Possibly looking for a Tiguan

[Lone_Par]

Alright folks. The wife bought a Ford Kuga back in March and whilst its been a decent car for her, the road noise coming from it is horrendous. I've kind of convinced her that a Tiguan is a better bet. Budget is around £16k so I know we are looking at a 59 or 10 plate with approx 30k on the clock. Realistically we will be looking to go through a VW dealer as we will need to possibly take a small amount of finance to cover what we get for the Kuga.

Anyway - any other Tiguan owners able to advise what to look out for and what optional extras are worth trying to get?

Cheers

Cheers but apparently now that's not our budget, but a brand new Q3 sline Quattro is........women eh.

We have one as a works car.  Drives well but clutch is quite heavy when stuck in traffic.  Boot isnt very big, very short first gear but it has a nice amount of torque.  Virtually no extras on ours, not even cruise control.  I do like it and would consider one (with more spec).  High up driving position, handles well and 'feels' safe to be in.   HTH

Golfman has one also. Might be worth a PM.

Do these have anymore interior space than a Golf, or is it all about the driving position?

Rents had one for 2 weeks.. TDI, black wtih cream leather, very nice all round, however this one had some serious electrical gremelins and went back.  I  found the gearbox no where near as nice as the GTI.
