Oh I agree so much. I’ve had 3 VW tiguans and they’ve progrssively gotten worse in quality. (Leases an 18 ,20, and now 24) each time the lease early buy back offer worked heavily in my favor and I am no longer in a position in life where I need to lease a vehicle so this 24 will be the last lease, but honestly my last VW as well.

On the topic of those dumb lights. The dealership I was at had a “price breakdown” for features and claimed those lights ‘only’ added 5 dollars a month to the monthly payment. I mean I know car dealerships will do everything for a penny but that just set me off.

“Only” 😂😭 I hope the ‘24 serves you well for years to come! I have my car paid off in Oct and I hope to keep it until the wheels fall off and the engine blows up!

Edit: they have tried to buy it back at least once a year and I couldn’t be less interested.
