No more 5 years mobility guarantee for car bought this year onwards right?

I'm in the same situation as you.. Wanted to buy Honda city then noticed this VW sale.. I even test drive Jetta already but only got to know this gearbox problem.. N one of d forumer is right.. Feedback must be given by VW owner only can be reliable..

Read here n there n pretend to be some sifu is really not helping at all.. Or maybe can just go car mechanic shop n ask d mechanic lol.. See whether VW owner still complain or not

Frankly, at 88k it is very good price even though it is an outgoing model.

i'm the guy who got lemon unit everytime i buy something.

buy phone - 1st time screen problem, 2nd time gps problem, 3rd time cellular line problem
buy dslr lens - body cannot detect
buy pc - cpu fan failure, psu failure
and a lot more...

but i never have problem with my DCT. maybe it's too early because it's only been 6 months but mind you i bought it 2nd hand which i spend 2 months surveying the market. the car is 2 years old now and i checked with SC the car never changed it's clutch or anything major apart from regular service. it rarely jerks as i learned how to control my throttle now. i mean severe jerking. little jerking is fun IMO. i drove my dad's car for the first time after i bought mine last month but smooth shifting car makes me sleepy nowadays. all i'm saying is luck is also involved. pray to God before you purchase. hahaha. i'm willing to put my money on the line to get what i like but i know not all people are like that. so just follow your heart. and your mind a little bit. and your money.

Dunno....

tow truck fella told me, his number one customer is VW....

So... i advice u to go ahead and buy the VW cause I have lots of tow truck friends they cari makan susah

Whatever reason that you guys can think of not to buy the Polo/Jetta or Passat at those prices are pretty much invalid because of how cheap the car is now. With the warranty covering the major components of the car for 5 years and even factoring in all maintenance related cost, the car is still cheaper to own than any cars of the same and bigger competing segments

but too bad... if you looking only the questions posted by those potential VW buyers... at this price point.... most of the intended buyers now are hoping to buy it with the mindset it is reliable and lesser worry just like owning a Jap B or C-segment full spec car.... everyone asking the same old shit... reliable? DSG? even with warranty coverage i think they just want a car with less hassle of constantly going to visit the SC...the issue here are rather on their mindset really.... just my 2 cents...

got warrantyt so what?

every once awhile masuk SC for 1 week, u no car use 1 week...

Or holiday u go outstation with your family.. rosak tepi jalan...

syiok ka?

Fulamak, dengan penuh panas baran dia

Haha calm down

Agreed!

Hi,
I didn't just drop by and simply throw my question without Google it, I just hoping someone in this forum gives me an actual view after so long, did VW fix the issue after changing the mineral oil. RM88k is not small money people like me.

This is what I really worried about... I have my friend who purchases Polo sedan, it's almost 7 months in SC due wind noise issue. Now the car sends to Pekan. Anyhow the good side of Malaysia VW, they do gives him another Polo Sedan for temporary use until his car back.

Then you buy back Japanese car if it is really something that concerns you - the reliability.

But at 88k & 110k+, I really don't have much reason to not take the leap of faith. And at those prices, you pretty much have to accept whatever problems or not, the car has to give.

Whether or not you want to take that chance is entirely up to you. But if you do, then can't complain.

7 months in SC due to wind noise issue??? Why dont he use his car 1st? Wow...just wow. My jetta clutch wear out & jerking also can drive around for 3 weeks & then part come in to replace.
No wonder more serious issue or breakdown dont get courtesy car. Wind noise issue higher priority.

i just recently purchase a polo sedan before cny and so far so good. =)

just put in the perspective la.

Jetta is a C Seg car, albeit a little cramp at the back seats. It comes with a powerful engine, with tonnes of bell and whistle.

For a comparison, both Altis and Civic (the bigger ones) is nearly 130k, while Hyudai Kia offered their's around 120k.

A price different of 30k, distributed annualy for 5 years, is RM6000 worth of AL, NPL or what ever leave you need to take for the car.

The jetta on offer is a 2014 jetta, it does sound like a steal for 88k, but bear in mind it's a 2 year old car even though it's in brand new condition with 5 years warranty upon purchase.

Whereas the price you've stated for the japanese and Korean cars are new stocks manufactured and sold in the same year.

so if anyone who's considering buying a VW on promotion, please also consider that the maintenance cost is not lower than a sub 100k Japanese or Korean vehicle. it is still a 130+ k vehicle to maintain.

actually dont worry..... there are plenty of malaysians outside bought VW bcuz of the pricing and doesn't think like what I mentioned above..... those who asking here are those that shouldn't buy it.... bcuz of the mentality.... 88k.... woah... so I must compare Jetta vs City full spec or Vios ful spec.... trust me.... when you look back... they reli do.... when you comparing this way... just fucking buy the Jap cars for your peace of mind.....
