Consumer Reports, one of the more conservative rating organization, loves the new 2.5 Rabbits and Jettas and makes them recommended buys. Certainly rated much better than a number of recent Toyotas. TrueDelta and others have long found no significant difference between the MkVs (on which the Tiguan is based) and typical cars from Japanese manufacturers. European sites are even clearer about this, and the Tiguan is selling like hot cakes, over there. Moreover, Diesel VWs have traditionally been yet more reliable, with engines easily lasting between 200,000 and 400,000 miles. The Diesel Tiguan may come as early as early next year - not "late date 2010." No one knows for sure, at this point. Blame the horrific exchange rates... I wouldn't buy one without a Diesel.

Replying to: rv65 (Apr 27, 2008 11:47 am) Meanwhile, if electric is the ONLY issue it has problems with ----nothing else works right when the Sending unit & other elec. doen't work. I got over having ele. problems when I owned a Jeep Wrangler (it goes where its' towed to). Great motor...just wouldn't start due to electric. What about the VW dealerships. How are they to deal with? Would have gotten a mini cooper clubman if it had been Diesel. May get it anyway Your thoughts. |

4F0 051 510 E This is the part number for the iPod cable. This only applies to those who have the navigation system with the MDI. (Media-Interface aka Media-In) You can purchase this part at the local dealer. They should be able to order it. This will allow full integration of the iPod. No video support though. No album art either but much better than the VW iPod adaptor. It even shows the song info on the MFI display. Hope this helps. |

| Now updated. Mentions the new RNS-510 navigation systems. Even says that it's bluetooth capable. I guess bluetooth is finally coming. | |

SEL model, with AWD.. sunroof and NAV.. MSRP = $37K!!  I guess you'd compare it to an Acura RDX at about the same price... but, those aren't selling, either.. |

| VW will be releasing a Bluetooth kit within the next 6 months. Will have full RNS-510 integration with touch screen dialing. This new kit will probably have the Bluetooth A2DP in addition to the usual hands free profiles. The A2DP profile allows you to stream music from your phone to the RNS-510 headhunit. The RNS-510 integration is quite good. Touch screen dialing, Contact list, settings, answer/recieve, and 6 different phone number presets. Hope this helps. | |
