Good afternoon, everyone. As you have been able to read in the title of the post, in the next few months we are changing the company car and I am in doubt about which one to choose. Taking into account that we are a family of 4 members who use the car frequently for long trips and holidays and that the fuel is paid by the company, from these 4 options, which one would you choose and why? Thank you very much for everything.
Option A) KIA NIRO 1.6 GDi HEV 104kW Drive hybrid (141CV)
Option B) AUDI A3 Sportback Advanced 35 TFSI 110kW S tron (150 CV)
Option C) AUDI A3 Sedan Advanced 35 TFSI 110kW S tronic (150 CV)
Option D) VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN ETSI DSG Híbrido (150 CV)
Tiguan without a doubt
Option c alllll dayyyyyy lonnngggg!!
Niro or Tiguan. The A3 sportback and sedan are good for 2 people, but a bit of a squeeze with 4 people.
What? They’re totally fine for 4 grown adults. 5 might be a bit tight but that’s the case with all of them.
I just looked it up and the A3 is very close to the same size as my older IS 350 and that thing is CRAMPED in the backseat. People 5’4” and under can do “fine”. 5’5”-5’10” definitely fit back there but it’s not comfortable. 5’11”+ are hitting their head and cocking their legs at an angle. And all of this gets even worse if the front row passengers are tall.
Well that’s the IS 350
Did you miss my point that the dimensions are extremely close, so I figured I would be able to compare the two pretty easily?
We managed fine with 2 people, anything more than that and we would have needed a roof box to get stuff on holidays etc.
Doesn’t seems like a big issue then
Big enough issue to choose the Tiguan instead, if that’s an alternative.
Idk about the Niro so I’ll exclude it from my opinion.
Audi A3 is cool but the sedan looks like a shoe to me, for a family of 4 it might be a little cramped and I’m not sure what engine corresponds to the 35 tfsi but I think it’s the 2.0, which tends to have issues around 40k-60k km.
The tiguan is higher and roomier, and it’s hybrid, for me that’s the no-brainer
Company car so he shouldn’t be concerned about longevity or maintenance at all.
Why are you like this?
There needs to be some level of reliability in longevity and maintenance as they are using this for the family.
