二手车指南:热血小钢炮,仅售RM 65k,VW Golf GTI值得入手吗?

一提到小钢炮,大部分人第一时间想到的肯定是Volkswagen Golf。确实,小钢炮这个词就是由Golf创造的。在那个拉力赛车的黄金时代,VW Golf凭借着平衡的车身重量分配脱颖而出,而其充满乐趣的驾驶体验,也成为了50年来人们津津乐道的话题。现在,在马来西亚,一辆二手的VW Golf GTI,最低只需RM 65k就能买到,但这笔买卖到底划不划算呢? 在这次的二手车选购指南中,我们要来看看VW Golf GTI Mk6和Mk7。在选购这款二手的标志性小钢炮时,都有哪些问题需要你多加注意呢? 常见问题 我们先从常常被忽略的一个重要问题开始,那就是Golf的双离合变速箱(DCT),VW也将其称为DSG变速箱。Golf的变速箱问题是众所周知的,尤其是在Mk6上。但其实,这具变速箱的问题在普通的Golf 1.4 TSI车型上更为常见。 Golf GTI上的DSG变速箱是经过加强设计的,如果上一任车主有认真阅读车主手册,并定时进行更换离合器等保养服务(费用在RM 2,500到RM 4,000左右),那么变速箱通常不会有什么大问题的。 但假如这具DSG变速箱真的出问题了,那么通常都是由于机电方

The godfather of hot hatchbacks is now in its eighth generation, known as the Golf GTI Mark 8 (Mk8).

Why is the Toyota 86 so much more expensive than the VW Golf GTI?

When the 200 PS Toyota 86 was first launched in Malaysia in 2012, its asking price was RM 243,000 for the manual, and RM 249,000 for the automatic variant. For a supposedly affordable sports car, its pricing in Malaysia is hardly affordable at all.
