both also have serious after sales issue... so nothing to campare for after sales service..

c200 kompressor how many hp wor? less than golf gti 200hp right? besides that merc got lousy auto box le.

type-R also 200hp right? but unless the driver is good and can shift fast, its gonna lose to a golf gti.

Added on February 27, 2011, 8:59 pmand also type-R with its vtek has no torque at all. gotta rev the shit out of it. i dont understand whats the thrill in it to see the vtec light come on.

golf gti got max torque already at 2k rpm and above. u can feel the surge.

Hi guys.

Do you think this is a good buy?

Click here

The only thing I'm worried about is the modifications done to it

with the modifications done to it, i dont understand why is it so cheap.
the car is quite new also.
must be a catch there. maybe u can go to the official vw service centre and ask them to check on the car.

I think it's cheap because VW was selling the Polo GTi for only RM99k just a year or 2 ago...?

And the Mazda 3 MPS will tapau all.....

you need to compare mazda3 mps with golf R no? peanuts with peanuts, cashew with cashew?

mazda mps 3 vs vw golf gti mk 6.

raw performance in your face car, mazda mps 3

refined,balanced and practical car, golf gti

TS, i would say go for the peugeot 308 turbo if you are not really in to driving aggressively always.

peugeot 308 interior is way better. the updated 308 turbo also has the new 6speed auto box. would help in consumption.

if you really can wait. i heard polo gti is coming to town..in the region of 140k.

Let me repeat, never ever go to a Naza workshop, there are others that are much more experienced and much more trustworthy plus they're still part of the Naza network so they can do official work and warranty repairs too.

- KL Volcare
- Kheng Soon
- Geot Auto

I owned a Peugeot for 3+ years and never went to a single Naza workshop.

I understand people's reluctance to buy Peugeot, I was too before I went ahead and got one but I'm surprised that everyone in Malaysia seems to think that VW is reliable. When I was in the US VW cars were considered to be the most unreliable German brand despite their cool marketing and very nice performing cars.

They were comparing the GTi with 325i Sports, hardly peanuts. Anyway the Mazda MPS only cost RM 175K with 260 hp and 380 Nm. Its only has manual version though.

Both the PUG 308THP and Polo 1.2 are hot hatches

I just tested the Polo and I say get this if you:
- drive this car alone or fetch minimal people
- wanna save a bit more fuel
- wanna go 0-100 faster than the 308THP
- like taking corners
- like driving small(er) cars
- like overtaking a lot of cars
- feels and seems better built quality compared to the 308THP

Or wait for the possible Polo Sedan made to compete with the Vios/City market (soon to be CKD together with the Jetta, China-Passat). Polo GTi will be kinda out of reach but you can still buy the Polo and later buy Polo GTi parts (fog lamps, LED grills, etc) to enhance your Polo.

Of course the problem about buying the Polo is that you'd probably get a lot of.. "waaa.. top up a bit and you can buy a Honda Civic or Accord liao...somemore got resale value..." kinda mumbo jumbo from relatives and other folks.

308THP has
- better interior
- more space
- looks better on the outside as well (not as sedated as the Polo)

I like it but I'm not very very impressed by it.

IMHO... PUG 308 is hot hatch same segment with golf which is C-segment..

while Polo 1.2 TSI is in Supermini category rival with mini cooper which more towards B-segment..

and mech LSD!!!!!!!!! Sorry hijacked the thread

yup... Polo isn't that small to be a supermini.. the Mini Cooper is much smaller... of course that Smart car is much smaller..

I guess if interior is important (after all we're buying the car and we're the ones constantly sitting inside it driving it and we wanna enjoy it's interior), then the 308THP is a good choice.

Get 308 Turbo.

test drive both edy..hands down to the polo i gotta say..
interior dosnt look dull but seriously its good quality material..

This is what a sweet looking polo would look like (image from Bro Crocky in the LYN VW Thread)

Guys..

I got the same dilemma..to polo or to 308 turbo -____-

I got a special price for the polo from a fren and today saw peugeot 308 turbo set at 1.88%...

Dont know what to choose..tested both and really like both..

Maybe shud just buy city

Don't use logic, just go with your heart!

Walow ehh..no offence to City owners..but but but..once you start conti..hard to turn back liao.

IMHO..get 308T if you need car now. If not wait for the Polo GTI, kena tambah (20k) but well worth it. Essentially you getting 180bhp and same specs of the Golf TSI at a cheaper entry cost. Dayummmm
