GTI - because the GB is simply more reliable and its a GTI.

Guys, I wonder if you put Ron95 or Ron97 is your cars? Just got myself a 1.4 Scirocco.

BHP's RON95 to my Mk6 GTi. Good enough for me, performance wise and cheaper too

Anyone tried kumho ku39?

Hi all, I have some problem with my bluetooth, can't connect my phone (Note 2) through it, can't search on it.
Wonder how to activate it...
And the USB when charging the phone is seems not stable, connect and disconnect...
Anyone facing this issue?

Do you turn on visibility on your Note 2?

Oh well, newer features, lower price tag.

2014 Polo Sedan

Was actually expecting more, but, oh well. It's a VW.

Down these two? Coz i want to try and drive Europe/western car coz my car at the moment is a latio and it served me almost 5 years ady. So i think more or less if i opt for accord/camry will be a same coz its still in the same cup of tea. my inportant to me of coz ride and handling with stiff feel on wheel and maybe a bit 'showoff' a bit

2014 Polo Sedan - RM86,888
2013 Vios G - RM88,500
2013 Preve LE - RM79688
2013 Almera VL - RM79813

For me I'll go for PS for the badge, Vios for reliability, Preve LE for styling and Almera for VFM.

Let us know what is your decision after you have test driven the Peugeot 508. You will be able to determine which vehicle you like better after you have test driven both and looked at the interior, fit and finish and features, but in terms of reliability and after-sales service it is anyone's guess. I would say the VW would be much reliable than the French in the long-run, and not forgetting the unreliable Peugeot's after sales-service. Mechanics and used car dealers I have met only have bad words for Peugeot and French vehicles in general.

If talking about looks, personally I would think the Passat is a classier car than the Peugeot inside out if compared to the 508, though it's all a matter of preference. Ride and handling, you would be able to figure that out yourself after you have test driven both.

Accord and Camry, I would pick the Accord high spec. Although the Accord may lose to both Passat and Peugeot in areas of refinement, handling and overal luxury feel, Honda's after sales service is the main reason why most people still pick the Japanese over continentals. If the Accord runs into problems, spare parts are readily available and you will usually get your vehicle within a day after the mechanics have fixed it at the service centre. The same cannot be said with VW or Peugeot. VW is still a much safer bet than Peugeots. If Peugeots, you may need to leave the car in the service centre for several days or even up to weeks for the spare parts to arrive, or if the problem can be successfully addressed at the SC. Imagine the inconvenience without having a car for several days or weeks in the event of a mechanical failure. You won't get this with the Accord, or the Camry.

Good luck.

By the way, Latio to the Passat/508, quite a big jump. If you are driving alone most of the time and back space is not important to you, you can consider the Ford Focus Titanium high spec. The handling is way better than the Nissan, and higher league than the Passat too. It only loses to the Passat in overall refinement in the engine/gearbox performance and NVH, but in handling and steering feel it is better than Passat and likely the 508 too. But if you have teenage kids or back space at the back and rear legroom are important to you, then you can scratch the Focus out.

yaya, i did... but also cannot connect...
and what's the password to connect when can pair on it???

Yeap! U r absolutely right. Actually the purposed of buying this car is for outstation/holidays/weekend car and not everyday car. Tired drive latio ady and hope it can serve me well in the next 5-7 years.

My wife not very interested in accord even though its look more gorgeous than it predecessor i like Japs cars anytime with worrying free and a peace of mind. For passat the one and only set back for me is the realibility of DSG gearbox that has been hot topic ever since. Could somebody can convince me bout the dsg thing than i will happy

from recent events, reliable DSG would be the 6 speed wet ones on volkswagen cars with engine 2.0 & above

suggest to use Ron 97.. Better use Ron 97. One of my friend who working in SHELL said the sale of Ron 97 has increased. More people are finding the advantages of Ron 97, you can get extra miles in long run

In that case, 7speed DSG with 1.8cc is not reliable.... sigh.. and when i read through vw malaysia fb page, so many negatives view on the after sales service and can say all cars if got problem and need to repair it will take up to 3 months futhermore they not very keen to help us to overcome the problem.

i also have the same dilemma

Don't know how true are the negative views. I don't think all cars will need a waiting period of 3 months to repair. It depends on the problem, likely an isolated case?

If you want to play safe than perhaps the Accord, Teana or Camry would be safer choices.

third party will void the car warranty or not?
