What I wanna' know is how come a 269hp, 6cyl 3.5L, larger and slightly heavier RAV-4, gets better fuel economy than the smaller 200hp 2.0T engined Tiguan? 18/24 for the Tiguan- gulping PUG. 19/29 for RAV4. Sipping RUG no less. heck, even the heavier and much larger Murano, with a much more powerful and larger engine is rated at 18/23. I would have thought that a modern, small SUV like the Tiguan- using a new 2.0L 4 cyl Turbo would be getting better mileage. I guess this mpg thing isn't an easy problem to solve.

Replying to: verdugo (May 21, 2008 9:52 am) the only question is, how good are they now about handling a "Lemon" problem? after the 3rd time unsatisfactory repair job there is a replacement ...etc. I have the florida lemon law book. Are they going to bitchy about it?

Replying to: feliciatwo (Jun 11, 2008 4:52 am)  Not sure I understand the question. My dealer is really good, but others aren't. Hopefully yours is.

Replying to: praz (Jun 11, 2008 8:12 am) "However, to minimize the possibility of an engine surge, do not operate the air-conditioning in your vehicle until the recall work has been performed" Right on time for the summer. Looks like it's just a software fix. So hopefully they'll get it right the first time around. For the hesitation problem on the 3.6L engine on my Passat, it took 2 tries and about a year. |
