QUOTE(darlyn @ Apr 9 2009, 12:00 AM) on highway like from kl to penang and fully loaded wif stuffs... 1.6 ok kah ?? i dun race.. n drive very slow.  Added on April 9, 2009, 12:02 amis there any 1.8t version?? The one i show is a 1.8T auto example with turbo replacement,power is over 200hp Not bad for a sissy car actually Plus the boost come in early so this car is very streetable I think yellow hard to combine but thing with beetle is hard to find a rim suitable for it

power is subjective.. for some ppl will be enough, for some will be underpowered

One need to realise that CBU cars if manufactured in Europe are subject to strict EU regulations on environment conservation. So 90% of the plastic/fiber components for the interior are degradable material. Even the glue used. Probably certain interior parts would start falling apart after 10 yrs.

darlyn: so have you bought your beetle?
the 1.6 is really underpowered
i have found a few 2.0 yr 00 to 01 onwards... selling at 80K++
i think its wiser to get a used one

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Just drove a brand new 1.6 today... just have a short drive since is not my car.. wrote a very very mini 1st impression on the new Beetle. Hopes will have another opportunity to properly test it again before the actual fair comments / review for it.
