How much did you pay for your Tiguan?

[Dutch77]

That's good dealing, that whole incentive is designed to drive the sales count before year end.

You'll likely get very few recommendations for the Mazda on a VW forum!

It’s a tough choice. I don’t fanboy for any brands, but these two choices are both at the top end of normal mid-size suv’s, for meeting their intended purpose.

It’ll likely come down to your preference in style and the 1 or 2 things each brand do different for a given model.

Either choice is correct

^ well said.

I picked a CX5 over a Gen 1 Tiguan back in 2013 as it did the things *we* needed at the time better than the Tiguan did. Whether I'd still make the same decision over a Gen 2 Tiguan today would again come down to what the needs were at the time.

If I was buying it as my car and not the family car (which ain't happening lol) then I probably would go the Tiguan now because I'd go the full blown mod route.

The only pro with the CX5 is the exterior looks is more slicker, other than that it has too many cons (no panoroof is a show stopper, not very high tech & rear leg room is tight)

The Tiggy trumps in all other department

In your opinion.

I have absolutely no desire to ever have a panoramic roof, couldn't think of anything I would want less.. so for me that is a massive tick.

But that's my point, every buyers list is different. I'm not fanboy enough perhaps.

Haha yeah. In my Opinion

Funny story. I asked the Mazda salesperson why Mazda don’t do panoroofs. His response was “it’s a safety issue because the large glass might compromise the integrity of the roof and might collapse on the occupants if the car flipped over”.

My response was “then why are you guys selling the Mazda MX5 (since it has a soft roof and offers no protection at all and worse than a glass roof)”......He didn’t reply

Check your budget and VW finance offer and you may be able to stretch to a 162 Highline (for the same repayments)... Plus a 5 year warranty on VW's until 31 December could be enough to swing it.
