are the 2 to 3 three times thicker than the competition.<br />
VW further placed the seats 4 to 5 inches away from the<br />
‘B’ pillar thus increasing distance between you and the<br />
impact. The Tiguan also has the standard crumple zones<br />
and reinforced beams in the front, rear and sides.<br />
There are six airbags. In the front there are the driver<br />
and passenger airbags and then side impact airbags that<br />
run along the side of the entire vehicle.<br />
In the event of a front-end impact, the engine block will<br />
automatically dismount thus preventing it from being<br />
pushed back into the cockpit.<br />
When it comes to competition, Tim believes it would<br />
be the Toyota Rav4, Mazda Cx5 and Subaru Outback.<br />
However you are getting much more with the Tiguan<br />
base model than what you would get with the others.<br />
And he considers the Tiguan to be in a class itself because<br />
you’re getting the German engineering and experience<br />
for the low equivalent price of a RAV4 or a CX5.<br />
When asked about the X3 and how he would compare it<br />
to that, Tim notes that the X3 would be at a significantly<br />
higher price tag. VW is considered an entry level German<br />
luxury. So you are getting a lot of the feel, materials,<br />
build quality and the safety of German vehicles for a<br />
significantly lower price tag. Another factor is that VW<br />
does own Audi and subsequently a lot of the technology<br />
and quality trickles down to all VW’s.<br />
I have to agree with Tim. Anyone who has driven a<br />
German car would agree that the extra attention to detail<br />
makes a big difference in the drive experience.<br />
The Tiguan would be a perfect daily driver<br />
for anyone who wants the extra height,<br />
ground clearance and storage with all the<br />
fun features of a VW and without the bulk<br />
and gas consumption of a full size SUV.<br />
This is a fun, sporty feeling compact SUV<br />
that delivers on demand.<br />
