Polo Sedan is about RM 104K (OTR with insurance and tax) right? But yes with no stability control (which i would expect for all conti's especially VW), 4 airbags, 103Hp 1.6L MPI Euro 2 engine, 0-100kmph in >12 secs, 1DIN radio, halogen lights and fabric seats the car is way to pricey for the Malaysian market at least. Not when you have to fight against the more 'empty' Vios, City, Almera, Forte, Altis and Civic.

I would rather go for the Polo 1.2L TSI with its more powerful Euro 5 engine, 7 speed DSG and better safety specs at only about RM 118K (OTR with insurance & tax).

But another overpriced VW is the Golf TSI which i think at RM 162K (OTR) is too expensive for a 1.4L turbo and specs on offer.

But the issue on abalone is much more subjective compared to cars as specs and engine performance can be measured and compared.

Yes im aware of the rebates. Even the Golf has some good rebates. But im comparing prices in general not just because its year end and VW wants to clear 2012 stock.

I swipe my HSBC card for even RM20 purchase where possible not because i can't afford to pay cash but because i want the points.

How does a longer service interval save money for the manufacturer? I would think that car manufacturers make more money from specifying shorter service intervals which is why Honda kept theirs at 5,000km even for fully synthetic until only recently when they couldnt take the pressure of other makes offering min 10K.
