Hi everyone,
Currently drive an 2019 Ateca 1.5 TSI which comes to the end of its lease period with SEAT finance at the end of July. I've had a Tiguan R-Line 1.4TSI DSG e-Hybrid on order since January (order was put in by the lease company October 2021) and as it stands, it still has no build date.
I'm getting a bit tetchy now over what to do, and as such I've been looking at other options. Now, as I've already paid a 'Broker fee' to my lease company (the Tig still came out cheaper than elsewhere, even with the fee) I feel like I'm a bit stuck with them so have looked at other options that they have listed and the Formentor is one of them. I have the choice of either a 1.5TSI V2 DSG or a 2.0 190 4Drive V2 DSG, both are quoted at 12-14 week factory order delivery with the suppling dealer. I like the look of the Formentor, it's just the boot and rear space that is putting me off - does a child seat fit in OK? Obviously with the Ateca we have buckets of space in both the rear and the boot.
Over on the Tiguan forums it's looking dire. The factory has been shut and there is a serious supply issue with wiring harnesses and chips. I think the fact that I've gone for the hybrid isn't helping matters either.
Could that estimate be right, is it really only 12-14 week delivery from factory order at this point with Formentors (excl. Hybrids)?
Basically my conundrum is do I stick with the Tiguan order (originally estimated as a July delivery) or do I swap over to a Formentor order and hope it comes end of July/Start of August? Get your crystal balls out
