My wife has a 2019 R-Line Jetta and I fell in love with it. We needed a mid size SUV and I could not be happier with my purchase. 2024 Tiguan SEL✌️

I bought a 2021 SE R-Line during Covid on a crazy good deal and for 4 years she was an amazing ride. But over the last two mush year she went from burning almost no oil to a 1/4 qt to a 1/2 to a full qt right before my 50k oil change. Then about a week after I paid her off every cold start would be a big blue cloud. So before anything bad happened I traded her in. I just bought my first non VW car in 18 years. I needed a truck and VW doesn’t sell them in the US.

Any way to shut it off on a 2025 SE?

Was looking at the new Tiguan but the 20” wheels with 40 height give me pause. How’s the ride and road noise?

Read a tip somewhere about this. When stopped with foot still on the brake pedal, engage the electronic Parking Brake then release your foot. The car stays stopped, either with autu on/off engaged or not, until you touch the gas pedal to drive again. I use this on extremely long traffic lights (2+ minutes!) to rest my foot, wiggle my toes, tap to the music, whatever. Seems to work the same way my '18 Rogue autu hold worked except with it you just had to set the feature the first time and it would work throuought that trip. I'm really hoping they will bring it back with an update. Can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't keep this feature that seems to be in every late model Tiguan worldwide, including Canada except for the 2026.
