To those who booked their TSI or GTI, is there any discounts offered?
Also the interest rate for the loan. I was told that it is around 2.6% and only 2010 GTI has the 0.5% interest rate for the first 3 years.

Tested the Golf GTI today, the experience of driving that machine just got stucked in my head since afternoon. What a machine...
I don't know about other people but for me, so far this is the best car I've ever driven.
It started off with the S mode, which I've mistakenly shifted and I didn't realize until the SA told me. I stepped on the pedal and it went all the way so fast, and it was seriously exciting.
I'm just not used to the brakes, a bit too sensitive for me. Other than that, it is awesome.
Got an offer for more than 10k discount and interest rate is around 2.6%. I'm not sure the other offer which have much lower interest, 0.5% and lesser discount.
Initially was keen on the TSI but after tested the GTI, I almost forgotten about the TSI, as if it never existed. LOL!

Yea, I agree that it is kinda overpriced.
But overall it is worth the price, also the resale value is kinda good.
Somehow, I'm still considering, TSI or GTI? Hmmm...
But... GTI is poisoning!! arghh!

Guys, any idea how much would a MK6 GTI front/rear bumpers and skirts cost?

I'm also considering between GTI and TSI.
But I guess I wont be booking so soon until my current car gets a firm deal.

Not sure man, gotta do some calculations.
I've driven both TSI and GTI too. GTI is not only powerful but it also looks cool in every angle.
On the other hand, TSI looks a bit too auntie-ish. TSI to GTI conversion in terms of outlook, it's still better to have the real thing.

Congrats man
I'm booking my GTI soon too. Probably getting the 2010 stock.
Wondering if there's any candy whites left.
The other day my friend told me there's only 1 left. Hopefully it's still available.
BTW, mind sharing when will the 2011 stock coming in? Heard there's still no ETA yet.
My friend too didn't dare to confirm, in case his customers are blaming him for giving any empty promises.

I'm not sure about the 0.5% interest rate but for sure it's only applicable for 3 years of loan.
From what i know, LED tail lights are only available for Adidas version of GTI and Golf R.
Other than that should be just normal tail lights.
Most probably the 2011 model of GTI comes with DRL just like the TSI but it is still not confirmed.

Haha! Yeah, veemer's sc really gives me the cheapish feel and it's really small.
I think my friend's workshop near my place has more space than that sc.
I wonder if it's just a temporary place for them to service vw cars.

BTW, I'm just wondering how's the GTI fc like?
I'm curious as vw claimed that it is really good in fuel efficiency.
Anyways, I don't think I'll get to resist to tekan on the pedal when I get my car.

Yea, what I meant was the normal fc of an average driver would drive.
My current car's fc kinda sucks too even I drive properly like cruising 120km/h on highway all the way to SG from KL.

Guys, Does the current Gti comes with static and dynamic cornering light?

Does the current Gti comes with static and dynamic cornering light just like the one on TSI?
Anyone?

Because VW also knows that the 16" on the TSI looks fugly, that why in their brochure they show you the 18" rims.
Even GTI's brochure shows the car with 18" Detroit instead of the 17" Denvers.
But still, GTI only comes with 17" Denvers.
In some other countries they have different specs for all models, so you can choose what you want.
Here you can only choose between GTI and TSI.

Dude, whats wrong with Golf's ICE? Didn't test on the TSI's ICE but GTI's ICE sounds OK to me.
But to my understanding, TSI's and GTI's ICE is same

BTW, high rev NA engines like Type R's has bad FC. At least FD2R has better FC than the old B series VTECs.

Drive your car down to SG and install right away after COD. Confirm wont kena tax

It should be when if u're driving through custom.
Usually they wont bother to check. (M'sia custom) At least for me, they didn't even wanna look at me
Try not to catch their attention with ur fancy ride, loud exhaust and all the other ah beng's stuff.

futobuta,
You should really consider to sell off ur GTI and get a Polo instead =)

For that price range, Audi A4 1.8T is an option too. In fact, it's slightly cheaper.
Although spec wise the Passat CC is better, remapping the A4 could make it better than Passat CC
Plus, A4 makes you look younger too

Seriously, I've tested GTI twice and I don't feel any differences between the 3 modes. lol!
Maybe I'll try on bumpier road when I get my car.
Roads here near my place really macam rally.

Am planning to let go my Denvers and get 18" Detroit too. Any more jalan?

There's no such thing with stick shift and paddle shift.
GTI is only available in DSG auto with Paddle Shifters in Malaysia.

defnose,
If u're keen to get GTI u can PM me. I have friend working in VW, i just booked 1.

If u can afford a GTI and don't like it becoz of it's DSG auto transmission u can always go for something like the Mazda 3 MPS but unfortunately there is no test drives available.
MPS is a good car but it's not much practical to me since it's only available in Manual tranny.
Otherwise go for Evo or Impreza
