forget about the 308 turbo. aircond not cold enough already a real turn off. polo gti has a real long waiting period. I will not be surprise if have to wait till next year.

well, the anak taukeh of the kuching VW dealership told me "polo gti is a very very dangerous car, even more dangerous than the golf GTI", which i agreed. well, i could not even order one because VW kuching stopped taking order 2 months ago. polo 1.2 acceleration is real good and unbelievable for a small engine like that and just imagine the more powerful polo gti, higher torque and more HP. crazy indeed.

how sure are you think 308 turbo aircon is not cold? are you driving one?

azbro, the temp setting was all the way to the coolest setting. the sun roof was not open, actually was closed all the way. If aircond is not that cold in our hot weather, then there will be a problem. maybe like u said, i don't know how to use.

The polo have a few Common problems like the never fixable left ward alignment and vibrating sound frm the dashboard. It's quite common among polo.

Some ppl got it fixed, some can't do nuts about it.

What I m trying to say is none is Perfect...

+1. i felt uncomfortable with the inadequate cooling effect in a hot friday afternoon. Just imagine what would happen if i'm stuck in a jam with that kind of aircond.

polo definitely less rattling compare to 308 due to more joint part like moon roof, i can confirm 308 air con is cooler than polo, i wonder how you guys do the comparison, from my experience because i own this 2 car

i does not bother about fuel consumption, since paying a high premium for just a 1.2 and 1.6 car, why bother? if you are, get a japan (thailand) made is more suitable for you.

VW always have bad driving dynamics,bad reliability,bad power,costly mod whistling.gif
In case of Pug 308T vs Polo 1.2TS,Pug 308T is the better buy quite obviously
