Phas3r, PCC price need to be updated ya. I was recently quoted 269k with a big discount.
Love the car, not the price though.
Cheers!

How much discount for CC, i ask no discount. It;s more expensive than Benz and BMW.

yay 1st page!

Congrats for V5! A quick video to celebrate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN0Cx79OgoU

Nice.... Lowyat vw rocks!

having dilemma to choose either new scirocco 2.0 or recond audi TT
which is the best to choose regarding the performance and others
coz the price are nearly the same

just wondering the rims for Polo GTI and Golf GTI, they are the same Detroits, right?
cos i saw the MK5 also having the same rims but some have kind of matt and some are shiny like the Polo GTI

audi TT ALL DA WAY MAN!!!! anyhow its still an AUDI

I vote rocco 2.0, 5 year warranty + the fact that you know that you are the first owner of the car

Don't know if its true but I heard that if you bought a recond Audi you still need to pay euromobil a fee to register your car if you want to service it with them.

LYN VW ClUB Rock !!

left is denver, right is detroit

btw PCD is different
Golf - 5x112
Polo - 5x100

Audi TT is used Sirocco is new. If you do't mind used/recon go for Audi. Performance i think sirocco is better, but TT look way better imo.

thanks bro

although audi tt is recondition car but after i view the car the millage is still low and the car still looks new
millage is 20000 km and this car cost 20500 .
if comparing the speed which 1 more fast?
scirocco or tt

recon car mileage is all lie don't believe it.

pretty sure TT is faster

i don't really understand what u mean lie
the millage can adjust？
lasttime my uncle bought 1 maserati grandturismo cost him 800k++
he order from uk but the millage just 3000km only
this also lie?

Added on November 9, 2011, 11:57 amadd 1 more new car to compare
http://paultan.org/2010/05/24/peugeot-rcz-...ort-from-spain/
peugeot rcz

This post has been edited by fensiang: Nov 9 2011, 11:57 AM

i dunno about Maserati, the SA told me it can be adjust. i bought my Caldina 5 year old car 21km, my cousin GTR35 3 year old car 11km. I don't know how true is it but SA said it can be done.

it's really impossible la 5 year caldina 21 km ?
huh

21k km or 21km?

Anyway get the audi tt, way better than scirocco. The performance will blow u away.

bro, RCZ is so underpower compare to rocco 2.0 or TT
it's 1.6 twin-scroll turbo engine churns out 200BHP 275nm
it's cheaper though

it can be adjusted. if TNB meter can be tampered, why is the mileage meter unable? just rely on the mileage is foolish.
get a good mekanik and together evaluate the car.
inspect the rubbers, under the mat, boot area, and under carriage.

as for the engine, only a test drive can evaluate.

even so, buying a used car is always higher risk. but u pay much less.
so GOOD LUCK

huh how can TT performance be better if its the same engine?
unless u are buying a TT quattro
and if u are getting a recon 1 it should be using the TSFI engine

i know audi engines got variable timing but not on VW

scirocco's handling is sure better than a TT's

Audi = VW so u getting the same quality but if u buy a VW u get the 5 years warranty + road side assist which i think is better...
and the car is NEW u never know what the car has gone thru those years

not to mentioned almost all TT swallow 1 litre of engine oil every 1000km of mileage which is severe compared to VW.

Guys,
What's a rear fog? :3

Congrats on new thread

im sure rear fog means the snow light on the back of the car...
most european cars have it...

ex Golf only got 1 side reverse light other side is the fog/snow light

Guys, the Audi TT engines is not the same as the Scirocco engines (post 2010 models that is) for those manufactured before 2010. After 2010, the Audi TT should be using the EA888 blocks.

Personally having driven a recon 2007 Audi TT and the Scirocco 2.0, the Scirocco is slightly faster. If power is what you want, then go with the Roc because a Stage 1.5 EA888 engine can already reach >400Nm of torque

ohh.
So the R Led Light in malaysia is without rear fog?
Btw, stalkerrox,
How much you got your R Led Light?

