Need Advise...SGTI or Putra?

[EGNINE]

i would like to buy 2nd hand GTi or Putra with manual G/box and MMC Ecu.....i'm in dilemma...can anyone give me the pros and cons..which one is better?

 

[WHE1731]

better go for GTI if u need a better performance and safety handling.....if you need a bigger space in your luggage compartment,better you buy putra....for me,i prefer putra because it looks better compare to th GTI.....last time,i used to saw a putra with 17" evo sport rims....wow...what a fierce looking putra with red color...

 

[gtishadowfax]

same dilemma like mine last time...

as u see my nick, i did go for GTi at last, 1999 model w MMC ecu. standard stock.
but then after that, tengok putra chun pulakk!!!

but GTi handles well,the best actually,as compared to putra or any other cars u can get within that range and gives a well-balanced comfort also...

i think its normal, as humans...hard to satisfy our ever-increasing desire...

wateva your choic, bro...find one as standard as possile...

 

[EGNINE]

mmm thanx 4 ur opinion.....putra resale value not as good as GTi from what i've been told....small circle of people will buy a putra compared to GTi...personally i prefer Putra design with full nice bodykit...
but now i'm looking for GTi

 

[beatnik]

if u buy a gti, no need to mod the exterior.. means u can save $$$ for performance..

 

[EGNINE]

yes u got the point beatnik... that's why brand new Gti more expensive than Putra

 

[badmotorfinger]

so, at the end? Putra or SGTI?

 

[gtishadowfax]

ya beatnik...GTi is the only car (locally produced la) which looks good in its standard...

if u see other cars, even the hondas (except type r of course) mesti cross in mind... "ini kalau masuk rim 17 cun ni..." or "...ini kalau lowered, kasi itu gap between fender and tyre dissapear mesti ngam.."

any car i see, always like that one. but with GTi...just love it the way it is. maybe the rims can be better, coz ori is quite heavy, but it still looks good...

find one from owner directly if possible. mahal sikit is ok. majority those in 2nd hand dealer kena lanyak already...

haha..gtishadowfax....egnine came over to see my car....he says he has found a nice 2001 model..quite good condition...nice guy....hope he manage to find his dream car...

 

[gtishadowfax]

ya ..ya... then can join the headcount la...!!

 

[tombstone]

haha
true also

 

[aquila]

Me... I prefer Putra over SGTI. I go for more boot space and design wise as Putra is one of it kind in Proton group. If you like a stay stock and have good performance... then it's a SGTI. One thing I hate when driving SGTI is people says is that SGTI or SGTI-wannabe... :(

 

[gtishadowfax]

heheh..doesnt matter what people say la bro...

what u feel and what u know that counts...

whatever we do, we just cant satisfy everyone..rite?

so i simply dont give a fuck to what people say....

heheheh...u know who u are.....that matters most!

cheers!

 

[mavericktan7]

if u drive gti u look like more class than those driving putra coz mostly putra will be associated with ahbengs and those racing kaki.

performance wise both also same engine.

main difference is 1 is coupe, the other is hatchback. which 1 u prefer? one true thing is that if u wan to mod, u will need to put more $$$ into putra as standard putra exterior looks like wira. yucks!!!

btw, i choose putra in the end. :)

 

[aquila]

True... true.. I can't agree more than you two guyz... besides... I chose the putra having the boots space (dead body in the boot, Mafia style...not!) plus.. what can I say, it's a putra... :)
Anyway, SGTI has more exterior mods than Putra if you ask me.

 

[TermiziYeoh]

SGTI has more exteriors mods than Putra ? I think not. Well look at those custom bodykits for Putra hell yeah good looking.And so far only one after market Gti bodykit which is come from Promote.go for putra if u intent to spend on bodykits because both performance quite similar to each other.But if u dont have any interested in exterior and only for performance then get Gti because it has better handling.And somemore can join us for TT hehe.

 

[aquila]

Sorry... what I meant was OEM exterior mods lar... when I was looking for tail lights for putra.. only got standard only lar... sigh... me still figuring out where they get that skyline looking tail lights...hmmmm
Performance-wise for both stock cars, SGTI is better in terms of handling and power to weight ratio (though someone said this part is not true). If you mod kaw-kaw both cars... can tapao a stock Skyline...hehehe

 

[EGNINE]
