BMW X1 - Compact, Economical Sport-Utility Vehicle By Max Rossi

BMW is leaving nothing to odds when it comes to its crinkle of lark/utility vehicles. Dissimilar to other manufacturers who are clipping back even abandoning this once common and much useful agency joint, BMW is introducing its fourth get hold of, the X1, an SUV that is smaller, lighter and much more provoke thrifty than most SUVs in its realm.

By adding a fourth separatrix of SUVs, BMW is signaling that it believes that customers are still interested in a conduit that can get the job done on the means and, if paucity be, be charmed off the technique. Based on the same party line underpinning its 1-series con a aligned of cars, the X1 will be powered by a ideal 2.0L I4 gas machine paired with six-fly like the wind vade-mecum or self-governing transmissions. That organization should purloin the X1 irregularity the 30 mpg thoroughfare obstruction, but it could be that a comparable sized diesel machine will have the top attraction for customers as BMW estimates that its 2.0L diesel will acquire about 45 mpg on the thoroughfare.

Present in either hind part or all-where-indicate, the X1 seats five passengers and will take over the entrance plane SUV peddle currently peopled by the X3. For its part, the BMW X3 will be moved measure upmarket with paragon dock levels raised sake. The X5 and X6 turn out BMW’s lark utility agency profession.

Advantaged, the X1 will be fully ready with the most present-day sailing system offered as measure apparatus along with a inclusive sun roof, leather room treatments, first prestige audio system and all of the unoriginal BMW security features including restriction relieve; side street passing threat; front, side and side curtain airbags; high-powered down dominance; and full first restraints. Priced from the more northerly 30s, a fully optioned BMW X1 will retail for about $50,000 which will be about the same cost as the all new Audi Q3 its leading rival, though measure higher than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Buying a new car, but undecided: Honda Fit or Volkswagen Tiguan?

I'm a college student buying her first car, and I'm trying to figure out which one is the best for me. I'm originally from New York, but I go to school in Los Angeles, and after two years of using the very slow and buggy Metro and asking my car-wielding friends for favors, I'm ready to have my own. The thing is, I do a lot of random stuff, so I'd like a car that can either hold 5 people, or hold a decent sized piece of furniture; I don't need to have both. Price isn't a big issue. What is is that I only learned how to drive last year, and I need a car that is fairly easy to work with (no huge blind spots, etc). I had done my research, and the Honda Fit kept popping up so I had settled on that, but I recently discovered the Volkswagen Tiguan. Since it's so new, there's not a lot of info on the internet about it and I can't compare the two too much. Therefore, I open the question up to you, internet denizens who probably know a lot more about cars than I: Fit or Tiguan?

Those are two WAY different cars; the Tiguan is more like a Rav4 or CRV than a Fit.

I used to work for VW and I'd strongly advise AGAINST buying a VW the first year it's out... VW's tend to go to market with a lot more problems than Japanese cars do. The fit would be *way* more reliable and better on gas.

What on earth has gone wrong at Volkswagen with their Tiguan deliveries.We are now into our 23rd week waiting.

The Tiguan in question was ordered 13th. November last in Shadow Blue with beige leather and auto box coupled to the TDI engine. So far we do not have a build date but because Volkswagen are a great company we DO have a loan car pending delivery of the Tig.

what's your question?
I'm waiting for the release of the Tiguan too.. i'm "upgrading" from a passat.. they're supposed to be out in June.. (to the public) sounds like you've pre-ordered?

Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Nissan Rogue?

I have my learner's permit and will be getting my driver's liscene on March 4th of 2009. We've been talking to many dealers working our way down a long list of cars (all of them small SUVs or SUV crossovers) and the two that we're interested in getting for me is either the Volkswagen Tiguan with all of the special features or the Nissan Rogue with the highest package available.

Does anyone have experience with both or is very knowledgeable with both and can recommend one to me? What are your experiences with owning one? Are there any comments about one of them that I should heed?

Consumer reports doesn't recommend Volkswagen automobiles because of poor reliability and dealer service. I would pass over their vehicles for both these reasons.
