Golf GTI & R is supposed to be the best hatch there is. But somehow it is not passing a lot of stupid reviewer tests. People still go towards Type R or GR Corolla.

Almost no no talks about Megane RS these days. The 1st version RS250 is still good, but the price still hovers around RM70K. I think this one is probably a better deal than most used hot hatch. 2.0L with turbo and 2 doors.

The WRX is no longer the 90's WRX STI when Colin McRae won with it. There are no longer STI version of WRX from what i read. It is a capable car no doubt. But its not going to win stupid reviewers test.

For the moment if you have RM300-400K to spare on a hot hatch, its either Type R or GR Corolla.

Is there any legit workshop other than tan chong that can deal with renault sports cars?

Or tan choong themselve are still the best nevertheless?

Saw some clio rs floating in the used market and the price was quite tempting, just worried about being french likely they are many things to fix and cost a bomb.

Type R is a lot more expensive... got money this is the one to get.... FL5 or FN2 also bagus

GTI and R you get VW reliability....

GR Corolla/Yaris can get first then talk.... but 3 cyclinder engine, bring to track syok la, drive often susah sikit.

GR86/BRZ also bagus, price also coming down, but got RTV sealant issues
Previous gen very cheap now, but no power

Hyundai N... lot or eletronics, takut rosak pula

French car, duwan to be good fren with tow truckie

hence why ppl buy this....

kinda regret didnt buy the previous gen VA WRX, thinking the new model is probably better but this is kinda lemony

because the latest MK8 have terrible interior and user experience. and it's not a major leap compared to MK7.5 when it comes to driving

Macha, for a golf, it’s not just about the power numbers la, it’s about the whole car chassis, the driving dynamics, the FEEL of the car.

Apa u compare some subaru xv or whatever wx or xzx with golf, a car that has been worked on for 30-40 years, a car that’s the pinacle top model for Volkswagen (who owns audi, lambos and a shitton of other lux car make).

Like it or not, a VW Golf has all efforts poured into it, making it the best car in vw lineup, hell the price for vw golf r is 430k before OTR ok, and u won’t even have stock even if u got money buy now, golf has all the trickle down r&d from their other lux subs. Open an audi bonet and you’ll see lots of part is used for vw, open vw bonet and lots of part is audi. Of course only talking about golf r la.

And, corolla GR? I don’t even need to type anything, ownself go see review.

Mau compare this car, go compare with vw tiguan ker, toyota camry ker or someshit like that la… don’t go into a proper driver’s car category ok

he still wants to compare, u blow?
