considering a Tiguan

[blutopless2]

am considering a tiguan over the next few months - have to sell a polo gti first... and wondering if anyone has the sunroof fitted??
how big is it? i haven't been able to get hold of pictures of one.
so if you've got one can you post pics of it for me?

thanks.

There's 100s of pics out there

thanks... i understand that there are heaps of pics around... but none that i have found show the sunroof with any detail...
plenty you can tell have a sunroof.. but want an overhead shot of one.

I just remembered I took a shot of one at the Adelaide Motor Show in 2008

Only one shot though from the back seat





No overhead shots as I'm to short

That's a lovely shot of the Suzuki banner

I have the sunroof, it's BIG, in two parts, front part tilts up a little at the back or slides over the back part, almost all the way.
passengers in the back seat get to enjoy the view up as well.
Also, because there is only a cloth sunshade that rolls across the roof on the inside, the interior is always light and airy.

Because I live in the tropics I had the roof tinted as well, to lessen the heat comingh through. Innitially it was a concern, but in practice (and in summer) the aircon copes admirably.

I had a Golf previously with a s/roof, this one's much bigger and very similar to what can be found on Audi A3.

hope this helps

thanks for the info... went to see one yesterday at the dealership.. asked whether it was a two function (tilt or slide) and he said no... it only slides open yet the specs from the internet gave me the impression that it had the two functions.. initially the front section would tilt up to get over the back half but it will not stop in this position.
wife is undecided as she likes the smaller ones that come in the polo or golf.
lots of options to decide upon as we want the manual.
told it will definitely be a 6 month wait.

I was told that too, but it arrived in 3 months fully optioned with my specs. The manual box and clutch operation is v good, and a great match especially for the TSI.

quote we have - no negotiation at this stage - is $56,000 on road.
will be a leased car so this price will not be the final one.

they told us there is a delivery in about 6 weeks or so but they doubt with our spec list that there would be one on the boat with what we want.
not a prob as we have to sell a car anyways before ordering the tiguan.
and we still have to test fit our pram into it before the final decision.

blutopless, I had the same experience when I first saw one at dealers, salesperson could not show me the "tilt" function.

the knob on other VW sunroofs turns one way for slide, the other for tilt. On the Tig pano roof you have to tilt the button for tilt, and rotate for slide.

But the tilt is not as pronounced due to the size of the roof, still very good for sucking out hot air!

cheers

thanks... will try that the next time i go in for a look.

we are looking at 125TSI manual in mountain grey with :
sunroof
rns510
comfort pack
fog lights
leather
park assist
18" wheels (was looking at 19's but dont like the flared guards that come with them)
tow bar
side steps
door sill scuff plates
ipod adaptor
luggage net
boot liner

am guessing the above will be full retail price... so this will end up cheaper and think i will delete some options. get rid of the rns510 and ipod adaptor and run the avc9000 unit. also dont really need the towbar as i have one on the jetta.
then definitely thinking of the chip upgrade to 180kW.

anyone know if the leather seats are heated?
salesman said they are but options list does not mention it only says electric drivers seat.

i had a good laugh when we tested one as the salesman said that our pram (mountain buggy) would easily fit inside the hatch. had it in the jetta so took it in to try it and he looked quite embarrassed that it wouldn't fit in.. i have to try our other pram (mclaren) coz if that dont fit then no point in buying the car.

They certainly are everywhere else so I assume they are in Ausi. Didn't "say" they were heated here either but they were.

Bootspace is probably the main reason it failed to win Wheels' COTY...... they could not fit a pram inside ..... never mind the rest of the gear required in addition to the pram if you have an infant onboard ....

It is a big issue for my wife whose car it will be. She gave the boot 1 look and said it won't do. Since it will be a runaround only I'm still trying to convince her otherwise.
