[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 351391, member: 4527"] I had a chance to take a GTI out for a spin.. a little disappointed though. 1. Power punchy but not smooth, un-refine, raw, driving the car very tension, stressful. Power come very strong and fast, need to be alert at all time, even at "D" mode. Makes me appreciate the BMW "civilised" power delivery a lot more! 2. OEM rear muffler sound pretty Ah Beng hearing from the inside, the humming makes me very uncomfortable. 3. The tyre 18" too bumpy, worst then my 17" RFT. Suspension is hard. My heel on the driver floor board can feel the floor board rattles on uneven road surface. Very disturbing. 4. Obvious understeer when pushing in corners. Other factors that put me off: 1. The 18" tyres will cost a bomb to replace! 2. The 18" wheel I doubt can survive Malaysian road, got to scan for pot holes when driving... how to enjoy? 3. The driver side lower dash compartment is a total plastic like Wira.. Hollyshit! Should fit a boy racer's bill nicely.. but for a 40 years old fella like me.. a little immature.. just my personal opinion. [/QUOTE]
