I care about how slow it is. I don’t want 10+ seconds to 60.
It would've been perfect if it had a better engine. Alltrack comes to mind, but VW and pricy.
Alltrack or that Buick thing I guess. The engine is why I was thinking outback instead to get the sixer.

Shame stingers are so much money. Saw an orange one this weekend and it looked awesome. I think I’d like an AWD one. But too expensive for that badge.

I believe the turbo uses the gdi motor as well, same as the accent/elantra and the like, but obviously not exactly the same. Hope it's designed to be a bit more durable with hardware considering the power it makes.

The buick looks cool, obviously cannot speak about drivability, other than chevy like. The 1.8t I believe it uses the slushbox with that programming that makes it jerky when you wanna downshift :nope: but obviously both having GTI's, this should drive :notbad: I will concede having driven the previous tiguan as a loaner and a euro current tiguan, they are both night and day, just like the mk6 to mk7.

They're ridiculously well equipped for the price point. They've come 20% off the price so far.

I don't know why, when every other box is crossed.You won't find the "perfect" car... there is always some sort of compromise somewhere. A crosstranny is like 7k cheaper than a CX5/Rage4. Also has far better resale...
I care because it matters to me. I wouldn’t buy new it would be used and those are all the same price used.
NAWSS bro.

It's a midsize, so camry and accord is the competition, although this one isn't as bargey like their current models
