Volkswagen Tiguan test drive since 2008 SUV

Service-Roman

The Wikipedists set up the initiation of this car in several screens at the stage of its design. Vort of virtual technologies allow you to ride it to carry out any quirks of the most impatient drivers eight months before its material embodiment. But everyone was surpassed by domestic motorists, who, without waiting for the start of sales in Russia, united into the club of future owners and admirers of the Loader car. There are no surprising in this haste of feelings and actions. It used to be folk love and glory after death. Today, in the age of a hard market and marketing technologies, folk love is created in advance.
In general, everything indicates that the Volkswagen concern did not wait for mercy from customers, but simply made them love their new VW Tiguan car, the younger brother of Touareg, the compact apparatus of the SUV class. I even suspected that Volkswagen was washed to his employees to begin with his brain. For example, I have a friend who serves a car mechanic on the VW service. So he praises the car so slobbering as if he was driving on her eternity, although he has an idea of \u200b\u200bher only from my words and video on the Internet. However, he also has a ready -made service for servicing Tiguan owners (which, note not yet). The service, of course, is unofficial, you can say self-packing, with a stalk for internal use and the qualifications for a narrow circle of limited people, cooked from some Odessa-Brighton site, but skillfully adapted and even creatively enriched. Most of this instruction, of course, is universal: instead of Tiguan, there may be BMW, Sukhoi-35, and the Aircraft carrier Enterprise. But some points of this opus give out the diligence of the authors who have not lazy to study the affordable periodicals and branded booklets. The instruction is compiled on the basis of vulgar dialectics: for each dull P, the problem, is offered mockingly dull P, a solution. Here is a little endurance for you:
P. Right rear wheel almost needs to be replaced
R. Right rear wheel is almost replaced
P. does not function ESP
R. ESP always does not function in ESP OFF mode
P. The nasty sound comes from under the toolbar, as if some dwarf hits a hammer along the panel
R. pick up a hammer from a dwarf
 
I would love to reprint all this auto -mechanical humor without bills, but, I'm afraid, without some comments, he it will remain understood only a narrow circle of limited people. Here, for example, such a tricky P: the front bumper periodically clings to the border stone in the parking lot, although the height of the curb stone remains unchanged. The solution to this problem is proposed to be simple, but mysterious change Fun (Style) to Field. The explanation of this abracadabra should, however, be sought in the machine itself, which is available in three versions: two asphalt Trend & Fun and Sport & Style with an entry angle of 18 degrees and an off -road Track & Field, in which the bumper is mowed at an angle of 28 degrees. That is, our Petrosyans, it turns out, hold a client for a rich idiot who bought several Tiguans and who constantly confuses them, and therefore periodically clings to his fan to the unfortunate border. Here, however, it is worth noting that the clearance for all cars is the same 195 mm. Meanwhile, in the variability and multi -purpose character of Tiguan, the main highlight of the model, highlighting it among competitors. It is only a pity that Tiguan has not yet evolved Duos with two SIM cards and does not unite in one corps, Pigzon, sports-stylistic 17-inch Los Angeles discs and a track, Trendovsky chromium on a radiator grille and the Off-Road field button. The latter, by the way, is a standard little thing for Track & Field and substantial assistance to the driver on off -road. In this one button, the whole strength, brother, Tiguan, like SUV: with its pressing, the help system when descending from the hill, and the system for lifting into the hill, and the program of electronic blocking of differentials and ABS, and the function of changing the torque moment. Buy a special package for harsh winter operation: a powerful battery plus heating of mirrors, glass miners, etc., and on Tiguan you can rush not only in black tropes, but also Belotropam.
Of course, the Tuareg should not arise about the collective farm inclinations of the younger brother, let his designers assure that he looks great with a trailer that can be loaded to a maximum of up to 2500 kg and which is held on the road using ESP. Still, Tiguan, even in extremely brutal design, is a typical city little thing. Comfortable, in accordance with VW about comfort, that is, with multiple pockets, cup holders, folding plastic tables, half -dozen glasses on the ceiling. A progressive, that is, having a decent and multi-format audio-video entertaining, a touch screen, an electromechanical handbrake and a panoramic roof with a hatch. Moderate the frisky, despite the fact that all Tiguan are equipped only with a boost engines, and the gasoline motors belong to the TSI family, they are equipped with a turbocharger and a turbocharger, and compressor. The agility of the car was reflected in one of the problem points: a large number of dead beetles on the windshield. This problem does not even have solutions even in the instructions. The client is stupidly proposed to wait for the new spring import of living beetles.
The fact that Tiguan is a resident of megacities confirms the next excerpt from the aforementioned service. It concerns the Park Assist system. Trying on Touran, this system in the city is simply invaluable: it does not just show the driver of obstacles and the optimal trajectory, projecting a picture on a salon display using a rear view camera, but she finds a place between cars, and turns the steering wheel itself. The driver can only follow the commands of the electronic assistant, pressing the gas and the brake and observing the speed mode of 10-30 km/h when searching for a place and 7 km/h in parking. The driver can present only one trouble. The compilers of customer communication benefits warn about it. P: The Park Assist system does not work. R: Park Assist system does not operate in the center of Moscow, because in the center of Moscow there are no free parking places.

From the service of the owners of Tiguan.
P: The sound of the Dynaudio audio system is unrealistically loud.
R: Install the sound of the Dynaudio audio system to a real volume level.
P: There were doubts of the relativity of the number of degrees in the cut of the front bumper.
R: lower the degree of your doubts.
P: There are no seats of the second row.
P: The seats of the second row are composed to increase the volume of the luggage compartment.
P: The rear view camera shows a bad picture.
P: The rear view camera works correctly. Poor quality the picture in the back.
