Isn't that what I said??

In sg, if ur car car even hit 100 in less than 4s, u will be beaten by........Traffic Lights

[Jlkl]

0.5l/km more than what u quoted.

SSS engine and chassis is from SX4 albeit with some tunings.

hmmmm how come no one talk about sss having semi forged internals as stock standard...? i would say itz value for $$ la, but to TS, comparing an iconic gti to sss is like comparing apple to orange leh...

SX4 was built based on the Swift's platform

that said, the Golf 1.4TSi 122bhp priced at 86k, is just way out of reach for most people...despite having a 1.4L engine it does only 13km/L real world driving...

 

the 1.4TSi 160bhp priced at 100k...that's the price you're paying for a camry...and it also produced that amount of power...yet the golf drinks at 8-9km/L...

 

My GTI is giving me ard 11 km/litre 50/50 mixed ! The 1.4 TSI bros reported 14 km/litre average. Wonder where you got your figures !

[Gary84]

definitely not as hot as the pre FL...i dun fancy its new look....abit pricey i tink...

 

Is 0-100km/hr 6.9s in today's standard still considered hot?

Many normal family cars can also achieve 8s for the sprint.

aiyah .... acceleration beyond a certain level is pointless. Sounds good and feel shiok only. Practically speaking, will not make much difference on the road beyond that level. For me, I feel that any acceleration (0-100km/hr) lesser than 9 secs is unnecessary, esp in Singapore roads

[Rubberdez]

care to share what mods u did to your SSS?

 

GTI is a hot car. In fact it's a silent killer.

 

Howcome no body mentioned about Fiat Bravo T-Jet 150bhp? no doubt GTI is impressive so as the price. In term of perfomance Bravo comes with 1.4l engine that power output at up to 185bhp & torque of 206N. And the price is much more lower and acceptable than GTI. Visit TTS at Sin Ming Drive to see for yourself

I personally prefer the mk5 to the mk6.

 

Also, Rubberdez, I think the golf, though carries a slightly heavy tag (abt $7k more) is justified. 160bhp/240nm, comes with little features

like electric driver's seats, leather seats, auto headlamps, auto rain wipers and my personal favourite, the remote boot release..

 

Don't worry, I'm not a saleperson from vw and neither do I own a golf..

I tested the Bravo and really didn't like the Selespeed automatic at all. Too slow and jerky in gear changing. Pity, because I really love the car's looks.

You have to drive like a manual when driving selespeed kind of gearbox car, only then would the gear changing be smooth...
