I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Awesome, might be worth mentioning what did the trick, assuming it wasn't too embarrassing 😂

Well for those that are unwilling to pay the current asking price for VW quality ..... here is an alternative that looks 99% like a new Tiguan (can you just change the badges?) and is presumably a lot cheaper ....

and

Chinese SUV is straight-up clone of new VW Tiguan - CARmag.co.za

Haha I did laugh at this one.

Can we tune these things? I waited for 3 years almost in my R.. not doing that again!

I picked up my Tiguan Comfortline 132TSI 2 weeks ago and it is a fantastic car. Love the build quality and the drive.

Got a call from my dealer today and they have told me they have been told by Volkswagen there is a problem with some vehicles and mine is one of them. They are picking it up from me on Monday to replace the rear glass.
Anyone heard of any issues?

I think it has to do with the rear demister wires. A bulletin was sent out to a lot of detailers/tinters warning them as even light scrubbing could wipe off the lines causing it to fail. Plus its used for reception of GPS etc too.

Going to be annoyed if mines on the list as it has tint on it now. :/

Hi all

I've put an order in earlier this week for a 162TSI Highline, went with:

- Deep pearlescent black
- R-Line package
- Driver Assistance Package
- Sunroof

Have been quoted March '17 delivery. A couple more months to enjoy the Mk6 GTI. Will be sad to see that car go but really looking forward to enjoying the new Tiguan.

For those uncertain about splashing out for the $2k DAP option, I'd say absolutely do it if funds permit.

I'm saying that purely for the Adaptive Cruise, which is awesome and fully realises the potential of cruise control. It even brakes to a complete standstill and take off again (within 3 secs of stopping, otherwise just a press of a button or accelerator to resume).

Just treat the active info display as the icing on the cake

Yeah, I agree with this. It's going to make my daily commute a lot better!

Can I add my absolute praise for this feature. We took 3 test drives yesterday. Passat 206 tsi r line, Tiguan 140 tdi r line, and Tiguan 132 tsi with DAP. The DAP feature on the Tiguan matched the Passat 206 in how it automatically slowed down and accelerated again to keep pace with the car ahead. It was absolutely fantastic. It blew me away. The DAP option is a must for all Tiguans.

The 140 tdi highline just was not in the race. If it came with DAP then yes. I just say this because you don't have to take a highline just to get the feature, like the r line package.

Yeah I'm interested to find out when we'll be able to tint safely. We should get our Tiguan in 2 weeks (trading my 'Roc) and I'd like to get sides and rear window done.

Thanks,
Shane.
