Thanks, ordered it via Wearnes at Bangsar, not too sure how long the waiting list but expecting it in Oct

if you're used to e36 and alfa 146, you'll this golf is refined. hehe

how old are you? golf gti owners are not young because by the time they can afford it they are usually at least 30. golfR with 260hp should be the ultimate. no idea bout kW units

well you have good taste in cars. keep it up. yes it's better to test drive the polo as well later

thank you for the motortrader link. really useful. seems the supercharger do the work in the lower revs, the turbo do the work in the higher revs
and the cruising rpm at 7th gear is really low.
that red(tornado red is it?) seems neat. better than the other red

climacool - seems you really want for TT huh? haha. you got mk5 huh?

heh.. a few more years and I'll hit 40
still, spending more than RM100k on a car sounds kinda extreme at times...

im about 30 now. if i buy one fiesta. loan 5 years i be 36. Then i change to polo and loan again 5 years or less. i be 38... By the time i get a grab of the golf. i be 40... hahaha... but i was thinking of skipping the fiesta and go for the polo straight. Cause i feel the golf is a bit too expensive for its size. But then again 90% of the time i drive alone what the heck i want a big car for. no one sits at the back. Thats is why now i feel my 9 year old waja is a little too big. Sluggish, and fuel consuming.

So i was looking at fiesta seriously before it got launch. Then i went to go molest it the other day. finding the buttons plastic are not much better than any other japanese car. I regret to say this that the vios fit and finish is very much better than the fiesta. Although vios is just a transport that brings you to point a and b in a cheap way. Only suitable for people who couldn't care less and no passion about owning a car... don't mind me... its the way i think... honda is too expensive in every way. And Mazda is not very much better. So its down to keeping my old waja and get it repaired and use it for another good 5 to 6 years then i go all the way to VW dream land. But by then i be 5 to 6 years unhappy and missing the fun in my coming to midlife years.

actually not so bad , u may get to drive em if u go for test drive

not necessary must own a car to fulfill ur dream, sometimes its much more fun to drive around in friends car or join club member to share the joyfulness with them.

like that also not good because every 2 weeks go bug the salesman for a test drive and that wont last long they be pissed also. if you like it why dont buy it...

if u can afford it by all means go for it, poor a$$ like me have to drool of these cars and ask for a test drive

dont say you are poor,.,, one day when you grow up, you be able to buy the car you want, just make sure you make that money and enjoy the ride...Pity the poor salesperson lah.. he want to earn commission. You go disturb people, they also got family to feed mah. T

Nope
Just a gathering to share info and experinces mah...owned mk5 only can join ? other car cannot join meh...car-ist lol

They always welcome you to test drive their car although u dont buy. In the same time, they want to build up good customer relationship and expand their connection..I like to test drive car and share my experinces with my friends.
I already test drove Golf GTI (high spec from VW s'pore, not applicable in malaysia), Scirocco 2.0 and Passat CC.

So far, the number of the bookings for the Polo is still relatively low. No one around Msia interested in the car? Looks fantastic though, saw the manual version at Wearnes the other day. Seriously good looking!

How is VW aftersales service anyways?

they bloody better be class 1 excellent because you are paying a premium for the cars.

my cousin in law is complaining the bucket seats in front is too hard and the seats behind is too smal..zzz also the push is back breaking

Limited Service Centre and need at least 1 week in advance booking zzz...its too long. Sometimes we can predict what happen in the next day =.=

what about things like parts availability, technical know how and warranty issues?

fast to process or keep returning for the same thing

We have manual version for this upcoming polo? Really looking forward to have a look at the actual car and its size. Kinda tempted to own one...

No manual version, the manual version that they have is just to pass the Puspakom test only.

i just placed booking for the Golf 1.4 TSI... still undecided on the color... torn in between white or the dark blue color or even silver... white i'm afraid of stone chip and of coz tar marks.. dark blue not sure but makes the car looks even smaller ? which bank gav u the 3% ? Mine got fr RHB 3.1% le .. any other freebies they throw in ?

Welcome to the Volkswagen family
get dark blue...this color not bad. White color hard to maintain need to wash often.
Silver too common..

No freebies, got the loan from Affin bank.
