Feminine yet Stylish
Volkswagen Golf TSi, though manufactured locally, still tastes like a European sedan with its excellent driving dynamics.

Carmall.com - Volkswagen (VW) is one of the premium automotive brands that has an extensive line of products. Ranging from the Passat in the sedan segment, the MPV Caravelle, and there's also the Touareg to cater the SUV segment, VW has it all covered. Needless to say, with the range of Polos and Golfs, the hatchback segment is no exception.
Speaking about the Golf, it's a far too familiar model for automotive fans, especially to VW fans. This VW hatchback was first introduced in 1974 and it's been in production ever since.
In Indonesia, Golf comes in two variants, the GTI and the TSi. The GTI type is a CBU (Completely Built Up) shipped directly from its home country, while the TSi is assembled locally.
Consequently, the TSi is much more affordable than the GTI. FYI, the GTI is priced at Rp575 million (on-the-road), while the TSi is offered at Rp354 million.
The price difference of Rp221 million has of course created differences between the two, whether in their standard equipments, features, including the engine as well.

Exterior
Since its launch in 2011, the Golf TSi is positioned by VW Indonesia for beginner buyers who are seeking the Golf but with a limited budget.
On first glance, the TSi lacks the sporty stance as well as aesthetics of the stronger and more potent GTI. While the Golf you see here sports bold defined lines on the its body, it does lend itself to a more feminine side, especially when compared to its cult brethren.
Nonetheless, lacking body kits and a rear spoiler doesn't necessarily make this car look less stylish. Up front, the grille is decorated with ornate chrome ornaments, as well as chrome accents on the outer ring of its fog lamps.
Its side-view mirrors are shaped in a pointy manner with the side indicators adding a dynamic feel while also putting across the impression of a timeless design. The 16-inch high-gloss five double-spoke rims also complement the appearance of this five-door hatch.
