@NZ_GolfR - here's one from your backyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQHlmwiDqmo Roof lining at 2:05.

I was looking for that one but couldn't find it, I was searching for 2017 Tiguan though which would explain it.
I have the dark roof lining in my Golf R so used to it and prefer it, never was much of a fan of light coloured interior.

In the brochure it says tailgate easy open easy close.

Is this a wave/kick foot to open and close?

Or does close require to press a button?

I think easy close is where it detects that you walked away and it closes automatically - it probably senses the key is no longer behind the car

It also opens with the wave of a foot (pretty sure I saw this in an Australian video review).

How it works in real life is... you swing your foot, nothing happens, swing it again, nothing happens. Try a few more times, nothing happens. So you use the key fob

Personally I think it's a gimmick. The dealer tried to demo it, and it hardly worked.

I have a friend who has a GLC250 with similar "technology". It's just as crap in the Merc.

Lol how much more do you want for 4k? Whats 4k these days? I'd say its not a bad price for everything you get... not the best but not too bad. I guess if you are at the max of your budget then you won't see it as a good deal but for some, there is no tiguan without the r line pack

I think 4K for the R-line here is good value.

In Germany, you pay 2765 EUR for the R-Line package and that gets you 19" wheels, not the 20" Suzuka (that's an extra 1245 EUR). You also get cloth R-line seats. If you want Vienna leather R-line seats, it's an additional 2590 EUR.

Been looking at European prices and for an R-Line 140TDi with 20" Suzuka and all the gear you get here you're looking at over 50,000 EUR (most I've seen have been selling around 55,000 EUR). It's not cheap over there.

My folks have a Ford Kuga which has this feature and they use it all the time - seems pretty reliable on the Ford, but I've heard similar sentiments to yours in regards to the Tiguan.

The sensor it under the left side of the boot, from my (not very) extensive testing, it works when i go under the sensor twice.
