The Volkswagen Tiguan is longer than the Volkswagen Golf and has a bigger boot. Inside, both cars give six-footers plenty of room in the back, with headroom and knee room, and both feature proper physical buttons on the steering wheel. If you carry three people in the back, the middle passenger will feel squished in the Golf, whereas a third passenger will be pretty comfortable in the Tiguan.
