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.

although they are roughly the same price, they are very very diffrent cars for diffrent segments of consumers.

GTI is for drivers...ppl who love to drive, love handling and performance

A250 is for more brand conscious ppl, a car to show neighbors that you have "arrived". I dislike the a250 interior because its too ah beng...the red aircon rings etc..and the horrendous small pop up monitor. The A200 has a more refined interior because of the brush aluminium instead of carbon/red trim

ahh yes. The 4yrs instead of 2+3. How can i forget that.

Yes. 20k+ off is possible. Not for the Tech Pack specified by TS though. These are very hard to come by, and when they do, they are instantly snapped up within days.

Actually the Golf R is just 247k for base spec...just 9k more then a A250, i think that should be the proper comparo smile.gif

I think the poll results speaks louder here. Performance is not always the absolute need, not to mention the A250 is not exactly losing out by a large margin. Talking about ride comfort, the GTI is not exactly soft either

the problem with the poll results is that its mostly 17 year olds who have never even driven the cars...just "merc is always better"

You tested both on the track?
What do u expect from a fan boy?  To compare a vw with a three pointed star ? Joke! Just imagine F1! Do I see vw?

err...

BMW is not in F1 - M3/M4/M6
Nissan is not in F1 - GTR
Porsche is not in F1 - 911/cayman/boxster
Subaru is not in F1 - Wrx STI

I would take the GTI over the A250 anyday

Oh please... why are you guys even replying in this thread if LYN FnF is for kids. And what is the point for a poll function in forums? LYN is the biggest online community in Malaysia, not biggest kids' community in Malaysia. And please do give a FACT & prove now that most LYN FnF users do not own or drive a car. Sick of these name callings & accuse of others not owning this car & that car... now you are a kid & I'm an adult, what is next? I am a king & you are a slave?

And heck, nobody is even saying the GTI is a bad car. Just that with the speed performance (even so a small margin) aside, it loses to the A250. However with such maturity level in your replies, only kids reply this way when they lose in a debate.
We have no prove and fact for that. And let's say there is a margin of error of 15%, still the poll results favored the A250.

just because the poll results favour a certain car doesnt mean its a better car. If we based cars on poll results or number of buyers, then Vious is the best car in Malaysia.

Theres nothing wrong with liking the A250 more, or the GTI more...but you cant say "See..Poll supports my choice..its FACT!"
