difference between mk6 and 7 is minimal. only the audio system is upgraded to touchscreen.

golf is a good car to be modded.

if u like to mod cars is a wise idea to save rm 60k and get a used mk6 gti ?

Hey guys, any mk7 owner here? I saw a lot of bad complaints about DSG problem. Anyone experiencing the DSG problem in MK7? Service wise I roughly have the idea dy =D

Mine since last year is still awesome. Heavy footer driving style most of the time.

Tradition is one thing but leathers do give a sense of premium despite of its drawbacks. I think half-leather, half-fabric seats should be a good compromise.

100% the new GOLF GTi MK7

i heard its over 300 horse power ?

Thats why VW sells both variants now, you can choose between the leather and fabric seats in the Golf GTI Mk7.

Erm i mean mixed leather-fabric in one car. As in, fabric for the parts in contact with our body (butt, back) and leather for the non-contact areas (door panels, sides/back of seats). That way, one isn't "forced" to choose one variant over the other.

You dig up this old thread just to ask such an ancient question?

Its for Golf R Mk7

I DIDNT DIG UO AN ANCIENT question bro. Just survey before buy it. Not to say VW is not reliable but go to the fb VW U'll know. Just wan to justify tq

But 210k , you can choose a lot of cars in the market

Mercedes Benz A200/250 sport which cost a little higher 10-20k i think

Then BMW 125i ?

Renault clio rs 200 ?

Also why volkswagen ? any reason you insisted this ?

I do see a lot people tune their golf easily , maybe thats the reason ?

it's like an all rounder between bmw and merc. comfy yet powerful and it's fun too

watch Driven#3 to get an idea why the GTi is still a legend.

Often copied. Never equal

well odd that vw malaysia din import small number of gti in manual gearbox.

1) Golf GTI Mk7 is cheaper than the A250
2) Golf GTI Mk7 is more powerful than the A250
3) Golf GTI Mk7 is a lot more comfortable than the A250 (the A250's suspension is too harsh)
4) Golf GTI Mk7 is cheaper than the BMW 125i
5) Golf GTI Mk7 is more powerful than the BMW 125i
6) Golf GTI Mk7 is better looking than the BMW 125i
7) Merc A250 is the best looking among the examples you gave
8) Golf GTI Mk7 uses the 6-speed wet clutch DSG which has been proven to be reliable and better

* in terms of power and handling, the Golf GTI Mk7 is better on the track and can set a better time compared to the A250 and 125i.

Not much experience with
