Bought a new VW Tiguan

[bd]

As long time Subaru owner (2001 Forester) - I wanted to buy a new Forester.
But recent models don't handle as well in regular (highway) driving - and I
have no use of increased ground clearance and increased size - so good bye
Subaru. My 2011 Tiguan 4-motion handles very well - I understand that it
could do worse in snow (than Forester) - but can live with it: I only drive
to ski areas several times per year.

congrats. hopefully some golf suspension bits would fit in case you
want to dispose
of some ground clearance that you consider excessive.
(I understand JDM STI fartster lowering springs fit US fartsters just
fine though
not sure if that improves the handling significantly)

Crosspost the cost of ownership comparos here as mileage accumulates,
it would be interesting to see how it compares to the outgoing
fartster

I actually bought a new Tiguan a year ago. Yes it shifts very smooth, so smooth I had to buy it. But being I still love my outback to I kept it also. Plus the outback 3.6 is my dog hauler. These are mine and my wife loves her Mercedes.
