Juliansi.blogspot.com's Test Drive experience
This was my first drive in the legendary VW Golf GTi @ the VW Experience in Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. I had previously driven the Mk III and Mk IV in the UK, but in more humble guises, eg. 1.4 and 1.6. It was worth the wait ... bloody exciting!!
Getting comfortable is quite easy in VW Malaysia's Golf GTi, which comes very well equipped, settling in into the semi-bucket seats, with electric adjustments.
The Golf GTi manages to be many things ... Beautiful yet non-ostentatious (Reminds me a little of the people's car, also a VW, the Beetle!), sexy yet discrete, powerful yet comfortable, firm yet corners nicely ... Fabulous!
I have to say, I do like the GTi more then the R32, especially as a day-to-day car, hmm ... but that Turbo does kick in rather strongly, one has to be light on the throttle.
Excellent test drive, I want one!!
