VW Tiguan 2011-2012 feedback

[Dezouk]

Any bros driving a tiguan 2.0 tsi or sports? How's the ride in terms of
Fc , control , leg room , and the famous dsg Tran ? All feed back welcome thanks!

[Williee]

Tiguan is using wet clutch, no issues with its 7spd DSG.

FC may not be the greatest, but its doable.

 

Ride and power are very good, room is good too.

 

Go test drive and u will know what i mean.

Good suv...but blardy overpriced!!

[Paddie]

Doesn't look overpriced to me:

Fantastic ride for an SUV, no problem with gearbox, stage 1 , can go up to 240bhp, powerful, but basic interior

[Cluboxed]

the current Tiguan is on 6spd tiptronic...not dsg though..

[13177]

So 6spd tiptronic better or 7spd DSG better?

[Dezouk]

Oh I thought it's dsg 7 ? So tiptronic won't save much fuel than dsg I guess?

6spd tip was for the pre face lift model I think. Had a look a couple of months back. Catalogue says 7spd gb..

[Duckduck]

it has small boot space for an suv... duno y they made an suv which cant carry much...

It is a 7 speed DSG,but with "WET" clutch,same unit as the Audi's S-Tronic....because the Tiguan's engine is longtitude mounted.

the whole car looks huge from the outside

 

its small ?

or is it 3rd row can fold down to accomdate a larger boot space if required?

[Zeagle]

no third row; small boot for a suv. 2nd row can fold down if need to carry bigger loads.

[Dezouk]

So this dsg should not hv the same issues from the usual problematic dsg la?

[Watwheels]

Tiguan is on the Golf platform, wheelbase is pretty much the same. Why got ppl mention it has a 3rd row of seats?

 

It visually looks big but on the inside it's only as big as a Golf.

No 3rd row.

Difficult to say for German cars,my friend's P.I. Audi Q5 2L TFSI gearbox ECU just need replacement[cannot change gear],costs him over $4k to do it,car less than 3 years old,mileage about 80k Km.

Not too sure about that, it looks pretty transverse in this photo:
