2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Its OK, but could be better. I see 21-22 suburban, as much as 28 on long highway trips. Premium fuel is the bigger drawback.
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Less than I had hoped for at around 25mpg average.
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Bring the tdi diesel to the US and problem solved.
