Saw a Tiguan 2.0TSI - MY11?

[Eastwood]

Hi all

I saw a 2.0TSI today. It has the new steering wheel and climate control as in the mk6 golf.

I must say it looks good.

I'm debating between a gti or a tiguan. Hmm. Choices, choices.

Wonder which dealers have stock out there.

Considered the Golf R? Take a look at Sharkie and Clip's Tig TSI's for examples of just what you can get out of your TSI if you go the Tig route (which would be a good move )

As for stocks, the dealers can see what stock is available in Aus from ANY VW dealer, so it's more a quetion of whether there is a Tig in the country that meets the specs you want. If there isn't one here already, I hope you're a patient person!

Besides the new steering wheel and HVAC controls, do these 2011 model come with new alloy wheel design? Strange that VW Australia site has no information and yet dealers are taking orders.....

The R would be nice but it seems stock is even more scarce than the Tigs. It's probably stretching my budget a little as well.

The one I saw which had the updated steering wheel has the same alloy wheels as MY10.

That's what I call patience.

Can anyone actually post pics inside from the passenger seat?

Yes,,,we want pictures

Is it also meant to have LED brake lights?

What I presume Arctra meant is .... the TSI Tiguans have the best of both worlds ... its got the engine of the GTI Golf and the AWD system of the Golf R .... add a single subtle mod being the APR chip and its as quick as the Golf R, yet still with the versatility of a small SUV ....

The MY11 DSG model I saw didn't look like it had LED's. Would be nice though.

I haven't seen anything (other than speculation !!) suggesting that the Tig is getting LEDs, rear OR front !!

As usual, I have to give myself the "happy ending".

In this case, with the help of YouTube:

Anyhow confirmation of these definitely does it for me and justifies my wait:
- 4motion badge at rear
- chrome trim around buttons
- new air con dials
- new steering wheel
- new shifter knob with 7 speed DSG

The new steering wheel is much better than the old one. I'm disappointed that it didnt have a new grill.
