QUOTE (Madbomb3r @ Nov 29 2012, 11:52 PM)  Yes but speed isn't everything. Sirocco was my first choice initially to be honest but the dsg problems made me change my mind. Features wise gtc is comparable to scirocco except no keyless entry (which is not a need to me). Tried the veloster turbo as well but the ride wasn't as sweet as the gtc and somehow it looks weird to me (no offence to veloster owners). peektures please!

QUOTE (Akula @ Nov 30 2012, 12:16 AM) Buy the car that you fancies. No need to justify ur decision, action to others. There is more to motoring then 0-100km/h. Dun bother about others' opinion, for any car u buy, there will always be someone who thinks u should have chosen another, made a poor choice, waste ur money etc....... Enjoy ur ride, it's a cool car. Did u opt for the 20" rims? Hahah I didnt as I will be driving a lot so not feasible for me to do so! Yea but the 20" rims is damn nice! |

QUOTE (Leafable @ Nov 27 2012, 09:44 AM) DO NOT TOUCH OPEL/VAUXHALL! You will get burn. Owned Astra MK5 and Corsa D. Both have lots of problem. You've been warn! Yes 5 years warranty are great for your wallet. However your car probably spend more time in the garage/workshop than on the road....... Mind sharing what were the problems you faced? Asking, cos I owned several vauxhall (in the UK)and Opel. None were problematic & all, except 2, were/are high mileage eg. Average 30k-40k per year. |

None were problematic & all, except 2, were/are high mileage eg. Average 30k-40k per year. Of course mate. Start with the Astra 1.7 diesel. Brake servo gone after 50k miles. Alternator fail. Less than 3 years old. Now the Corsa 1.3 diesel. Climate control fail (stuck at hot). Oil sump leaking (gasket need replacing). Less than 2 years old. All the above cars are brand new when I bought them. Some of my mate one have turbo failure, water pump, gearbox & clutch problem. My opinion is Vauxhall/Opel are not very far from been Citroen/Peugeot lemon. Because thats not a lot of people own these car in Asia thats why thats not a lot of news on them. I'll stick with my top 2 cars I've ever own. Nissan Leaf & Toyota Prius. Nothing come close to these car. Bye bye Euro trash. This post has been edited by Leafable: Dec 1 2012, 08:09 AM |

Nothing come close to these car. Bye bye Euro trash. Looks like you really have to distance yourself with the make  My experience has been quite good so far. Even the beat up vauxhall corsa B I bought for £700 over a decade ago was good for 30,000 miles in a year, without any problem, until I traded it in for another car (before corsa b was to go for MOT). In Singapore, I have 2 opel (minus the vauxhalls my family had in the '70's) since '04. Each clocked around 30,000km/yr and both have no major problems at all...just the usual wear and tear item like belt, lubrications, etc. This post has been edited by Silver_blade: Dec 1 2012, 10:13 AM |
