The Tiguan I had the brief use of had the newer climate controls which were touch sensitive rather than the earlier rotary ones which I much prefer. The touch sensitive ones require one’s eyes to leave the road for too long in my opinion as they’re mounted low down. Probably ok for small temperature adjustments but not so good for bigger.
I’ve always got on pretty well with the mk8 clima, mind you I don’t fiddle with it much. It’s set for 17°c and left there summer and winter. When I’m doing a 5am start-up sometimes I need to put the front screen blower on for a bit but that’s conveniently located with the only moan being it’s not a proper button. Does the job though.
I don’t have seat heaters and with the fluffy seats I don’t find any call for them. The heated steering wheel is heaven though.
The facelifted T-Rocs have better plastics don’t they? I very briefly sat in a work colleague’s SEAT Arona a couple of years ago which is basically the same thing and quite liked the interior of that. He’s now got an MG4 on order. I’m looking forward to seeing that.
I have a big soft spot for T-Roc R’s. I might consider one of those in the right spec but would need the black exterior styling pack and heated steering wheel
It’s not the sort of car I’d keep long but would be fun for a winter or two.
It’s funny how you notice the low resolution displays in certain models only once you’ve lived with a mk8 for a bit. The resolution seemed fine when it was the only choice just a couple of years ago!
