Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch: Gets red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- Fun-to-drive: The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
- Handles like a pro: Feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.
Skoda Octavia RS
- Handles like a sports car: The steering is direct and progressive while the chassis feels like it can take on more
- Performance: Smooth and easy in the city, but quick and exciting when you want to have fun
- Super practical: Has enough storage spaces inside the cabin and a big boot for a long vacation
- Sleeper design: Doesn’t look overly aggressive, but is immediately recognizable to the people who know

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Inconsistent cabin quality: While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- Missing features: Does not get leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
Skoda Octavia RS
- Ride quality: Can be too stiff for our broken roads
- Ingress egress is super inconvenient with a low roof that requires you to duck a lot.
- Rear seats: Adequate space, but the limited sense of space makes it feel claustrophobic
- Sound: Engine and exhaust sound a little muted for a performance-oriented car
