I wonder how's the FC of the Polo.. Price is interesting..

but my guess is, 1.2L car for very close to RM110k.....

maybe its just me

Have been tested-drive the Golf before, the performance is fantastic, just the interior space is small.

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

U beat me to the punch  ....the polo should be compared to the jazz/i30/latio sport/pug 308 vti warm hatch class......for the price, the specs are great plus its a german car .....

yes it goes, is that mk5 or mk6 you testing? this 1.4TSI should have respectable performance too
i heard from the reviews that the polo offers luxury car refinement and good quality. we'll check that car later. still waiting for poloGTI though

lol. indeed the 1.6L from golf is just too slow for anything. needs smaller engine with the aided of turbo like this 1.4TSI.

the polo gti is 1.4 with twincharged, but produce more output (180PS 249Nm) compared to the golf 1.4 TSI (160PS 240Nm)
on a small car summore  the acceleration match a golf gti's time of 6.9secs

how do you think of the sport and comfort button on mk6?

erm, the paddle shifter is still controlled by the same transmission DSG, i don't really get you mean here 
it is useful if say i'm cruising on 6th gear, but want some overtaking power, i just press the downshift button and it goes to 5th gear immedietly.
up to you if you want the DSG to do all the work, but there are times when i need to control the gear manually.

Wondered when the GTI & Scirocco will get the 7 speed DSG. Now it seems this latest (dry type) 7 speed DSG is limited to torque up to 250nm

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

between pug 308 and the new polo, I'd say better do the test drive first. If possible back to back on the same morning. Then only you decide.

For me, no need test drive, I'll always choose VW, anytime

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

is the polo on display?

the new polo gti is worth every sen & RM
they're coming soon

if you aren't into moonroof but more to dsg and fc and stuffs like that, think you might be better off with a polo... yes it is smaller but 308 isn't that big either...
308 as a different kind of appeal larr... think the interior wise, 308 is still better than polo... i don't have the option like you had but for me, i am not a speeder (occasionally sure got wan larr) so interior quality has more appeal to me... so it is what rocks your boat bro...
but for a vw, don't think you can go wrong larr... anyway dsg also has its fair share of problems...
also 3.2k salary, probably better go for lesser priced car... not sure if you could get full 90% loan... good luck bro...

The 308 is significantly larger than the Polo.

The Polo is a typical B-segment but unlike the spacious Jazz it's pretty tiny inside. Think something along the lines of Mazda 2 and you're not far off.

As for money... For a gross RM3200 salary, it's advisable not to go for a 140K car. You'll spend the next decade paying through the roof.

CVT V-Tec/I-dsi. 

Ah can't wait to test drive the Golf 1.4TSI as well. Very tempted to place a booking now but would want to qualm my fears about the car and have a test drive on it.

Anyone else is interested in the car?

Yeah the Polo is nice as well but I sat in one before (not the new version) and I found it to be quite cramped (I am rather large ). I test drove the Golf GTI Mk6 several times already and I really love that car. Contemplating whether I should save up for the Mk6 instead of the 1.4

even the latest top gear mag's hot hatch tests section said that it didnt really live up to expectations...it does look really good though...but i'd rather get a mito if its in the 150k price range....if 130k...then its damn worth it....
