Comparison of Pros & Cons
Pros
  • Pekan-built 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8 is now CKD and almost RM10k cheaper than the outgoing Mk7 GTI
  • Still the best Jack-of-all-trades of the hot hatchback world, and perhaps even in the entire automotive world
  • Sleeker design cleverly hides the fact that the new GTI is actually a larger vehicle

Read More
  • Beautiful exterior design that seems to look good at every angle. The interior build quality and presentation also looks better than the segment with clean lines, solid switchgear and soft white LED lighting.

  • Much improved cabin refinement that is quieter than the previous generation. It is now among the quietest in the C segment.

  • Agile handling and stable body control are still evident even with the much-criticized fitment of a torsion beam rear suspension. 

Read More
Cons
  • The side mirrors are, highly perplexingly, not foldable, not even manually
  • In a bit to declutter the interior for a minimalistic ambience, VW has chosen form and sacrificed too much of function
  • Synthesising and piping engine noises into the cabin after silencing the actual noise from the exhaust is just silly

Read More
  • It is still tight at the back seats, with a bench that is set too low. Occupants might be ok given the extrovert concept car styling.

  • A price premium over the segment leader with a less responsive powertrain. That is the price to pay for being unique and different, standing out among the sea of Honda Civic models.
