interested in VW since mk5 but not willing to spend more than 100k for a car... that's why the Polo is soooooo tempting... its 110k, fffff

Yeah the Polo is nice as well but I sat in one before (not the new version) and I found it to be quite cramped (I am rather large ). I test drove the Golf GTI Mk6 several times already and I really love that car. Contemplating whether I should save up for the Mk6 instead of the 1.4

+1

VW > Honda. Anytime.

the previous polo is really small the new one, think Jazz

i tested the mk6 also, love the torque

Got some photos from a forum in Singapore for the new Golf 1.4 TSI model.

Check them out below.

even the latest top gear mag's hot hatch tests section said that it didnt really live up to expectations...it does look really good though...but i'd rather get a mito if its in the 150k price range....if 130k...then its damn worth it....

I would choose the Polo over the Jazz without batting an eyelid since they are similar priced. But the fact remains that in terms of interior space, the Jazz offers more (esp the boot space) and there are people who need the larger carrying capacity.

All I can say that both the Polo and the Jazz (and many other B segments) are horrendously overrpriced in Malaysia... Regardless of which one you choose it's just not the best bang for buck.

As for whether someone with 3.2K salary should buy a 110K car, it all depends on the individual. 1.2K per month for loan is just the beginning... add up petrol+maintenance it'll almost reach half of the net income, and that's still not including stuff like food/entertainment/rent/pocket money for parents etc. At the end of the month, the amount entering the savings account should be at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the salary, ideally.

Never say that one has no commitments as that is ridiculous - in 9 years' time you'll probably end up getting married/buying a house/have kids/need to support family (both your kids and your retiring parents +/- siblings who might still be studying).

btw,

found article that VW already sign MOU with DRB to CKDed VW cars , but not mention which one...

Hope it will not disappoint us. I probably shift from japanese to german made in 3-4 years time. Talking about brand new car and not recond ones

Oh yeah, they should include jetta as well.
