We picked up our Tiguan 147 today and am very pleased with it. Only one problem - the arial hits the garage door!! Any suggestions.
Reflex silver, Sat nav etc, Leather.
Also having problems getting the iPod to work

I have the exact same problem, I was going to say lower the car but its stills hits just not as bad.

Park Assist, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Leather, Mats, Window tint, I think that's about all. Drove it about 200k today (40deg C +) and can report that the airconditioner works a treat. Can't say the same for the sat nav - I hope it is just because I have not read the instruction book.

I bought a stainless steel short aerial from Repco as my garage is on the low side too. Looks a million dollars but cost about $5 I think.

What's the ipod problem? If it's the media in, and you have an iphone which it says it isn't compatible, just ignore it, it will work anyway (though I don't know if it charges, haven't tested that yet).

All I had to do was turn up the volume on the iPod!!

I just picked up our new 125 TSI auto (comfort pack, sunroof, park assist). What a machine! First impressions:

If you are thinking of buying a Tiguan, do it!
Heaps of oomph, and flat torque curve like a turbo diesel
Park Assist is surreal. Great for spots that you think are too tight for the car
Sunroof makes the car feel special
Auto hold is clever, but you need to turn it on every time you start the car
You can drive off with the park brake on, as it turns itself off (as long as you are in gear, doors shut and have seat belt on)
