Well, after 2-3weeks.... it will collect dust n dirt like my other rides....

After seeing all the posts from bro,
I decided to give the Sa a call to check the car status.
One thing I may think of for the delay is the sultan birthday on Monday:(

pm me the price oso bro ..

do we need sound proof-ing for vw?
autofoam n the like?

Wah.... the car is just so eager to go. I am just so tempted to floor it, but like most people adviced, I am keeping it below 4k rpm and below 120kph for now. Plan to send it for servicing and oil change at 5000km.

hi Futobuta,

i saw some advice to keep below 4K rpm and below 120kph, but when will be the right time to floor it? after 5k? after 1st VW service for 15K? i get to knew that the engine is run in, but not the gsd gearbox......i dont wish to miss the break in for the 1.2 tsi engine. please advice..
cheers!!

If you're thinking at all about performance, the 320i sucks big time. It's better as a manual but with an auto, the 320i fails. The VW is far more responsive and satisfying if you can live with a 2-door car.

futobuta, how does the Carbon Steel Grey color looks like real life?
I hardly spotted it on the road, mostly are Black or White.

Looks something like this lor.......

Haha, it is okay. I will head over to the showroom to see it for myself. Thanks.

good luck wit the fragile dsg gearbox, my fren golf gti gearbox got problem within 2 months, another fren of mine is lucky only got problem after 2 yrs

Wow nice color and car you got there,its always my dream car...hmm how much you bought yours? any discount from SA or promotion?

Nothing to shout about lah... it is a poor man's performance car. I got no money to buy GT-R mah... and I don't like recon stuff. So have to settle for the GTi lor. Not much discount.... 1k and 2 free service only.

i believe every car vendor have their own problem. even toyota and honda as well.
i do hear some of the dsg gear box issue in singapore, as long is under warrenty (5 years) , i still can live with it.
end of the day, choose the car you like, dont choose car base on resell value, cheap parts, easy maintenance , etc etc.. is you who drive the car, not the car drive you.
cheers!!

Eh at least you got the GTI mah, those of us here with the Golf TSI and Polo only, how leh

Added on November 25, 2010, 3:33 pmThanks for the good luck! Everytime I am always praying that there will be no DSG problems as well. Thank God that we also have the 5-year warranty so that removes some of the worry. All this while I have bad luck with gearboxes hehehe.

Since from my dad's old Wira 1.6, to my old Toyota Vios and my last Honda Civic. All also had problems with gearbox! The only car which I drove which didn't have the gearbox problem was my old Kembara but because that was a MANUAL. LOL, I am a gearbox jinx

I pening, went to Glenmarie FA and asked whether if i installed any Anti-Hijack system such as clifford, kobra etc will it void my warranty.. they say, will void all electrical warranty.. for e.g. if ur wiper suddenly decided not to function .. no more warranty .. *sigh*. saw the ABT package.. wow .. rm37k

nobody soundproof their car?

U wanna soundproof what sound?! the engine? no need lah.... waste money, go change headunit better.

To be honest, I did Autofoam for my Civic last time mainly because it really needed it. For the Golf, I can safely say it doesn't need any soundproofing. Go take a ride in the Golf and you will hear the difference.

Yeah.... it's not too noisy that u'll need soundproofing.
