7hm Turbocharged July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 Anyone got the latest 308SW Allure on-the-road price and any idea where else it can be serviced if AutoFrance can't solve the issue? Or perhaps some already got ownership experience with the car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawnstar 1st Gear July 30, 2015 Share July 30, 2015 The current car is using an Aisin 6-speed. Seems fautless... seems... Can't say the car is faultless as they already had issued several recall . There is one recall regarding the bolts on the front suspension not within spec . Not too sure if SG batch are being affected or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 (edited) Maybe my family was just lucky. We had a Renault megane and recently sent it to the scrap yard. In past 10 years of ownership, most expensive fix is the aircon compressor and ignition coil. Other than that it's wear n tear parts like disc brakes,spark plugs and power windows. Oh ya, the mileage is 190k when it was sent to the scrapyard. guess my friend suay, dumped his M2 before 2 years. He says biggest regret of his life, whatever could go wrong DID even the wear and tear items were premature. But I must admit, a healthy M2 is a good car. Solid,safe and drives well. In fact I was rather keen on it as well, until a visit to the local Renault forum put all thoughts to rest Anyone got the latest 308SW Allure on-the-road price and any idea where else it can be serviced if AutoFrance can't solve the issue? Or perhaps some already got ownership experience with the car? With a 5 year warranty, not sure if it is wise to have it serviced/repaired outside But really looks good Edited August 1, 2015 by Othello 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7hm Turbocharged August 11, 2015 Share August 11, 2015 Wow. The 1.2L EB Turbo PureTech THP130 308 (hatchback, not SW) was able to attain a whopping 35.08km/l in closed circuit testing, driving 1,810km with 51L of fuel (2.85L/100km) over 35 hours. http://www.technologicvehicles.com/en/green-transportation-news/2728/video-the-peugeot-308-1-2-e-thp-130-achieves-a-record-range-of-1800km-1118-miles#.VcpB55fCBi0 This is the same engine we get. Sure, it's closed circuit testing and not representative of any real world condition apart from completely uninterrupted cruising, but it's still mighty impressive for a petrol. Just goes to show how efficient the engine really can be. As it is normal drivers like Tanahteck are getting 13.5km/l in traffic jams. Reading up some interesting stuff on the 308SW; the EB Turbo uses DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating on its components to reduce friction, and altogether PSA filed 121 patents (not a 1,000, but still respectable. Note, filed, not received) for the development of the engine. It has been tested a over a minimum of 1.6 million kilometres and 25,000 hours. http://www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com/en/automotive-innovation/clean-car/petrol-engine-new-generation Must say. It is technically quite impressive for what it is. But time will tell if it meets the critical criteria of reliability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good at overtaking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanahteck 2nd Gear August 11, 2015 Share August 11, 2015 I am not a race, imo it corner ok and overtake better than my previous focus. Engine noiseless. Will update more once after I run in more mileage ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
