    Hmm...so, it seems to be a much better value option to get the 155 over the 130 TDI. Also, no bi-xenon lights option?

    Yes if you're looking to add a couple of options to a 132TSI/130TDI you may as well get the 155TSI with "the lot".

    Unfortunately no bi-xenons or LED DRL on any models - it's not even on the options list. 155TSI comes with standard halogens only.

    As with my previous comments if there are features in the MY14 that are a deal breaker for you that aren't being offered in MY15 you're best off tracking a MY14 down while there's still some left. Everything going forwards will have the new spec.

    I think bi xenon's are standered on R Line. At least they are on foreign (UK) Tigs. If it is not even an option too bad, for a R Line pac kage Xenons with DRLs are a must.

    I saw the 155 TSI R-line at the Canberra German Car Day this morning (see pics). No bi-xenons. The only option is the panoramic sunroof. I was told the ACT OTR a pricing was $52k! Not such good value, methinks!

    I see! too bad, yes it is not that good value for money then and add sunroof + bixenons( if they ever available as an option) price will end up around 57k !! Also no park assist (no front sonars) that is another 1k or so $$.

    To be honest only thing I like of that body kit is the rear bumper and narrow wheel arches.

    Well VW website finally has the new MY15 Tiguan model up (even though the cars have been at dealers for a few weeks).... but the online brochure is still for MY14.

    Quick update on the MY15 model options.

    If you're looking at adding leather and R-line kit to a 132TSI/130TDI then you can have one or the other but not both. Apparently they are exclusive options and can't be ordered together.

    If you want to have a leather R-line then you have to buy the 155TSI where they both come as standard.

    If you want bi-xenons, you'll have to wait for MY16/MQB platform and (hopefully) they include them as an option then.

    Well that's the $64 million question... or maybe the $40,000 question

    My situation at the moment is that the Tig has done just under 90,000km in around 3 years. It's due to have some $ spent on it in the not too distant future (new brake rotors/pads, rego, service, DSG oil change, etc). I know the DSG oil change isn't due just yet but I've been shortening the service intervals.

    Anyway the question is whether to spend the ~$2k and keep the Tig for a bit longer or to put the $ towards the next car. Also the other complicating factor is that my wife has put first dibs on the Tig (she's got a Mazda 3 with only 20,000km on the clock). I know it doesn't make sense to keep the car with higher mileage but that's women for you

    Soooooo I really don't see any point getting another TSI given that I'm effectively driving around a stage 2 version of the same car (mechanically at least anyway). I could take all the bits off my current car and transfer them to the new one... but then what's the point? A lot of work and around $25-30k to effectively get the same car with the odometer reset.

    The only car of any real interest is the 130TDI which I'm hopefully going to drive early next week. If I was going to go down this path I'd seriously look at getting an R-line version. The only disappointment is that you can't get it with bi-xenon and LED DRL which would be a big plus for me and also no leather unless you go without the R-line

    Which leaves me thinking that I should hang on a bit longer and wait for the MQB Tig... or perhaps the Skoda 7 seater.

    The $2000 spend to keep your car longer is still less than the deposit for the new car and 1 monthly payment, so if you'd paid off your current car, you're much better of waiting for the new model.
