The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan is back and better than ever this year. We had the chance to drive it around Montana this week to see how the compact SUV handled, and we were impressed. Volkswagen had all the trim levels out for driving, but I spent time in the SE and SEL R-Line during our 24 hours together. What’s new for 2025, you ask? VW made many thoughtful changes and upgrades to the Tiguan to improve the compact SUV in the areas that matter most: safety, comfort, and accessibility.

We spent our days on the city streets and even drove on Alligator Alley for a quick trip and some highway testing. We drove with the top down and the air conditioning blasting, as well as with the top up and the air conditioning blasting.

The 1988 ECD Classic Land Rover Defender 110 ST hails from Kissimmee, Florida, where ECD Automotive Design brought it into the modern times with some nicely executed upgrades. This Defender, nicknamed Project Dorset, is part of the company’s new County Collection, inspired by the UK’s most iconic counties. We took it out in Naples, Florida, to track down some alligators. Not only did it enable us to see alligators, but we also saw a donkey. Don’t worry, he wasn’t near the alligator.
