at first that was a problem for me too, no electric seats but then i spoke to my client who drives a 5-series and he says that electric seats are overrated.

Pros
- cool and you get to store all your seat settings
- better adjustment capabilities

Cons
- when it breaks down it is costly to repair
- if you get into an accident and the car battery is cut off, you can't move the seat. A case where firemen had to use tools to free my client after he got into a major accident

There is a promo interest rate as low as 1.38% for volkswagen car this month!..

But I think that is for loan of 3 years I guess..

Oh is it?.. Sorry didn't notice that... I guess VW is trying to dump all the beetles.. personally I don't find any single thing that I like with the beetle. Hope there is new much improved (with TSI engine perhaps) beetle coming soon.

Could it be that they are going to release a new VW Beetle hence they are trying to get rid of the current existing stock?     

Dear VIP customer, VW will be launching POLO 1.2 and the SCIROCCO 1.4. This coming 9th OCT 2010. We look forward to your presence to view and to test drive the units on 9th OCT 2010. THANK YOU.

well i took the polo in 222 for a spin today... the red one. First impression. very nice looking car from outside. Driver side interior looks the same as golf. when looking at the aircond knob. Ai ya... manual leh.. put off liau... then no traction control. and very very basic. Fit and finish not as nice as golf from germany. But very much better than Japanese cars. Space. very very cramp. feels like sitting in a kancil or myvi. Back sit. seriously not comfortable. Driver seat ok. So comfort i feel very very poor. Boot space., seriously small. very very small, not joking go see yourself.
Engine... small but seriously powerful. dont look at 1.2cc ah... it flies very very well. A bit of a lag under 2k rpm. but after that it just goes. DSG nothing to say lah same like golf. only without paddle shits.

But in the end went to lancer next door. sat in the EX,,, the seat feels so much more comfortable than the polo. And size so much bigger.. now the question is. is it worth to pay for the engine and gear box while sacrificing all the comfort and space? Polo or VW seriously know how to make a very very good engine and gearbox. At 110k i think i have to review my choices.

To axel. have you taken the polo for a spin. My backs not feeling very comfortable you know. just a mere 15 min drive around.

fiesta got test vehicle already ?

i think in UK the price of roc is cheaper than golf, provided the same engine
here they charged extra rm30k throwing out two doors 

Yeah it's one of the major drawback, its back row space is even smaller than my Vios.. I think it's hard to squeeze in 3 peoples at the back

Is there any non-SC for VW outsides?

yesterday i was crusing at 160km/h. suddenly a car from behind with HID use high beam to signal me. Sweat, it was a white volkwagen golf TSI. i recognise it is a TSI version due to the rear lamp. GTI type MK6 is diff. this car was running about 200km/h and overtake car like zigzag way. pretty cool.

No lah.... expecting to start a small family soon, so thought a small suv would be more suitable. Something like the Tiguan or XC60.

Jus wondering is there any special thread for polo owners?feel really small here wit all the rocs and golf owners...

Ive been monitoring my fc for quite sometime now but cant get the fc advertised in the brochure. I dunno why.

The bes i can get for city driving around 13km/l and highway 15km/l using ron95. Any comments??
