Approval already got wor and tax bracket already set. VGM still don't want to release their price...

Shouldn't have any difference, only thing is the 5 years warranty that's all. Watch out for those which are 2009 or older. Key points is to take note of the interior. Some of them are still on the Mk5 design especially those brought in via recon.

LYN VW members let's have an impromptu TT session tonight

Feel free to join us at Chawan Citta Mall tonight at 9.00pm

Good for members to meet other VW owners as well as potential VW owners where we can share our likes and dislikes with the car, what happens when you mod it or what kind or heartaches and feel good sessions we have with the car

Tonight is for the LYN group There is a bunch of us who met up somewhere at the beginning of last year before VCM started

We have been having some adhoc TT's here and then.

About 4 of us, small group. Open to all especially those who might be crowd shy

1.4 or 2.0? Volkswagen Group Malaysia or recon?

Straight line it is a very very close fight depending on how fast you manage to launch your car. Around the bends, the Rocco is faster due to the chasis and its ability to corner better than the GTI at stock.

Sounds great, see you there on Thursday night!

Sam you are more than welcome to join us! We usually stay till quite late around sometimes past 12 so do join us. I will PM you my number if you can make it on Thursday

Did the sales agreement specifically mention a 2011 car or a 2012 car? Because if they specifically mention a 2011 manufactured car, then its going to be a tough legal battle.

All the best with your case mate. But frankly, because your loan also didn't get approved, the dealers can use that against you.

Some say around 275k OTR price. No final confirmation but I saw a Sales Agent put up an advert on Mudah stating the possible release price can be in the range of RM260k-RM280k.

Personally you definitely can't compare the Golf R, BMW 323i and C250 just because they are sold here for around the same price mate. Three cars have each their own advantages and only the 323i and the C250 are sedans while the Golf R is marketed as a hot hatch. It doesn't matter if they are around the same price but thats how Volkswagen Group Malaysia wants to price it. I know people who sold off their Audi Q5 just to get the Golf R and I know people who sold off their Scirocco R just to get a BMW 335. Different people have different wants and needs. There are plenty of cars available at the RM280k price range, there are people who would rather get a recon BMW 335i which gives them way more power or some would even go for a recon Cayman S.

Now if you make a comparison between the Golf R and the Megane RS, thats a closer fight because both are sort of very closely specced in terms of gadgets accessories, power and the purpose of the car, which is meant to be a hot hatch.

Totally agree, its a pity they also have Rising Blue for the Scirocco's. They should keep it purely for the Golf R's

Its a pity that the R's arriving here is also detuned.

Yup but only slightly due to our humid condition here in this part of the world.

The version we are getting is the 255ps version while the version overseas in cooler climate is rated at 270ps.

Tuning can be done outside but it will not reach the same power as that of the GTI. It takes a lot of other modifications besides just an ECU remap to get your car to the same power of that a GTI.

These are the biggest differences that the GTI has compared to the TSI
- 2.0 TSI EA888 engine, outputs more power than the MkV engine
- 6-speed wet clutch DSG (This gearbox can withstand more torque)


Speaking as a TSI owner, if you can afford the GTI, just go for the GTI. Otherwise scout around mudah for a 2nd hand Mk6 GTI. Great deals there.

I heard that there is a Golf R available at the Wearnes Jln Ampang branch because of a cancellation. Anyone here interested in it should go and call that branch ASAP hehehe

Yes the Golf TSI's suspension is softer as well as the car's profile is higher compared to it's GTI brother. Hence you get the floaty feel especially when taking high speed corners.

Yes, all the Golf TSI is roughly the same throughout the years with the exception of a few part revisions. Those revisions can usually be seen in the part number of the parts.

That is a tough question to answer because monthly repayment is based on your downpayment. I heard that banks now will only approve loans for those where the monthly payments is less than your nett salary (take home pay after PCB and EPF deductions).
