Hm hie guys .. just wanted to share my experience as a VW owner.. used my MK6 GTi for a year now .. enjoying it immensely. Have a few minor issues (e.g. rear window wiper leak, rubber seal etc.) but overall a good car.

Well last weekend was driving back from Kota Damansara toll to Damansara toll. I've used that way for years now and I was in a mood to have a more spirited drive than usual, it was morning and traffic was light (disclaimer I do not encourage this kind of behavior but you cant blame a guy). After getting the usual *beep* from the Smart Tag machine, the toll bar swings up and depress pedal you know business as usual.

In front of me was a Savvy, looks stock and was also accelerating fast. So using my mighty GTi engine started to depress the pedal a little harder and after several "blurps" from the exhaust I was quickly going above 120 km/h but that Savvy was still about 2 cars ahead of me. I was curious and thought too my self maybe I was not pushing the GTi to its limit. So the bend comes ahead and the road turns to join the highway and i brake a bit and wisely use all the grip from the tires to overtake the Savvy.

To my dismay that little bugger was still in front of me (do note the Savvy driver was above average in driving IMHO). He took the corner at breathtaking speed, from my view his back left tire nearly lift off due to the heavy left turn we were making. I did gain some ground and I found myself kissing the back of his car. We were weaving thru the highway at breakneck speed (not going to mentioned the speed here safe to say it was fast). We quickly approach the Damansara tol left turn in from the highway and the Savvy was still in front of me and mind you he was matching the GTi pace. Took the left corner fast, >140km/h was not sure how fast was to busy avoiding a car making a left turn too.

Safe to say i was humble, that little Savvy was at the Damansara tol faster than me. I'm quite a decent driver not too say the best or a professional but i was impressed. Moral of the story i think that Savvy had a force inducted magic happening in its engine and that little car can move... hmm maybe its time to change my car to something more powerful...

just to share .... have a good one.

Just renewed my road tax and insurance for my VW. The experience was good, Allianz Gen Insurance people was friendly, resourceful and sexy. The little ball of sunshine (guessing she's petite due to her cute voice) that serviced me was Zura. Good customer service. Got everything done online and did it within the comfort of my ergonomically design chair.

4 days later and a big dent to the pocket receive the road tax and slapped it on the car. To those that is about to renew their road tax and insurance have fun...

Just to share my experience.
