Here it is guys... And i think it looks ... if you look closely at the side profile, its merely just a major reconstruction of the nose and rear end. The rest of the car is the same although the interior is brand new. Wonder how the GTi and R32 will look like...

CNA report : Golf: Woods will become world's first billionaire athlete by 2010 Posted: 10 July 2008 0907 hrs NEW YORK - Tiger Woods is on pace to pass one billion US dollars in career earnings by 2010, becoming the world's first billionaire to accumulate his fortune by playing sports, says Forbes Magazine. The 14-time major championship winner earned 115 million US dollars in 2007 alone, said the American magazine which annually ranks the world's richest people with its Forbes' Celebrity 100 list. English footballer David Beckham was the No. 2 sportsman on the list with earnings of 65 million US dollars."It will be an unprecedented occurrence," the magazine said. "There are plenty of billionaires who have excelled at sports like Switzerland's richest man and champion sailor Ernesto Bertarelli. But there are no billionaires who accumulated their fortune by playing sports." The magazine goes on to say in its Wednesday edition that while tycoons like Bill Gates accumulated his wealth by holding a stake in a company with soaring profits, Woods is unique because his massive fortune was earned through pay cheques. Woods is a sports marketers' dream, having earned more than 750 million US dollars in endorsement deals to date in his career. At 32, Woods has won 50 tournaments faster than any player and is closing in on Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championship wins. I want to play golf......

Today's Life section mentioned that this new car will be available from end Sept 2008. Price at S$85.8k. This is basically to replace the out going Golf 1.6FSI. This car is also the 1st car to have this new 7 Speed DSG new gear box with dry clutch. It can cruise at 90km/h at 1800 RPM....seems good What do you guys think? Do we need 7 speed in Singapore? http://www.channel4.com/4car/rt/volkswagen/golf/16740/2 http://www.channel4.com/4car/gl/volkswagen/golf/16739/6

http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=44&PN=1 TTS' latest project is a re-chipped Bravo T-Jet to 185hp and 272Nm - it's quite nice, but I hope they do something to the hopelessly light steering and pedals :S Gave the Golf GT quite a scare...hehe Ignore the car info listed in the article below. It is not quite ready/correct yet. The car costs $2000 more than the standard T-Jet and comes with bigger rims/original body kit. Any feedback appreciated!

anyone to comment if its worth getting this dsg version? or go for WRX auto instead?

Make no mistake - The VW Golf is a great car - timeless design, quality interiors, iconic GTi image and that fantastic price tag so if you bought one with extra cash you saved for your old age - you can expect some form of exclusivity - right? - wrong! With the MK6 Golf looming in the coming months as a completely new model over the current Golf Mk5 - MAN! is VW is really CASHING IT IN!! The basic golf has today spanned an amazing range of engine variants and body types to attract all kinds of buyers For starters, if you bought a basic Golf for Camry money a few years ago - You are guaranteed a dull image b/c the GTi just looks so much better - and guess what? There seems to be so many more GTis then basic Golfs on the road - and basic Golfs are not cheap! If you bought a mind retardingly expensive Golf R32 that came with that super exclusive silver front end - rest assured - VW - is now selling a car - with the same super exclusive front end - as the cheapest Golf derived VW branded family car money can buy! - So budget buyers! Corolla or Jetta? Corolla or Jetta..Corolla or R32?...wait a minute...hmmm... Wait wait - one more trick out the VW hat! - The iconic GTi has also spawned an unwanted younger step brother - also known as the GLI! - A Jetta with a 2L Turbo and more importantly - the FACE of the iconic GTi! (now..now..we never said that GTi face was sacred right??)- and guess what? Its CHEAPER too!! Flame away!

Saw the Golf GTI Limited Edition at Vivo city last weekened. It is going at $109,800. Remembered the selling price of the GTI was usually at 127-128K. So went up to talk to the SE how come they can offer it as such an attractive price. The SE told me this limited edition was basically the same car as the usual GTI except that it will come only in fabric seats(no leather seats), no electric seats, no xenon lights and absence of some other minor features. The OMV is 27.3K. Usual OMV of the GTI is around 31K. The difference in the OMV translates to cost difference of about 9K or so for the dealer but they reduce the price by abt 17K. One more thing, there will be only 50 units of this for sale and they all come in red only. The SE also said that the price would be reduced by another 1K if one is getting a min 50K loan or more. I thought it is quite worthy of consideration for those who wants the GTI experience but dun mind having no leather seats and other minor features which does not affect the car performance. Anyone getting it??

