Hi sifus,

Need your opinion on the above matter. I cant make up my mind to either get the POLO GTI or SCIROCCO TSI. Hopefully some owner can enlighten me with this matter. By the way I am looking to buy a 2nd hand unit. At the moment, still don't have kids yet.

Polo GTI is using the same 1.4 TSI engine, different is the engine is tuned for higher power, compare to other 1.4 TSI engine found on Golf and Scirocco.
*

I would say go for the scirocco. The look wins, and that's in my opinion. Aside from that, the 1.4 TSI in the scirocco can tune up too. What other interesting stuff that makes you consider Polo GTI?
*
pricing is cheaper and is with 4 door. but size wise is quite small. just like a viva. and polo GTI comes with DRL embedded with the head light.

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.
*
ya i take it leisurely sometimes. but occasionally when the power is needed. i think a 1.4 TSI can do its job by smoking most of the car except for supercar like GTR or ferrari.

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.
*
yes you are totally rite. driving a powerful car doesn't mean I need to smoke everyone....hahahha....

I do not try to smoke ppl but I get tonnes of cars trying to smoke me (mainly Myvi n Proton  and the occasional IS250).
of coz I let them pass coz I slow driver.
Golf n Audi drivers I encounter mostly civilized drivers, all driver slow slow.

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 :/
*
no choice lo.....coz those owner actually waited for quite some time for the car also.....they untung to drive lo....coz now 2nd hand is around the price that they bought.....hehehehe....

actually is not VW wanna increase.....i think is from the government.

my bro is driving a golf 1.4 TSI. actual price on AP is RM100k only. Tax take up 50% of the actual price. Which make it RM160k++ on the road. hahahaha.... what is this la....

Spot on.... arent malaysian paying overprice for Toyota and Honda too.. if you argue the car price is expensive due to exchange rate, you are saying we are paying much more that its actual value..

Thus, as I said in my earlier post, we all pay overprice cars in msia...

bro i totally agree with you. a Honda Jazz can cost more than RM100k just because is CBU from thailand. Talking about assembling in Malaysia and thailand. i would say the quality of finishing is almost the same.
