Matthew's VW Tiguan

[Matthew]

Hi,

So I took the plunge and put in an order for a new Fiesta ST, in Spirit Blue.

Luckily there was a '14' plate car in stock, so I only had to wait for a few weeks. The car arrived today!

My initial thoughts are, wow - what a fantastic little car. I can see why they got great reviews from the motoring press.

Handles great, the ride is great (I came from a Z4 with run-flats), and its quick - certainly quicker than my Mk5 Golf GTIs, of which I have had two.

Its also really economical - returning 35mpg after a spirited drive out today! The seats are brilliant also, as is the Sony stereo.

Plans currently are: Mountune it, and get a Triple R Splitter fitted. That's about it really, as I have it two years then it goes back.

Enough talk - here are a few pictures I took earlier today.

Really nice that.

Do they do 4 doors.?

 

[Matthew]

Only in the US mate I think.

 

[Daz.]

Crumbs of the chief - every time I stop considering one someone gets one!

 

[Matthew]

Its the car of the moment - that's for sure.

 

[jesus]

Very nice - I think that this is the best colour for an ST too.

 

[DrR]

Very nice that! ST-2?

 

[Matthew]

Yes. ST-2 with Style pack.

 

[Matt W]

Spot on.

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks nice mate, they do look good and that colour is very nice.

 

[Gally]

Perfect Matthew.

 

[Detail Chris]

Enjoy!

 

[Matthew]

The only fault I have found with the car so far is the passenger door takes a right good old SLAM before it closes.

I think a seal is stopping it close so it will have to go into Ford to sort that...

Ford build quality for you.

 

[Ben]

Looks fantastic, really tempted by one of these myself!

 

[daveski]

Lovely car.

 

[Washington]

Got to wait all the way till Friday for mine :dapprove:

DE14 bros though

 

[Matthew]

Ha DE14 all the way.

Car was filthy by the time the man got to me from Chester!

 

[Bluebeard]

Bloody lovely that is! Good work mate.

It was my Orion on your driveway that tempted you wasn't it....

 

[Matthew]

Yeah it was the condition of that 'thing' which put the thought in my head mate.

Why the f**k are you called Mr Potato?!? Ha

 

[makavelli]

Looking good

i like the fact that I have had mine over 2 weeks and still not paid anything yet

 

[Matthew]

Really?! Did you send back the acceptance form aswell? Ha

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks lovely, definitely the car i would have got if the M135i wasnt already sat on my drive!!

 

[N0ddie]

Such a good looking little car.

 

[clarkey23]

Looks lovely mate, I haven't paid anything and it's been 3-4weeks!

 

[makavelli]

the moneys sat there and i keep waiting for it to go from my account but nope its still there again today haha

 

[Matthew]

It will actually piss me off abit if they take that long. I have the money sat there and like to budget my outgoings very carefully etc.

Having it sat there will confuse me ha.

 

[leeroybrown]

Defo worth getting one then Matthew?

 

[bigup7]

lovely Matthew!

did you ask G2L if you could mountune it with no issues?

 

[MarkCup]

Quick tip - don't wear new jeans in it. I noticed the other day my seat base was taking on a blue hue - they seem to absorb dye. Cleaned up OK though.

I love this colour...was my first choice until I got impatient.

 

[Matthew]

Can't recommend one enough mate.

lovely Matthew!

I asked and their response was; aslong as when it goes back its standard, and it's fully insured, to for it! Ha

nice

i take it Ford give you the stock parts back when they fit mountune? only thing i guess is the remap

how much does it cost to revert back? (or is it even possible)

also the mountune badge!

 

[Alan]

Very nice mate

 

[Matthew]

To be fair, I would swap the air box over and just send it back.

I doubt the guy who comes to pic it up will have equiptment to find a Mountune map

DE14 bros though

Another DE14 here, mine arrives tomorrow.

 

[Matthew]

They must have bought a shed load from EH Chester!

 

[treemanx]

What time did yours arrive in the end Matthew?

 

[Gally]

There is going to be a lot of ST buyers getting quick "standard" STs in years to come.

 

[Matthew]

It came at about 11:30. The guy drive it here, then walked to the train station and caught the train back to Chester. I want his job tbh.

Gally, your correct there! Ha

 

[treemanx]

I'm banking on it getting here before 12, need a car to get to uni lol.
