Tiguan over the BRZ

[ido09s]

-we i am cornering, liberty gave me much more confidence, tiguan is no confidence.
-thought tiguan was small SUV, drove to stocken beach. and got bogged, and my fd has a subaru XV, it was all fine.

so, if you considered BRZ, that means you kind of like sport, manual and cornering. and i can tell you subaru is much more fun(no doubt, tiguan has more electronic and feel sight superior, cos it is euro car)

I must say you would have to be a pretty hard person to please if you feel the Tiguan gives you no confidence as i personally think its an exceptional car given what it is. I also think your comparison of the Liberty v the Tiguan is little apples and oranges given the GT is the performance version of the Liberty and the Tiguan is an 'SUV' which is not aimed at performance at all

Do you know what SUV stands for? Its sports utility vehicle, which the Tiguan is not. SUV seems to be the acronym thrown at anything that remotely resembles a small 4WD type car. Clearly someone also gave you the wrong idea when you looked at purchasing the Tiguan for offroad duties. Anyone who thought for one second that this vehicle was built to take offroad is sadly very wrong. Just because the car is marketed as an AWD does not magically make it a 4WD. Its used for safety and i can tell you now, even though its only a small percentage rwd it works exceptionally well for a car in its price range.

As for the DSG, everything above is echoed by me. Sport is great if you need to turn right and there is traffic coming as it holeds the gears very well. Useless for anything else but drag racing as it holds the gears too long and doesnt change into the higher gears in any decent time frame.

D mode, changes ridiculously quickly and makes it quite hard to drive at times as you need to use at least 50% throttle to get it to kick down. Once it does kick down it shifts down 3 gears and takes off like crazy.

Manual mode would be so much better if it had paddles but works well anyway. It does what you want when you want so it actually makes the car nice to drive, i just wish it had paddles

Shifts are precise and smooth. I have n problems with the actual changes at all, i think it works perfectly.

Changing from drive to reverse, what are you trying to do, run an F1 race with it lol It takes what it takes as it a manual box after all. Most manual boxes take a few seconds to engage so this will be no different
