I found the review to be one of the most comprehensive around....so to discount the review because of one (debatable/oversight) point seems a bit overkill. |

It's alone in this segment in offering the option of a rewarding rear-wheel drive layout. Read more at http://www.expressandstar.com/motori...TpSYuS72GqM.99 |

Fair comparison between the Tiguan, Q3 and X1?

Reviews of these cars can be all over the map with so many global configurations. There are no pics of the interior in the article so we don't know which chairs were tested either. Nearly useless!!!!! |

I've tried to match the price shown to a spec and can't. It mentions leather seats...so xline? if so then its a great price as the MRP is £2000 more for the auto, price comes closer with a manual box. |

Although not X1-specific, I've been watching a fairly in-depth exploration of the iDrive system which covers the X1, X3 and X5 (and others). It's handy for me as my 2006 530d doesn't have this generation of iDrive, so it's my first exposure to it really (apart from the X1 test drive). I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the real thing in a couple of weeks time!

April's edition of What Car has a comparison of base models of the X1, CX5 and the new Tiguan. Fair points about the BMW (stingy on options, unrefined).
What instantly caught my attention though was how incredibly dull that base model Tiguan looked. I thought the R-Line looked like a chubby Golf. That would make the SE a morbidly obese Polo I guess. |

A couple of months ago when choosing and ordering I dismissed the new Tiguan as it didn't have a petrol engine in their early line-up, and none of the variants appear to offer memory seats. I think that's still the case. And as you say it's not really a looker like the X1

A recent one... Hopefully not a duplicate post
http://www.caradvice.com.au/494465/2...ive25i-review/ Edit : that's an amazing list of extras thrown in to the Australian 25i variant....! I had to order most of those as add ons to my UK order.😕 Last edited by TygerBright; 11-17-2016 at 02:45 AM.. |

For the review itself - I love how the reviewer spends the whole video saying how boring the BMW is and at the end says "To be completely honest, I didn't even drive the car" Professional car journalism at it's best. |
