Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        Is the overall roofline lower than a standard SWB Tiggy?

            Not a massive fan of this styling when BMW came out with it and can't say I've warmed to it.

            How to make a larger, practical vehicle less practical. So you just end up with the handling compromises from having a higher centre of gravity combined with the impracticality of a coupe. I guess if you're not after either of those then it's the perfect car for you.

                My god that is hideous. Looks like a Merc GLC or BMW X4 type thing (which are all horrible silly looking things) but somehow even worse.

                And whoever at VW is doing their wheel designs lately needs to be shot.

                  Yep, you nailed it.

                  It looks ugly anyway.

                    If based on the allspace the third Row seats will be a shocker in this.....��

                      Certain demographics buy these pointless vehicles.

                      To be fair, many people say the same about any SUV- “either buy a 4x4, or get a normal wagon”

                      I get the theory, but sometimes it’s worth sacrificing a bit of useable car size for the visibility and ease of getting in/out (and same for luggage)

                        For the couple times a year I wished I had a proper 4x4 like I used to to go out with mates/family on beach and bush drives, I much prefer the size and performance of the Tiguan to steering a boat like a Prado or Pajero.
