Guys one question, do u know if the polo GTI open up for booking? Another question is whether it's worth to get Mark V GTI? Considering price of used Golf is same as new Polo GTi?

It depends on what do you mean by "worth" polo gti is a new car meanwhile the mark V is a second or second hand one
Let's say in terms of performance & value for $? performance wise it seems Polo GTI is better. Value for $ wise Polo GTI buy new at 140k compared to used Mk 5 with around the price for a 3 years old car. The prob is polo GTI booking is closed right? Another option is to get Golf TSI. Need some advice

Some got the juddering issue to be fixed on the 7-speed dry clutch DSG gearbox by updating the software, others got it fixed by changing the clutch plate. Some tried both and still face the issue. I still think they haven't fully resolved the damn issue yet.

If software update can solve it, then latest release of cars should have the new software isn't it? Or this only affecting older batch of cars?

just wondering whats the reason that 3-4 years old MK5 GTI still selling so expensive like 160 range? is it due to the high demand for the GTIs?

looking at the trend, Mk1 to Mk2 is 9 years cycle, Mk2 to Mk3 is 9 years cycle, Mk3 to Mk4 is 8 years cycle, Mk4 - Mk5 is 7 years cycle, then Mk5 to MK6 is a 6 years cycle.

Can any1 advise me on your personal experience?


GTI New Car
Nvr got a chance to test drive but assume its a much more powerful car compare to tsi. But pricing wise is at high side n no discount. Bside the engine, everything is almost identical to TSI.

Used MK5 GTI
Around 150k, 2008/ 2009 car.

Hope you guys can give an opinion in terms of cost, maintenance, long run in 5 yrs period, petrol consumption.
*
Besides engine other details like lower sports Suspension setup, electric motor adjustable seat, leather bucket seat, adaptive suspension, launch control are difference between TSI vs GTI in terms of spec

Strange why cergas VW told me no shipment to Asian countries in this 2 months. And the price revising of Polo GTI isn't true.

Heard a confirm news pending for official release that Polo GTI price will be increasing for next batch of cars. Shucks I booked it any yet to get the car. Depending on the price I might want to opt for Golf TSi.

Which one you would chose Polo GTi or Golf Tsi if the price is the same?
