The Australian Tiguan handles very well, with high levels of adhesion, a flat cornering stance and only a gentle front-end push when really trying hard. The only downside is the light steering that lacks in feel and feels a little vague on-centre. Overall, though, the Tiguan goes straight up towards the sharper end of the compact SUV class for its handling ability. Ride quality is best described as firm yet supple on the standard 16-inch wheels.The six-speed automatic transmission is smooth enough, with only the occasional non-silken shift. Unless in Sport or manual mode, the six-speed starts in second gear. The six-speed manual is a little clunky and can be hard until you’re accustomed to the neutral plane’s stiff spring-loading to find second gear in a quick three-two downshift, but otherwise is an enjoyable transmission to shuffle gears with.
