Right i'm in the hunt for a new car got my eyes on the above, but the GTI has got 6000 on the clock demo car on a 10 plate at 27 grand leather ,RNS, DSG, winter pack, I think its got xenon's. The GTD would be a 5 month wait , the Tiguan would come through in May. My Mrs wants the Tig and I want the other ones ether way ??
Your views and thoughts would be nice to hear thanks guys
PS bare in mind its got to be a 5 door due to new baby. :kiss:

I have 2 kids, both still quite young and the GTI is perfect for getting us around day-to-day. Roof bars and a roof box gets us to Cornwall in the summer without any problems.
The Tig is a nice car if you get the R Line version, but it aint no GTI :evil:

I will admit I'm toying with swapping to a Tiguan...purely from the practicality point of view, in all weathers.
I like them...they drive similar to a Mk6 Golf if in Sport/R spec and the ability to easily load them up and go anywhere in all weathers appeals.
Obviously a GTD Golf will give the best economy, and the GTI Golf the best performance...but a Tig has plenty going for it.
I'd probably go 140TDI, and most likely 7 speed DSG....which gives running costs similar to running a GTI in terms of fuel economy and servicing, but will far better all year round usability and without the temptation to go fast (and, ahem...get caught going fast!).

Steve: Don't get the Tiguan unless you want to drive a balmange. I drove one and hated it. You don't need to drive a hearse just because you've got a kid. Effing stupid car for London.
Sensible choice: 5 door GTD or slightly less sensible choice 5 door GTI. :smiley:
Unless you want 4WD!!! :grin:

Tigs look nice but they are based on a renault koleos beneath the skin :sick: if you want a softroader go for a freelander 2 :wink:
5 door golfs are big enough for most families and are very safe :wink:
Contact VW customer services to find out who has what in stock and where, it's how I located my GTD :wink:

You can always look at this used GTD, a bargain at £32,995, I know I say this a lot but the worlds gone bloody mad.....

Handles better. Rides better. Looks better. Costs less. It is slightly less roomy than the Tiguan.
The Kuga 2.0TDCi 163 Titanium 4WD is the one to get and lists at £24,995.
The equivalent Tiguan 2.0TDi 170 R line 4WD lists at £27,965. :rolleyes:

You are wrong! It is available with Powershift auto!!!! Just checked. :grin:

SteveP has a Tig iirc. Maybe worth asking his views.
Maybe contact evo1986 to find out whats in VW stock and maybe give him your buisness for the help.

We looked at everything from Tig's to rav4's etc to ensure the freelander was the best all rounder - it was and comes with a massive spec list, memory heated seats, alpine pro logic hifi, Bluetooth, panoramic roof, actual 4x4 capability etc

We have an rline dsg demo car and it is very bouncy driving round. The match is the car to get and what everyone wants as spec is great and ridiculous resale value.

Utter horsesh!t!
From the man who drives his GTI in 'comfort' because the rest are too stiff!!
A Sport/R line Tig is little softer than a GTI Golf...and better damped than a GTI in comfort!
I took one along some back roads to find out...they drive like any non-GTI Mk6.
As for the size...it's no bigger than a Golf...20mm or so in any direction except height...so hardly huge.

I was told you cant get a diesel 170 tig dsg ?? :undecided:
-
The R line is a bit firm so i'm told , but ive never driven an R line Tig what do people think ? :undecided:
As previous.
I'm considering one...similar to a ACC GTI in comfort...firm, but not overly so.
I like them...I'd rather pay the extra over a Kuga.
-
I think Asker is having another one of those "moments" :laugh:
I have a Tig R Line DSG and it's a great alround car, nothing like some of the opinions I have read here. Also it's based on a Golf (not a renualt) and shares a lot of the suspension with the Passat. I much prefer using the Tig in London than the GTI.
However I would say buy the Mk6 GTI 5 door instead (but that's only because I want to sell mine :grin:)

I have driven a couple of Tiguan's I think they are really nice, if I ever had the money I would buy one.

