Very fun to watch your reviews mate. I can totally see your passion for cars. Keep up the good work. Always good to see local content👍🏼 . From an 2019 162 R-Line owner. Love the car to the bits but only two gripe is the cup holders are very hard to use and the interior build quality is not up to the mark. Lot of rattling inside the cabin because of poor quality build. Been to the dealership for atleast 5-6 times to get some warranty work done due to the build quality like failed front driver and passenger grab handle spring, rear seats rattling, fuel pump line rattling, heat shield rattling, rear window lock switch spring failed and started rattling. This is all in only two year of car ownership. Lucky got everything fixed under warranty. But Saying all that i will still forget everything when i sit behind the wheel and hear the upshift farts 😜. For the price i am very happy with the driving fun it gives me everytime i drive.
I have the same problem with my MK6 GTI (everything rattles, sometimes the weirdest things) and I was really hoping newer VWs are built better. Doesn’t seem like it, unfortunately!
Hey, I have driven that car here in Germany on the highway with 235kph, with the 2.0 245HP (180KW) engine, its fun to drive it at this speed. In Germany you can get it with wireless charger, its called business package. And it’s totally worth to get the Harman system, its way better then Golf Harman system. Best wishes from Germany One addition in Germany it has digital radio (DAB+) , even the base model of Tiguan has it, I wonder why it doesn’t has it in Australia.
Oddly NO Volkswagen in Australia has DAB…yet other VW brands like Skoda all do? It’s cheap, cost cutting on behalf of VW, though like-for-like, the cars are in fact a fair bit cheaper here than in Germany
Monochrome was great to drive. Not quite the mongrel that the GTI-P is. But I haven’t gotten used to throttle response and car overall yet. Plenty of juice to be happy enough.
I have the new MK8 Golf and facelifted 162 Tiguan, both have the Harmon Kardon sound system…. Harmon in the Tiguan is a lot better than the golf, especially bass. Worthwhile option to tick if u ask me
Great review Matt, but saying it’s quick is a bit of an overstatement IMO. After testing one recently I just found it a bit meh, although they look nice. Keen for the Cupra Ateca to arrive in Oz.
@@witton6475 oh no! So sorry to hear that! I put down a down payment and they said i should get the car in January; let’s see! What did you end up getting? & how has the experience been?
