    Picked up my Tig today, have spent a few hours in it ferrying the kids around to various things, haven't had much time to play/customise yet, but it's been great, so much more refined than my X-Trail, driving is a pleasure. Few things that come to mind.

    - Dynamic Lights are brilliant, love watching them start up
    - interior lighting is great, like the way the door handles are illuminated.
    - Apple car play is great
    - Bluetooth a breeze to setup
    - been taking it really easy, but you can feel the power under the hood
    - ride on the 20" wheels is firmer than I thought it'd be, feel the rough surfaces more than I ever have before
    - delivery experience at the dealership was great, really thorough
    - it's now filthy as there's been lots of showers this arvo
    - kids love it
    - automatic boot opener is cool
    - boot is bigger than I remember
    - DSG has been smooth
    - stop/start is ok, not causing me any issues
    - ALG is not an option under systems menu
    - Lane assist gives a nice reminder when drifting lanes, tested on purpose
    - Stereo is much better than I remember, actually quite decent and probably the best I've had in a car

    thats about it for now, will add the obligatory pic in the appropriate thread but haven't had time to stop and take pics yet sorry

    hang in for those who are still waiting, the first few hours in it have me mightly impressed
    Nice one, congrats!

                  • Where did people get the best quotes/prices on comprehensive insurance for their new Tigs? Prices obviously vary widely. Did people go market or agreed value for insurance prices?

                      Well depends on what you want your excess to be and location etc. many variables to do a like for like comparison. If you multiple policies with NRMA you get a good deal. Sure other insurers do the same. Bingle.com.au seems to be another which is cheap. Insured on market value though.

                          Thanks Eyes. Will be sending some pics through when I pickup on Monday(if all goes to plan). Apparently there are few pickups on Monday since a few came of Morning Celesta. Will be a busy Monday and a few more new Tiggys on the road in Sydney.
