My God, Tiguan is really good at handling but let's not forget, I think the version in Top Gear is R line, having bigger wheel. The CX5 is just the normal stock. Having said that, I still think CX5 will outshine the Tiguan from a reliability point of view. I am always curious, why a German company, aside from DSG fiasco, can produce/make a car that is so bad in reliability and durability? My friend in Germany told me that even for a brake on Golf class, VW has 20 qualified supplier??!! Not sure if that points to an answer to my question?
