honestly i never get the feeling of 150 and above as i am currently driving a honda city and cant wait to get the feel of my polo gti next year!i dont know what to expect and couldn't arrange a test drive that soon either.
i wonder how those cars can do 180+ without fear of emergency break or sudden change of lanes from cars on the left..its either the break is damm good or they are just risking life.your thoughts?

agree....
did you upgrade your brakes ?

EDITED

Am quite captivated by VW by it's signature farting sound on a GTI.

Wondering, is there anyway to replicate or enable the GTI farting sound on a Golf TSI?

Anyone manage to get it from changing the down pipe or stage 1, etc?

shadow blue anyone?

wow! Shadow blue is so nice. Wish they had the this color option here

any idea if there is gona be tail light led for polo gti??

Tried my friend golf 1.4tsi, really good performance...

btw is it normal for this thing to happen - when let go the pedal the car seems like jerking/juddering (dont know the correct term but the symptom is that the car feel like a brake is being applied)...btw this things happens ever since from the 1st day of car collections.....

btw my friend collect the car 3 weeks ago...

you guys advise are highly appreciated..

tq...

Im driving a tsi too. When i let go my pedal frm idle with D mode, the car idle for another 0.5-1 sec then start moving forward slowly without any jerking i suppose.

I do hav the brake being Applied feeling when i press the pedal to accelerate but did not press too much (n not too little either) then i will feel a little jerk effect, if everytime i accelerate hard, i wont hav the issue. Lol.

btw is it normal when you have the EPC and the Catalytic Converter lit up before the engine ignite (when key in the start position)?The sign will disappear when you ignite the engine...

When I bought my Golf 2 months ago at Wearnes Bangsar, they still had Shadow Blue.

But now when I log on to the site, the option is gone. Discontinued maybe?

But to be honest I don't really like this color in the flesh. It looks kinda cheap and flat from certain angles, depending on how the sun shines on it.

Blue graphite is a much classier color, in my humble opinion.

+1 !

same tail light for Polo, probably just smoked glass

yes, once u start the ignition they should go away

The brakes are good coupled with ABS but it can always still be better!

In the plans, start off first with simple steel braided hoses first. Then thinking about the R brakes.

Yes, you need to change the exhaust. I have heard a TSI with a Remus exhaust achieve that together with a custom downpipe. Not too sure if he had removed the cat converter or added any bullets. Also heard the same for the 1.4 Scirocco as well.

Yes that is normal.

I dont know its been discuss before or not ? But is it better to get from FA wagen or veemer motor? any feedback ?

had a good experience with a SA from Veemer OKR. do let me know if you need his contact.

hie all, 1 quick question...can we change gear from D->S while driving? I've never tried S mode since I got the car..will it jerk or something?

it will hold the rpm up til 6k region before up shifting...S for sport, not jerk

thanks...mmm 6k rpm?!? I assume we can't do that in city drive can we?? yea..I mean, the moment we change from D->S, will it jerk for a bit before revs up to 6k rpm ar?

yes we can

hmm i don't think there is any jerking, say if you are doing 70 in 7th gear (D mode), it will probably drop to 3rd gear when u shift to S.
