Yeah I don't want to drive one so I won't know what I'm missing when I get behind the wheel of my Highline.

Agree it should be a good drive and the look of the R line body kit is great. Sara would have been happy with a 132 but I determined that if we are having a DSG car then it has to have paddles. I drive the Roc 95% of the time in manual using paddles. So her desire for something not silver, white or black and my desire for a more lively drive and paddles got us to the highline. All for a car that will do 5,000km per year if our current 2009 147tsi with 40k on the clock s anything to go by!

Nice!
Can't wait for 162tsi reviews to come through.
The engine alone should take an already impressive package up another notch.

Nice! Cannot wait for the new Tiggy.. and now I know the 162TSI has those exhausts at the back I'm even happier!

Go Auto have done a good review on the new Tiguan. In the specifications of various models, warranty is stated as 5 years and unlimited klms. Be great if that was accurate, but I believe there is only a 3 year warranty.

Yeah, it's 3 years, unlimited KMs. Do you have a link to the review?

Googling suggests this might be it?

Yeah, I found it. Not a bad write-up. Strangely enough they were critical of the road and wind-noise, whereas I had found that The Tiguans that I drove were really quiet, noticeable better than the Tucson and CX-5.
