Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 E35 5dr (A) Review

The original hot hatch, the Golf GTI, is now approaching middle age, but it sure as heck still knows how to throw a party.

All in One `

Of all the performance cars I have owned, this is one that I like most. It has a sunroof which I have a fetish for since the old Civic SiR days which I did not own at all but drooling over one:p. I would rate it a 11/10 and I would like to own another one anytime any day. It was a value for money car as I only paid $7589 for the COE in 2008. Yes, 7589:p

A class of its own `

I guess everyone reads about faulty DSG 7 speed on 1.4 tsi Scirocco, golf etc..i make a switch to this 2.0 GTI that use DSG 6 speed which most people will trust. Indeed, no problem was surface out since delivery. almost 4.5 years and 80,000km down the road. regular servicing of DSG and engine oil to keep it healthy. I expect the new Golf 7 GTI will be even better!

Desirable `

I'm sure people know Autocar UK; a respected magazine. They test, on average, 52 cars; one a week. At the end of each year they have a compilation (summary) of all the road tests they did for that year. In that compilation they tell you of all the troubles they had with the cars they tested. In one such a case a few years ago,of all the 52 cars they tested not one Japanese or Korean car gave any kind of problem that rendered the car undrivable. The European cars were guilty of all the major problems. In fact it was a GOLF which threw a conrod! Go figure.

Good car but the pricing ... `

I test drove it recently and was impressed overall with the car. It seems so well put together, a good balance between sportiness and practicality. However regarding the price... i checked the pricing and it seems VW Singapore is having a margin of 41%. I checked the margin for similar cars in the market: Audi A3 models : 34-36% Audi A4 models : 34-40% Mercedes C : 25-35% Mercedes B Class : 16-24% Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 : 33% So i wonder why VW Singapore has such a high margin versus similar luxury models. Anyone with insights? I really like the car but i dont feel good to be over-charged.
