But I guess Honda Malaysia will get its CBU stock allocation for 2009 soon, much like the soon-to-be lowered-price Civic Hybrid for next year's deliveries!<BR/><BR/>Go to your nearest Honda dealer and book one if you're serious about getting a (manual) driver's car or unmarried (single & loving it!) or got some extra cash to splurge...or got bored of seeing so many Golf GTIs on the road!!!drlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366949787090993357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54333795776664355.post-59472223424447462202008-11-25T12:51:00.000+08:002008-11-25T12:51:00.000+08:00Hi AdRt,I used to think that the question you aske...Hi AdRt,<BR/><BR/>I used to think that the question you asked was a no brainer. The GTI has one of the sweetest drivetrain (TFSI + DSG) for its price and segment, no doubt about that. Very decent ride AND handling too (even on upsized 18").<BR/><BR/>The Golf GTI can be your everday car. If it's your only ONE car, it's perfectly liveable/usable on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, The FD2R CTR is a 'selfish' car. Your rear passengers will not enjoy the ride at any rate (even though it's got proper rear seats and a boot good for family outings). Yeah, it's a focussed driving machine, kinda stealth if not for the big rear wing, Jap-Banzai image somewhat and to top it all, very involving to drive.<BR/><BR/>No prize for guessing which one I'd pick now, cos I've got two other cars already ;) <BR/><BR/>Cheers!drlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366949787090993357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54333795776664355.post-59445736524617168342008-11-25T11:56:00.000+08:002008-11-25T11:56:00.000+08:00This is such a sweet car.
