Deftly: Did you try putting one in the middle?

Wow! I have two boys and if I was to put their seats right next to each other they would undoubtedly cause an accident!

Hey guys, I haven't tried a seat in the middle or an adult in between etc. I'll have a quick look this arvo and report back. You probably can notice I have the arm rest down between the two chairs so there is some room.

Same spec and colour as mine - looks great!

Yes, two uncomfortable adults would fit as long as both are not too rotund!

Two next to each other would not work too well at all. I tried to sit in between the two car seats and I had to move them to fit in. The centre one would be off kilter.

If I were to consider the Golf R wagon, I'd probably end up in either a Passat 206TSI R-Line, or the Skoda Superb 206 (which is arguably better than the Passat).

I'm looking at both for work, Superb more like as warranty 5 years unlimited km. Unless l can get a great deal for Passat RLINE with 2 years extended warranty

Interestingly I had a short list of 3 x cars to try, before settling on the Tiguan. I really fancied the Passat 206 and the local dealer had a gorgeous fully optioned Indium grey wagon, but to be honest I was a little underwhelmed by it. Perhaps it was because it was so new, just a couple of 000km on the clock, but you could have fooled me there was 206kw under the bonnet. That did include getting it in S mode and flooring it a couple of times. But the interior and overall look of the car was awesome, but was put to one side because of the underwhelming feel and the side bolsters of the front seats felt uncomfortable to me (wrong side of 100kg doesn't help).

The local Skoda dealer had no Superb 206, but was happy to let me try the 162. That demo had around 9k on the clock and they let me drive it alone. That was the most fun I have had on a demo drive in years and I was very impressed with the performance. It was more comfortable for me and performed better than the Passat 206 (could well be a feature of the engine loosening up), but I did feel it was just 1/2 step behind in the interior and a full step behind on looks and that also got it put to one side.

That's how I ended up ordering the 162 Tiguan with the Rline, with the same good looks as the Passat RLine, with hopefully similar performance to the 162 Superb.
