Tohto 114,431 Hypersonic February 16, 2015 (edited) Seems like no one start a thread for this new car As per title, anyone test drive this car. Especially SW model, the interior look so futuristic and modern. Finally it come with a proper 6 spd auto. This is one of the car I shortlisted for replacement in 1yr+ time. Any comments.. http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11662 Edited February 16, 2015 by Ragingbull ↡ Advertisement 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furrynadz 1,666 5th Gear February 17, 2015 the 1.2 puretech turbo is supposedly 130hp which is cat b no idea why its 129 now,either wrongly declared or...anyway is it homologated already? if not detune from factory sure cross 130hp this engine is very new and pretty peppy due to the 3 cylinder but noisy above 4k when pushed hard its a good sign PSA has gone back to the drawing board and started doing own engines instead of using that prince co-developed one from the 0-100 time, its on par with 2.0 L engines of yesteryear, those like camry / cefiro / 2.0 mondeo generation, sufficient poke for 3 in car at most, full load will be a major slouch 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoverofCar 4,773 6th Gear February 17, 2015 (edited) Pai seh....just my opinion...anything automotive that is from the Bonjour land.....I will not touch...I never own one....but heard and see enough to stay away (seen very new car surrendered on the road)......there are better option in the market to even take a look at it.....guess I'm just not brave enough...

The spec look very good for the 1.2 Turbo. Especially the torque of 230Nm. Higher even than VW 1.4TSi. And the GB finally used a proper 6spd Auto. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurro 32 1st Gear February 17, 2015 Is this 5 or 7 seater car? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furrynadz 1,666 5th Gear February 17, 2015 should be a 5 seater the 7 seater is special order, and they already have the mpv for those, no point eating into same segment this is on the EMP2 platform so its more lightweight than the old Platform 2 its time they cut the rubbish ETG and EGS gearbox out of the equation, u want quick shifting u have compromises like the DSG implementation, u want longevity and less problem u end up having a sluggish swapping gearbox that makes u wonder if u are zhang guolao riding his donkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmos196 39 1st Gear February 17, 2015 The spec of 308SW is good especially 5.2m turning radius but "without rear A/C".Too bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tohto 114,431 Hypersonic February 17, 2015 I had drove a rental turbo diesel 308 SW (previous model) with 6 spd manual in Germany for 1 week . Was very impress with the ride & handling. I was looking forward for this new model. The new 1.2 Turbo spec also look impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kho686 49 1st Gear February 19, 2015 The engine is punchy, good for city drive, but the interior is totally "cannot make it" if you take the basic version. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mjklbkldl 62 1st Gear February 20, 2015 French cars are not really great in terms of reliability. Looks sexy when you first buy them, but all the issues start coming after the first year (if u r lucky) A former French colleague told me he goes for Jap brands over his own country's brands. Maybe its a function of French makes not acclimatized to the tropics? I will personally stay clear of French cars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelsonChua 14 Clutched February 21, 2015 Personally, I really liked the the overall feel of the new ride. Have not test driven it yet but saw the car on the recent Motor Show. Interior is pretty neat and engine seems quite powerful. I would say it's a good purchase for most! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Photog 10 Clutched May 5, 2015 test drove this and i must say am amazed with the 1.2 engine. great space and futuristic interior. the nice roof help with the look as well. btw, SA told me they are holding a road show at Jem in June. Look out for their offer lo as mentioned in this thread, french cars reliable? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7hm 11,815 Turbocharged May 5, 2015 I like the space and interior/exterior design... But non directional headlamps... Also the cockpit, the damn steering wheel gets in the way like most reviewers complained for me. Also no electrical adjustments... Other than that I like it... haven't test drive though.

Hotnyh 426 3rd Gear May 25, 2015 (edited) Beware the AD for Peugeot... they really can be clueless troubleshooting. Everything 'we will contact France.' Worse, the only service guy I trusted left them and set up shop outside. Not ever buying this brand again. (Had the 3008 petrol).
