Nope I don't mind 2 doors - I actually have a BMW E38 728i that I am currently using as my daily driver. The issue is that I work in the city and I find that its a little too large for daily city driving. So I'm thinking of using the beemer as sort of a weekend/outstation/need to pick up people car whilst I get a daily driver that I can have a bit of fun with when I want to ie Scirocco 1.4 TSI or possibly the Golf GTI mrk 6.

My dilemma is that in view of the above - should I go the for the Scirocco 1.4 TSI or bite the bullet and for another Rm20k more go for the Golf GTI.

I have test driven the Rocco but they don't have a GTI to test drive as the SA told me that the GTI test car had been sold. I really like the looks of the Scirocco  but I'm intrigue to see what the performance difference is like compared to the GTI

I think you will enjoy your test drive Make sure if that you have a chance, to floor it in sports mode:) Very poisoning:)

If this pulls through soon it will definitely make my decision alot more straight forward:) Fingers crossed

tomorrow i'm doing the Sierra Glow at Summit with Mr. Chong. next i'm gonna get the brake caliper painted red  ... then getting bodykit for the TSI... looks to manja already .. need a bit more garang feel esp the front bumper and possibly getting it fitted with twin-pipes. Then a small fin like the Rocco. ECU would be last i think ... still quite happy with the power n balance of FC.

Guys, Im here to learn english! How to pronounce "Scirocco"??

saw the white polo in autoshow juru...

look dummy... small rim, small car wif big headlamp...
rm113k otr for sure is not a good buy for me...

I think so Mike I have to crunch the numbers now to see whether I can afford it

Also thinking of what colour I should get it in - I'm sort of torn between candy white and carbon steel grey

You have a point bro - though I think remapping it to stage 1 will void the warranty unless there is an official tie up between VW and the tuners.

My dilemma was choosing between the Scirocco 1.4 TSI and the Golf GTI where there is RM20k difference.

I personally think that the Scirocco is much better looking car - that being said driving enjoyment is also very important to me and the Golf GTI looks pretty decent as well.

Wonder i should be buying Inspira for myself first or VW Polo for my wife first... Anyone can help me decide?

Thanks in advance~

damn near myr190k for a 1.4 2-door is a lot! maybe that's why i barely see them on the road. i think we'll see more 2.0TSI roccos on the road than we will 1.4s.

I tested both the Golf and Scirocco 1.4.. I'd say Golf is more practical but Scirocco looks more sporty. Too bad the Scirocco is selling so expensive compared to the Golf.. in the end I opted for a BMW Z4 since performance and looks it beats the Scirocco.

Yeah lor.. stock low... So I'm getting it ASAP... if wait for 2011 car... maybe have to wait till March.

Where can i upgrade the ICE to RNS 510, the interrior and the bodykits?

I wonder if im the first MK6 owner who just lost the car on last Wednesday..they just towed out from my condo using Toyota Wish..damn stupid security!!!! does anyone experienced same thing? my mk6 only 4 months old...

Sorry to hear about that bro...so far i know 3 mk6 have been stolen so far including yours  Cry. 2 hijacked at nite at petrol station. One of them was only a day old when hijacked

Not quite yet, but currently favors polo over inspira.... interested to know how much to add the tuning, accessories etc before decide.. if too much, then will reconsider... =D

uh, i hear a regular service should be in the ballpark of rm500-rm700. so an ipad costs about rm20k?

I think I cannot tahan liao... might go and ask him to change it for me from Carbon Steel Grey to Candy White..... what do u think?

Yeah.. that's what I heard too.... maybe we can go to some other place for servicing.

Izzit? Golf GTi very hot on the theft list ah? I thought cars like Camry, Hilux hotter. No need to install all those lah... if they wanna take your car..... u put what also no use, they'll just carjack it from u.

Let me know if you managed to get it done as well. Would love to see the results

Kinda liking the fabric seats at the moment though 

Really BMW better ah? Got so many negative remarks from people around me..... such as it being too common on Malaysian roads.

Should have just stuck to leather for a premium brand. I don't see any Audis or Beemers with fabric options, do you? The cost of changing to aftermarket leather seats is around RM2k+, if it's installed at the factory during assembly the cost is much lower.

Just thought I'd share my Fiesta and Polo experience...

