VIC From MPS 3 to Tiguan 155TSI

[Taz]

Hi guys and gals,

I have been a proud owner of a Mazda 3 MPS for the past 4 years but with a baby on the way, my wife and I are looking for something more practical. Two weeks ago, we took a test drive on the new Tiguan and was blown away with the ride quality and the general fit-and-finish. We decided put down a deposit for 2012 Tiguan 155TSI to replace my pocket-rocket!

Hope to see Victorian members around.

Cheers,

Taz

Welcome mate.
When do you expect to have the 155 and what options did you get?

Glad to see you changed brand although the CX5 is going to be a pretty competent beasty.

Hi team_v,

Thank you for the welcome.
Dealer has been vague about the delivery, saying that I should expect delivery around June. I ticked bi-xenons, black leather, park assist 2, factory RVC and metallic paint for night blue as options.

We wanted to wait for the CX-5 but my wife and I fell-in-love with the Tiguan during our test drive and decided not to wait...

P.S. I have been following your thread and it is awesome! I can't wait to have some of the mods myself...

I would definitely reccomend at least Stage 1 tune if it's available for your car.

Are all 155's DSG?

[Taz]

I believed all 155's are DSG only.
Stage 1 tune will definitely be on the card and I am also thinking suspension works like springs and sway bars somewhere down the track.

DSG mated to a Stage 1 TSI is going to drive like a dream
Suspension work is okay for hte Tig, i believe there are many options out there.
A thick rear sway bar is apparently the way to go.

Thanks for the input, team_v!
I'll keep you updated with any mods I do...

Cheers,
