Go with the property man, seriously, cars are not appreciating assets. I definitely agree with what jwrx is saying here. Just save up enough for two down payments, one for the Golf and one for the property. Logic wise, one would target a property which can gain high rental yields (preferably one that can cover the loan repayments). That way, one asset is paying for itself while you can then save for the Golf (probably the Mk7 by then tongue.gif). In a way, you can then have your cake and eat it too without burdening yourself with too many loan repayments.

Thanks mavik.

Just curious guys, how much all of you earn monthly in order for you be able to afford this hot hatch. Must be over 10k?

yea the speakers are not that bad actually haha..
just put 1 monoblock + sub should be enough... if not mistaken there is amps powering the speaker thats why the sound quality is quite nice..

for me i dont think i'll change to 510 looks nice but not really neccesarry for me.. smile.gif
for that price i rather change full set APR turboback exhaust..

The stock audio in the Golf/Roc is definitely way better than the ones fitted in the Camry/Accord 2.4. I find even the Bose system fitted in my friend's Mazda 6 is not as nice as ours, which was a surprise to me. The Mark Levinson audio installed in the higher end Lexus are awesome though thumbup.gif The RNS or RCD will definitely make the dashboard look more upmarket though. Still deciding la. Tomorrow, I will be installing the rear LED lights together with my friend. How much is the APR set bro?

I'm quite keen in APR too but not so soon. Wanna enjoy my car in stock performance for few months first! I was quoted 2.5k for the R lights with installation and 1 year warranty. Have you checked around?

Thanks for your advice friend, Yeah i was thinking about investing in a prop too but im a human, cant help but to envy those lucky fellas driving Golf. Such a nice, sleek and powerful car.

My plan is to save until early next year for Golf downpayment, about 10% or more. Havent decided yet. If i didnt buy golf i would throw all my money in a property somewhere in Seremban 2 perhaps, that's part of the plan too.

As you said, we only live once so why dont try and feel the nicest things right. So i'm trying very hard to come out with a logic to get Golf instead of a house end of this year or next year.

BTW im single and doesnt have much commitment.

jwrx and Mavik speak the same language with me.. if you are not familiar with property and try to understand the property scenario now in msia, you will get a knee jerk..

I am in my late 20's and most of my frens regretted did not go into prop market earlier on, but spending on new cars (not to say their old car kenot use), gadgets, and expensive holidays.. some just bought hav to force themselves committing more than 50% of their salary into installment, some dun even have $$ for initial cost and downpayment and some cant even find an affordable house within their price range and preferred location....

I started my 1st prop at 25 den 27 den 29.. despite having these, buying a new car is still far from attainable to me as I prefer to have solid financial foundation first and my faithful 7 yr old car is still running strong...

Although I dun own a VW but I am still abit kacau in FnF (paiseh paiseh tongue.gif) and me too admire those who are driving around, smoking ppl with their ride... I am still passionate to get an European car probably few years down the road.. nod.gif

Dont worry... Golf price wont increase as fast as property price.. few years down the road, who knows new Golf price might be still the same but property sure increase like sky high...

Yeah, though i didnt really like the hissing sound, i love it when the "vroom" sound kicks in. That sound is music to my ears  rclxms.gif . Speaking of radio, I actually find the sound of the stock audio not too bad, just that the low end bass not deep enough. Perhaps a sub might help. I am very tempted to get RNS but not sure if the money will be well spent as honestly, I wont use the GPS very often. Still in dilemma about this  hmm.gif

Then get the RCD 510. I find that it really perks up the interior of the car.

mate..i am also checking out the focus 2.0...which even did you get the diesel (tdci) or petrol?
where did you got yours, i mean the branch..108k after discount is a good deal indeed...i know the tdci is better performance car, but diesel lor...is that ok? more noise rite? how about your hatch NVH?

how about the sedan version, is it good?

Thanks,
KV

I believe his focus is the petrol version.. there's currently 2 promotions running for the focus TDCi which is RM 128k OTR

1. 0.88% interest for 5 years

OR

2. RM7000 discount but with normal interest rate ( Should be ~ 2.6% but bank told me next week gonna revise to 2.8% doh.gif )

The promotions are valid till the end of this month.

As for focus TDCi, it handles really well, way better than any Jap competitors( have not driven the Mazda 3, only driven Altis, Civic & Sylphy ) + very good NVH, diesel clatter can hear from outside but once u are driving the noise is gone thumbup.gif ... not to mention the superb fuel consumption of the diesel+amazing overtaking power drool.gif

The TSI has better quality interior, more tech, better engine etc

I support jwrx, got my RCD510 installed by him on Thursday too. LED lights are OEM so why spend extra money for the same thing?

bro, i am not a fan of diesel..so that is a negative from me..how about the 2.0 petrol version, both the hatchback n sedan version...is the car good? in terms of pick up, speed, performance, comfort? i am sure the space should be bigger than the golf tsi...

Thanks,
