easy tune up.

as for the colour, it has been proven that White stands out more than black or silver etc. contrast effect is very high.

i like my cars white too, only thing is easy dirty. nvm, wash once a week! lol.

why didn’t VW do this in the first place?

—————————————-

VW as a manufacturer is worried about many things, including longterm durability, warranties, standards., costs, fuel consumption and emissions.. there are just so many things they need think about. the cars are launched somewhat detuned.

most cars that come from the factory from any manufacturer, can always benefit somewhat in terms of power with just a little bit of tuning.

VW Malaysia should bring in the Scirocco. Volvo has already brought in the C30, and Renault has the R26.
Judging from the popularity of the Proton Satria, 2 door models are not ‘lifestyle’ anymore, and therefore should not carry to much of a premium over their 4 door siblings.

well, for a start, there is a hell of a lot more competition in the UK. They have no reason to make it affordable to the malaysian market, as someone spending 200k for a vw golf GTI is unlikely to be very price sensitive, and a ‘coupe’ being somewhat rare, is likely to be more sought after by people wanting a sub 300k european “sportscar”

white is definitely in. haha jeremy clarkson has been saying this for the past 2-3 years. personally i like white because it provides more contrast and accentuates the colour of the brake/signal lights, detailing etc.

why should it be sold at a premium when the car is the same price at the gti in UK?

Paul Tan says: That’s just how the product planners work/think here. Look at the Honda Jazz vs Honda City. Anything that doesn’t seem practical (2 door, hatch, etc) they will peg it as a “lifestyle” buy that can carry a premium.
