Standard climate control system is refreshingly simple with only three knobs and two buttons.
great new nav system with a high-res 6.5-inch screen and 30-gig hard drive accessible through the optical drive or an SD card slot
One especially nice touch is the slots beneath the center console, which provide a secure resting place for our building access cards.
There are some cubby holes in the dash and slots in the doors for maps or water bottles, but they won't satisfy pack rats.
Sound quality on the audio system is poor at higher volume levels.

For 2011, the Tiguan gets a new lineup of alloy wheel designs, as well as new steering-wheel designs—including multi-function buttons for audio. Base S models get a new single-CD sound system, and an iPod adapter and voice-activated Bluetooth are now also standard on all models. The SEL model includes leather seats and push-button start, and roof-rack rails come with SE and SEL trims.
Noteworthy options include a sizable panoramic sunroof, a navigation system (improved for this year), and a music hard drive, and an iPod connection. The navigation and audio setup also includes DVD video playback when the vehicle is stopped, and an SD memory card slot. The top Dynaudio system remains offered only on the Tiguan SEL 4Motion model.
Conclusion
Though the 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan isn't priced quite as low as rival models, it offers lots of convenience and entertainment options.
