QUOTE(omichael @ Nov 10 2011, 05:28 PM) 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? 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. |

QUOTE(r3kahsttub @ Nov 17 2011, 04:56 PM)  I wrote a small article on ZTH and on my blog as well. To be honest; I didn't really have much time with either of them. I drove the 'Roc along the MEX towards Putrajaya, but the roads were a little damp, and there was some amount of traffic. Still, I was able to hit 160mph (yes, I know its supposed to be limited to 155mph) with ease. There was a hint of torque steer when you plant your foot into the accelerator at standstill, and I would 'blame' this on the FWD format of the Scirocco R. With the Golf, I had even less time. It was getting very late (1AM!) so I drove towards Mont Kiara, and made a u-turn hitting the Kerinchi link, onto Federal. Even with shortage of tarmac, I hit 140mph... but most impressive was the cornering ability; AWD and XDS seems to have given the Golf R superpowers or something... Between the two, it is no contest for me. I would take the Golf R home. I want Golf R! When exactly is it arriving? Why is it taking so long? |

Last monday, I was having a good time racing with my friend's brand new Merc C300 AMG to Putrajaya on Mex highway. Though my GTI smokes him nicely on a straight line, I could feel the GTI struggling a bit on corners. Could feel slight body roll even on sports mode. Any accessories that can help to improve this? I don't intend to lower my car. On 18" detroits now.

Added on December 17, 2011, 1:02 amQUOTE(kenji1903 @ Dec 15 2011, 10:47 AM) the stock rear ARB is 23mm hollow... maybe can change to a solid bar? but... i always thought the GTI can carve corners gracefully... hmm... interesting... GTI can smoke a 3.0l V6? Well yes since on paper the C300 does 7.2 seconds. Its a much heavier car and the car just came out of the showroom. Perhaps once its more run in, wont be able to smoke it anymore.. This post has been edited by Royrogers: Dec 17 2011, 01:02 AM |

QUOTE(tiganasfx @ Feb 23 2012, 05:18 PM) Wow 280k for a Golf? Can get a Megane RS 250 Cup, 323i or C250 CGI. You cant compare like that. RS 250 is mainly tuned for the tracks and comes with only manual gearbox. Not everyone will buy this car for daily use unless its their weekend toy. 323i and C250 is nowhere near Golf R in terms of acceleration. 323i does 8.7 secs and C250 does 7.2 secs while the R can do 5.5 seconds. It's a HUGE difference. RM280k for a CBU German car with all the bells and whistles that can do 5.5 secs is quite a deal if you ask me. |

QUOTE(phas3r @ Jul 12 2012, 11:28 PM) Yup polo gti 3 door 168k while 5 dr is 169k Last time 133k n 136k Current owners can make tons of money! I really dun understand how car prices work in Msia but it is just so ridiculous. Why is there an increase of 35k for Polo Gti? In Msia, Scirocco price is more than a Golf GTI by almost 40k but in Spore and the rest of the world, the GTI is the more expensive car. The reason I was told is because of the taxes slapped on Scirocco for a being a 2 door car. But why is Polo Gti 2 door cheaper than the 4 door? In other parts of the world, car prices dun usually increase when the next generation model comes out. Even if it does, its very minor. But in Msia, it just keeps going up! For the current Poloi Gti owners, I'm really happy for you! I hope Golf Gti price will also increase  |
