Hi Guys,
Just a random comparison on both A250 and GTi, which one would be a better choice? How long is the waiting list currently for A250 Sport? *Not sure whether it has been discussed before as most of the threads I see are just A250 vs (BMW Models) *The reason I'm comparing these two is because the price is about 10k difference (A250 & GTi [Tech Pack]) Feel free to express your views on both cars.   Thank you  |

On paper, performance seems to be more or less the same...
But I'd go for the Merc. Looks much better. |

How about the ride comfort, reviews stats that the Merz is quite stiff and harsh and is not suitable for daily drive. How true is that? Is it that bad?But I'd go for the Merc. Looks much better. |

Only the Brand "Mercedes Benz" already worth the price and a class above the VW!

Dunno liao..Not rich enough to bother going to test drive either car.  That's why I said on paper, coz I dont know how it handles. But Merc exudes much more class than VW. And the Merc on the road just looks so so good. |

VW already classed like Proton here. No thanks the DSG TFSI versions Golf. GTi no problem. I would go for Merc simply because its new as hell, more space, more better looking. But if i wanna smoke here and there with handing to boot, i would go for Gti because of short platform.

However the Amg A45 is really nice, it doesnt have full 1 touch launch control button, it needs to be done semi-manually... interesting...

they may be the same or comparable in any other thing,
but the AMG looks classy, while the Golf looks like a soccermom's car. |

If looks score high in your requirements, the A250 will have an edge. For everything else, I'm afraid the A250 will not fare better than the GTi. And of course, there is the badge argument.

And of course, there is the badge argument. and warranty as well...but you should be able to get about 20+k off for 2013 GTI so the choice is much easier if i'm blessed with having your dilemma  |
