My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

[Jackson22]

Thank you!

Had a black hot hatch before this and can’t go past the look (I know about the dirt haha!).

It looks so much better without those roof racks. Panoramic sunroof and tint adds to it. Will change the rims one day but for now originals will do.

DAP is my fav feature. Got it at 20kms and already at 58kms. Will hit 500 before Monday I think.

Nice little touch from the dealer - when you push the start button it welcomes me by my first name. So cute.

They really are a stunning car. I’m giddy

Must admit I am feeling a bit the same way. Really impressed after 300k's, coming from a 12yo car so it's new and modern and fantastic. Still getting used to the options etc but loving it. Congrats!

Congrats to you too! That’s a big upgrade, it will feel like a space ship!

Can anyone advise the cosmetic differences between MY17 and MY18? Also, anyone with MY18s what was your 'build' date and are your plates listed as '2018' ones when you do a registration lookup?

Think I'm being shafted on my order...

Mine is a late Oct 17 build MY18, complied 01/18. Shows up in rego search as a 2017.

Cosmetic differences I'm not 100% sure, but mine has the different infotainment glass as someone else mentioned, two USB ports in the front and a USB port in addition to the 12V charging port under the climate control at rear of the centre console for the back seats.

If you want me to look at anything in particular let me know and I'll take some pics.

Might be hard to see, but just in there

Interesting! Definitely only one USB in the front of the Oct17 Adventure and none in the back (just 12v)

Mine is a Sportline, so wonder if that's the reason? I'm not across all the variations in spec.

First off the Tiguan is not an autonomous car and was never sold as such. These are driver aids and designed to assist you in driving the car and not drive it for you.

In regards to the stationary object I am certain the system has recognised the object. It however thinks you’re either going to stop or manoeuvre around the object rather than run right into it.

So it is waiting for your input as to what you’re going to do.

If you don’t decide and just drive straight ahead it will emergency brake to avoid hitting the object (car) but this is only because you have not steered or braked yourself.

So I see the system is working as it should as a driver aid.

My C Class Merc with adaptive cruise control will stop (not emergency brake) if the car ahead is stationary, like at a traffic light, and then accelerate back to the set speed once the lights go green... Pity VW does not have this..

I have just ordered a Tiguan 162 with all 3 packages and disappointed to hear this..
