Both the VW and Kia are slower but I like the styling of the Tiguan and the Kia's warranty is really good. Plus they are all forced induction, which is a must for me.

We have a Tiguan and with a stage 1 APR tune it's very quick. However, we're having carbon build up issues at 40k miles that are a huge pain. It's a nice vehicle and the size is great, but we're kind of over it due to all the misfires and pricey carbon clean costs. Oh yeah, and the transmission is the poster child of slushbox. VW, why no DSG??????! Lastly, because the motor is the transverse 2.0T, it's clutch based Haldex 4Motion and not mechanical diff Quattro like the Q5.

Yup. That 3.0T is going to be awesome but around here it's selling (orders) for MSRP which puts it into $50k territory.
