Best Value for money drive

Vale for money car. I am talking about looks, features, safety, engine, service, bumpy road experience all best. Riding comfort is at best. For this budget, this car is good. . .

Volkswagen Tiguan

Bought the car after reviewing multiple options and must say the car is a beast. Power, features you get everything, comfort could have been slightly better but no complaints. Better than most other marquee brands if you look at the price value.
