Ram my gates? With an evo? Good luck with that. I'll have a lot of spare parts lying around then! Woohoo
Hahaha let's see 2 years later. My son might still want it though.
Macam ni, assume it's as good as bookedHahaha let's see 2 years later. My son might still want it though.
I would be worried if he doesn’t want an Evo.

My son don't like driving my VR, but my daughter loves it......lolHahaha let's see 2 years later. My son might still want it though.
thanks all. Both cars have their fair shares of problems. Thats why such dilemma exists ;)
As to why these 2 cars are compared side by side because both of them can actually ferry more than 2 people. While Passat can ferry more than 2 people comfortably, the 4 series coupe do likewise in a passable manner.
I am an owner of B8 380tsi, so far after owning it for 3 years, no major problem (touchwood), it can be a family car without people at the back complaining with a huge boot space, and its a no slouch I can tell you, well maybe cant beat 0-100 of a BMW but then you cannot have a perfect car. So far no DSG complain I heard of even from fellow friends who own it, maybe because of the wet clutch. If you don't trust the SC theres a plenty of reputable outside workshop that can do a VW. Anyway its up to you really. Cheers
So far from what I heard, the GB problems are from the 7 speed dry clutch. 6 speed wet clutch seems to be okay.......lolI am an owner of B8 380tsi, so far after owning it for 3 years, no major problem (touchwood), it can be a family car without people at the back complaining with a huge boot space, and its a no slouch I can tell you, well maybe cant beat 0-100 of a BMW but then you cannot have a perfect car.

I have been to Vagteknik at Balakong, excellent service but never tried Dubwerkz, but I heard they are good.thanks for the update! Do Vagteknik and dubwerkz belong to the category reputable 3rd party workshop?
So far I have claimed only the door handle, which the surface peel off (most of the first batch experience this). Routine service was not a problem in SC. However if you complaining about rattling sound etc, then you would be disappointed.Anyway in Klang valley, one or two SC is closing down such as WH in balakong and HiCom in Semenyih. But then again there is plenty of third party workshop that can do better than SC.(If your not claiming for warranty)I don't doubt what you say at all, as it is a wet clutch unit. Why don't you share your experience with VW MY service? Be it your routine servicing or any claims. That would be helpful information.
Yah, quite a few VW centers closed dy. PJ one I think was Federal Auto also closed.....So far I have claimed only the door handle, which the surface peel off (most of the first batch experience this).

All Senpais,
Which is the way to go for my selections of cars, B8 Passat 380TSI (new) or F32 428i coupe (2nd hand) having priced very similar at RM 158k?
I am rather torn in between 2 due to the fact that I love the DSG experience on the Pasat while wide track rear wheel drive machine is highly desirable as well. Additionally, the N20 engine on the beemer seems to have some issues with oil drip head gasket and timing chain guide which are rather a concern to me.
Hence, I appreciate all your insights
depends what you value more, the provided choices are almost 2 different animals.
both cars will have their fair share of cons, although the new VW will stay healthy for longer in comparison
how do you see yourself using the car, weekly spirited drives? are you comfortable with occasional workshop visits for used car upkeep duties?
if you can provide more information, the guys here can help you decide better
If after driving still cannot decide how about the appearance factor? Single guy in the BMW should look more cool and attractive to the ladies. Passat is an uncle looking car.Sure Tom.
Passat 380tsi is 2019 manufactured (RM 155k) while the F32 428i (RM 153k) is 2014 manufactured
1) daily driving with 2-3 persons, single man.
2) occasional workshop visits are factored in when Beemer was shortlisted. (but lets hope it is not as bad as Banyak Makan Wang which is mentioned by many especially with the N20 engine).
3) the DSG experience in the Passat while the RWD in the Beemer are priceless.
4) I am okay with both rides, just that information of what comes after is fairly fragmented or scanty especially with Beemer
5) I have test driven both cars more than 3 rounds yet I still cannot make up my mind.
Sure Tom.
