Daddy Lim is very fond of Tiguan for its size, turbo and macho-ness. The many fringe functionalities, such as the auto-hold brake, auto sensor wiper and headline, auto dimmed rear mirror, auto adjusted-downward left hand mirror, etc, thrilled him too. Recently (all thanks to TL) we got the Bluetooth for free and Daddy Lim is so proud of it. Now, he can make and answer phone call without the handset or the hands-free kit via the Bluetooth. The only not-so-good thing is that Tiguan is always so thirsty. It drinks petrol like there's no tomorrow. My heart aches whenever Daddy Lim stepped hard on the accelerator. Hoho.
According Daddy Lim, the after sales service is good too. Their workshop opened at 7.30am and they even provide the customers (who sent their car to the workshop) shuttle service to the nearest MRT station wor.
As for me, I am not particular about the driving aspect of Tiguan. Afterall, I have only driven Tiguan once. Well, in comparison, it is really easier to drive an auto car - no clutch, no gear. Just that I already have problem trying to estimate the space needed for Jazzie, so you can tell how bad is it for me with Tiguan.
My only complained about Tiguan is the locking system. When we were test driving the car, we already knew that there is no proper locking system as in the back passenger doors can still be opened with 2 quick succession pull at the door handle despite locking them. The only way to really lock them is to activate the child lock function. In that way, the door can only be opened from the outside. To play safe, we child-lock one of the doors, the side where we placed the car seat.
Just the other day, my nieces were taking a ride and my younger niece who was sitting next to the door managed to open the door while the car was still cruising with just one tug at the handle! We tot that the locking mechanism had failed. When Daddy Lim sent the car to install Bluetooth, he took the opportunity to want to rectify the problem and was told that the new batch of cars (which Tiguan is part of), does not come with the double-pull locking mechanism. -___________-" The activated locking only prevents people opening the car door from the outside. That is bcos the designer of Tiguan thinks that nobody should be locked inside the car during an accident. The only way to really lock the car is to activate the child lock. Hello! Isnt it worse to be child-locked inside the car during an accident? Choy, choy, choy! Bo bian, car buy liao. We just have to live with it. Haiz.. stupid designer.
