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

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.

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

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.

If only life were that simple

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

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

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.

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.

Address is available here http://www.getto.com.my/

Its at the shop lots nearby Jaya Jusco in Equine Park.

Skimmed means skimmed as in a polish effect. Basically converting the Denvers to look like Detroits.

Before:


After:


Note that the images are actually different rims but the effect is just the same

Depends on the shop you go to. I did mine at YR Auto in Kepong. I know Hup Shun in Sunway also provides this service. Can range from RM500-RM600 if I am not mistaken. Do note it will take them a couple of days to do it.

Yeah for front and back. Note that it isn't the usual type of plate where they stick numbers on it. The entire plate is a large sticker and then protected with a clear plastic.

Yup it was the vwclubmalaysia.net weekly TT sessions. This week and next week we are meeting at Kota Kemuning

Great car, beautiful looking and its powerful!

Edit: Great handling as well

There are a lot of small differences you will get out with the Scirocco as compared to the Golf which you will tend to notice. On the Scirocco you get stuff like the flat bottom steering wheel (this is worth around RM3k), the front disc rotors are the same size as the Golf GTI's at 312mm vs the Golf TSI's rotors at 286mm and the handling is a lot better. Also you get standard 17" rims versus the 16" rims on the Golf.

In order for a Golf 1.4 to even come close to the Roc 1.4's handling, you need to change the springs and get a set of anti roll bars. Of course looks itself, personally I used to not like it but after a while, it sort of grows on you.

For the full kit you also need the rear bumper, catback exhaust, and roof spoiler. Roof spoiler was obtained from http://modyourfast.easy.my

Your argument just comes from the fact that you are complaining about the government taxes which is definitely a key point but I am also stating the real fact as a Golf owner and the more I sit in a Scirocco, these differences do tend to hit you and make you consider the fact that these little differences do make a difference in terms of how you look at a car.

If you want to complain about taxes and the justice of paying such a premium, you can forever argue that till the cows come home because taxes will be there and thats the way it is.

Edit: Also from recent dyno figures, I tend to notice that for the Golf 1.4, on stock with Ron95, the average wheel horse power is around 153-155 depending on which brand of fuel you go for. For a Scirocco, the average tends to be higher, ranging from 158whp to the highest I have seen on a stock Scirocco 1.4 is 170whp. I have a feeling that some batches of Sciroccos 1.4 that came in to Malaysia was tuned higher as well (in the UK, the 1.4 TSI engines are tuned up to 180ps for both the Scirocco and Golf).

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.

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.

LOL nowonder the Jetta in the US got such a bad rating! The engines put in the Jetta there isn't that fantastic..

http://www.vw.com/en/models/jetta/trims-specs.html

2.0L, 8-valve, SOHC, 4-cylinder engine; 115 hp, 125 lbs/ft of torque

2.5L, 20-valve, DOHC, in-line 5-cylinder engine; 170 hp, 177 lbs/ft of torque

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.
