Sharkie's Dilemma

[Pullstarter]

Apologies if that's a bit harsh but these guys are way out of order and full of a foul smelling substance.

I am sorry that I don't like the design of the Tig, it is MY opinion. Unless you had an involvement in the design of the car I don't see why you are getting your knickers in a knot.

Because I own it and love it and so do the rest of the guys in this Tiguan Forum. How well received would someone be if they came into the Golf forum and told everyone they drive an ugly car? You really aren't very smart are you?

I was by no means trying to "be out of order", Sharkies Dilema was asking peoples opinions and I shared my opinion (just because it doesnt match your's does not mean I am wrong).

A simple agree to disagree would have surficed with out trying imply things, being a forum I am entitled my opinion (which was asked), I have owned several cars (non VW, my GTI was my first and possibly my last VW) and driven many as well. I am by no means a track warrior or a car guru, but it does not take either to establish that a Tig is not a good starting base for a performance car, if you can prove me wrong I will aplaude you and tell my boss to modify his Holden Captiva.

Again for the iliterate, a GTI is not a ground up race car, it is a modified hatchback which is FWD, this is not a good basis for a sports car either, ask any racer.

Just about any car can be made fast, and to handle given time and money, you're just showing your ignorance and prejudice.

And that's the last comment I'll make, you can't educate the ignorant.

You are entitled to love it, want to marry it, even kiss it. I don't give a **** if someone told me I drive an ugly car, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some people think that the AMC Pacer is a nice looking car, personally I hate it. Do you like the AMC Pacer Pullstarter?

Look guys, we are getting off topic, this isn't fair to Sharkie's thread.

I personally think the Tiguan is an ugly car, except for the MILF's getting out of them. I wouldn't be spending the $12k+ on this car, i'd probably sell this off and buy a performance car, ready from the factory. Tig's are still damn popular and I'm sure you would have no problems selling it.

EDIT: A quick Google search shows this guy seems to agree with me too: http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5...10216at103.png

I disagree physics say some cars cannot be made fast (for a reasonable amount of money), spending 20K on a 40K Soft Roader to get it on par with a standard hot hatch around a race track is amusing. You are already disadvantaged, much the same with the GTI it will cost alot more to get quick times out of at a track than an STI or Evo (much less than with the Tig).

I dont think the GTI is the best car in the world (or that the Tig is the worst), but cars are designed with a specific purpose and the GTI was designed with one much closer to being sporty. Its great you love your car, its ticked all the boxes for you, but dont attack someone who puts their requested opinion (as a forum member) up just because you dont agree with it (Sharkies question was only posed to Tig drivers, he should have specified that), the reality is if Sharkie wants to go to the track it is a no brainer he buys a Porsche or something more sporting orientated, as he will soon find out after pooring thousands into a loosing duck that he would have been better off following another path, take your rose coloured glasses off, look at the question posed and ask your self what would you take to the track if you were in his position a Porsche or a Tig.

You are quite reasonable, and I appreciate your temprament. Just a few things, and I use your quotes to frame my argument (sorry)...

(Sharkies question was only posed to Tig drivers, he should have specified that)

It was posted in the Tig section of the forum.

Look guys, we are getting off topic, this isn't fair to Sharkie's thread.

Isn't fair to Sharkie's thread? How old are you DeanCorp? I could be your dad. Seriously, do not cram an apology into an insult. Sorry.

I'd buy a car that's designed and built to be driven over a car that's designed and built to get the family from point A to point B. Throwing 12k at a Tiguan is like polishing a turd. Sure it's all nice and shiny but it's still a turd.

I am going to get flamed here, but oh well. I wouldn't waste that sort of money on mods on a Tig. When I see them I just laugh, they remind me of a Golf that has driven into a mushroom in Super Mario Bros and has grown bigger.

but dont attack someone who puts their requested opinion (as a forum member)

People shouldn't have attacked Tiguan drivers first. While every person is entitled to an opinion, it is not polite to dig in to people because they see the world differently.

If someone wants to say 'buy a GTI' then say 'buy a GTI'. Not 'buy a GTI and everyone else that doesn't drive a GTI is deformed and I want to f*ck their wife'.

And seriously, if someone brings my wife into the argument, you have to answer to her first. She drives a Forester with an ECB bullbar. She doesn't give a f*ck about the paint. The GTI might be quicker. Until it is parked outside the supermarket...

Captain Bungers, it's under control, infractions were issued to all offenders. I wish that discussion could go on without the insults. I will not delete any post from here since there are a lot of valid points on both sides. But no insults will be tolerated.
