Comments on: Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet previewed in video http://paultan.org/2012/12/21/volkswagen-golf-r-cabriolet-previewed-in-video/ Malaysia's Number 1 Source for Automotive News Fri, 24 May 2013 17:36:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: techhunter http://paultan.org/2012/12/21/volkswagen-golf-r-cabriolet-previewed-in-video/#comment-865580 techhunter Wed, 26 Dec 2012 06:12:38 +0000 http://paultan.org/?p=146935#comment-865580 I paid down payment (Passat Sport 1.8- as attached in this email) for my car on 25th November 2012 in Sungai Besi Volkswagen branch. I been promised to receive my car on 14th December 2012 after all my agreement on loan with bank completed. As Volkswagen is a reputable company, I take their words seriously and plan on my personal schedule. On 13th December 2012, I called the agent, to tell him my arrival time. I been told that my car will be only ready by 17th Dec 2012. Issue:- If there is a delay, why not inform me earlier instead of waiting me to call at night, only inform me. That is totally not professional.

On 17 Dec 2012, I took annual leave to come to collect my car, however 2nd disappointment kicks in, they told me various reason the car is not ready, I need to come on 19th Dec 2012. Issue:- Again if there is delay, why not inform me earlier? It wasting my real time / effort / money. Why my friend that purchase from another branch later than me, collected his car earlier than me?

On 19th Dec 2012, I contacted the agent, as I told him I will be there to collect my car, 3rd time disappointment kicks in, again he told me the car isn’t ready yet. Need another day till 21th Dec. I told him I got business trip to Singapore. I am planning to drive my new car there, because of the delay from Volkswagen, my trip again and again being delayed causing a lot of loss for my personal life / financing. Issue:- Again if there is delay, why not inform me earlier? Why such a service level been given to consumer?

On 21st Dec 2012, I took another annual leave to collect my car, 4th disappointment when the agent told me the car isn’t ready yet. Need to wait till 26th Dec 2012 (today) for my car collection.
On 26th Dec 2012, I took another annual leave to collect my car, 5th disappointment as the agent told me the car isn’t ready still. I need to wait until 27th Dec 2012.

This is totally unacceptable. Wasted merely 5 days annual leave (Around RM 3000 value), my promise to my company, my promise to my client, more than 2 weeks delay of my car (depreciation value), my holiday is affected. I am planning to travel with my family during xmas with my new car, as the planned is cancelled due to the mistake from Volkswagen.

Too bad they didn’t decide to put this Golf Wörthersee concept in production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chreIG-6NXo

they should take cues from the french on getting ‘the right elements’ in this short but sweet ad for the peugeot 208 gti:

This car is driven by families to hardcore racers.

Great car and tech. See youtube how vw manufacture their cars. Im impressed- the passion and detail going into this affordable engineering marvel (not so affordable here of course).

I drive a TSI Golf. I did my research everywhr before buying one. I even looked at camry then without the intention to buy but just to satisfy my buying decision.

Camry is a joke. Probably the con car of the decade based on its pricing and image perceived by typical fans.
