for a 1.4litre and 156k, this is i think one of the cars in the market which you pay the least import tax


anyways, for those who are contemplating

mind you, service costs is not that cheap
i have a vw on it's second year service now(service interval is 15k km)
30k km, the bill came close to about a thousand

15k km normal oil change is about RM500
then the next 15k km(30k km) come close to RM1k
next 15k km(45k km) IIRC it's about RM800
on the 60k km, the bill is RM2.6k
the 75k km one will be more, i dont know how much yet

total service costs for 4 years(assume you stick to the 15k km interval) is about RM5k, not inclusive of other stuffs such as wipers, tires and brake pads.
the total service and parts costs for my VW over the last two years came close to about RM500x3 +RM1k +RM350 =~ RM2.9k

oh, i service my car every 7.5k km, instead of 15k km

i can safely assume that your maintenance for this car will costs you about RM100-200/month

yes, but that's for the 1.4litre TSI used in the polo, golf's safe

for 100k km, should be about 8k-9k, i didnt bother asking about the price, cuz it will take me aeons to reach there, and by the 5th year, warranty habis, i'll service it outside already

you're wrong
for eg:
the Aisin 6speed auto used in certain VW's uses Aisin's own ATF, costs RM112/litre, overall replacement of ATF costs RM1.2k(include other parts also)
their own DSG fluid costs RM9x/litre, overall replacement costs? RM650

previously the TSI engine used in the older GTis burns engine oil to function well, a hard driven GTi requires 1litre of engine oil top up every 3k km or so(each litre costs RM68 and THAT cannot be purchased outside, it's a specially formulated castrol for VW cars, and if they found out that you uses non-castrol engine oil? *poof* goes your engine warranty )

new one im not very sure

DSG shifts fast and smooth, but which gear it will go still depends on the driver
with paddle shifter, you can control which gear you want to go to

no wonder you dont feel anything that is not right when i mentioned that why there arent any manual override function in Fiesta's dual clutch transmission

polo's rear seat is only meant for shorter distance, it's not spacious, but if you only fetch 1 person most of the time, you dont see much difference, apart from being more narrow

take in consideration of depreciation, parts availability, service costs as well
good thing about a vios is, most workshops out there can and know how to fix one
i cant say the same about VWs

upgrade to another VW

mechanical parts can be found from the SC
body parts yes it's hard to find

a pair of side mirror costs 1.4kRM IIRC

golf's tailight LED one pair 3.2k

yes, it's on display in the Wearne's service center in sungai besi

anyhow, the new Golf's accepting booking now, plenty of candy whites available

work harder, get the full fledge GTi.

serious

the first batch of Golf TSis are already on the road

very simple, if your car is problem free, you wouldnt open a thread saying how problem free your car is, amirite? because you expect the car to perform this way, however, when it starts to give you problem
you tend to look for the solution online by asking questions in the forum

and therefore you can only find problems in most car-specific forum
