haha I just looked it up, the $32k Q3 isn't even AWD - you have to pay $34600 to get the full Tiguan drivetrain.

On the other hand, how many murican crossover lovers will even notice?

no one.


You must still be new to the whole "luxury market" and "options pricing" thing;) :lol:

Tig doesn't even have the FWD option, even the base $25k one is AWD.

:lol:

my point stands....


You get more for less money when you buy the underling brand.

Examples:

Toyota - Lexus
Nissan - Infiniti
Honda - Acura

and so on. You will always get more options and bang for your buck, for less money, with the lower brand over the higher brand. this is nothing new.

I wish. I think you've fallen victim to VW's new craptastic website. Pretty sure base $25k Tiguan is fwd. Of course when I use their stupid new "find a match" configurator and add awd the price jumps to $33k. I don't think that's right either. I think a base Tiguan with awd is somewhere around $28-29k.

They don't do that in other Audi stuff that I've noticed. A3 is a straight up Golf sedan with some options you can't get on a Golf, like DSG on the 1.8T and quattro on the 2.0T.

You can't get something like a vintage 2.slow+CVT FWD cloth halogen A3 for $28999 or whatever. The super base A3 has 1.8T, DSG, leather seats, xenon headlights, led tails, dual zone AC, giant ass sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, etc.

I think maybe it jumped to $33k for awd because those were the only ones available in my area since it's not a true configurator but "find a match." So dumb.

There is no way for me to find out the actual price of a base awd Tiguan using VW's new website. And I think that's the way they want it. I think you might be able to figure it out on Edmund's website.

If you get to the Tig 2.0T "S" page it says $25330 msrp (whether this includes destination is not clear) and then hit view full specs it says 4motion AWD. So if they didn't include destination it's probably just over $26k for a base AWD tig.

Yeah, cheapest MSRP for awd Tiguan I can find on Edmunds configurator is 27,285. Either way, Tiguan is dated. The interior is from 2007/2008 and the updated exterior was not an improvement. Interior and exterior both need new design.

the cla your gonna get your moneys worth my mother recently picked one up, we were looking at the A3 and both of our overall impressions with the audi is that its very basic theres the screen and everything but there was not much there. the CLA while there the honda civic of MB there still is a lot that comes with the base model, and the build quality is right where you would want it to be. As for space A3 your gonna get a lot more room, CLA your gonna sit two grown adults in the front, but your gonna sit there smiling because you do not have to sit in the back, seriously a grown adult in the back fits but your cramped. Audi fwd with the 1.8 Quattro with the 2.0 , CLA fwd (while you can pay a bit more for the 4matic and get awd its about 2000 if I remember correctly) both price wise tho seem to be in the same area tho you can run 40+ with the MB options.

Honestly it all depends on your needs, I was pushing for the audi from the start and then we saw the CLA and agreed it was perfect for her needs.
