Ouch... My car same spec but + Sunroof still scheduled for 9/5/22

Got to drive one last weekend, even more excited.

NSW? Does it sound good? And does it feel worth the wait?

I've been getting the updates from the dealer because I badger him on his mobile lol. He's very excited too.

Yep NSW. The one i drove was fitted with a GPF/PPF and sounded pretty muted tbh. I'm glad mine wont be coming with a GPF/PPF.
Yeah i'm even more excited now that i got to drive it. IMO Worth the wait.

Good to hear a review on the Australian spec. I really want to know what the exhaust sounds like, am very much hoping it will be sportier than the current setup. Am so bummed we don’t get the akrapovic option!

So went and took the new demo Tiggy R for a spin that the dealership got.
First impression was good! Exhaust sound is not as noticeable as I would prefer, but better in the R setting (quiet on the normal or sport setting).
Has anyone received theirs yet?
Mine due to be here in October.

I’ve also taken my dealers allocated car.

Silver with H/K (and cargo liner) $77,018 drive away. ETA 26 May 22

Mine turned up early. Picked it up on 13 May. Damn awesome

I have read that some R's have come with the ppt and some without... if the exhaust was really quiet could possible be a ppf fitted R as the one I drove had a really nice note

I've had mine for about a month now.

The car is awesome. It really feels great. Still getting used to the power band.

In a car that is 90% perfect, I will say one thing. The car does not stay in the power band in race mode... It drops gears late almost as if to save fuel. So if you dump the power in race mode, the car isn't ready for it. Weird.

Group buy akrapovic exhaust anyone?

For my next SUV, with the Tiguan R Driveaway (MRDP) @ $78,196 for 0-100km/h of 5.1 secs (235kW & 400Nm), I will need to test drive a fully Electric SUV that does a 0-100km/h of 3.7 secs to compare bang for buck
