bye bye to 5 yrs warranty, haha.
but that:s what im thinking right now too, 1.4 power really really no kick at all. need at least stage1, i feel u man

but im doing other stuff first, maybe after 15k or 30k only will consider stage1

 

Yes it is detectable.

No offense bro but if you buy a car to get glances from people, then you are really buying a car for the wrong reasons. Because of the 2doors tax structure in Malaysia, you are paying a lot more for a Roc than what it is actually worth. Just pop over to Sg (or any other parts of the world) and you will realize that the GTI is held in higher regards to the Roc 2.0 in both performance and prestige.

Added on August 17, 2011, 11:50 pmTell people that you paid about the same money for a Roc 1.4 vs the GTI and you will probably get even more "glances".

I also chose a Golf over a Scirocco for the same reason.

But it's not fair to say you're buying a car for the "wrong reason" just because you want people to look at you.

Who's to say what is right or wrong? Some people want style. Some people want power. Some people want economy.

For example if you're the kind of person who only wants to get from A - B, then you can also say buying a GTI is a waste of money. Better get a TSI instead.

Plus we're not in SG, we're in Malaysia. And the reality here is, a Scirocco gets more glances and admiration from the layman than ANY kind of Golf, whether it's a TSI, a GTI or even an R.

"By the way there's not that many roc's on the road. I always get glances from people every time I got out of my car. Can't say the same for GTI's since there's a lot of them on the road."

I think you are getting this all very wrong. I was reacting to the above statement made by double7 in his original post which kinda demeans the GTI and implied that style is more important than substance.

Yes, I did say to each his own but that does not mean that I can't air my opinion. Your analogy of a Nazi Is most ironic as they do not take kindly to opinions. So, who is the Nazi?

I never did say that I am smarter or more sophisticated than Roc buyers. I personally love the Roc! You are arguing out of context. I am just saying that to buy a car so that people could admire your car is not the best reason to buy a car. We should buy a car because we like the car for it's performance, styling, etc. Buying a car to get glances from strangers seems juvenile to me. You might not agree with me but that is my opinion...and everyone is free to make an opinion...unless you are a Nazi.

Curiously enough, in terms of substance, the Scirocco handles way better than the Golf especially if you compare it stock vs stock. Mainly due to the lower center of gravity for the Roc and it's two door design so the chassis is a little stiffer which definitely shines when it comes to cornering.

Alright bro. You have your point. It is at rest.

Well, if you were indeed buying the car to get glances fom strangers then it is indeed quite a juvenile act but since you are not, then you are not juvenile and I apologize. However, playing zig-zag and racing on public roads suggests otherwise. Please put safety first before your ego. If you want to test your Roc against GTIs, bring it to your local racetrack.

Haha. Since we are in the topic of ego, drive safe and enjoy the loving glances from strangers that will help bolster your ego instead of indulging in dangerous street racing.

Hi...just wanna ask what is the current waiting period for Scirocco 1.4TSI ? Wanna test drive the car after this raya  ..

Any centre/reseller to recommend?

Thanks...

yes, previously was on esso95...felt worse...now esso97..slightly more responsive..but still, the moment i stepped down on pedal, its like dragging on the road...just dun wanna move..not fetching anyone, whole car just me alone...'=.= i think if i sent over to service centre, they dunno what to do also...

Well,it doesn't make any sense.polo gti beats golf and sirocco but price much cheaper than both of them.how is it made possible?there must be a key difference between these cars which makes the disparity in terms of prices.well,can the polo gti beats the merz c200 or audi a4?hahaha.

Just saw a white Roc R along persiaran surian. Anybody's car here?

Was also trying to race with a Audi R8 4.2 on NKVE, couldn't overtake it obviously but it was fun though!
