Hi all,
Currently looking at upgrading our 2011 Tiguan MY11 103 TDI AWD DSG with leather pack and auto park (seems so standard now). We also own a MY16 92TSI Comfort-line Golf.
I live in rural north Queensland, it rains a lot up here. Every week I have to travel to Cairns for my wife to receive a day treatment at hospital. It's a 2hr drive each way and we sit at the hospital for about 4 hours. There is a lot of overtaking required on the way (grey nomads, trucks and farm machinery) and poor sealed surfaces on the way add to the fun.
Currently using the Golf for this trip as it's more nimble but the wife much prefers the Tiguan on the daily potter, if she goes out. The inclusions that are on the Comfort-line Golf are all I need. Auto wipers and headlights; the little extras of better quality cloth is a bonus too. Navigation I only use for speed zone reminders but its not important, car play is fine. I'm not a fan of all the drivers aids, but will take them if they are thrown in. Fuel economy is not a concern as for majority of the week the car sits as I walk to work.
I don't like the look of the standard Tiguan 132 TSI Comfortline at all. So we were looking at the 162 R-pack. I can get a MY18 in my preferred colour in December if I order soon. My attraction to this model is the performance and looks, not the toys. But now I've heard about the 162 Sportline and recently learnt about the Adventure model. Money saved is a good thing.
The Adventure pack seems a fantastic deal but my local dealer doesn't have one and could tell me nothing about it, learnt a lot on the forum today. :bowdown:
Pricing difference between the two is seems minimal (could be wrong). Please advise!
Can anyone shed more light in the Sport-line as it sounds ideal to me. (my next car was to be a Golf GTI but the treatment has put this on hold). Does anyone know what are standard inclusions and what options packs are available, also is the shape closer to the High-line or Comfort-line.
Thanks in Advance.
p.s. and is the same gearbox as the mk7 Golf as mines just started occasionally shrieking (60k) despite full VW service.
