Nice little car thatWhat's the power? I test drove a 2018 tiguan that was supposed to have 150bhp and it felt like one of the slowest cars I've driven in a long time, even foot to the floor was a total snore fest. My car has 320hp so I am spoiled but her current car is an old xtrail with 170bhp and that is way faster than the vw. Made me wonder if they've strangled the diesels to get them through emissions?
Well overall power it's only 136bhp, however as it's turbo diesel, the torque is quite decent. I've just looked at the comparison on zeperfs and it's clear why I didn't see much of a drop compared to driving my MPS on acceleration.
MPS - 260bhp, 380Nm torque @ 3k RPM
C30 - 135bhp, 340Nm torque @ 2k RPM.
The C30 is also a touch lighter.

Fab car. My gf had one for three years, the r-design lux version. Felt really solid and safe and some of the comfiest seats I have ever sat in.
I am tempted to start looking for the elusive T5 after a quick go in hers.
