.
