ER-3682 Supersonic November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 It is a just matter of time the problem recurs again. Like a tickling time bomb..

Been there done that. It is no fun. Maybe I should consider the new Mazda 6. I would prefer the specs to be at least more than 200 Nm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuan 6th Gear November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 gti perhaps? I don't mind a GTI. Especially the MKV. But I like to revert back to a saloon for my next car. So a GLI would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbx750p 1st Gear November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 I was considering the Jetta as a replacement for our family car, but down at the showroom, the CO expressed more interest in the Golf instead. Would appreciate feedback from the bros and sis driving the current Golf. In particular, Internet has a lot of negative reviews about the DSG gearbox. Does anyone driving the Mk 7 Golf have any issues so far? Thanks in advance. The Golf 7 is a good choice but please go for the top end model 1.4 TSI with Navigation, Xenon Headlights, Self Parking etc. This is because it is not possible to retrofit these items after the car is produced. Many Bros have expressed regrets not getting the top end model as they subsequently found that the Base or Comfort model is too plain. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyke Supercharged November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 The Golf 7 is a good choice but please go for the top end model 1.4 TSI with Navigation is the built-in navigation that good? comes with lifetime free map updates? it is almost always better to use aftermarket GPS or apps like Waze...

This car lacks of a problem free transmission,a 6 or 7 speeds "Torque convertor" type of gearbox will be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbringer 6th Gear November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 The Getrag EDC "dual clutch" dry box seems to be much more robust. Tried one on the new Mondeo, very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 2.5 got 252 Nm...but sadly,produced @ 3250 Rpm.. At 3250 rpm, the engine would be "singing" and not very often you need that range of rpm when we drive on Singapore roads. My torque peaks at 1250 to 2000 rpm.

Just have to take care and look out for warning signs of wear and tear, don't just drive without being aware because there are more sensors and electronics. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conti will be something different from the regular japs or korean. however, I reckon their cost of repair/ replacement parts are higher ........ :) Saw one golf thnk 2008, selling cheap due to COE is $2........ :) http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=442022&DL=2626 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
