    Must be new Haldex testing time Most people who tried a Tiguan off-road compliment its capability off-road and only limited by ground clearance and tires.

    mmmm.. Let me think.. Golf R Mk7 ... or a Touareg V10 ? For me I will get out of this 4 pot platform for sure

    Yes I certainly agree that the Tiguan handles the dirt pretty well. On a graded dirt road it will sit flat and cruise at 100km/hr without any floaty feeling. Though I certainly wouldn't have attempted those speeds on the road I travelled yesterday.

    It had been raining for 1/2 a day and road conditions were pretty slippery in places.

    I would love both, but unfortunately I don't think either is going to happen.

    Golf is just too small. I really need to be going larger than the Tig for the next car. Family is growing and space in the back is a premium.

    Touareg is on my list too but unless I have a large windfall in the next 6-12months that's going to get crossed off the list too. And if I was going a Touareg it would be the base model and not the V10 R-line!!!

    I was looking at the Octavia RS but I'm now having second thoughts due to the FWD. It was a concern before but now it's almost going to discount it from the list. Otherwise I think it would certainly limit the roads/conditions that I would tackle.
