The new Golf GTI has recently arrived in Singapore. If you’re not familiar with car prices over there this will come as a shock, it’s priced from SGD212,000 (AU$182,000). And you thought Australian car buyers got screwed on imported car prices!

The good news is there is a special launch edition—five door configuration with leather, DSG and sunroof; no Performance Pack—that comes in at a mere SGD199,000. Although you can choose the colour.

As for Australia, the Mk7 Golf GTI is due to go on sale before the end of the year and we expect it to maintain its AU$40,000 price point.
