Im loving this new segment.... looking forward to more cars
Fantastic!
Driving the 2 L TDI 4 motion for 4 years. Now on 155000km. No issues at all.
Now this is lovely considering most people in our country are opting for 2nd hand and/or downgrading vehicles. I would like to see you guys do a lot more videos like this if it is possible preferably in the future also a comparison within the same brand. Like a BMW F20 118i and maybe a F30 318i since they share an engine but sometimes tend to have different motor issues. Also, it would be nice if maybe you could have a different playlist for 2nd hand market vehicles (an all you need to know information) since you are South Africa's number 1 website for used vehicles, wink-wink😉.
I like this segment of providing problems with the current cars
We need more content like this…easy to follow and very informative 👌🏾
This is the most information packed video i have ever watched from this channel. The video we never wanted but needed.
Awesome segment Ciro
Thumbs up
Looking forward to more uploads
This is an excellent option for the channel. Well done. Loving it.
My 2015 Polo TSI had all those issues combined within 3 years of purchasing it new, immediately after the warranty expired... Water pump leakage, flywheel failure, gearbox failure. I traded it in immediately after changing the gearbox.
I always tell as many people as I can that if they want to buy a VW, they should avoid the DSG gearbox at all costs. Either pick or manual or go for another brand.
Luckily they will soon be making only electric cars, which means those new cars won't need a transmission anymore. Europe has given all car companies up until 2030 to phase out diesels and petrols. From 2030, diesel and petrol will be illegal.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Thanks for the Tip busy shopping so appreciate. My concern with electric cars is that (a) ZA and our electricity issues (b) will the price of fueling up with electricity be les than that of petrol/diesel (c) Those Lithium Fe batteries are scary -watched enough EV videos on China made EC to say Nope.
@joshuanun4933 hard luck mate my 2015 Polo is still running as good as new at 245km on the clock only change a battery and water pump in 2022
Would love to see more of these segment pieces. Really informative and usefull when looking at used cars💪
Wow I'm so happy with such informative segment. Well done guys well done 🎉
Love this..very few of us are able to afford new cars and rely on the used market for value
I am glad to see your new Data Analyst is putting in some. Fantastic new segment. It would be cool to do a Second Hand vehicle review videos as well.
Ciro, u did not mention the most important fact,I.E. the running costs (service & repairs)for any German car, they are high& because most European cars are designed, build on planned obsolescence parts failure will be high & expensive, so to Tiguan too. Beautiful indeed
I had a 2014 BMW X1. It was dirt cheap to run, minor service R1400, major R3500. Extremely light on diesel. Brakes were cheap to replace, front shocks were R2000. Drove it up to 160000km with no issues at all. If you look after them, they look after you. I honestly don't believe in the planned obsolescence thing. Parts have a lifetime, nothing can last forever.
This is a dope segment.
Please do X3 (G01) next...
This video is like having your big brother guide you when buying a car
That's great to hear :)
This was very comprehensive and entertaining ❤
Very helpful and thank you for speaking fast (superb speech pace)
This is the best segment on the channel and exactly what used car buyers need! Thank you. Please make a guide for the used 2nd gen Toyota fortuner and its common problems. Details, details, details. Thanks again.
Splendid video. I own a 2018 Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4 motion and the mechatronic box was replaced at around 75k km. I researched this issue and found several other people in SA and around the world who encountered the same issue. I'm wondering why you didn't mention anything about it.
Make more videos please. This is extremely informative. I owned audi A5 2010 and A4 2011. That A5 was an oil gobbler. I experienced problems after problems as soon as those cars hit 90000. It was like they waited for warranty to end
I love this style of review
Thanks for this, this is very useful
I love this type of videos
Great video, just what I'm looking for
Thanks for educating us.. 👌👌👏👏
This segment was amazing, now I have to pick between a Tiguan and a polo gti
Great video. Please do one on the previous generation BMW X1!
This was great Thank you.
For me I would pick the CX5, I know the driving,feel and tech is better in the Tiguan but reliability with VW lately ....
Could you please make a similar video for the VW Polo 6R/6C models 2011-2018 models and for the 7th gen Golf. Very insightful review👌
Would love to see a comparison with the Tiguan 4 motion and the Subaru Forester. Surprised that the forester didn't make it into your comparison with other potential buys here?
I'm also surprised, I was expecting the forester to be used
This was a lesson I enjoyed ever. I suppose is the first, others are on the way
Sooo cool, thx Cirro!!😊
Please do the Polo 1.0tsi buyer's guide too
Peugeot 3008 FTW - it has won more international car awards than any other car in history , Bought a used 2019 1.6 Allure for my wife as afamiloy car after her 2 consecutive BMW X3`s. 2 years later and we are all still thrilled with it - and our closest friends sold their Wildtrack to buy a brand new one a year ago - and they have never looked back...
Jes nai se quis ...
Please do a buyers guide for the 2019 - Current Toyota Rav4
Would love to see a video on how to become a car blogger, review cars, etc. I'm very interested in doing that as my hobby
Excellent video - informative and helpful! Love the format, hope to see more like this. Not the car though, unless your idea of adrenaline is getting hijacked or stranded - stay away from VW.
Maybe a red Opel? 😬
@@powertechnical much safer, nobody wants then. Hijackers hate them 🤟
Great program
. German engineering of the tiguan is great
Can you swop out the 255/40R20 tyres in the RLine for the higher profile 19" tyres?
