    M17 Tiguan - Australian Reviews

    I've been eagerly awaiting reading some Australian reviews, and since the Tiguan was launched last week they should start being published now. This is the first one I've seen:

    I'll have a proper read tonight, but for R-Line buyers, the news is good

    Australian Reviews

    A couple more - the motoring.com one is gushing but says the opposite of car advice re the R-line pack. Opinions eh, every one has them.

    Can anyone explain this comment right at the end of the article:

    and the DSG reverted from manual to auto mode after you use them, like most other paddle systems

    I've only ever used paddles in my BMW and they worked great. Would drop down a gear when approaching a round about and then let it fall back to auto mode once I'd driven through. Having to manually perform an action to get back to auto mode concerns me?

    I take it as when the paddles are not used after a certain time, the DSG will revert back to auto mode

    If you use the paddles when the DSG is in Drive/Auto mode then after a short period of no longer using them (not sure exactly how long as I haven't timed it in mine) it will switch back to auto mode again. If you switch over the manual mode then the paddles will always remain active until you switch back to Drive/Auto again.

    New article comparing the Tiguan, CX-5, Koleos and Tucson.

    Medium SUV Comparison: Hyundai Tucson Highlander v Mazda CX-5 GT v Renault Koleos Intens v Volkswagen Tiguan 132TSI Comfortline

    The VW was the pick of the bunch by the writer

    Interstingly enough, despite complaints about audio quality/lack of DYNAUDIO, the writer found the Tiguan's soundsystem the best audio quality.

    Yeah but it came last by a long way with servicing costs which is disappointing

    Actually i thought the review was a bit lukewarm toward the Tiguan. Felt it barely headed a 5 year old Mazda. Expected a higher level of praise than it got.

    I think the model comparison wasn`t quite right either. The Koleos Intens and Hyundai Highlander are top spec. The 132 Comfortline is not .
