Yup. Shedden has awesome brakes and suspension!.. Dollar for dollar, a GTI would be better if you look at it that way. I'm running stock shocks, springs and brakes.

Any of you Polo owners having rattling, creaking sounds around the door panels, windows when you go over bumpy or uneven roads?  Sounds like loose plastic rubbing against each other, as if the panels aren't fitted very well...would the service center even consider this as a problem if I brought it in?

hmmm....it only happens to uneven roads? or when we go over bumps? which models? golf gti? tsi? or polo ar? lemme go back and observe...see if mine kena...   (*touchwood though)

yea i always leave it on, u mean switch it off?

Hi Bros,

Thanks for the reply.

I like tornado red but it is for GTi only.

Amaryllis red(metalic) , tornado red (solid)  and flash red (solid)  looks nicer than salsa red (solid).

To me, salsa red look dull compared to the others.

Do you guys think so too?

anyone know what is the hotline for VW road assist?

Honestly?

(1) They could have made an announcement to all those who were going to take delivery of the cars in the period when they found out about the SE specs at port, I am sure they knew before the cars arrived. Let the owners decide to wait for delivery or offer them some sort of incentive to offset the lost (don't kid yourself it is a lost for the GTI 2011 owners). Likelihood of that ever happening - NIL
(2) Yes technically speaking they did no wrong. So we GTI owners should just suck it up and get on with it. However, there is a possible rebuttal to this. The mere fact of the cars being of different specs but manufactured the same year without these specifications being notified to customers officially points to VGM not being transparent over the issue. As consumers I believe we should be aware of our rights. We GTI owners have a right to recourse should we chose to go down that path. Fact - we lost a whole chunk of $$$ on the value of our vehicles because of the GTI SE. You could argue that this is notional but nevertheless it is fact. We paid exactly the same amount of money for a lesser car so to speak.

Anyway, I just brought it up because I wanted everybody here to know that we could have a legitimate grounds for complain and compensation. If that's the case why not? $$$ is after all $$$. I don't mind being the test case but I have no clue how to get the official itemized pricing for the extras i.e. sunroof, Detroits, MDI (I saw unofficially it was priced at Rm1K++ crazzy!), cruise control stalk (RM600++), RCD510 (no idea, really could be 8K)