You and I both know that Steve...
Common platform to the Mk5/Mk6 Golf/Passat...same Haldex 4x4 system. ETKA tells you what's common...dash = Golf Plus, suspension a mix and match, as you say.
Tig R-Line is a nice car...not cheap if you hit the extras (£37k I get to), but a good car that drives like a Mk5/Mk6 golf.

Right i'm in the hunt for a new car got my eyes on the above, but the GTI has got 6000 on the clock demo car on a 10 plate at 27 grand leather ,RNS, DSG, winter pack, I think its got xenon's. The GTD would be a 5 month wait , the Tiguan would come through in May. My Mrs wants the Tig and I want the other ones ether way ??
Your views and thoughts would be nice to hear thanks guys
PS bare in mind its got to be a 5 door due to new baby. :kiss:
I changed an Outlander 4 X 4 for a Golf GTI. The wife wanted another Outlander for the higher up driving position and a feeling of safety.
Thankfully the GTI won the day. If you really want to enjoy your driving go for the GTI. My wife now loves the GTI and so far it's as piratical a car as we need.
If MPG is an issue then the GTD is for you , just remember it is a heavier car and although still good to drive it's not as agile as a GTI.
The Tiguan is one ugly lady which through a short time will want you changing car. Piratical but no fun.
-
Steve: Listen to the Captain. Get a GTI or a GTD with five doors and forget about that horrid thing with a name that thankfully escapes me. :wink:
Just realised that it's called a Piguan. :sick:
-
Have you seen the size of the boot in the Tiguan steve????
Its not exactly Pram friendly, alot smaller and shallower then the Golf...
Id get a 5 door Variant of what youve got personally if the GTD already ticks your boxes mate.

I'd pretty much agree with that, and the facelift isn't a pretty one on the Pissrat.
I have developed a bit of a thing for Passat CCs lately though. :kiss:
I saw a rather attractive lady getting out of a black one the other day, that might have helped my developing thing.

The Phaeton is a unbelievable second hand buy. Under 10,000 on the clock for the price of a GTI
It has every extra and more as standard. I have been in one and you hear no wind or road noise. It has double glazing and a V6 diesel 4 wheel drive.
Only thing about these big salons including the Passat and superb is they are fantastic if you only do motorway driving. Put them onto a B road and the whole point of a gti is answered.

Guy at work bought a '10 reg Octavia vRS with 9,000 miles on it last week and it only cost £15k The boot is massive and it felt well screwed together. Quite impressed me

Amen to that.
I've got so much junk in my garage that the GTI only just fits in there too, no chance of getting anything bigger.

The Passet CC is another option ?? They look very smart 170 sport ?? :undecided:

The CC looks quite nice.
Don't you want a hatch/estate?
Just planning ahead for the pram, travel cot, then a bike.....
Do the seats fold down ?
-
I'm not sure if they fold down TBH havin driven the CC , saw one in white fully loaded very nice :drool:
-
The CC is lovely but remember it is only a 4 seater just in case that would be a hindrance.

The new spec ones of the last 8 months are 5 seat cars. Gt spec has sensors f+r, Bluetooth, nav,nappa leather, 18inch wheels, acc, 2 zone climate. Ridiculous amount of car for £25k and looks the nuts. Sold one today black with black and beige 2 tone nappa bargain

Cheers Lee that's good to know as I had originally went looking at the CC before the Golf and couldn't believe they only had 4 seats.

Which nav is it Lee? very nice motor all the above standard then?

Allocation is even worse for passat cc than gti. Factory order lead times probably 6/9 months. Doesn't help there is a shortage of 2.0 tdi engines so vw are taking a few thousand off skoda : )
-
Only downside is it comes with rns310 sat nav as standard which is not hard drive based so you have to keep the disc in to use it. Yep all standard on gt trim but no mdi, still memory card reader and aux in front of head unit though.

Steve: Don't bother with the CC. Looks like a kebab and not as practical as the Golf. It is a waste of road space IMO and depreciates beautifully. :lipsrsealed:

One of my neighbours has one and it's pretty tidy actually. Agree with you on that.

Agree with Asker on this one.
5 door hatch or estate if you have kids. Sooo many reasons why.
