Overall Pros and Cons

[Gladbach]

I've added the last few points made. Keep them coming!

add to that list 3 year warranty while other manufacturers are offering 5, 7 and even 8 with the Peugeots

yes but you are buying a Peugeot. I'd take the three years.

Surprisingly the Peugeot 4008 is Japanese built and shares the same interior and engine as the Mitsubishi ASX.

Yes I'll take the 3 years as well!

Must add 1 more con.

The space saver tyre. They are really s%%%%. All SUVs should have a full size spare.

Some of these pros and cons are really a matter of perspective......to take a couple from my perspective

space saver tyre - my car will never see dirt she will always be a city Tig so space saver is not a con to me
towing- my Tig will never tow anything. If you need to move stuff god invented trucks and man created Hertz/Avis etc. Towing capability is not a con for me but I have the pro of keeping the nice rear valance/diffuser intact

Not sure that the long delivery times are a con so far as the car goes either. Annoying perhaps, but secretly I think many of us get some twisted pleasure from the wait and the speculation, research, tracking, what's my build date, which boat is it on, did I get the right options/colour, will it go/sound the way I want it to that has filled pages and pages of posts on this forum. The long lead times and the consequent time spent here may have actually kept a few of us out of mischief elsewhere.

Mac135. I agree with you re delay in receiving the car.

I will not be towing but I believe VW's advertising is misleading because it tells us the Tiguan can tow up to 2.5 ton but then puts a 100 kg limit on the tow ball and does not allow a weight distributing hitch installed. Dead weight on the ball will give you 1 ton not 2.5 ton. That is misleading advertising and the ACCC could go them for it.

The Pros and Cons won't necessary apply to everyone. I'm not even installing a tow bar on mine, but obviously the tow ball limit is a limitation. I'm keeping the list as objective as possible, and pointing out where things may be subjective (for example, visual appeal).

I've added the space saver as a con, but for some it might be a positive so I've pointed that out.

I should also note that what makes the list are only pros/cons that have been discussed by a number of people, and whether it is a pro or a con is based on the majority opinion.

So balance the load so the vertical weight does not exceed 100kg. Truck drivers do it all the time to prevent the front axle load exceeding the specified allowed load being exceeded.
