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: batman47 (Feb 05, 2008 1:58 pm) Subaru meanwhile is the best when it comes to AWD (not 4X4). Subaru does AWD better than any car on the road. Too bad they aren't offering Clean Diesel. they are the second most reliable car on the road too. Own the Outback. I wouldn't look at a VW except for the Diesel factor, I just want to know when it gets here and how much it will cost. |

Just got back from the NY International Auto Show. One of the vehicles on my list to checkout was the new Tiguan. I found it kind of bland looking.Boring wheels and tires. Interior isn't to bad looking.Was hoping for an aggressive looking off road version...Also interested in the diesel version when it finally gets here eventually. But the way diesel fuel prices are going, its gonna have to get a real high number. Looks like i'm going to pass on this....

I've heard VW will hold off exporting a newer model of the Sirocco because of currency markets. What does it look like? Is it offered in a diesel?
