Mazda CX-5 or VW Tiguan?

VW is a better vehicle and will last for many years. German cars are built stronger and last longer. The Mazda is a nice vehicle but is cheaply built and plastic. The parts and labor for a VW are not going to break the bank. Be sure to find a solid mechanic that will take care of you and be sure to perform regular maintenance checks.
Mazda CX-5 Here the road test video of both: http://www.videobash.com/video_show/jeremy-clarkson-and-james-may-test-the-volkswagen-tiguan-and-mazda-cx-5-2519491
Mazda would be my pick. German vehicles are generally more expensive to repair and maintain. The Mazda should be more reliable.
Mazda CX-5 is by far the better vehicle when it comes to operating costs and reliability. You should check Consumer Reports and see that they recommend the Mazda CX-5 but not the VW Tiguan.
