Another Tigga hits Adelaide Roads

[mickofoz]

Well... after a 4 month wait, I finally took delivery of my new Tigga today. Cheers to Solitaire for looking after me.
It's been worth the wait. I don't remember the test drive being so smooth and quiet. She's a dream to drive. I opted for the 125 TSI petrol and I gotta say AMPLE POWER! This thing just takes off from the lights leaving everybody behind. (Not that I'm racing already). I'm glad I chose the 125.
SatNav is excellent although I have to take it back in to change the region code to Australia. Apart from that, we are currently experiencing a heat wave here in Adelaide and the Airconditioner in the Tigga is so powerful, if you turn it all the way down, you would need your ski clothing inside to keep warm. UNREAL!
I freaked out my sister with the Park Assist. It managed to squeeze itself into a carpark I would have never attempted myself. Only problem was getting back out again. It was a tight fit.
Rear View camera is great too. You even have a good viewable picture at night. The rear of the car is well illuminated and the camera picks up enough light to produce a bright image on the screen.
Paint Protection, Cloth Protection and Tinted Windows came with a lifetime certificate. I was told to only wash the car on a regular basis and I will never have to polish the car. We'll see.
Bluetooth works well although it's only the standard version. It mutes the radio automatically when you initiate a call or rerceive a call. Audio clarity is excellent on both ends. Would love to have the premium version though.
My verdict after day one: Excellent

Great photos, nothing like a black Tig!

NICE! Very nice!

Gotta love the black, and love your first impressions of the car. I see you got Pirelli P6's with it... maybe that's contributing to the quieter ride a bit?

Can't wait to hear your ongoing commentary...

Hmmmmm, perhaps there must be something wrong with our AC then. I live in QLD and even with the AC up to max cool, I'm not overly impressed with it.....but then again I do like my cars cold!!!

My Tig Aircon is great even with sunroof. Today (hot and sunny 29deg) I had to turn the temp up to 21 deg because I was too cold. Much better aircon than the Golf V. No complaints from me. I would check the temp at the air vents and compare with another Tiguan.

Is it a 2010 model? We have a 2010 model and the RVC doesn't work yet, apparently a bug in the software. Did you have any problems?

[Pullstarter]

Must be a 2010 it has the different gauges and white MFD. Congrats!

[mickofoz]

Yep, its a 2010 model. Camera works fine. So far everything's working. No problems detected yet. Fingers crossed.

Well... it's been almost two weeks since I have taken delivery of my new Tigga. I just thought I give an update on my thoughts about the car.
There really is not much to report. The car has been operating without ANY faults. Everythng is working beautifully. Love the SatNav, Love the RVC, Love the Bluetooth... love it all!
End of Report!

I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 and I find them very quiet. But generally speaking the Tig has good soundproofing.