The R lights found here has both the fog light and the reverse camera. Basically one side of the light shows the reverse camera and the other side shows the fog light.

Reverse camera? Do u mean reverse light?

Ohh. Thanks lot
another question,
2012's golf gti comes with which hardware?
i mean, is it RCD 510?

haha paiseh i havent changed my yet
save my cash for something else now.. need to wait next year only start modding

Owh,
cause i checked on facebook,
it costs like rm2.2k!

yea it's around that price...
u can go check out MYF or exotic mods sometimes they got promo..

Oops, paiseh! I meant reverse light

Yes, the Golf GTI SE versions come with RCD510

RM2.2k is reasonable. Last year the prices were close to RM3k

Golf GTi SE?
Any diff from the Golf GTi?

Reverse camera? Is this something new cause I always tot that the reverse camera is housed at the VW emblem? I demand you tell me more!

Made a typo. Please read my post above.

There are two ways to install the reverse camera, one is as you say, via the VW emblem. The other is via where the license plate is located. Depends on the brand of camera you get, whether it may be a OEM VW part or a 3rd party version.

- SE got 18" Detroit wheels. Normal GTI only got 17" Denver wheels
- SE got sunroof. Normal GTI don't have
- SE got cruise control. Normal GTI don't have
- SE got RCD 510 head unit. Normal GTI only got welfare RCD 310
- SE got lucky ******* owners. Normal GTI only got water fish owners like me

Anything else I miss?

Ahh,
So the model shown on volkswagen.com.my is a Normal one?
how do we get the SE one? Same book from the dealer?
But the website didn't show it

This post has been edited by Jganne: Nov 9 2011, 03:54 PM

u book now March 2012 only take stock hahaha

GTI SE got DRL too

So in 2012 price should be RM1.4K....

DRL is not SE exclusive. If I'm not mistaken, all 2011 GTI's get DRL.

---

Added on November 9, 2011, 4:38 pmI believe that every year VW Malaysia will only bring in a limited number of GTI SE's so gotta specifically ask for that model. Hence why the long waiting time.

My buddy who booked will only get it in April 2012 (according to the SA lah).

This post has been edited by wira1979: Nov 9 2011, 04:38 PM

yea not all 2011 GTI's

mine was the first batch GTI's to get DRL's
erm May that time

Yup i booked a golf gti se n the sa told me i'll be getting it by end of march or early april 2012. This year vw only bring 60 units of gti se n all of them are sold out.
However, if i'm not mistaken the sa told me all 2012 model golf gti will be like se where they will come with sunroof, 18" detroit wheels, rcd510, cruise control n all.

This post has been edited by andy_heartless: Nov 9 2011, 05:24 PM

So should i specify i wanted a SE when i book it?
or they are all the same in 2012?

If only life were that simple

I'm not really sure that all 2012 model will be the same as se, thats what my sa told me. But i think it'd be better to just specify that u want the se model when u book it. Or u can ask ur sa about it when u want to book it later. I told my sa that i want the gti se n she said all the 2012 model will be coming with se specs

imma ask them again properly.
thanks for your info!

Just wonder anyone driving a Golf GTI Mk5?

Do want to know the fuel consumption in city/highway driving.

Hi guys,Gary reporting in...just booked a new tiguan a week ago n will b getting it within 2 weeks as told. Any sifu here that can tell me can a tiguan go for a stage 1 upgrade? coz its d same engine as gti with d exception on 7speed dsg wet clutch. 7.3 from 0-100 top speed 213km/hr...any significant increase in stats after remapping? which should i go for APR or? heard there is a remap using switch so no prob of getting d car warantee void if detected by sc...any idea?
heard ppl saying in d forum that v need to top up our engine oil coz it wont last for d whole period of 15k service interval...which brand of oil should i choose? castrol or liquay moly? spec?
Thanks alot guys...

