both white and grey looks nice. just white is harder to maintain than grey.

Hi Guys,

I have been driving one - Comfortline - for about 3 weeks and it's a fantastic car and here are the pros and cons that I noticed so far :

1. Lively and powerful engine. Am surprised how much power can be generated by a 1.4 litre turbo. Take it easy on the pedal or fuel consumption suffers.

2. Good road holding with above average NVH qualities. Car fees solid and steady although suspension a bit hard. Steering lacks feel but is very precise.

3. Lots and lots of storage spaces and large boot

4. Engine is very quiet and smooth

5. Superb audio system and can be very loud.

6. City driving mileage about 13 kms per litre. Engine still "tight" - less than 1000 kms done so far.

7 DSG gearbox shifts very fast but can be rather "uncertain" when going uphill slowly.

8. Adjustable lumbar support for both front seats. Rear seats can recline a little.

9. Very spacious - generous leg and head room.

10. Very high quality and comfortable fabric seats.

Cons :

1. Fuel consumption can be a little high if driven aggressively

2. B column a bit too broad and can obstruct vision

3. A little low compared to other SUVs but seat height can be adjusted quite a lot.

4. So called day time running lights (non LED ) can't seem to be turned off.

5. No power boot

I don't know how good or bad the after sales service is but luckily the service interval is 15,000 kms. So I will only go once a year.

Ohh sweet then I hope I get my silver asap! It's a brilliant piece of kit this new Tiguan !
But I realized quite a big no no , which is that the tires on our high line are friggin 235/55r18s!
My guy quoted me Michelin 980rm ! Holy moly

Sorry, question I have. For service interval is 15k, but how long the engine oil can last? can it really tahan for 1 yr or 15k mileage before change?

it is one tyre price rite?

I suppose it only uses synthetic oil and service interval is 15,000 kms or 1 year whichever is earlier. I would like to find out later from the salesperson if I can bring my own synthetic oil to change or not. I don't really trust their mechanics unless I can see them work and change the oil. Who knows what they really put in. The salesperson told me normal service will cost about RM 600 each time.

Yes! He say if wider, 245/50 cheaper abit

Or we form a group then can hunt for best price for tires and etc together and share?
How bout we just share here lol

Ya. I just bought mid guard and bumper protector plate from aliexpress

lucky of you -- already enjoying your car...

Still remember I was shock when I saw the car came with Hankook Tires as standard, as I noticed some others region do actually fitted with Continental Tires. Cost cutting eh.

But Hankook ventus S1 evo2 SUV is not that bad actually, review is good.

DAMN, what a car.
When did you booked your car?! and may I know the cost for RAYTECH TINTING?

I BOOKED IT EARLY MARCH BUT SOMEHOW THY GO WITH LOU - THE EARLIER BANK APPROVED, THE FASTER YOU GET THE CAR...

I WENT FOR RAYTECH MX CENTURION - COST 2.8K

WHAT COLOR U GETTING? WHEN ISSIT COMING?

Early March, no wonder la.
I booked mine at April, White Color too.
My loan already approved, letter of undertaking already submitted to SA, still need to wait though.
SA can't confirm when will it coming, no news whatsoever.

Not to be a mood spoiler, but this wet clutch should be better at holding our hot weather eh? Ahh feeling anxious but the car is just too good.

The Comfortline comes with Falken Ziex ZE914A Ecorun tyres.

Hankook are good tyres.

The SA offered me 3M security tint for RM 2,000. He said it's worth RM 3,500 but gave me "special offer".

It's installed in VW SC itself.

However, I find that the front screen's tint is not so good in terms of heat reduction.

The salesperson told me that Malaysia has been included in the "Critical Climate Country" list and special attention is paid to weather sensitive parts. I suppose that's why they tested the Tiguan for 200,000 kms before launching it here. I hope they have finally solved the problem with the transmission which has hit VW Malaysia very badly. Top management had been replaced and people from Porsche has been helping VW Malaysia.

Thanks, hearing this is reassuring and yes I hear vw is working hard on regaining customers trust.

Ahhh good for you! I also gone for ray tech .. which dealer u book from? I booked mine at carlist test n buy event last Sunday.