Hi Guys, Want to get your feedback on the above two cars(overall, including engine performance); the remap Bravo 185hp v/s the Golf GTI 200hp. I drove both at different times, and the GTI seems more torquy while the Bravo seems more responsive(maybe because I was controlling the gear on the manual). The Bravo also looks classier, but the GTi looks more luxurious....

Does the HU (RCD 300) plays read cdr and cdrw? In addition, does it reads Mp3?

Need to pick up this game due to work. any recommedation? brand? budget $200-$300 as not sure whether will i like it or not. where to get a good and cheap 2nd hand set? thanks....

just curious to ask... there's supposed to be an uprated Golf GTi coming in this year with 227bhp... similar to the Ed30 one... anyone got news?

Wonder which recently launched hatchback would you choose, taking their slight different in prices into account. And did I miss out any great small cc hatchback?

Looking for Golf 4 GTi or Skoda Octavia 1.8t Front brakes Can swap + topup with my current Stoptech BBK and 18" ROH Modena Rims (pcd 5x100 offset should be 30 - custom rims to fit the BBK) Pls PM me... thanks!

went for a test drive, was told this car easily moddable to 200 plus to 300 plus bhp but dunno if the dsg can handle the extra power. and that the fc is around 11 km/l the car drives reasonably well and i like the styling but the price - vw makes at least 30k profit from one car - cut throat. any comments

Yeah baby..you heard it right..a Golf GTi with a 641bhp 6.0L Turbocharged W12 Engine..

Motoring @ AsiaOne 3-week old VW Golf GTI faces gearbox glitch Model has been available here since 2005, but glitch is said to affect only this year's batch. Christopher Tan Thu, Oct 11, 2007 The Straits Times HOMEMAKER Beverly Wong was overjoyed when her husband bought her a brand new red VW Golf GTI for her 38th birthday last month. Her euphoria lasted all of three weeks. Last Saturday when she was out with her hubby and 22-month-old son at around 5pm, the three-week-old $120,000 200-horsepower performance car got stuck in first gear. "It happened suddenly. Then the lights indicating the gear positions started flashing wildly, and we just couldn't get the transmission to change gear,'' Ms Wong said. "We even tried going to manual mode, by using the paddle shifters on the steering column.'' The GTI is equipped with a high-tech double-clutch semi-automatic transmission called DSG. VWs with DSG here include the Jetta, GT and R32. Volkswagen Singapore, the manufacturer-owned importer, distributor and retailer of VWs here, admitted that Ms Wong's car had a "gearbox failure", and that it was the second such case in a month. It was unable to say what the problem was, but said "DSG is a very reliable and solid gearbox and we have had minimal issues in the many cars we've sold so far". The Golf GTI has been available here since 2005, but the glitch is said to affect only this year's batch of cars. Up to September this year, Volkswagen sold 81 GTI's here. But the transmission breakdown was only half the disappointment Ms Wong felt. After calling the Volkswagen roadside assistance hotline, she waited half an hour for service personnel to arrive. They told her the car needed to be towed back to the workshop as it had a major fault that could not be fixed there and then. She was handed a taxi voucher; and was told that a tow truck would arrive within the hour. It turned up three hours later at 7.45 pm. She also complained that the company did not arrange a temporary car for her. "This is a premium car I bought, and it's barely 3-1/2 weeks old. They should have given me a temporary car to use,'' Ms Wong said. "We had a baby with us, and a lot of bulky things in the car, including a childseat.'' After haggling with Volkswagen Singapore, she finally got a replacement car, which arrived at 9pm. All in, she and her family wasted four hours of a Saturday evening. "I know mechanical things do break down. I was from the car industry, so I know,'' said the former staff of Audi distributor Premium Automobiles, fuming. "But Volkswagen should have helped make the bad experience a little more bearable. I am totally disappointed with their service.'' Volkswagen Singapore spokesman Deborah Chia said: "We view this incident with much unhappiness. We empathise with the customer and will rectify the situation immediately" ================= any comments on service from VW Spore ever since they took over from Cars and cars ? just want to know how good the after sales is like !

I've checked and the TT costs $192,000 while the GTi costs $103,000 (PI car). Which would you choose between the 2 bearing in mind that both share the same engine and gearbox. The 'Gaudi' costs almost 2x as much and has 2x lesser backspace than the GTi Just wanna see what people think.

Lets start a golf talk colummn..golfers and wanabee golfers please come in ..let's make friends and go play golf together Talk about anything to do with golf ie equipment,techniques and tips etc..
