I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[hcvo1]

So I asked my dealer for an update this afternoon and they told me they are expecting it to arrive late Feb (and pointed out that they need a week or so after it arrives to prepare it for delivery).

Mine is due late feb as well. Got a NADCON printout and it says it's due in Melbourne on the 21/2

Guys

I am going to put this rumour to bed once and for all. It was because of these rumors, I took it upon myself to contact Volkswagen New Zealand directly and they have told me that they are not aware of any production delays for the 162 R-Lines.

General production delays were discussed on the UK Tiguan forum
Not specific to 162TSI RLine though .. but you can see that VW do have some production line delays going on.

Not being an R Line may explain mine coming sooner.

Spoke to my dealer today. My Highline with DAP was assigned build week 43 - which is this week! So hopefully see it early in the new year.

.. and you don't have the R-Line pack?

I think it is. Frogasaursas bought from the same dealer as me (and ordered after me) but while the dealer was able to provide him with a build week, they told me today that mine hasn't reached production stage yet. I asked if it's because mine has the R-Line pack, but they told me they're not sure.

No, no R-Line. Order placed around Sept 20th.

No, no R-Line. Order placed around Sept 20th.

My 162 non R Line also to be built this week. Ordered on August 30. Still hopeful of end of Jan delivery.

If you're buying new then don't expect to get much discount - only way you may be able to get the dealer to negotiate a little is if you cross-shop against another brand.

Gonna go in tomorrow and test drive one, if all goes well will negotiate on price but 10% is the minimum I'd expect on a new one. I've easily achieved more than that in the past with the family's A3 Sedan (factory order, just launched etc). You just need to have a firm pricing and put your credit card on the table.

If that don't budge then walk away, they will call you back.

I finally picked up my car today!


RRP was:


132TSI Comfortline – $46,812 Drive away
+Luxury Pack – $5000
+DAP – $2250
+Metallic Paint – $700

Total – $54,762
Discount – $4762 8.7%
Driveaway price = $50,000


Plus first service free too ($45 so really total discount is 9.5% off of RRP prices.



Its freaking awesome. Really happy with it. Playing with all the features too. ACC is amazing (first time user) but being able to whack on cruise control and it adjust to moving traffic including going from 100km/h to stop and then pulling away again was really fun. Add in the lane assist where it steers the car itself to remain within the lane and I'm blown away. Can't wait until truly driverless cars.


Quality throughout is excellent. drive is beautiful. I'm impressed you can tell the difference so much between the driving modes (ECO, Normal, Sport) it really does alter the dynamics of the car enough to notice it easily.


My only disappointment really is in how little you can customize the dash. For such a large display it's somewhat wasted. For example you can display the range left in the center. But its one line of text. Why not allow widgets so i can see range/economy plus song playing and other info all at once - its not short on space. Also being able to change the dials, style, colours would of made it so much more appealing. It's a nerd gripe but it wouldn't of taken much to really add some WOW factor to it.


If anyone has questions ask away. But summed up, its a beautiful car. Incredibly happy and glad i picked this over the CX-5, Sportage or Tucson.

If they make the dash have widgets and more customisable, then I'd say you eyes would be more focused on the dash than the road.

Not really. You can limit it to only be able to adjust when stationary. Plenty of cars have dashes with multiple widgets. Ford's Sync does it (Not customised but they've done that for you).

Are you talking about the 8 inch infotainment or the digital dash cluster?

i thought ford sync was the infotainment and they don't do a digital dash

Its freaking awesome. Really happy with it.

Glad you like it! $50k is in the order of what I am aiming for so good to know. Having it in person how do you feel about the headlights? That is the comfortline's weakness compared to the opposition

Had a look at a merc CLA 250 sport yesterday, that's a sexy ride. Am tempted to cancel my R-line order and get one of those. Hmmmm decisions. May have to do some more research on them
