24 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday November 12, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com continued from page 23 for up to 70 per cent of all sales. The Comfortline starts at $33,975 and adds a number of features to the Trendline package including 17-inch alloy wheels, eight-way partial power driver's seat, heatable front seats and washer nozzles, leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel and shifter knob, panoramic power sunroof, premium radio with in-dash six speaker CD changer and eight speakers, privacy glass and upgraded cloth interior. My test vehicle also included the Technology Package, a $3,450 option that features a rear view camera, media device interface, Dynaudio 300-watt digital sound package (eight speakers, Sirius satellite radio) and a DVD-based navigation system. For more luxury features, the Tiguan comes with the Highline package, priced at $38,375 and including 12-2ay power driver's seat with power lumbar support and memory (including exterior mirors) 18-inch alloy wheels, auto-dimming interior mirror, Bi-Xenon headlights, dual zone electronic climate control, digital compass, interior lighting package, leather seats, rain sensor with automatic wiper speed control and Sirius satellite radio. Dressed in a Wild Cherry Metallic paint job, the test vehicle elicited positive comments from a couple of friends who admired the styling. "Never seen one of these before. Sure looks nice," said a neighbour, who normally never looks twice at the different vehicles parked in my driveway every week. I have to agree that the Tiguan is one of the best designed of the smaller SUV/crossovers on the market. On the road, the turbocharged 2.0litre engine performs well-- better than you'd expect from an engine of that size. The only negative is that premium unleaded fuel is suggested as it is with just about all turbos. There is little turbo lag with this engine and acceleration is decent with plenty of pickup for merging into highspeed traffic from the onramps. Transport Canada's fuel consumption ratings for the Tiguan 4Motion six-speed Tiptronic show 11.6L/100 km (24 mpg) city and 8.3L/100 km (34 mpg) highway. Decent numbers, but a touch thirstier than the competition. The Honda CR-V AWD and Toyota RAV4 4WD (both 2008s) had ratings of 10.7/7.8 and 10.1/7.7 respectively. The Nissan Rogue, meanwhile, posted numbers of 9.5/7.7. continued on page 25 Suzuki of Oakville 2219 Wyecroft Road, Oakville, ON L6L 5L7 Toll Free 1-877-469-5969 fax 905-469-4562 CONSUMERS SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING: Vehicles may not be exactly as shown.
