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,

    Well I wouldn't exactly call it a review but if you don't mind having a laugh at the expense of a bit of destruction then it's worth watching
    Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

      Well the consumer advice is that the Tig is better at towing a caravan around the Top Gear circuit than CX-5 and it's quite capable in the mud.

      ...and that besides what Jeremy says he and James May seemed to having quite a bit of fun driving some little SUV's.

        Probably one of the best episodes in recent years.
        He should have got the petrol and chipped it so it had more power and torque

          I'm actually surprised he didn't have the Skoda Yeti in that mix, given that a few series ago he said it was the best car you could buy.

              I'm not sure the Top Gear "review" is going to provide you too much useful information to base your buying decision on.

              However both cars did remarkably well when compared to the caravans.

                The Yeti is just a Tiguan with a different body and interior.

                    I cringed when they tried the auto brake in the CX-5 ON the Tigaun
