Im not talking about that, okey... you dirty minded people. XD
See the car below...

...looks familiar?

Yeah, i guess you guys or girls have seen it before...

...there are a lot on the road! I always see them...
I think its a hot looking car, a sporty, hot and sexy hatchback... especially those in RED colour... They looks like they can burst into flames anytime as you accelarate...
Not till one day, JS dragged me out for a test drive on Monday. At the Volkswagen showroom in Glenmarie.
For your information, Audi, Bently, Bugatti, Skoda, Seat and Lamborghini are all under Volkswagen now *a.k.a as VW*.
So, i followed JS to the showroom after my Perspective Studies class ended at 1pm. While we were about to leave in JS's Merz, we realised that we were blocked by a silver Proton Waja, which was parked at right of the driver's seat. Not only tha stupid Waja, there was also a few other cars that was blocking the traffic. Such cases always happens in the area around the college. Stupid un-considerate people simply park their cars when they couldn't find a parking lot, blocking the other people.
JS bang the horn for a couple of times, still no one came out to move away the car. Not till...
when a police came out from the police station nearby, to slap a big, juicy piece of ''SAMAN" on their windscreen.
I cursed the offenders and it worked~ Lolz!
The Waja driver who was blocking us was smart enough to drive away right before the police reach his car... Bloody fatty, still dare to stare at us as JS gave him another horn as he drove away.
At 1st, we went to the Proton showroom. I was hoping to give the Satria Neo and Persona a test drive. But the Persona wasn't available for me, so i head on to Neo. I fancied the look of Neo, and I 'supposed' the 1.6L Neo was powerful as i thought, since it has a 1600cc engine in a rather small car body.
But, after i went one round with it...
I went totally disappointed.
The accelarate of it wasn't responsive, hmm, i would rather say, it was kinda 'dragging'. The brake too, wasn't sensertive enough. The ceiling of the car is too low, for giraffes like JS, you will have to suffer. You might have a brain damage if the car go over a hump too fast and hard.
The interior too, the quality is bad. The handle of the gear stick was loose.
I just test the car for a short distance, and i drove back to the showroom...
Yucksss... Proton, you suck!
Nexxxxxxxxxxxxxt... off to Volkswagen. Nearby.
Once we reached there, i saw an blue Audi TT! Whoah~ really looks like the RSQ in the movie - " i-Robot ".
JS wanted to try that Audi TT, but there wasn't a test-drive unit available... too bad!
I looked around, and i saw this at the back of the showroom...
Yeah, the Golf GTi Mark 5 i always see on the road. Now, i can finally sit in it... This car cost around 200k. I can get 4 Myvi SE for that price man...
I touched everything i see in the car, from the back view mirror to the gear, steering to the radio... Ooo... look at the steering wheel, so sporty! The paddle-shift is right behind it. * not visible in the picture *
The gear transmission is using a patented technology call DSG, stands for Direct Shift Gearbox. What SO special about it, that they must PATENTED it? Well, according to Paul Tan :
"Volkswagen’s Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) is the world’s first dual-clutch automated manual gearbox in a production car. This provides the driver the ease-of-drive of a car equipped with an automatic transmission, but the efficiency and flexibility of a manual transmission.
It’s like a far more advanced big brother of automated manual transmissions like the one found in the Proton Savvy AMT. Something like BMW’s SMG, but Volkswagen’s DSG was the first to have dual clutches. Volkswagen’s DSG transmission also has a triptronic function, allowing gears to be manually selected as well as an automatic mode."
This car has 12 airbags in total. 12!! Walau-eh...People might not die in the crash, but die of AIRBAGS!! Haha...of coz it wont lah, it's meant to save lives, doh~!
What about those 10 speakers in the car? scary enough? =) haha...
My gard~ really dont need to pimp it liau if you got a car like this.
I requested a text drive, and i expected to be rejected... * coz im still a 'P' license holder *
The next moment, the friendly salesman asked for JS and my IC and license, so that he can photocopy them.
A moment later, the saleman came back with 2 forms for us to fill them up, then its time to go out to the car.
Muahahahahahaha... Im going to have a taste of YOU, Golf GTi!!
I started the engine... Vroommm... the whole car body gave a shudder. Not that kind of shudder that a old Daihatsu T120, but the kind that reminds me of a hungry tiger.Oh my~ i can feel the power even before i drove it out from the parking space.
Before going out to the main road, i tested the paddle shift. Err... i kinda suck using that, not use to it. I keep choking the car a few times.
I turn the transmission to normal mode when i was at main road.
Fulamak! Overtaking cars is as easy as if i was playing Need for Speed in PSP.
Funny things is that the signal and windscreen wiper control sticks are at the opposite side of the Toyota Estima i drives at home. Im use to the 'signal' stick at the right, and 'windscreen wiper' at the left. So i messed up a bit while trying to turn the signal light on, but instead i turn the winscreen wiper on.
I was given the permission to drive it out to the highway... not just drive, but speed. Speeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddd... The transmission was shifted to 'Sport' mode, that gives the car a more sporty performence which reduces the auto-gear shifting time, an auto rav function that gives the car a full trust of the power when you step on the accelerate paddle, at the same time, of course, more consumption of petrol.
A footage captured by JS from the passenger seat...
Err... the handling of the car is toooooooooooo damn blurdy comfort till i didn't realised that i was actually driving at a speed of 180km/h. Whats so amazing with the handling is that, unlike most car, the more you speed this sexy thingy, the more stable the steering is. German technologies, memang amazing... Only our stupid nasional car - Proton, still wanna jual mahal when VW offering them to join venture. Damn it, just imagine if we have all those technologies in any of our Proton cars, then we wont see anymore Ah-Beng-style modified Protons on the road. Making LOUD noise at a tortoise speed.
So, this is my crappy review of the VW Golf GTi, my next target is the New Lancer GT. =D
