Hi All,
Marden Mitch here,
Not seen many threads here relating to MPG...
I'm looking to get me a Tiguan R-Line in the next couple of months or so. I'm not in a major rush. My only form of deadline is to sell my Touareg before it reaches 100k miles. Currently at 91k miles.
I've test driven a 150 diesel R Line and couldnt fault it. Obviously it was slower on the immediate acceleration compared to the 221bhp 3.0 diesel T'reg.
My test drive was not long enough to decifer mpg stats or perform acceleration tests (dealer wouldn't button it with sales schpiel- I just wanted ten minutes of not him talking :roll: )
I've made my mind up about spec and colour - I just can't decide on the engine; 150 or 190 tdi. maybe you can help? - I will be selecting the DSG gearbox with Leather interior (which means electric drivers seat- but not electric passenger seat
)
So what I want to know is:
1. What mpg are you getting on your 150 tdi's
2. What mpg are you getting on your 190 tdi's
3. Is there a noticeable performance benifet of having the 190 over the 150? Has anyone driven both?
For what it's worth my three litre Touareg returns 27.0 mpg over 8000 miles (Long Term trip computer). A one hour trip to the airport will return 31 mpg. but around town its terrible. I'm aware any Tiguan Mk2 will be 40 at least so anything will be an improvement.
Look forward to hearing your tales
