That's A Mint Car! | Volkswagen Polo Sport




For those who are looking at the local review for Volkswagen Polo Sport 1.2 TSI, this is a fairly good writeup from burnpavement.com.
To summarise, Volkswagen Polo won the 2010 Car of the Year in the B segment, after putting up with a close fight with Toyota iQ.
Extremely well made with posh and lush interior finishing, it is a really sight to behold. Furthermore, equipped with a highly efficient and with torque 1.2 TSI engine, it is - as what my HB has happily verified - zippy with its fluid shifting seven-speed DSG which guarantees a smooth driving experience.
Btw, the article comes with crisp clear photos too! Enjoy! :)

Fewer COEs for small cars for the next 6 months

 Fewer COEs for small cars for the next 6 months

We have just read the yahoo news report on the reduction of Certificates Of Entitlement (COEs) for small car buyers over the coming half a year.

Yes, this is taking place when the demand for cars shows no sign of abating.

It is not rocket science to figure out that the COE prices for small car category will most probably climb - once again. Which means that, most likely outcome is that the price of the COE will outstrip the cost of the car!

When this happens, the would be buyers of the small car category would most logically go for the big car category. And this inevitably inflate the overall COE prices for the big car category.
In sort, this COE system is not sustainable and will spiral out of control, rendering car-ownership further out of reach for average Singaporeans. :(

Introducing The Polo Sport


We chose Flash Red for our new ride and this prompted my HB to term our new ride as the Little Red Riding Hood. Somehow, the nick kinda stuck and thus I decided to come up with a blog to chronicle her exciting new adventures. :)

Generally, I thought the car is quite alright but it is just that...her wheels look so puny! Maybe I am too used to seeing big wheels on our 10 year old Subaru STi, which my HB had so cruelly sent to scrap. :(
