    James Wong
    Production Editor
    James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
    Hits
    • Silly fast for a family wagon
    • Retains the regular Tiguan's strengths
    • Bargain compared to rival Euro fast SUVs
    Misses
    • Only looks special in Lapiz Blue
    • Australia misses out on full-fat Euro tune
    • Some cabin elements are a bit dated