11k for the PCC.
The price is crazy thanks to u know who.
1 thing I dun like about the PCC is the moon roof. I can feel the heat from the afternoon sun.

the next batch of gti might/ might not be whatever SE. No SA will guarantee you that for the incoming shipment. My 2 cents is, book get whatever specs and enjoy it...


and Ive just realised this is version5....long live LYN VW forum

I guess most of you guys have known this. VW is now giving out service offer at all authorized service centres nationwide. From 1st Nov - 31 Dec 2011, they are giving out free gifts and up to 30% discounts on all accessories and parts.

Here's the brochure:

Dang! I just sent my car for an interim service a month back. Could have saved 25% hehe

Which batch are u referring too? i booked in september and delivery date in march/april. how can they change it to non SE ?

When u booked ur golf gti did u specify to the sa that u want the se model?
I'm getting mine in march/april too but i already told the sa that i want the se model

Hi all, I've written a short article on the Polo GTI here. Appreciate any constructive thoughts/comments so that I can improve!

Thanks in advance, folks!

Nice write up! more please!

Nice

So nice to see that VW are growing a set of balls and bringing in a car like this. The bloated order book is just reward for their willingness to take some risks. At the same time, makes me feel a bit depressed as I was not able to convince my wife to change to a Polo GTI.

Anyways, anyone on the forum received their Polo GTI already? Come we exchange cars for 1 or 2 days as I really, really, really want to drive the car.

I had a comparison test between the Golf and Polo GTI, and the only thing the Polo lacked (at least in my opinion) was space. Other than that, I loved that supermini!

Btw, I've heard that a couple of Polo GTIs have already been delivered.

The Polo GTI seems like quite the game changer.

How to justify forking out an extra RM70k to buy a Golf GTI when the performance figures are identical? Is the bit of extra space really worth RM70k?

Great write up bro

Nice wrote!!!

the only sameX2 thing is the 0 to 100 only..the rest is a different class of vehicle alltogether...

I will let the rest share with you in term of ride, space, bhp, stability, feel, potential small tweak to add 40bhp + 120nm, R lights, gadgetry etc etc.

Good review and nice photos btw.
No separate review on the Golf GTI?

This post has been edited by mikelee: Nov 10 2011, 07:52 PM

i would love to see that!
Was searching at google for the comparison between polo GTi and golf GTi, got nothing

There is really no point comparing la. Golf is a whole lot bigger and at high speeds and cornering abilities, the Golf is likely more stable. Is the extra space worth it? That is very subjective and it depends on the owner's needs. Personally, the Polo GTI will be my obvious choice if I'm buying it as the 2nd car. If I already have a large sedan as my family transport, I dont mind getting the Polo as a weekend fun car. However, for some of us in this forum which includes me, do not have that luxury of owning a few cars, the Golf GTI provides the right balance of practicality, space, power and fun.

I guess if you start comparing which is better, M3 or M5? Then the debate will never end again. Both are excellent cars to serve different needs and budget.

I think most of you guys are reading from paper. the 0-100 is mostly what you guys will look for. i recommend if possible do a test drive on the golf gti and the polo gti when it comes available. apart from it's 0-100 the chassis, handling, and also safety are almost miles apart justifying the RM70K price tag.

Fantastic write up bro! Very detailed and loved all the pictures available.

On paper you will see that the performance figures seem the same but for the enthusiast, the Golf GTI has a lot more potential than the Polo GTI because I would say that the 7-speed dry clutch gearbox is holding it back and of course there is the 1.4 engine (I have seen those crazy German fellas pull out 300bhp out of that 1.4 engine but of course on a manual gearbox).

If you do a very detailed comparison, the Polo GTI shares a lot more similarities with the Golf GTI Mk1 actually, in terms of size and weight. The current Golf GTI is like double the weight of that of the original GTI but of course this is due to the safety features.

