Tiguan is Hot
Al of you who want to travel buy don’t want to spend a lot of money, listen up! Gas prices fell over the weekend. I paid $2.93 per gallon to fill my tank on Saturday. (I never thought I would ever say that paying almost $3.00 for a gallon of gas would be a good thing. LOL)
The news here in Indiana is all a buzz about the new Volkswagen being rolled off the production line. From AOL.autos, I gathered the following information.
Volkswagen says the Tiguan (the name comes from a combination of tiger and iguana) is based on the same chassis elements already used on the Rabbit, Jetta and Passat. That means front strut suspension, four-link rear suspension, aluminum subframes, electric power steering and the full complement of safety gear: ABS brakes with Brake Assist, electronic stability control, traction control, tire pressure monitoring and six air bags.
Inside, standard equipment includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, four 12-volt power points, an AUX jack for music players, and an electronic parking brake. VW pointed out that all of its 2009 models, including the new Tiguan, will have ESP (Electronic Stability Program) standard, a first in the non-luxury category, and three years ahead of the federal mandate.
I think it is a classy looking car.
That is a classy looking car, volkswagen have always been hot on their engineering and build quality. The price of fuel is plummeting here in the UK too and offering us some relief from the credit crunch!
