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,

Boot size has been a real deal breaker for me. This is the car I have wanted and was going to get but it just wasn't compatible with my family and two dogs so had to get something bigger.
Ever since I was young I wanted a VW Golf, then I got married and had a kid and got two dogs so naturally I looked at the Tiguan. After convincing myself it was the car for me I needed to look at it more practically and it just didn't tick that final box. Other than that I love it.

The other bag is an absolutely skinny basic bag (no offense to the owner of said bag), but for anyone with anything of usable size full of clubs (in terms or golf bags/cart bags), they wont fit in diagonally.

I should have checked, might have been better to get the RAV with the V6, who am I kidding, I love my Tig, apart from the glove box sized boot

After convincing myself it was the car for me I needed to look at it more practically and it just didn't tick that final box. Other than that I love it.and suddenly the GTI doesn't seem like a good idea. Then the Tiguan got launched. Had a look and realised that the boot space would be too small to put in the stroller, and the shopping, and would be an even tighter squeeze when we go on hols. I loved that the Tig was compact, just a little too compact for us. Would be great in a few years time when we no longer need to ferry the stroller around.
Originally posted by SanmanThe Golf wagon has the space you're looking for - and they're about to release it here. The load space is significantly bigger than the Golf/Tiguan, and it drives just like a Golf. I hire one every time I go to Germany -will sit on 180km/h all day even filled with kids and luggage..

The boot size was the reason why I originally crossed the Tiguan off my shopping list. I carry a lot of work gear around and also play in a band every other weekend so space was a big consideration.
In the end, it was the drive that won me over. No other cars in that price range felt as good and solid and sure-footed as the Tiguan.
I've been driving with one of the rear seats permanently down most of the time, and enjoying every minute of it.
But it's a personal choice, if the boost space is a deal-breaker then you might have to look elsewhere, go Skoda Scout or step up to the Toureg?

I haven't measured the travel, but I had to pick up some bulky stuff this morning, and the rear seat travel made all the difference, the boot space is quite good with the seat slid forward - and seems like there is at least 15-20cm of travel there for the back seats to slide on.
So by the looks of that photo the Golf clubs would fit easily with the back seat slid forward on its travelTiguan TSI Catalina blue, Manual

At the start of this thread is a pic of clubs that fit with no seat
movement. I was just highlighting that a real set of clubs won't
fit, pretty disapointing in an suvTig 125 TSI
