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.....

i talked to SA in TTDI Cergaz about RNS510, he said not going to void the warranty.. that is nice
once i decide to install RNS510, i will try to get a written confirmation from TTDI on this...so no argument in the future when it comes to claim.

BTW, anyone interested to join the TT this Friday?

u need the VW msia/sg map disc, which i have but it cost me rm2k when i got it 2 years ago. i dont recommend the RNS because

- the maps are very outdated (late 2007)
- majority of RNS come from very dodgy sources
- the navi software is ancient and not very intuitive
- too many diffrent firmware versions, which affects GPS accuracy, unless its firmware 26xx, other versions can be as much as 500m off
-unlike the RCD510 which 99% of the time is p&p, u will have to code the RNS for sure..thers better things to buy for your car then the RNS
- i had my RNS for about 6 months, then decided i didnt need it...sold it and got a RCD instead

there have been many updates and firmware updates for the RNS, the issue is that you can never know what version you are getting until u open the parcel. Also, the RNS hardrive is susceptible to damage during the long journey to msia (most units come from europe). firmware updates doesnt matter to the RCD..cos its essentially just a CDplayer, but it affects the navi function for RNS

Anyway...ppl who belum cuba, belum tau, so will always want "the best' for thier car, based on internet research. im just speaking from xp, and the fact that i have brought in quite a few RNS, my 2 sen is to get a RCD and a garmin OR find someone with a actual RNS and play around with it to see if its what u really need/want

if u must have a GPS integrated HU, then u can look at the kenwood DNX which will fit VW cars
