So, the main purpose of buying a car is smoking each other?  tongue.gif
What about those Prancing Horse or Skylines driving in the middle lane? If you overtake them in a Myvi, can you claim that you actually
smoked them?  laugh.gif
I'll take the better handling and aesthetic Scirocco 1.4TSI any day and drive leisurely without lane hogging or hopping.
There are always others which are much faster. Sepang and Speed City is there for a reason.

Not to smoke each another. I think if everyone behave and give way on the road, it'll be leisure for more people.
Like today, I was going fast and approaching a two-door benz near PWTC, I did not signal or aggressive. He saw me coming, signals and move to middle lane. Thumbs up to him. thumbup.gif
He can choose to smoke me if he wants to, but he just wants to drive leisurely and give way immediately.

btw get the roc for the looks.
some say butt is ugly ( I think only certain angle) but every other angles looks way better than PGTI, no offense to PGTI owners. I also like the rear look of the Polo TSI/GTI. But I prefer Roc more , CC the best IMHO if you only refer to VWs.
unfortunately some VW SC sucks big time.

Scirocco has the looks, but still polo gti has better performance,, higher tuned in torque n bhp, 0-100 smoke de scirocco,,

anyway, if face value matter, scirocco is much more outstanding in terms of looks,, especially if u wanna impress ppl who dun know about cars, bcos ordinary ppl dunno wat is polo tsi n gti,, some ppl tot polo n golf is de same,, having scirocco, even datuk nenek know it looks sporty,,

Polo Gti is ugly, expensive (in relative to size) and small like kancil. I think TS should compare Golf Gti to Scirocco instead. However, hands down Scirocco wins in terms of looks. I think the mkt price for Scirocco is above RM200k. Dunno about second hand though.

When it was launched in Malaysia, only 130k++ then they increase to 160k. Imagine those who bought at 130k and selling it 2nd hand at higher price. Really Malaysia boleh :/

Frankly speaking, I don't know much about VW cars.

But this is as much I know, VW cars in Malaysia are overpriced. VW is a family car brand in Europe, Australia and USA but only in Malaysia, its treated like a luxury car. Gosh.

And beware of spare part replacements. If you get into an accident, *touch wood*, it may take weeks before the body parts arrive.

all cars in msia are overpriced.. VW priced premium is normal in oversea such as UK, Taiwan etc... in Europe, VW is consider premium over its rival (ford, peugeot) and also more expensive compare to its sister brand Skoda and SEAT... You can verify this by checking prices between Polo GTi, Fabia VRS and Ibiza cupra in UK..
Other countries might get cheaper VW models due to entry specs (non TSI and manual stick).. US uses NA engines and stick(small cc with turbo is less popular in US).. The spec we get are decent (not entry).. TSI and DSG dont come cheap.. In VW China is cheaper because of JV with locals and India get the entry specs with cheap plastic interior.. we got the better interior in msia

Passat CKD can rival with Camry 2.4 and Accord 2.4, even Mazda6 2.0 is stepping into Passat pricing.. this shows VW can be relatively competitive when CKD is introduced...
Mind you VW is #6 in malaysia in 2012 interms of sales volume, even cheaper Peugeot and Ford cant keep up.. VW now #1 continental in msia
Plenty of sales coming from promo and pre-reg campaign.. thats where owners get bargain deals from VW.. You still can find a decent priced VW everynow and then...

Spares for non-national cars not cheap also... bcos even parts also have to be tax, thats takdir of msia citizens..
Want cheap spare parts, buy P1 and P2..

I just amaze as how VW can be more expensive than Skoda when Skoda is using the same Tsi and DSG technology.

In Australia, my friend got his Polo Gti for $35k (3 years ago), so what is so premium about the car? Ok granted that VW can charge higher than its other competitors because all their models (except the Polo Sedan) got turbo but besides that its just an ordinary car with better transmission.

VWs here are priced somewhere in between the Toyotas and the BMWs. Isn't that regarded as luxury car? For eg the Jetta, rm150k? Do you think its worth that price? It looks like a C-segment sedan car. I mind as well buy the Mazda CX-5 at that price range.

I was just trying to be humble about not knowing much about VW cars, but that doesn't mean I am noob about VW.
