Tiguan TDI 150 2wd manual Match Edition

Hiya. We have one of these coming in a couple of weeks to replace the Qashcow. Not driven it which is a bit silly but I had to grab a lease deal quickly at just over £5k overall over 24 months, which seems good value and must be because of the imminent new Tiguan.
Are they any good as family transport ?

Boot isn't very big if that matters to you? I've had a few test drives seem competent. I nearly bought one about 5 years ago but the deals were poor at the time. There's a new shape Tig coming out soon.

Thx. Boot should be just about sufficient but indeed not massive considering the car's overall size. I reckon the current excellent affordability is down to the model's run out, which works for me as not fussed about having the latest model Particularly if the new one is to be £300+/month rather than just over £200 and despite the very high spec of the outgoing Match Edition.

They are nice cars and great value for money at the moment. Match Edition well specified and being a 2016 model year will come with the upgraded MIB II Infotainment system.

Compared to the current Qashqai it isn't quite up there dynamically, but is built to a higher standard with a plusher interior.

We had one for 6 months earlier this year. Typical VAG build quality but dull as dishwater to drive. Must be the most boring car ever to drive but other than it's just OK.
Great deal you got though.

Fair comments thx. Dynamic prowess ranks very low in our priorities for what remains an utilitarian vehicle that happens to be quite plush, well equipped, comfy and cheap. Even the old QQ that we have is surprisingly good dynamically for the height of its COG so even a downgrade will be acceptable. I would have preferred 17 but they clearly need to get rid of the 18s!
