I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[Grugly]

I got to test out the automatic brake system reversing into the garage today. It's a tight garage and can do it with my eyes closed but the sensors freaked out and locked up all the breaks giving me a heart attack.. atleast I know the feature works!

hoping to get a decent drive in at the weekend... i think the almost we've had it, i've managed to get in the drivers seat for a whole 20mins... I think wifey might like it just a little... haha

HA! same. Reversing out of driveway, have to shimmy past other vehicle (have done it a 1000 times in other car), Tiguan beeping like mad, suddenly freaked and locked up. Thought I'd hit the back of the STI with the brand new car. Nope... Bet I could have made it too.

Yeah for some reason it just freaks out now and then... the work car park the sensors go mental and there wasn't anything close to it... couldn't figure it out...

The auto braking did save my ass in my GTI though... reversing out of our driveway (car either side) someone came flying down the hill. it hits the brakes pretty hard!

Now officially have been without my new Tiguan longer than I had it for.
Currently driving a rental Mitsubishi Outlander which has been provided by VW.
2 cars are like chalk & cheese.
Hope the new compressor arrives soon as I am forgetting what my Rline 162 was like.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Hopefully you'll get it back soon and when you do you will really appreciate the difference

Local dealer did a good job of getting me back on the road. Went for a drive last night and put on 85km which puts me over 800km total!
Driving the Tiguan again reinforces my opion that it is definitly the best mid size SUV. Outlander was an honest car and definitely is far cheaper, but not in the race with Tiguan.
If anybody complains about the DSG again I will tell them to drive a CVT. Talk about rubbery drive. Makes lots of noise as revs rise but without the actual forward acceleration I was expecting.

I have been given the VIN and tried to get my nerd on but the website other users on here previously used to track the vehicle on the ship does not allow it due to privacy concerns. At this stage I have no idea how to track the ship. If you or any other users have any tips i'd love to hear them!!

Hey mate, any luck on tracking our ship? Also, I had word from the dealer that our ship docks in Sydney on the 13th March so hopefully we don't have more delays. Any more updates at your end?

Hey mate, I had no luck tracking ship due to the website other users on here were using stopped the VIN tracking due to privacy reasons unfortunately. Last I heard from dealer is the car will dock in Melbourne tomorrow. If you have been told it docks in Sydney on the 13th maybe it has been delayed as 11 days from Melb to Sydney does't sound right (saying that I have no idea on time frames haha). Did you lease/finance through your dealer? I am weighing up interest rates.... Also, are you getting paint protection?

. Did you lease/finance through your dealer? I am weighing up interest rates.... Also, are you getting paint protection?

I used VWFS through the dealer purely for the VW choice program where the balloon is the guaranteed value in 4 years.. ended up on about 6% as an interest rate. Repayments are about the same as any other finance companies.

Paint protection is also better through a 3rd party detailer.. for what you get i recommend holding off and using the cash saved to find a good detailer. (But this is only my opinion)
