Should I buy the new Tiguan? Tiguan vs X1 vs Peugeot

As much as I hate to say it tje CVT technology is superior to DCT/DSG. Ignore what manufacturers actually provide in their CVT vehicles, and a CVT will always be able to provide the max power from the engine at all speeds which you are travelling. With a gear, then the available power must change as your speed changes, which is why you have to change gears. The problem is that people are so used to the operation of manual and automatic gearboxes. A CVT which always provides max power 'doesn't sound right'. So the the manufacturer provides fixed fixed positions in the CVT to make it appear like a normal gearbox. If manufacturers let a CVT be a CVT rather than pretend to be a normal gearbox.

If the pug has a 'pretend' gearbox then I agree.

The theory of a CVT is great - but in reality they are horrible to drive. Had an A4 - put up with it for 6 months and could take no more. Tested Subaru, Pug, Citroen, Mitzi CVT's all horrible, went back to a GTI and then, recently a Tig. Simply no comparison.
