Awaiting arrival of my New 2021 VW Tiguan R-Line - Any updates please??

[Hillbilly]

What price did you negotiate for a Kamiq ?

How do you find it to drive ?

RRP and arrival date atm is 21/Sept There is a 5 month wait and no discounts

[FastMitch]

RRP ouch ... damn where have all the 10% off RRP gone ... damn chip shortage is making all dealers not want to give any discounts

Mrs has narrowed it down for her new small SUV to the Mazda CX5 (Maxx), Kia Seltos (Sport) and Skoda Kamiq (base model)

I like all the features of the base Kamiq but not crazy about a 1 litre engine, small dealer network, manufactured in Czech Republic, 95 RON and resale value of a 1 litre engine car after 6 years.

Have not test driven the Kamiq yet but here is my take on the other 2

• Best Internal Fit and Finish: Mazda CX 5
• Noisiest car (engine) driving 0-60 km/h: Mazda CX 5
• Smoothest driving 0-60 km/h: Kia Seltos
• Longest Warranty: Kia Seltos (7 trs)
• Most features included in base model: Mazda CX 5
• Biggest internal screen: Kia Seltos (10")
• 91 RON: Mazda CX 5 and Kia Seltos

Will let you know after I test drive a Kamiq her decision

Well the CX5 is Tiguan sized and the Kamiq is 200mm longer than a Polo and 200mm shorter than the Tiguan and is smaller and lower

You can buy a 1.5 engine but the LE is at least $39000 but it goes like s+++ off a shovel in comparison to a 77 Polo

The total size of the Kamiq screen including the buttons on each side in the LE is 330mm x 135.

Also look at a Tcross Polo sized SUV or the Troc which is a bit bigger

They cant make the Kamiq fast enough hence no discounts

Does the Kamiq come with Wireless charging and Wireless Apple Car Play ?

Yes.

ALL your questions can be answered here as it gives a full list of what it has near the bottom of it

MY21 KAMIQ

[FastMitch]

Test drove the Skoda Kamiq and the Kia Seltos

Kamiq
- Good fit and finish
- Good base options
- Zippy and torque acceleration for a 1L turbo
- 0-30 km/h jerky with the DCT transmission
- Droney tire noise reverberates into the cabin in 0-50 kmh
- Low riding, feels like a polo / golf seating position

Seltos
- Harder scratchy plastic
- Larger screen
- Smoother acceleration than Kamiq
- Noticeably quieter in 0-60 kmh
- More leg room and rear seat room than Kamiq

Do you know if the new Golf Life mk8 has the 1.4L turbo paired with an 8 speed torque converter ?

[Hillbilly]

Without being rude Im sure it would be faster for you to download a brochure and all your questions would be answered immediately.

Otherwise one of us probably has to do it to find out anyway.

Yes its a forum and we are all here to help but!!!!!!

The answer is in the first post in the Golf Mk8 forum.

Ordered the same - 2021 Tiguan Rline, blue on the 10th Apr from Ferntree Gully VW. Similar delivery date of mid September.

15 Apr got an automated email telling us that "Your Rline is next in line- with a link to a order tracking page"
Last night (19 May), got another email letting me know that it's been built.

I'm now wondering if shipping will really take 4 months.

If it's in transit you can track it with the VIN number
