Battle of the Exes: 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan SE AWD
Ex-wife and ex-husband “team” Brenda Priddy and John Priddy might not be a couple any longer, but they’ve agreed to evaluate a new car together in what Leftlane hopes will be come a popular semi-regular series of reviews called “Battle of the Exes: Car reviews from ex-spouses.”
The first subject to be dissected by this he said/she said couple: A 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan SE 4Motion, Volkswagen’s latest entry into the burgeoning small SUV/crossover class. Let’s see what the couple thinks…
She says
Truth is, we’ve always been a bit partial to Volkswagens. The styling, fun factor and price point put three different models in our driveway (when it was “ours”) at the same time. Everyone in our then-household had a VW – everyone except me. And yet, I think I was the primary decision-maker for all three purchases, but Volkswagen didn’t offer the 4Motion all-wheel-drive option in the vehicle I desired, so I stuck with an ever-dependable Subaru.
My mother drove a New Beetle – as it was the only car that she was able to see “over” the steering wheel and not just “through-it.” And our daughter bought a Jetta when she went off to college – as it was the least expensive car (at that time) with side airbags. And “He” – well, he dragged me to car dealerships for five straight weekends looking for pickup trucks. And he drove every truck out there – at least three times.
Finally, on our last trip to the dealership, as he was fretting over a Dodge Ram, I pointed to a shiny sliver GTI across the lot and said, “screw the truck, THAT’S what you REALLY want!” We wrapped up the deal and were quickly outta there with the GTI.
So, like I said – even with our separate and single status, we’re all a bit partial to Volkswagens and everyone, including my Jetta-driving daughter, was fighting over the keys when the sapphire blue (metallic) Tiguan showed up Thanksgiving weekend.
And the most difficult part about driving the Tiguan? Getting the keys away from the ex!
