Title: Tiguan
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 12 April 2013, 19:37: My other half is already getting itchy feet with the cab and I'm trying desperately to keep her VAG bound, has anyone got any experience with the Tiguan? She'll be looking at an R Line, 177bhp on 19"s.

Get a test drive in one and go a good long run in it or get it for two days and use it .

Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 18 April 2013, 20:18: So picked it up tonight and the first impressions are good, plenty of space and I quite like the cloth interior. Don't like the auto hold nor the electric handbrake but I guess it some of those things you just get on with. Here's some pics anyway:-

Hopefully Bev will go for the white and 19"s. then I'll put black gloss wing mirrors on and black gloss rear diffuser. We're gonna go for a proper drive tomorrow night. I cleaned it too which take any longer than one of the golfs, which is cool.

Post by: Jimble on 18 April 2013, 20:43: Looks smart that mate, i actually considered one until i drove a mk7 GT and thought the interior was a little bland, very practical though.
Title: Re: Tiguan
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 18 April 2013, 20:51: Yeah can see where ya coming form mate, the interior isn't bling at all, but bev ain't bothered about that. We'll see how she gets on with it and go from there.

Post by: Pinky 1959 on 19 April 2013, 21:04: You will get used to the button handbrake and auto hold and a Tiguan and Golf in the driveway both in white are well smart but hell to keep clean and polished .

Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 19 April 2013, 21:54: Yeah but I love it, keeps me out of mischief!

These two features completely killed the Tiguan as a prospect for my wife.

I liked it.

How did you and ure wife get on with the tiggy and is it ordered yet ?
Title: Re: Tiguan
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 25 April 2013, 06:15: Really liked it but the figures just weren't adding up due to the fact that we've only had the cab 9 months, so I suspect we'll wait until this time next year.
