    Tiguan Allspace SEL 1.5 tsi DSG. 5 weeks and still shy of 200 miles as clinically extremely vulnerable etc. Could cut and paste most of my thoughts of previous Touran SEL, but will stick to main differences.
    No chance to check out intelligent LED headlights function, but they’re  definitely brighter.
    KESSY and electric tailgate a boon for my limited mobility.
    Ergo seats excellent as is driving position.
    digital dash has some useful extra info.
    still prefer apple maps to updated VAG ones.
    auto wipers better calibrated

    ACS very good and might use it now

    lane keeping is new to me and the first tug came as a bit of a shock. Not suitable for B roads and traffic calming etc.  but just have to indicate to avoid a pot hole! Has to be disabled each journey. Handy on A roads.
    despite 19 inch wheels, ride is quiet and smooth. Very refined. Performance good enough for me. Coasting and cylinder deactivation imperceptible. Mpg so far high 30s. Can’t wait for some longer trips. My rollator fits in boot and have a hoist fitted as scooter next. My only extra, a heated steering wheel. Wonderful. No more gloves. Hope it returns Q2.