I really did wish that VW would actually release a manual version of the Polo GTI

mavik's sassy white lady
polo gti 1.4 twincharged is a very big gap compare to the 1.2 tsi turbo unit
polo r wrc is a beast though

Nice car n nice pic man!

is that rim Denver? or...?

should be detroits 18"
so mavik is that a gti or a heavily modded tsi
lol

Thanks for all the comments folks. Really appreciate it. And yes, to be fair, there is a reason for the RM80k gap between a Polo and Golf GTI. The money obviously goes somewhere! But, bang for buck, the Polo GTI certainly comes out on top!

Fantastic pics as well, Mark. I think... I might have seen your car yesterday, in Seri Kembangan area? Had all the GTI cues, but no badge on the front, which was easy to remember... was that you?

Btw - I'm working on getting a Scirocco R and Golf R to review as well; will keep you guys posted in here.

Not everyone is able to appreciate R lights, handling, mod potential, etc. To the average car buyer the perception will be that they now have an option to get close to Golf GTI-level performance at a MUCH cheaper price, even cheaper than a Golf TSI.

It's these kinds of people who may question the need to fork out an extra RM70k for the Golf GTI. It's a lot of money bro, you could put a downpayment on two houses with that...

But actually I'm just curious as to how the Polo GTI is going to affect Golf GTI and TSI sales. And to us existing Golf owners, I wonder how it will affect our car's resale value.

This post has been edited by omichael: Nov 11 2011, 01:44 AM

lol i don't think polo gti gonna be affecting much sales till after april next year

Btw, I did want to do a Polo GTI v/s Golf GTI comparison, but VW no longer had any stock of the Golf GTI; not even one as a demo car!

In all honesty, though... I do not think that the Polo GTI will affect the sales of Golf models. While my heart tells me to go for the Polo GTI, my mind knows that (if I had the money!) I would go for the Golf.Preferably in GTI guise

Cantiknya gambar ...

Now all you need are some Forge 6 potters and the illusion is complete

been driving my candy white polo gti for almost one month.. loved the fast power deliver and quick gear change...
and yes the car is small and will feel bumpy on uneven road..but i been used as daily car now and f10 as weekend car..shld be vice versa right?

Looks like you were one of the lucky one who were able to take delivery of their Polo GTI. And yes; seems like the F10 should be your daily driver instead of the Polo GTI

No, its actually my old Denver's sprayed and skimmed to look like Detroits. So it is still on 17" rim size. Wanting to go to 18" and have already been eyeing two different designs

Yes that was me! I was at Getto getting some stickers to put on the car. Now it looks a little bit more different as to how Broleo can attest to it



Very very little affect mainly because of the worldwide shortage and availability of the Polo GTI.

This post has been edited by Mavik: Nov 11 2011, 11:39 AM

Eh cantik lah. The sticker you were mentioning is the EURO MY one on your number plate?

More details please. Cheaper alternative as opposed to going the full EURO plate option (which I am fighting on a daily basis to avoid ordering).

i think the sticker that bro mavik mentioned is the white stripe on the honeycomb as opposed to GTi red line..

Both also correct! The plate and the white sticker was from Getto but I gotten the plate about a month back and now back at Getto to get the white stickers.

Mavik,

stop posting old pics...now go and show the 'confused car' shite stripe...hehehe

as for the debate on saving 70k on polo gti vs golf gti, individual preferences..if you are ermmm...above normal size, u will find the polo small in comparison to golf.

thos buying polo gti not for performance, gods know what they buy it for? hence if performance oriented, golf gti is much more potential and desirable among gti fanatics worldwide.

good shout from fonzz on the wrc thingy...that polo is whoatttt

2 sen only

Contact for Getto please?
Oh yeah, what do you mean by Skimmed?

This post has been edited by Jganne: Nov 11 2011, 12:18 PM

Confused but still nice ... address / contact please of Getto if you don't mind. Cheers bro.

even on paper the polo gti and golf gti have same 0-100 times..
but there is a video on youtube which proves that wrong..
polo gti was slightly slower than the golf gti on the 0-100 times...
and if not mistaken they did some fast laps..
the fella in the polo complaining understeer like mad...

LOL yeah. Maybe they need to start CKD'ing Polos
