I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

I've been checking the German forums and checking youtube for new videos on the 162TSI (220PS) almost every day

Thanks Mac, I think the only one I had seen with the 162TSI engine, but not with R-line package, was one in Habanero, in a Swedish winter (snow) setting (A VW presentation for car journalists). You probably have seen that already, as there are a few different reports from that session.

Which one was that? One of the first I saw was the Autogefuhl one in Sweden (in the snow) but that was Ruby Red with a TDI.

Same session in Sweden, I think.

I notice I'm pretty excited, but now I also realise why; in New Zealand this is the first new car I've ordered that wasn't already in NZ. When I lived in Europe all new cars also already were ready for delivery, here, and now, in NZ, the excitement builds up, which to me is a fascinating process. I didn't expect myself to grow this excited about it.

I am glad I am not the only one who's getting excited. I very much doubt that Carr & Haslam will deliver on Christmas day as the dealers won't be there to receive them. I see that the Tarago is still berthed in AKL, was supposed to leave at 20:00. Probably the weather. I am just happy that the car is off the ship. Just hope there are no mishaps between AKL and the BOP

Have seen this one. Surprised that there are no European reviews of the 162 by now. It has been available for a few months there in some markets. Equally not surprised about the lack of local reviews. The way things are going the first 162 reviews will come from our NZ friends on this forum!!
