Anybody considering the Tiguan Allspace? Considering a few 7 seater SUV vs MPV now. CX8 vs Allspace vs Merc GLB vs 2017 Alphard/ Vellfire
Personally i prefer SUV as the drive is better than MPV definitely. Plus I still think it is ok to drive SUV to work everyday. I am sure it will feel a bit weird driving an Alphard alone to work everyday.
I like CX8 as the room is better than tiguan allspace and about the same with GLB. yes GLB price is a bit higher. Driving wise, i like allspace better, more responsive and more nimble. I am only looking at GLB 200, 1.3 turbocharged engine, and i am afraid that it will feel under powered when carrying 7 peoples.
Any one facing similar dilemma?

QUOTE(newhouseowner @ Sep 29 2020, 01:46 PM) My wife driven CX 8 2.2D to work everyday. Whack genting to the top hill just piece of cake for a 450nm of torque, haha.. Are you using Euro 5 or normal Diesel? Now mazda is offering a 6 yr warranty and free service. Very tempting. One thing I hate about the CX 8 is the cockpit. The meter cluster look dated and the touchscreen display look tiny, just a bit bigger than my phone screen.

QUOTE(jflee169 @ Sep 30 2020, 08:49 AM) GLB 200 is using a 1.33 litre turbo charge engine and it is 3 cylinder engine. Based on the car reviewer, 3 cylinder engine tend to be noisier and noticeable vibration. Furthermore, it is a Renault engine, not MB itself. With that price, I would not go for it as third row was not suitable for adults (just like Tiguan Allspace). If you are looking for roomy and more spacious interior for more than 5 persons, I would say CX-8 is the right one. If I were to choose, I would go for mid-spec with 6 seater. Thanks man. Never knew that the GLB engine is Renault's. Renault does not really known for its reliability i believe. That is a turn off. Anybody know if Mazda sell any pre reg car? Do they have any demo or pre reg CX 9 for sale?
