Hello,
I think about to buy 2014 VW Tiguan 1.4TSI MT around 60-70.000 km (43k miles) but is it reliable?
In EU finding parts are not so hard for VW group and cars are made in Germany. I dont prefer the automatic transmission because all use DSG and with city traffic I heard a lots of problem. Also there is 4WD option but I think FWD one because its cheaper to maintain. Some says reliable, some says no stay with the Japanese cars, but I am afraid Japanese manufacturers because they kind a lost their trend for making reliable cars.
Thank you!
Well you're in Europe. Parts are easier to get mechanics now to fix them and it's not that stupid dual clutch transmission so it could be a decent vehicle.
How long do you plan to have it? It is a turbocharged petrol engine. Not a great engine as any of turbocharged petrols by VW.
Here are some information about it

@g-t I was planning to keep it for like 3-4 years but yes my friends also warns me about the TSI engines in general good for the first owners then the problems begin and it can be costly since they are complicated. Thanks for the infos 🙂
You are welcome. For such short period it usually does not matter what you get. Road test it and see if it suits you
