Buying a new model VW Tiguan

I'm looking to purchase a new shape VW Tiguan automatic, however, I'm unsure as to the best engine to opt for. There is the seven speed Bluemotion diesel, or the 180PS TSI Petrol. Most of the driving will be shortish, stop start so concerned that diesel might not be the best.

Go for the 180 TSI.

Decent SUV with diesel automatic option. Comfortable seats. Escape version capable off-road. Optional Park Assist works well. Much better from September 2011 facelift.
