Quite equal but the Black Monster more brutal while White Horse is more subtle in delivery. I think I prefer the kick.

Funny, Skoda is position below VW by VAG so it does not make sense to price it higher than a comparable VW. It is like pricing the E classe over the S Classe.

I am thinking of sending my car to MTM for some happy stuffs but I dunno if that'll void the warranty (apparently so) but Audi can MTM and MTM is one the authorized tuners for VAG.

That one I also dunno. But VW buyers should drop by Skoda and take a look. They offer more toys in the cars too. Pity the exterior takes abit of getting used to.

I think MTM is based in Premium Automobiles,

I heard that any Audi who want MTMed have to sign on agreement that stated warrienty is void b4 the mod.

Chipping up with mtm at PA, will void the factory warranty. But they will provide their own equivalent warranty

Hi

 

Been contemplating getting a VW jetta but quite concerned about how serious the 7 speed DSG problem is. I would say its the only thing stopping me now. VW sales guy said its those ppl who mod (chip) the car. But what i heard from others is even not chipped also have problem. Every 1 or 2 month have to visit workshop. And their after sales is not fantastic either.

 

Anyone here can share?

 

Don't get sucked into this VW onslaught...

 

All those i know who's driving with the 7-spd dry clutch DSG kpkb.

Hmm. I wouldn't do that..last time I felt my 1.6 Koup was let down by the weight of the car, I don't think the 2.0 will be any better in terms of performance, plus the resale of a 2.0 Koup isn't much higher than the 1.6.

 

I guess if you have the budget for VW, there are certainly many options you can consider out there.

 

Err...Where got other options that can give 160/240 @ < $130k?

Peugeot 308? I believe cheaper than Jetta but also have some reliability issue and not sure whether discon in SG cos go to sgcarmart under new cars -> peugeot, they only list 308cc, no 308. Maybe can consider 3008, only slightly more ex than jetta but again, have some reliability issue.

 

Citreon DS3 THP dun like and i want 4 door, tired of 2 door liao. Opel not even listed anymore. Skoda, dun like.
