Well so Day 1 - just picked up my fully loaded black Tiggy and drove it home. Roughly 36km of driving.

To be honest he great reveal was anti climatic as I have seen the car so many times in pics and in reality.

What really got me was actually seeing my personalised number plate on the car AND sitting in the driver seat with the awesome lighting, instruments and the ease of using everything around the driver... it was only then that I got excited about the Tiggy.

The drive home was a nervous one at night and learning the dimensions of it..

Easy connection of Apple phone and works a treat. The whole car feels high end. The DSG was smooth and in traffic felt easy especially with auto hold..

Impressed with the ride considering the tyres. The steering response is great. And you can tell there is some power waiting to be unyielded.

A very neat surprise was pulling into the driveway and I get a text from wifey stating that I should be quiet getting into the house with our little one trying to sleep.. The iPhone connected to the car picked up I received the message and asked me if I wanted to respond so I told it my message and sent it off all over voice and connected to the car. Pretty sweet !!

The lighting in the cabin.. just classy.

The beeping as we have a tight driveway has it beeping like crazy. Gotta get use to that and trust my driving a bit more.

Will provide further updates as I get more km on...

All those waiting. Don't lose faith. It's really an awesome car for the price point.

Keep you posted
CB

I'm trying to find the interior monitor disable button so I can lock my dog in the car (windows down of course). It's not where the manual says it is. Any suggestions? Did VWA leave it out of the spec?

I can't find it either and neither could the dealer...I think they left it out.

I vaguely remember that on MY17 models its was a physical switch and it was somewhere crazy like beside the rear passenger door, then in MY18 it was removed and put into the settings in the Discover system?

Check the MY18 Update Changes threads here and on the VW Tiguan forums in the UK because it was in one of those....

Hi guys,

Has anyone noticed the time from which you get the first welcome email from VW confirming your order to the next "built " email and then through to the delivery date? What are the times from the first email to those checkpoints?

I just received that first email 2 months after I put in my order, so curious.

Thanks.

I haven't even received a welcome email...dubious as to whether I'll see a 'built' one either. Had to email the dealer to confirm the order was actually placed. Still on track from December delivery according to them but tbh I'm not holding my breath seeing others on here being offered that sort of carrot...
