hardly any place got rocco to test drive..
for me i prefer rocco looks but GTI got more stuff to mod like DRL.. led tail lights.. like easier to find Golf stuff than rocco stuff
rocco just BK and performance stuff

handling wise rocco owns GTI tho...
best is u test drive both and u see which 1 more suites u

Call and arrange a test drive, not every dealership will have one ready if you just show up. Just call, make a date and go

I was in the same situation a few months back, in the end went with the Golf.

Mainly because of the price factor:

If you take the Scirocco, you're paying RM34,000 more than the Golf GTI.

In most other countries, the Scirocco is actually cheaper than the Golf GTI (in Singapore it's around RM16,000 cheaper).

In other words, you're paying more for what should be a cheaper car, and making yourself a victim of the government's extra tax on 2-door cars.

The engine and the gearbox are the same.

The interior looks almost exactly the same.

The handling is supposedly better.

But biggest plus point for the Scirocco is it looks MUCH sexier. People stare when you drive it. You feel like a rockstar. It's still a special thing to see one on the road.

Hardly anyone stares at a Golf, GTI or otherwise. I bet a 1.4 Scirocco would still get more stares even than a Golf R.

Whether this is worth the artificially inflated price is a decision only you can make.

You don't have any kids and I'm assuming you can comfortably afford either one of the cars .... yes?

Why are we still talking then? Get the Scirocco.

That's true! And if you compare it to the GTI SE, it also has no cruise control and no sun roof.

Not sure if the SE is still available though...

If the rumours of Golf R will be priced at RM260k is true, then it will be a very good buy. With 4Motion, tuned engine and sport seat, for me it will be better value for money than Scirocco biggrin.gif
