Hi guys,
Because I'm dying of waiting for my MK 6 GTI to arrive here, I went down to chatswood VW dealer and do a test drive on the white 118 TSI + DSG.
My first impression were FABULOUS:
1. It feel much better to drive then my MK5 GTI (Even though the GTI feel much quicker), but I could barely feel lag in the 118 TSI. The throttle response in low rev feel better(don't know whether the supercharge or the new redesign air intake helped it) and it rev very smoothly to red line.
2. NVH, much improved. With full window up I could barely hear anything, not even when the engine were at the red line. There is also no vibration coming from the engine at all time.
It feels like driving a E series Mercedes benz
3.Ride/Quality. iI felt like I'm moving upper class from my GTI to the new Golf.
Door plastic, dashboard, the interor color, and everything else. It just feel more expensive and better. i could say it could be match to Audi a3.
The Ride in 'comfort' mode feels floaty, however it is SOO Comfortable that made me thought I'm driving a limo :S *Confused*. Then I switched it back to 'sport' mode, everything feel more lively suddenly, spring feel more firmer, yet still absorbing bump really well.
Conclusion:
The New golf are 1 step ahead if compared to the old MK5, the 118tsi might not be a fast car, but I prefer 118tsi compare to my mk5 GTI for an everyday car.
(P.S The white dial work well, makes the car feel very expensive)
Cheers,
Hope this information help for those seeking for new golf
Regards.
