#40 of 127 Re: No Tiguan Diesel in the US. [batman47] by akboss Feb 14, 2008 (12:59 pm)
Replying to: batman47 (Feb 05, 2008 1:58 pm) I would also be interested in comparisons for these SUV's: 2009 Tiguan vs. Oultander vs. Forester. I want a sporty, safe and economical 4x4 that is somewhat inspiring, and these seem like the best options. Just tried out a Rogue the other day, almost barfed. Honda Element is actually a very cool truck, but its slow. Maybe VW can inject some interest in this ubiquitous market...lets just hope they've figured out how to work electrical.
#41 of 127 Tiguan at NY Auto Show by birdboy Feb 14, 2008 (4:53 pm)
I called VW USA to confirm that the Tiguan will be shown this year, they siad it will be there . I have had 2 Passats and despite the few problems I have had I seem to come back as there is no drive quite like it. My 2.0T purrs when it is warmed up and drives extremely well EXCEPT in the snow. I have test drove the Rogue. A nice looking product, priced right, nice options, but the engine and the CVT transmission I did not care for.It was much to noisy and I like feeling the gears shift. I also hope that the Tiguan will be the one for me. I hope to get mid - upper twenties in gas mileage . My FWD Passat gets 30-32 on long trips.I also hope that I can get an Auto dim mirror as it was not an option on the 2.0 in 2006. I am also going to consider the newly designed outback. The CRV is out due to poor seat comfort. The Rav4 is out due to that Wheel on its back. The Santa Fe AWD is out due to low MPG( 17-22 on a good day)

My main complaint about the current compact SUV segment is that rearward visibility is in most cases reduced, and in some cases downright hazardous. This was my biggest complaint with the Rogue, the thing I liked best about the Element, and another reason I think the Tiguan will do well.
#43 of 127 Chicago Auto Show (Tiguan) by vwdriver2 Feb 15, 2008 (2:17 pm)
After waiting for over two years, I finally got a first hand glimpse of the Tiguan at the Chicago Auto Show. VW brought two Tiguans, one was fully loaded (panaromic roof, 18' wheels, nav, pretty much everything) while the other didn't have as much. One was grey while the other was liquid gold or something like that. I have to tell you, it looks even better in person! I spoke with some reps and they confirmed the May release date. I am kind of concerned because I heard that there was great demand for the Tiguan overseas and there was a waiting list so we will have to see. Knowing VW, the date will probably be pushed back...but I will definitely be getting one as soon as I see one! ">

Replying to: vwdriver2 (Jun 29, 2007 12:59 pm) Would you happen to know if the VR6 or the other VW V6 will be offered in the Tiguan at inception, at a later date, or not at all? Thanks. Replies to this message: vwdriver2 (Feb 17, 2008 5:10 pm)

Replying to: vwtiguanfan (Feb 16, 2008 11:07 pm) No, the only two engines that will be offered are the 2.0T and the TDI. I am sure that VW is doing this to keep fuel efficiency as high as possible. The 2.0T is rated at 200hp as is more than enough for such a small SUV.
#46 of 127 disappointed by akboss Feb 18, 2008 (10:09 am)
I was looking forward to the tiguan as much as anybody, but just got back from the toronto auto show and was disappointed in the fit and finish of the vehicle. For the price, it should be noticeably better equipped and feel of a better build quality than its competition (Rogue, CR-V, Outlander, etc) but first impressions revealed the opposite. Is this the product of VW's cost-cutting measures? Hopefully not, and I'm still positive that a real-world test drive will bring out qualities in this truck that seem to be missing. It also seemed 'cramped', especially in back where it feels like a sub-compact. One of the more impressive vehicles in this area was actually the Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 4x4, loaded its the same price as an entry Tiguan. Its been around for a while, but it still looks great and it never even crossed my mind to consider this vehicle until I had the chance to compare.

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 19, 2008 8:06 am) touchscreen Nav, Pan.Sunroof...I can't remember the exact MSRP, but it was between $26-$27K. Pricing hasn't been released yet, but the info was given to me from the dealer rep. that attended a meeting a few days ago.
