    Unhappy Sad to see my GTI go

    I currently own a '07 GTI. Sadly it has become a little small for me so I just upgraded to a new Tiguan.
    I was seriously thinking about upgrading to the new GTI since it now offers DSG and a much more frugal 1.4TSI twincharged engine.
    I love the new interior too. It also now comes with Sat Nav and climate control. What a car this is going to be.
    I hope I will have as much fun in the new Tiguan.

    APR also has a stage 3 tubo kit for the tiguan which bumps the power levels up to 370HP

    From what i have heard, the tig is a very enjoyable vehicle with great functionality.

    I upgraded from a 06 GTI to a new Tiguan ..... 2.0T (with all its potential) and AWD. It solves all the issues I had with the GTI for me.

    Big Plus .... in a manual its only about $7K more than a Polo GTI and with 200+kw will have any similarly powered Golf or Polo GTI for breakfast off the line .....

    Its like a WRX but with class & style ......

    We have several customers who do "long range dirt road touring" but don't know anyone who has given one a serious workout "off road" yet!

    If they can get a 996 Porsche 911 C4 to Cape York(Wheels Magazine, they only raised it up about 20mm, and the rest was stock), I don't thing a Tig with have too many dramas!!

    No, meant WRX ...... 2.0T and AWD .... (even the handling of a Tiguan is good, though obviously not quite as good)
