Yep i have the leather/sports seats. Very similar to the GTI golf seats, except a different headrest.

It actually improves fuel efficiency with the tune. I regularly get 800km to a tank of diesel, i fill up just after the fuel light comes on with ~100km to empty. I have read/heard of guys getting ~1000km after tuning around town.

Agreed, my dad has a 2.0 TDi tiguan with the 6 speed and he changes gears quite frequently, couldnt imagine a manual with my car. DSG is win!
