Finally! Some noise from the malaysian Mk V owners!
I see probably a dozen Golf Mk V everyday on my way to work in Jalan Gasing.
KL has a nice number of Rabbits running around - seems that everybody's doing really well in the stock market. LOL.
Not that I'm an owner nor will be one in the near future - blame the crazy price for a GTI - for the uninitiated, the price for a Golf GTI here is 300% more than in other countries. They're insisting that malaysians should buy from the national carmaker, the ailing-unimaginative-copy-cats also known as Proton. Notice how Proton Waja actually looks like a Jetta? Or the similarities between the Golf and Proton Gen2 (who in the world would give such a prosaic name to their car? Proton - Okay, probably Nissan too - with that Qashqai).
Pissed off doesn't nearly describe how I feel.
BTW, how much are you guys paying for a Rabbit monthly? 5 or 7 years repayment tenure?
Apologies. But GTI owners are like Mac owners/users: An enthusiastic crowd.
