if vw malaysia were to import this from SA, remember, its not gonna be as cheap as p1 cars due to our monstrous import duty and taxes, how much would you pay for the normal 1.6 VeloCiTi and the 1.8R? i feel it'll be around 50k – 55k when considering the naza bestari in comparison (which is a newer but local assembled car but also superseded model). imho, it shouldn't touch 58k as this car's development cost is probably paid up years ago already… much like the saga.

I can say any VW cars quality control is more better then any Proton new car… My father is still using the old VW beetle 1971 until now. And the old air cooled caburatted boxer 1.6L engine still running well until today.. Is already over 35 years and i think even Proton Saga are hard to last until 30 years… And i think the P1 engine already overhauled a few dozen times lolz…

This is a horrible looking car plus it's an old design. You can't pay me to sit in the car.

common Paul, wat VW produced, was an icon. What Proton did was utter rubbish.

Anyway, i do really hope Proton could re-launch the Satria GTi (the one based on Mitsu Cyborg) and had an updated interior, better engine perhaps 185hp, and perhaps RWD, or Turbo charged …. haha too greedy thou…

Well, cos it's south africa… like Malaysians getting the 20 year old Saga… at least this Golf's interior has better build and it comes with Cd player.. and comes with newer engines.. unlike Saga.. cassete player.. still in the 80s.. and still the super old engine.. duh… automakers seems know how to make big money using old stamping machines eh…

By: proton GL

proton GL — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 18:02:04 +0000

the other side of the story,,clear the dust of the old stamping machine and put into use

(jimat), but this ageing design not as body rigid as its modern brother i belive,… lighter and utilitarian, ……kesian south african,

i always dream of mark 1, in convertable, its the most beautiful covertable for my standard, caaaant belive vw reincarnate this, so suprised

but what i do love the most vw is its old beetle ,so frustrated when they ceased its production not long ago in brazil/ or mexico,,brazil i belive, just love the old beetle with curved front wind screen, coil spring suspension, more injected engine,(the vw 1303 or 1600) but cant really got it of course.. ends up with flat wind. screen 69 beetle, years ago ,anyway sold it …

i like to see vw consder the copy of original old beetle again. with modern engine and suspension, and safety features,
