Xin,

Which Polo you're looking at? The new 1.2TSI? I've driven the car twice and found out the car to be a very good quality hatch in the supermini apart from the obvious Mini. That is if you can justify RM30k premium over the Fiesta 1.6S....

In terms of maintenance cost, should you go to VW SC, normal 15k interval service would be in the region of RM400+ which include VW 'Long-Life' oil and oil filter; and since it's dry clutch DSG, no DSG oil required to be replenish. In terms of pricing of the parts, if you compare with Protons and entry-level Japs, it's a bit on the high side but not much, just that parts availability is a bit tough. Alternatively, you can straight e-shopping from Germany, UK :)

In the case of the predecessor 9N3, it's pretty cheap :)

If you dont mind waiting, i read some where the new polo will be coming out in a gti variant. It'll have the 1.4 tsi engine instead of the 1.2. Its already out in singapore. The one which reaches our shore would be the 4 door version

thnx bros for the replies
if u say service cost ard 400+ for 15k km...i think its worth it...cz currently im servicing my car every 4k km on my proton which cost me ard 120-130 each service...im just worried bout the parts like u mention...dont wanna hang the car for too long to wait for parts availability =)

contrary to that, how bout the fiesta maintenance and parts availability?these are the 2 cars on my mind right now...oh and also mazda 3 hatchback...decisions/////
