haven't collected car already open WTS thread to sell off rim + tyres

can you elaborate more on roof sound insulation while raining?
i know the roof sound insulation in honda(any model from year 2005 onwards) is really bad.. like milo tin sounds.
for eg: the honda city preview gen , the roof sound insulation is really bad. it giv me the feeling there is no sound absorber in the roof(perhaps cut cost from where normal consumer cant see easily). The roof sound insulation is worse than Honda civic in year 1997.

so how bad is the sound insulation for golf?

Not so bad la...if heavily rain of coz u can hear it.
do not hesitate, call for test drive....the answer is there

haha... think probably hav to wait for the polo to be launched then probably the polo ppl will grab my 16" rims..hehe...
Shop taking in ard rm1500-1800 depending ..

not sure about the roof, but sound insulation overall for MK6 golf are superb from reviews i've watched and read. better than mk5. go test drive the car you'll know how quiet the car is. not to mention the low rpms at cruising speeds.

yeah, for now other than Mk5 1.6fsi users there's nobody seems to be looking on 16" VW rims

Wasn't implying it has bad sound insulation, comment was made very very early...barely 30 minutes of ownership and the rain was very heavy yesterday.

I just made that comment based of my expectations reading so many Golf Mk VI review that emphasize so much on noise reduction. coming from general proton, T & H I expect it to be
total silence. Haven't had much experience in luxury car ( only tumpang couple of times on BMW,Merc even Cayenne but never really thought about noise then).

That being said it's one superb car went again last night for 'test drive' till late night just to feel power and pickup which I never really got to test properly before !

not planning to upgrade ur rims ? hehe poison .. poison ...
wonder those with moonroof .. whenver it rains will it b louder than usual roof ?

Dunno yet, just glancing through website looking at pics without really serious intention to buy unless got a very good deal.

Roof insulation can be solved easily. Let me know if you want contacts on solving it.

Umm... when I test drove it the sound insulation was considered below par. from what I gather the GTi should more or less be the same but just that the GTi has a got a different sound (which would be the engine - exhaust) to listen to compared to TSi (which engine - exhaust is pretty much silent therefore you hear a lot of other 'sound' / noise).

Come to think of it, I can't recall hearing heavy rain noises in other cars (Alfas, BMWs) I've driven before either Guess, its not something people often pay attention to because when it's raining heavily, its usually very noisy

I wonder if people would be buying the head unit with the built in GPS I saw some folks selling in the VW Golf forums. Looks pretty cool but its extremely pricey for it.

If too noisy, blast your radio only hahaha. But to me, nothing is noisier than my old Honda Civic. That car is like deafening....

Hahaha...true also~ Just turn it loud.
Golf's audio system not bad...
The GPS that u mean built-in with touch screen ?

really ar .. ppl selling ? i think must b the one in the scirocco's .. looks gd actually .. any links to the forum ? and how much they selling ?
my car tak jadi keluar today .. postpone 2molo only coz jpj there slow.. tak sempat register.

the Scirocco comes with a working GPS head unit?! that's awesome.. I rarely see any cars with built-in head unit with GPS here in Malaysia...

gps i'm not too sure .. but i saw it's full headunit lah ... so i'm just assuming that's the one... but correct me if i'm wrong

Actually there are 2 different types of head units for 2 different Sciroccos:

Scirocco 2.0 comes with the RCD 510 touch screen which doesn't come with the GPS navigation. Only the RNS versions has navigation.


Scirocco 1.4 comes with the RCD 310 monochrome screen.

Here you go mate, its not cheap!

RNS510 SGD1700

WOW !!!!!! SGD 1700 !!!!! Not cheap but very expensive !!!!
u bought it ?

thanks for the info Mike... from that I gathered that Malaysia is so backwards that we don't have any cars with built-in GPS yet.

the question would be... does it even work?

just wondering why a lot of cars that have built-in GPS overseas, when they're brought here.. it's all stripped out

congratz bro... mine's still stuck in kastam