I test drove the Fiesta first.....It was nice, awesome specs on paper but to be honest the drive was nothing to shout about...fun and of course not underpowered in anyway...nice for an NA...has biggish rims and a pretty low stance..looks good...interior admittedly abit plasticky for me...the dots on the seats abit funky for my taste..haha..I liked it but in all honesty my mind was not blown...

Next I tried the Polo...I thought the interior while extremely simple was very classy and nice!!...I do wish it had at least USB input for the HU...features on paper really nothing to shout about..especially for rm110k! Rims were nothing like the ones we've been seeing on the Ads but acceptable to me.. But the drive, oh my gosh the drive...I loved every second of it...to me it felt like a continental car, (the fiesta felt in between a Jap and Conti I suppose) for some reason reminded me of a 320i. There is a HUGE difference in the acceleration compared to the fiesta..so so much more responsive and just pulls ahead...the DSG feels so much better to me too.....I had a grin on my face the whole time and it just felt right to me despite being so basic in features! ...I see everyone saying that the car is really small..it really isn't that badla..very comparable to my vios, except for a smaller boot of course...I sat both in the drivers seat and as a passenger...sufficient legroom..the fiesta was very acceptable (to me) as well....

At the end of the day, it is a B segment car and meant to be fun...if you really need the space and comfort there are much better choices out there..but if you are looking for something fun like me, you really have to give it a go.....

tried a full tank of petronas R97 on my 1.4 and.... bluekkk! bloody sluggish performance. so far shell R97 seemed to be giving sluttier performance    going to give caltex a try next. anybody else with experience on bp or esso?

Ya, need RM10k.
Car alone will be RM3500 monthly (incld fuel, wear and tear)
House another 3.5k atleast, already 7k spent.

RON97 going up another 15sen... ouch...

Hmm what happened to that guy who asked about the polo chip module? is anyone else interested in it? This is regards to the polo 1.2 TSI.

VAGSG members have already got it. However they have not replied to my query yet on it. Thinking of getting it straight from the manufacturers in Holland.  Stage 1 bump. VAGSG member tested it on dyno and recorded 132 Ps. Stock on brochure rated in at 105 but it has been shown to produce up to 120 actual...

So this module actually functions more for power band and fuel efficiency with a little bump of about 12 Ps : ) whoever is interested please discuss here thx..

BTW this is plug and play so no warranty issues

Hey guys, I've just completed my first 1k km. Should I change my engine oil before I start really revving my engine?

urrm..

it does 90% of what the 2.0 can do at 60k cheaper 

just passed 2k mark, engine is still very tight, so the mileage is not what im expecting yet, now about 10l/100km which is slightly better then my mk5 gti

- its fast and zippy, and hitting 140kph on highways is not a problem, my normal cruising speed is 140ish, so i dont really push it more then that, im not a speed junkie on public roads
- with the 1.4, i find that you have to use the paddle shifts, and dropping down 2 gears b4 overtaking or changing gears is a must if you dont want to get bogged down, one reason is because 7th gear is REALLY high. With my previous mk5, i could be lazy and just use the accelerator to kick down, it had enough power for any situations. But with the 1.4, you have to pay more attention to which gear you are in and the rpm
- Under heavy braking, the Roc suffers from the same tail happy characteristics as the golf, it just wants to break loose as the rear feels unsettled
- The stock michelin's it comes with is pretty crap, i can wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gear coming out from junctions, going to have to install the stiffer lower arms later and change to better tires
- the only complaint i have so far is that the 7speed seems to get confused with jalan maarof hill....twice it has lost power while on the hill, had to pull handbrake...never had that problem with my Golf...the hill hold function doesnt work as well as my mk5 version

2% is more then i got...but we are now in december and all dealers are trying to clear thier 2010 stocks, so buying either this month or before march, would get you the best deals. March the 2011 models are coming in,...you can bet there will be no discount for the '11 models

I will be changing my oil at 5-6k km, then going in for the scheduled service at 15k. for all new owners of VW...make it a habit to check your oil levels at least once every 2 weeks...in the morning b4 u go work

like the posters in that thread mentioned...if they wanted power, they wouldnt have bought a 320, on paper even the 1.4 roc is only 0.2 sec slower then the 325

Yeah I heard due to the aerodynamics of the car, water will push out from the back diffuser and therefore the part will be very fast dirty after rain.
May I know is it MK5 or MK6?
Damn...knifepoint..that's scary.
