Congrats on the new ride! After driving it around, you will definitely see that it is a better choice in terms of drive quality over some of it's competitor!

Just sent in the car to Sierra Glow earlier, saw a red Mazda 2 that had undergone the treatment there. Looks absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see the results for the car when I get it back later biggrin.gif

In an unrelated note, fakkov! Hahaha. Be patient la, sent the car in just now only. Once I collect it later, I will snap the pics then post it up here. Nowadays all also no patience one hahahaha tongue.gif

But in your unrelated note, yes, those are the R LED tail lamps. Can be fit into the Mk6 GTI as well as the Mk6 TSI. I got a supplier if you are interested in modding yours if you want whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif

can any1 give me some opinions

MK5(used car) OR new Golf1.4 ?
*
Personally I have gone and tested out numerous 2nd hand Mk5 about and most of them at that time were either the 2005 models or 2007 models (WALD editions and none WALD edition). After a lot of consideration, I decided to go for the TSI mainly because

1) peace of mind, because it is a new car I know there is no previous owner who might have brought their car to the track and whacked up the insides of the car
2) The 5-year warranty program by VW
3) I prefer the looks of the Mk6 more than the Mk5 although a lot of people who own the Mk5 says that the Mk5 is the prettier one tongue.gif

Hmmm... The Golf Gti's that I've been seeing on the road all seem to be having the same tail lights as the Golf R while the Golf Tsi's with those roundish tail lights. Maybe those tail lights are stock for the Malaysian market?
*
No, Malaysian stock lights are all round red lights as shown in the images above. There are plenty of the Golf R LED lights available here so a lot of people have changed their rear lights for that. Problem is that you will void your warranty because of the change whistling.gif

guys, i just got myself a polo, was delivered to me last thursday from Cergaz Autohaus.

so far, im quite impressed with the engine, eventhought its 1.2, i can still smoke the much more powerful car than mine due to its pickup (tested @ Sg. Besi highway).

just wondering if anyone is going to establish a VW Polo club for Malaysia ?

anyway, regarding Sierra Glow, will it damage the paint for my Polo? I have no experience regarding this. hope someone can explain a bit to me...
*
Shouldn't create so many clubs about hehehe. Not too sure how many Polo or Polo owners out there as well. Maybe more after the new launch.

In regards to Sierra Glow, it basically is putting on a 5-micron sealant on your paint maintaining the shine of your paint for 5 years. Very good reviews about it from the Peugeot 308 club as well as the Forte club. Review coming soon once I get my car!

well i'v did the sierra glow thingy 1mth after taking my TSI. So far so good but it doesn't prevent the build up of watermarks.. Not sure whether SG suppose to prevent those or not ..coz i can c the watermarks esp on my bonnet. I remembered PPS will elimiate most of the watermarks each time u go for the rejuvenation session.
*
Actually watermarks will always be there whether you put SG or PPS. Both SG and PPS creates a thin protective layer on your original paint to preserve the shine. Watermarks will be on top of that layer so it will always be there. Difference I noticed between SG and PPS is that PPS requires you to go back for a rejuvenation session, each session costs around RM100+ or less but the average pricing is around there. SG says that you can use normal car shampoo to get back to the shine wink.gif

Probably Puspakom or JPJ also con them. Its a whole vicious cycle, gone through the same thing. Most of the time, JPJ or Puspakom will cause the delay.

I wanted to know whether to buy sciroco or beamer...but if i ask here...kinda bias since I know u would say sciroco.... tongue.gif

anyway...whats the the advantage of sciroco over bmw?

TQ
*
Honestly, its hard to give a comparison mainly because its two different type of cars. But if you are comparing both, based on price, I would assume you are looking at the 320i?

Here are some differences between the Roc and the BMW.
- Roc is CBU unit, BMW is CKD (go read some of the forumers comments here that the 320i has quite a bad built quality, I have a friend who sent in his BMW 320i three times because the components inside the car was vibrating like mad and making a lot of noise).
- Roc has more power output
- Roc is not as common as the BMW
- BMW still holds the prestige as a premium car, perception wise, it would appeal more to a larger group of people (e.g. parents/family won't say why la you buy a 2 door car)
- Roc's maintenance is cheaper compared to BMW
- Personally I think the Roc is better looking
- Roc has only two doors, very inconvenient
- Can't really fit more than a single golf bag unless you bring down the seats

how much the cost of the Golf 1.4 tsi after discounts and rebates u guys get it?

and..how long is the current generation lifespan of the car? smile.gif anyone mind to help?
*
The discounts depend on the dealer or sales agent you deal with. Some give free iPads, some give free 2 services and some give 1-2% discount.

Depend on lifespan of the car? You mean actual lifespan before the car just stops working or lifespan before a new model comes out?

I thought the Polo also comes with the RCD 310. Not too sure about that though.

Mavik.. Mind to share how much u got ur rcd510 and does it void the warranty?

UGPM biggrin.gif

Warranty, I consider that a gray area. Mainly because the RCD 510 is also a VW product.
