The beetle is a very "cute" car..
If u can afford a >RM100K car, is fuel consumption really a matter??  Go for a test drive, then u'll knw whether u like it or not.. The spec is also nice, and it's a cult car.. I went to 'feel' the car @ VW The Curve..it's nice~ For me, I'm not used to the huge dashboard..it's like there's a car in between u and your front bumper!  QUOTE(RCrex @ Apr 6 2009, 10:34 AM) i think ok gua, coz my mum din demand for so much Maybe it's due to the fact that your car is a recond?? we got it 5yrs ago from recond shop one of the worst nightmare car for me -.- i spoiled the dashboard after bought for a few week coz i tried to clear those sticky part -.- n then there's air cond foam blown out from the air cond vents even the door panel's door handle broke now that i don think my mom is powerful enuf to pull the handle till it break that's y i said this car is full of plastic quality stuff which don last long i duno if this thing will happen in never batches beetle o not for the time being  yet it's juz a lovely car if u hav $$$ to change anything once it broke down -.-  All the best to TS..  |

to me, the interior isn't that nice. not much to my liking and somehow doesn't feel high quality. if you're getting it, it's definitely for the beetle design and the VW logo

QUOTE(dARKaNGEl @ Apr 5 2009, 09:57 PM) just fyi. i went to the curve VW showroom today. they have a pre-registered golf gti Mk5 selling form 178,888. it was rejected by the buyer coz got a slight dent on the interior of the roof, so now selling at discounted price. it should be rm1946.59 for 9 years with 2.4% interest rate.the SA says can pay 6k DP and drive away the car with 2.9K installment a month for 9 years @ 2.4% interest. |

BTW all VW is CBU. Convertible water leaking ? yes most convertible or targa top car face same problem, no worry only minor issue can be solve by changing rubber |

darlyn,
as i mentioned, if u are just cruising around in town or highway... 1.6 will be fine... if u wan to "race", then 1.6 will be severely underpowered... but you are thinking of getting the 2.0 version... why not go for the 2.0 version then? the extra power will come in handy in the event you need it |
