Post by: john_o on October 17, 2011, 01:33:34 pm
keeping my eye out for a Ford Kuga / Tiguan R Line at the moment, and came across this car which looked really good spec in the text and on the outside....

Hopefully there are seat cover but if so why haven't the been binned for the for sale advert.  :sick:

Either that or the steering wheel and seats are badly warn but the mileage is not high enough to show signs of wear.

Some people should be restricted to 10 year old Fiestas.

We have one in at my place that is quite nice. http://www.jct600.co.uk/cars/priceright/car-details/volkswagen-tiguan-rawdon-fd59duh-17436795

Bit of leather feed, it'll be as good as new  :signLOL:

In all honesty that is nasty, they do look like covers thoug.

Of course they are covers hahahaha

Looks pretty nice on the outside! I'm not sure I've seen one of these before! Are they a soft roader?

I just don't get the shape of the wheel arch. Why are they square, and not round? Kind of ruins a more or less good looking car for me.

Also, how much would that have been new for it to have 23,000 miles on it and still cost £25k?

Yep, we own one (an 140TDI Auto), and it's by far the best all round car I have owned.

Had to do an emergency trip to Italy last week (covering 1k miles in 13 hours) and I couldn't fault the car in anyway  :happy2:

^^^ True  :signLOL:

Even down the Gotthard pass (as the Tunnel was closed) the Tiguan surprised me: -

8000ft up and then back down on that did show the 312mm standard VAG fitment brakes aren't up to much on a big heavy car  :scared:
