Yup that is correct, just check the 11th figure in your code on your car and you can determine the location where it is built.

Golf = Wolfsburg Germany
Polo = South Afria
Scirocco = Portugal
*
To be precise ..check the 11th figure of the VIN code. W= Germany U=S.Africa and Y=Spain

got a question : if ask you to choose between Michelin Primacy HP vs Bridgestone Potenza RE050... which will u go for ?
thikin shud i swap out my golf 050 with the rocco's michelin ...
*
Well..RE050 is performance tyre lo. Fantastic grip but wear life is short, i think its like 160. Since your rocco is "performance" car yeah put the RE050 on it. Primacy HP more for confort leh.

Cannot lah.... fatboy like myself cannot fit into the polo comfortably. Now I fit snugly onto the GTi's leather seat. Damn syiok! wink.gif  No chicks also nevermind lah. Even if the polo attracts chicks, they'll run away as soon as i open the window and show my face!

1 thing i notice abt the polo.. WHY NO TEMP GAUGE!?? this i the 1st car i encounter without 1.. some more is turbo car, engine should be hotter.. dont know which engineer brilliant idea was that to remove it or VW want to save money... wth.

MAzda 3 also dont have temp gauge. I think most manufacturers think its redundunt at this era with all the high tech engine management... tongue.gif

issit ?? dint notice about the leg room. Where you get this info from ? thanks for sharing.
Same... 90% of my current 6 years car i drive alone. 9% with gf and 1% fetch ppl behind. =P

Yeah... look's a like burberry car seat =P  Eh ..  VW & Audi all interior or simple but class and quality build.
Just make sure get right wash clothes & good shampoo. U can google the steps as well as right time & place. Would be more hard to taking care of the car paint if you car is black  tongue.gif

Leg room not big issue since u will be buzzy burning tyres lo... hahaa..yes the tartan upholstery is very nice..kinda like a road worrier ala braveheart. As for washing, ahaha I just let my maid wash with normal car wash and vacuum.

None taken, the sound system is not too bad. Better than my previous cars (Vios & Civic) coz it has more speakers and better clarity. But that is my own personal opinion only. I have set in other cars which offer better systems especially in my friend's car who are real ICE addicts! Also that is why a lot of people opt for the Dynaudio system which VW offers in other countries! Sadly Malaysia takde


Added on March 31, 2011, 5:42 pmFor those of you who are gunning for the Polo GTI, here are some facts for you all to be happy about biggrin.gif

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/j...icle7147869.ece
http://www.fastestlaps.com/cars/vw_polo_gti_14_tsi.html

Only thing is that we can't get the stated bhp on paper as those are usually rated with Ron98 petrol (same for the rest of the other VW marques here as well).
*
Dyna ade...get from scrapped Passat CC la...yalor..me sit in Lexus with Mark Levinsons.... sweat.gif . I love Dyna audios...since me Hi-Fi kaki...always feel that only pure Hi-Fi brands can deliver top SQ, Just wish that Naim will introduce car Hi-Fi for the masses (not only for Bentley). rclxms.gif

So far as I know from the forum..yes VW very sticky with warranty. But depends on SC, if Sc can kau tim for or not.

Yeah you can opt for the Mazda 3 MPS which gives you 255bhp and a manual transmission. Or you can also opt for the Renault Megane RS


Added on April 5, 2011, 2:51 pmCheck out how the Golf's are manufactured wink.gif

Renault Megane RS Cup FTW!!!!!!!!

Just too bad its over priced in Malaysia...

too close to 1.4tsi, i estimate around 215k...slightly more then GTI but less then the CC
*
I think 215k for the normal passat is too high.Reason i say so is because the gap between the E class and the CLS is huge. Hence the diff between PAssat and the CC should be about 20%-i.e 50k. I speculate it will be about 200k++. But then again....I might be so wrong!! tongue.gif

I refuse to answer that because of the dangers involved (she might read this thread accidentally).

However, I have figured out a way to do this ...

I'm due to replace her glasses with a new pair soon. So what I'll do is time this in such a way so that she gets her new glasses at the same time I replace the rims with the new "bling" ones. I will then claim that the rims were always that shiny ... she never noticed it before because her old glasses not enough power.

Fingers crossed, she will believe my bullshit whistling.gif

if i remember correctly it was around 315k...cant remember it was so long ago.

cos i have many frens in the grey import biz, and the margins arnt as super as ppl think...by the time u pay taxes, storage, shipping, AP (can be up to 35k) theres not that much left, especially if u picked the wrong model/colour and it sits in your yard depreciating. the real winners are the AP holders, damn leeches, even the gov only earns rm10k per AP starting from this year

VW has been saying it will bring in the R models for more then a year, still no definite price and ETA...but even if they do bring it in, i think it will be around the high 200's mark as well

wasnt refering to u btw wira..
*
If my memory serves me right..I think it was around 288k. I remember cause I saw it a a VW car exhibition at Bangsar. Many many many moons ago though

I think its is because the +2 year is actually underwritten by Allianz Insurance. VW will honour thge 3 years warranty..but Allianz wont if there is a stage 1 remap.

Want to MOD heck the warranty. smile.gif
