Hi all,

Just wanted to submit my first post and let you all know that, having made the worst mistake of purchasing a CX-5 GT 2.5L Petrol recently (moving from a MkV Golf GTI stage 1 APR that I had owned for seven years) due to a chronic back condition, I have now convinced my better half to take the Mazda off my hands and am looking at what VW/Audi SUV I can purchase that will bring me back to Germany!

I would love the Touareg but I really don't think I can afford it, nor do I really need a car that big (just need something high so I can get in and out of it more easily) so was thinking either the Tiguan R Line or Audi Q3. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts or suggestions...I stupidly didn't test drive the Tiguan during my research phase as I wasn't thrilled with the design but I now realise that you can't compromise on driving experience once you've driven a car as good as the GTI. Boy, do I feel stupid!

Anyway, I'm going to read a lot of the threads here and get acquianted with the site but, as I said, would love to hear anyone's thoughts on my dilemma. Am open to any idea!

Welcome to the forum!

We have 2 Tiguans in family and are very happy with both. Yes, they drive and handle well.

I honestly think the CX5 is way better looking than the Tiguan,and im sure long term quality and reliability will also be superior...
