Slightly better, got accessories to view, can also go on a few rides hehehehe

Best of all, you get to hear the good and the bad from the owners themselves. We had a few fellas join us who have been undecided on which car to buy (e.g. Roc vs GTI or Polo vs Golf) and after speaking to owners and even going for a test drive in their cars, it definitely gives you a better understanding of the car and the good and the bad of it.

the other day when my dad brought my mom's passat cc for service, he said he had placed a booking for the 2012 beetle. he claimed that the sa told him that the pricing would be similar to the scirocco 2.0. anyone of you heard of anyone placing booking for the 2012 beetle?

Yeah my SA was taking booking orders as well for the Beetle 2012. Well according to my SA, the unconfirmed pricing could be in the range of RM130k (for the 1.2 TSI version) up till around RM210k (for the 2.0 TSI version). No final confirmation of the price and the price is also subject to change thanks to our wonderful customs department who might just decide to raise the taxes for these cars.

cool. as much as i think the 2012 beetle looks way hotter than the new beetle, but can't help to think of the options available. a MINI cabrio, audi a1 or beetle? oh, let's throw in the alfa romeo mito as well, it's cheaper than all three options above too.

rm210k for bettle sound expensive. I'm not bettle fans

Why not post OTR prices inclusive insurance and registration for all models?

The prices are in the first post, have to thank phaser for putting those up

OTR prices can vary especially since you determine how much you want to insure your car for as well as how much NCB/NCD you might have to carry forward as well as whether you want to insure your windscreen or not.

For comparison purposes, they should just put the normal OTR prices just like other car manufacturers. Normally ive seen only cars which are seemingly 'overpriced' will not have the insurance included to exude a 'cheaper' initial image. Nobody will take into account windscreen coverage to compare car prices. Just compare using the general items e.g number plates, road tax, registration and insurance. Been done many times in the past and no reason not to be done now.

Prices provided in the VW website includes OTR prices excluding insurance:

Includes the following items:
Road Tax (one year)
Registration Fee
Inspection and Handling Fees
Number Plate
HP Ownership Endorsement Fee

If you want a breakdown of each individual fee per model, I suggest you go to the VW website to find out more.

OTR prices for models here in Malaysia.

Golf 1.4 TSI: RM156,608.00
Golf GTI: RM211,060.00
Polo Sports: RM114,593.00
Polo GTI (3-door): RM133,608.00
Polo GTI (5-door): RM136,608.00
Scirocco 1.4 TSI: RM189,608.00
Scirocco GT: RM245,060.00
Passat CC Comfortline: RM256,060.00
Passat CC Sport: RM271,060.00
Passat: RM185,967.20
EOS: RM259,060.00
Tiguan: RM238,121.60
Touareg: RM 432,283.20
Jetta: RM150,608.00
Cross Touran: RM167,608.00


Again, I would highlight the point in regards to insurance, your premium is different from others based on your age, what you want covered and also what other add-ons you want and which insurance company you sign up with. If you sign up with Chartis, there is an extra 15% loaded cost on top of any new insurance registered recently.

ei... how come Jetta cheaper than golf...

To create a level playing field for comparisons, the insurance needs to be included. Till now nothing mentioned about the OTR price with insurance.

Why don't you write a nice letter to Volkswagen Group Malaysia so that they will release that as well? I am sure they will appreciate the comment especially coming from a consumer.

Babbling here won't get you the results you want.

Otherwise, use this tool to calculate the insurance premium for each individual car.

use the 'search' and type the thing u looking for and press 'enter'

no point babbling here. Mavik was nice enough to put information for you and others reading pleasure.

If you insist of OTR prices from VW...by all mean pls go write to them or go bang table in VW showroom

I didn't know that Wisma UOA Bangsar is now known as Wisma VW .... thanks for the info.

Btw, this is the first time I'm posting here .... my family has a Touareg.

The pricing without insurance is readily available. There wasnt any issue there. What i was asking for was the cost of insurance. The car prices were already on Page 1 so no reason to repeat that.

And i dont need to write to anybody as well. VW had a separate listing of all insurance prices for each model during their roadshow at Tropicana City Mall. So if they can have separate listings why not put it up for anybody to see? The only reason for this is to show that their cars arent that expensive at first glance. This is called 'misleading the consumer'.

anyone got their cars yet with the new head unit?
the sa told me it will be multi function, touch screen and integrated with steering controls.

was sitting in my cousin's audi and was really impressed.

since audi and vw in the same group the technology behind it shouldn't be that far apart, right?
