I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Technically the tigger is my wife's car (though a company car) so it might/is likely to stay stock.

The roc though is due for replacement in April so just about to start the search for its replacement now....based on previous history the tune gets added about 6 months after delivery - time enough to work out any initial bugs.

S3 favourite at the moment but next Saturday is test driving day. Start with S3, CLA, bmw340, XES (need 4 seats this time around) and go from there.

OK on the Tig. Love the S3 and BMW 340. Both great cars.

Looks great! - You said Official VW Towbar - was this ordered through Gerald Slaven/Lennock and what was the cost? (Apologies if I've missed this somewhere else) and do you know if this was fitted locally in Canberra or perhaps somewhere else?

I can't believe how frequently I'm checking this website for some Tiguan updates.

Mines coming in less than 2 weeks.. not sure how people are waiting to May. I'm dying over here!

I'm hanging out too, although I'm going to take one for a drive tomorrow - just spotted that the local dealer has a demo in stock.

Been out and about in the R Line 162 today. Covered almost 500km in a loop up to Ballarat and then on to the Pyrenees wine area and then back through Castlemaine to home. Covered a variety of roads and I must say that this is some car! Comfort, ride and handling have exceeded expectations. The DSG in this car is more refined than the version in the Mark 7 Golf GTI that I had previously. I mentioned in a previous post that tapping the shift lever into S mode give the car a real lift in performance and flexibility - it's more urgent and just gets up and goes. Fuel economy for the run showed 7.9l/100km.
