Made a visit to my local VW dealer today to take some measurement of the standard Tiguan and happy to say I will be dropping the idea of a Allspace.
The showroom was sparse, five cars in there altogether and two of those were Tiguan’s, one basic and one Life but my mission was to check out the seating arrangement so mission accomplished.
Must say the Tiguan has a very big step down into the floor of the boot but should not be a problem using my hoist.
Only let down with the Elegance I could see is I would have liked the heated windscreen option @£315 however you also have to have the inductive phone charger @£425 so £740 all told so will give that one a miss.?
The dealers Motability specialist seem to be on the ball and said sorry for the delay in attending us but I said I had not made an appointment and didn’t require any help on this occasion but thanked her all the same. She knew about the loading problems of the Tiguan and my scooter and she made the point I would have to remove the scooters chair to clear the doors height and I said its not a problem as I have to do that in my current car.
She was on the ball with Motability prices and pointed out there would be another price release for the car on July the first and also made the comment about the Touran being over priced on Motability and that did make me wonder if they remembered me from 3 years ago when I complained about not being offered any discounts on the extras I was adding to the Touran back then, then going to another dealer and ordering with them.
Anyway made an appointment for the end of July to put an order in if there’s no silly price rises in Q3 and with all the gear in the Elegance I’ve no need for any extras but I’m having thoughts about adding tyre monitoring as I still remember the many false alarms I had with my Seat Leon and my last car, the Golf.
