Almost 156 thousand ringgit and we get halogen reflectors
Boo VW !!! Booo !!!
Halogen refelectors are common among European cars. Its does not mean the car is of lower value. In some markets, halogen is preferred.
What’s the point of coming out with all these new models if the design of their gearboxes are not working properly? Only the ones with balls of steel dare buy a new VW nowadays with the bad reputation it has created. No thanks VW!
Kuinosan – you clearly dont know jack about VWs or gearboxes.
You’ll be surprised how much I know about the VW gearboxes. Well thats for another topic.
But my point here is that everyone including myself, knows VW have serious issues with their gearboxes.
Many of my pals have spat on their VW for spending more time in the workshop than on the roads. On those testimonial alone, one wouldn’t dare purchase these VWs, at least not here in Malaysia. A few of my friends use their courtesy cars more than their own ones. How scary is that?
Still VW sells better each year in Malaysia. So now the question is which is real news and which is “fake” news?
No adaptive cruise control for near 300k car? What is ‘Automatic Post Collision Brake System’ anyway? Collision and brake? I’m not blaming VW group. Their cars oversea have this ACC. VW malaysia is to be blamed.
ACC is present. Check out the car’s brochure. They did not list out everything here. Btw, these Golf’s have full security suites which are superior to other cars of higher value. I’ve been following the 7.5 for a while, so I have been keenly following its development and progress.
passat highline is selling now for rm180k. personally i would save 50k and get the passat instead of golf gti. both are sharing same drivetrain. passat has 3 zone air con, bigger interior space, bigger boot , power boot. golf gti only has a more advanced infotainment system.
Suprima s still better
Interesting Golf R
Looks like saga hatch to me
Wow VW is so skimpy with the rm155k sportline comes in so bare bone with:
– no reverse camera
– no keyless entry
– no start button
– no cruise control
– fabric seats
– halogen reflector headlights
Is VW still in the 90’s? Imagine paying rm155k for a car and get so much less features than a perodua or a proton.
Not to mention having to fork out more money down the road for the dry clutch DSG clutch pack replacement, whenever that is due.
Best of luck selling this golf here.
I waited so long for this GOLF 7.5 to launch in Malaysia & I also got my cheque book ready to put deposit for the new GOLF-R , but VW Malaysia disappointed me .. WHY ONLY 3 COLORS AVAILABLE FOR THE GOLF-R ? WHY THE PRE-FACELIFT COME WITH BIG SUNROOF BUT THIS 7.5 GOT NO SUNROOF ??
I might go for the F54 JCW Mini Clubman now ..
VW Golf good performance, very very poor after sale service at VW Glenmarie.
300k for a car that will spend most of them time in workshop. Nope
Does Gti or R comes with manual transmission in Malaysia?
anyone know where to install rear camera for MK7.5 in Johor
