Its a pocket rocket versus a family sedan. Both to suit different markets. Initial pricing (PGTI was less than RM140k) was spot on IMHO but thanks to the new tax revision, VW go screwed over here in Malaysia.

tenkiu ah jip kor brows.gif

personally i think now the polo gti price are over priced.
rather go for Golf just a 1 sec+ diff 0-100.

only the engine spec been tuned. no where else was upgraded. 160k+ I could find lots of car

yeah, i knew of the price hike. Thats my point, they increase the price to almost same as their own d-segment car. Well, heck, they can even comapre with their own c-segment(jetta) since they use the same engine to have a closer look. I knew abt the passat cc increase last time ard, but for this polo gti, its kinda irrelevant.
*
very true. not to bash or comment new owner of polo gti.

but 160k+. now matter how good the performance or handling. at the end still a subcompact hatch car unless was Audi A1
For me, performance is good but I still prefer a practical car since malaysia average income not par with oversea.

The Jetta is a cut down version, extremely low specs. The Polo GTI has a lot of extra items which is definitely worth it when it was priced at RM136k. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if a hatch back price is the same as the D-segment, they cater for different markets entirely.

Depends ur age n the design u like bro.

Performance : polo GTi
Mature feel : Jetta
Good size & ever green : golf
*
didnt own both of the car but what i notice was

K5
- rear view camera
- panamoric roof
- push start / keyless entry
- full electronic seat with memory on driver side (passat also only driver side)
- full sport rim include spare wheel
- auto fold side mirror
- 10k interval service


Passat
- electronic hand brake
- tyre pressure monitor
- driver assist (drowsiness alert)
- front parking sensor
- cooling box
- 15k interval service

pls correct me if there any correction
QUOTE(Boy96 @ Oct 27 2012, 07:52 AM)
Hmm, the K5 has more horsepower on paper, passat accelerates faster?
*
Passat is more powderful even lower rpm. accelerates also need to see on torque which Passat got 50+ nm.
Eg. BMW 320d only 184hp but torque 370nm........ fuuuuuu it will tear your face off when u pedal it hard.

hmm. But my mom do prioritize Resale Value.. so passat has a plus point here.

Comparing the K5 and Passat Sport. Not the normal ones.. The sport do have auto fold side mirror (this one should be standard in all cars now).

We use the car mainly for 100% city drive.. maybe go outstation 3-4times a year..
Most importantly, want a car that has a rattle free cabin, no squeak squeak noise. etc etc...
*
even BMW got rattles. depend your lemon lor.

resale value passat should be better than K5 nowaday but not CBU unit.
K5 i test drive also quite comfort. can say car above 100k nowaday less rattle or squeky sound.


Passat I do felt knocking sound from back bonnet. on bumpy road. not sure passat sport

The cabin of the GLI features sport bucket seats with red stitching and a sport flat-bottom steering wheel with red stitching, the GLI logo and aluminum accents. The overall interior styling consistently follows the sporty exterior lines of the car and includes a soft-touch dashboard and other premium interior trimming that were stripped out of lesser Jetta models for cost reasons.

The GLI is available in cloth or V-Tex Leatherette and also features alloy pedals, shifter, dash and door trim. To increase versatility, the rear bench seatback is split 60/40 and folds.

While lesser Jettas make do with a simple twist-beam rear axle for the latest generation (previously, all Jettas had a fully independent suspension), the GLI benefits a four-link independent rear suspension with an upgraded anti-roll bar. This setup helps the GLI hug the corners like a GTI with a trunk and avoid the somewhat imprecise handling of normal Jettas.

The GLI also accelerates like a GTI thanks to a powertrain taken directly from Volkswagen's sporty hatchback. Underhood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft. of torque that mates to either a satisfying six-speed manual or a six-speed DSG twin-clutch automatic transmission. The DSG comes with steering wheel-mounted paddles for sequential-style shifting and rev-matched downshifts, and for the latest model year the transmission gains launch-control for speedy acceleration runs.

Equipped with the DSG, the GLI is rated at 24 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway, while opting for the row-your-own option will mean trading one city mpg for an extra one on the open freeway.

If jetta equip more accessory alike Passat. It will have better sales.

my requirements quite fussy.
if i am going to spend 200k for the car it has to be able to do everything.
weekend rempit machine, weekday workhorse, have enough prestige for my position but not something over my MD, automatic (paddle shifters good plus point), not a problematic car which needs to always goto the workshop, must have a boot, high hp for highway cruising, high torque for in-city driving, not a petrol drinker, etc.  laugh.gif  sweat.gif

Ford Mondeo

200k below = Checked
powerful car = checked
paddle shift = Checked
no problematic = checked
big boot = checked
Good FC = checked !