Kuga got a shout out 👌🏾 the st is still a beast of a car
You incorrectly showed the polo mk5 GTI facelift which has the same EA888.3 engine in the 2.0l Tiguan instead of the pre-facelift polo GTI with the troublesome EA211 1.4tsi engine
I have a 2019 Allspace Comfort line R 132kw. A superb all-round vehicle. Beware of high fuel consumption 12l/100km in the city. Also it eats brake pads for breakfast and they are expensive to replace. I also had two waterpumps replaced for leaking. Otherwise it has been very reliable and I can't think of a better vehicle for a family at the price. The R suspension is perfectly comfortable over most roads, so go for the much better looks in my opinion.
I'm looking at getting exactly this. How much did the water pumps set you back? And how much is a brake replacement? Did you do it at VW themselves?
What is the highest mileage can one ideally go for in the second hand market.
My friends' 2.0 TDI Tiguan has had water pump issues an replaced last year. Right now as i type this, the gearbox has failed and apparently a computer box is also screwed... all under 100ķ km on the clock 🤦🏿♂️
More videos like this!
I have a R and love it
Ford Puma review please... why are we looking at old cars?
Wanting to get a 2017 Tiguan 2.0 TDi. Should I go for it?
would love one, but damn I'm scared of anything with a VW badge older than 3 years and nowhere near 100K kms
Please do the Ford Ranger
Do you have a Raptor in market because I don't see it in your App
Hi there, you'll need to use our keyword search to find the Raptor. Let us know if you win
do the 8v S3 Audi 2014 to 2016
You read my mind! I was actually looking at buying of these! I currently have a Venue. What do you say? Yes, or no?
Probably too much to ask, but could you tell me if the Audi SQ5 3.0 TDI (1st gen) is a good buy instead?
Engine on that is reliable...but its still an Audi...so things are expensive and you cant just take it anywhere for certain repairs.
@@ozzi4627 Thank you for your advice! So would you say it's something I should go for?
If you want something reliable and safe, get the Mazda CX5.
@@mso8190 Okay, okay. . . because of all the variations, any specific year and engine model? BTW, thank you for the suggestion.
@tygandaproductions We have a 2.0 Dynamic. It drives better than the 1.4 Tiguan, with the exception that the engine lacks torque. If that matters to you, then I suggest getting the Diesel Akera CX5. Get something from 2021 and later.
Yeey - I think I asked for this!!!!
Please do ford ranger buyer's guide next
Tiguan is a very good all rounder. Probably the most practical and pocket friendly German luxury compact SUV. Not a off roader...so don't make a habit of taking it on 4x4 trails.
Did a test drive in one of these and could not get over the poor interior quality
I had a 2018 Allspace - comfort line ( 132kw)
I started having problems around 60 000Km with the engine going on limp mode ( losing power, with error messages saying can’t rev above 2000rpm)
Error would disappear after restarting the car.
is it the 1.4 TSI?
@mwanzie, it’s a 2.0 L
I know only a few units were sold, but any update about 2015 ford fusion
I owned the 2.0 Ecoboost Titanium. Very good car. Feature packed and reliable. The problem is fuel consumption. I was getting 14 litres per 100km.
@mso8190 thanks for the response, mine is currently at 84k, still no issues, besides the fuel consumption off course. I'm planning to keep mine until 120k it's an incredible car
TIGUAN R all day ,i hope they release the new shape in 2025
Hyundai Tuscon and RAV 4 better options over Tiguan.
I used to only drive Audi & VW cars, that is until i had the misfortune of owning an Audi A3 1.8T with the 7 speed DSG gearbox, after spending 40K (at the time) on repairing the gearbox, i now drive a Toyota Hilux, never had a days problem in 11 years, VW has lost a loyal customer simply because they decided to put that unreliable DSG gearbox into their cars, i will never touch any vehicle with a DSG or CVT gearbox in my life ever! Manufacturers should go back to offering vehicles with simple 1,4 - 2.0L petrol/diesels with 6 speed manual gearbox`s!
Same here! Golf 7 cured me from 25 years of VW loyalty. Previously it had the handling of the Alfa combined with Toyota- like reliability. Now only the handling remains.
Genuine question: Who are all these people who can afford expensive new cars? I'm a lead software engineer and I will never, ever, ever afford a car like this.
What about the guy who employ the software engineer?🥲
@@lindorrazo5128 Ja that's a good point. My boss has a baller house in Sea Point near Ramaphosa's house.
Is that a phone on his table? It's sooo thin!
No way Ciro. You did not just recommend a manual Tiguan as the pick of the bunch. Everything sounded good till you said manual
Wouldnt touch it with a barge pole.
Thats what she said…
Awee Cirro
👌🏿😀
Selling OLD model, already new model launched!!!
This stern serious Cirro feels weird, very weird
He needs a software update
Y would you persist by saying ‘Tiggerwan’
It’s. ‘TIG GWAN’
Y o y!
Used tiguan prices 📈📈📈📈
No timing belt lasts forever
But you still didn’t answer the question 😂
So VWs aren't that reliable anymore. Nice to know
Junk resale and trade values
Kak car, engines and electronics are kak, overpriced.
Buyer’s guide for a Tiguan? Best tip you can give is to not buy this piece of junk at all. The pinnacle of VWs unreliability.
