Which of you poor souls own a VW Golf GTi Mk6? No, this thread isn't meant to be offensive. If you're offended please get out.
Share some ownership thoughts. Yes, its quite unfortunate given the diesel gate scandal, the stupidity of the after sales and service in Malaysia (all done by 3rd party dealers and none by VGM). But other than that, what other cons are there to ownership?
This car isn't stupid fast, not very slow either. I guess one of the benefits is the aftermarket support. If you want to go fast the K04 option is always there.
I think the key issue with this car.. its too much of an all rounded, jack of all trades, master of none.
Want to go to the track? The Megane will eat you.
Want to go to the drag strip? The Megane will still eat you.
Want to look cool? Well you're just a Golf with a silly badge and some ricey bumpers.
But I guess, being a jack of all trades, means the girlfriend/wife can live with it, since its "automatic". It has 4 doors and can seat 4 adults comfortably. It doesn't look like a race car.
I've never felt particularly fast in the Golf GTi Mk5 (brother owns one). He floors it and I go "meh". And look at 335i and G37 eat the GTi with ease. Of course, in Malaysia we'd probably be facing uncles in 2.5L/2.4L Accord and Camrys.
And, omg, Honda Civic 2016 1.5L Turbo does 0-100 in 6.8 seconds. The Golf GTi Mk6 does 0-100 in 6.9 seconds. New cars are getting stupid fast.
Is that Honda Civic 1.5L T coming to Malaysia? Anybody here works in Honda Malaysia?
