My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

You can however set the opening height. So, if by default it opens too far for your garage, you can set it to not open is wide (high).

I wonder if they'll add a boot sensor to a later model though. If you've got enough clearance in your own garage it'd be easy to get caught out if you go away for the weekend

Yeah, a sensor makes complete sense.

You can change and set how far the boot opens

Sure guys. I understand, that you want to feel pain every time when you use your boot outside or your garage, because you set "open height limit" to use it in garage?

Check how boot door is build (it's form/shape) and try to program it to open it highest part safety to 2-2,2m height Good luck with using it comfortable. Of course, in most use cases it will be OK. And remember that people memory is short, and if once you reset this it will hurt.


In my case (2.0m height garage with outside-open doors), I used styrofoam and glued it to my garage ceiling in place where boot door can be damaged. Also I didn't ordered automatic bood door, becase still in other places like underground mall parkings you can forget about problem.

Without distance sensor it is broken feature for me .... awesome for usability and on paper, but still factory broken.


And again, I'm far away from AU. I never was there so maybe your life experience is different than mine.

I don't think it is on their list. Automatic boot door open is a feature know from years, and still no distance sensor.

Like always, it is customer response to use car with thinking involved

Did anyone get charged for floor mats? I just realized I got charged $195 for it and as per Australian specs it should be standard on comfortline and highline- I called the dealer about it today and he said that it is standard on European ones but not in OZ- not to sure if I should believe him or not???

Should be no charge, I got 162tsi on order and mats are included in contract. I think somewhere in the spec guide it notes mats are being included?

Department of fair trading.

Is there nothing these guys won't try?

They're standard.

I've got (in EU) set of velours in price of a car, and additional rubber set free from dealer. The only additional cost was boot mat.

[Pzero]

I think you pay for rubber mats, not standard ones.

Not sure which type of mats you got with your car or the specifications of your car but if you go by the Australian brochure:

Front and rear come standard on the 110 and 132TSI Comfortline as well as the 110TDI Comfortline (I would also assume that it was standard on the 162TSI and 140TDI as well - I can let you know in a few weeks when I get mine)

If you have the 110TSI Trendline, there is a dealer option to pay for mats that have the Tiguan logo on it.

Finally the rubber mats are an extra on all models.



Hope this helps!

After over 6 months of waiting we finally picked up our car from the dealer on Friday!
Haven't been able to drive it much over the weekend, but so far, everything is positive. The car is meant to be for my wife, but since she's on maternity leave, I'm going to use it to commute to work. I hope to be able to get it over the break in period within the next month so I can start to really push the motor.




Also haven't had a chance to take many pictures yet, but will definitely look to take more.
