No way to mechanically put the car into neutral for a tow and dealership says that's my problem not theirs. Love the knarly tires 17 inch.

It's to be expected with any high-riding vehicle. The steering wheel will be heated and leather-wrapped. Unlike most prototypes, the Tiguan in these photos was completely undisguised. Pot holes and speed bumps are not subtly smothered. The trouble is, it's the only engine available. I've owned other brands but, always seem to go back to Volkwagen.
The Tiguan will get some similar design cues from the Atlas model and those include the same horizontal grille, lower fascia, and bumpers. Soft-touch, low-sheen surfaces drape its front doors and dashboard. Access to the second row is via one of the biggest door openings this side of a Boeing 737. The results are predictably leisurely, but we like its cosseting ride quality enough to give it a 6 out of 10 for its performance. Adults struggle in the third row. Be that as it may, even the base model will provide a lot of headroom and legroom as well as the space for your cargo due to its longer wheelbase.
