One of the reasons I was attracted to the Tiguan was that fact that I see it as a 4WD car for light users and, in my case, anything more serious was overkill.
Does anyone with 4Motion leave their car in 4WD mode all the time? TBH since speccing it, I haven't actually turned it on as FWD has been good enough in my part of the country which has been cold but dry. Even during rain on the way back from North Yorkshire, I didn't really feel the need to flip it to snow or off road mode.
As an aside, I'm also interested to know how it performs in a muddy rutted field. My previous car has permanent mechanical 4WD and getting in and out of places such as rutted festival car parks was a breeze when others were having to wait to be towed out by tractors. I've seen the review videos of course but they're not really a real world representation of how they might be used.
