  • Buying a Tiguan was a great move

    Well, picked up the Night Blue Tiguan on Friday afternoon and then took it for a drive out to Bathurst and Oberon on Saturday. The nippers were a little sad to say goodbye to our 10-year-old Forester, but not me!

    The Tiguan is a revelation after the Subaru. Its so quiet, tight and powerful; and so easy to drive. The 7-speed DSG is smooth and responsive, the handling is lovely and the 125TSI has plenty of power. I loved every minute of driving it.

    I also gave it the ritual first wash on Sunday - lovely finish and washes up a treat!

      Congratulations smithy!

      Would be a very big change going from a 10 year old forester to a 125TSI DSG Tig

      Leaps & Bounds - can't wait to get our new one. Just waiting on customs & the dealer. The DSG alone is an amazing experience in itself.

      There are some good threads in here on how to give the new toy some extra paint protection which I would recommend, to keep that beautiful new car finish

      Enjoy mate


      P.S. Any Pics?

          Here's a photo I took this evening (a bit overcast). Night Blue's a nice colour.

            Smithcorp,
            It looks great I couldn't decide between the pepper grey and midnight blue. I went the pepper grey but seeing your makes me want to change my mind. Enjoy your new toy!

              Yes, it sure is! Nice Pic!

              I'm still happy with black, but if I had to pick another colour... this would be it

              Time to enjoy it now

              Congrats again

                I quite like the Pepper Grey - would have been my choice if the Blue wasn't available. Mind you, while I've seen a few Pepper Greys, i haven't seen another Night Blue around yet...

                  Very nice mate, Night Blue was in our top 3 choices along with Pepper Grey & Black.

                    Looks pretty good, but it lacks the pop the Biscay Blue had, which is a shame.
                    Second the motion to get the remap.

                      I can't understand why they discontinued the Biscay Blue, that is an awesome colour.
