Added on July 31, 2012, 1:04 ampolo definitely less rattling compare to 308 due to more joint part like moon roof, i can confirm 308 air con is cooler than polo, i wonder how you guys do the comparison, from my experience because i own this 2 car

Added on July 31, 2012, 1:09 amfor ts, it is really hard decision to select either 1, for me 308 is worth every penny for the overall of the car, but the polo make you surprise from it handling, especially the punch from the engine and of course quick shift, this make 308 feel lazy.

i does not bother about fuel consumption, since paying a high premium for just a 1.2 and 1.6 car, why bother? if you are, get a japan (thailand) made is more suitable for you.

I'm actually a car line salesman. But i feel that volkswagen car much more reliable thab peugeot.
The only thing vw is only the DSG gearbox. It produce better power but got problem with the gearbox. And peugeot turbo car, major service quite expensive
Correct me if i'm wrong

you are partly correct about the major service but as at 1 november, they have rescheduled the items and the major service is now much cheaper than before as the items to be replaced have been spread out to the 40k and 50k services. hope this helps prospective peugeot owners. so no more shocking 60k km service bill.

Obviously, go for polo. 308 will be excellent if the usage is for weekend car plus highway cruiser balik kampung car or the like.

Having the similar dilemma too, wife driving 308 VTi & it's super sluggish when goin uphill... That kinda put a doubt in me on the car evnehtough it comes with 6speed if I'm not wrong; polo instant addicted but then again.. The space is a turn off

Few of my friend owned vw having prob with the gearbox, both golf & gti not sure abt polo though. Friends' 308t having probs with gasket & engine oil leak (3of them for the record purpose)

So for TS, I can't help but me myself in the same situation as you

You may also want to take a look at Mitsubishi Sportback. It is around RM130k. It also should have some discount, which will put it somewhere around your budget.

Thought roadtax can be a bit expensive, but for a 2.4L car, it is quite a deal.

If you truly want to compare between Polo 1.2TSI and the 308, i would take the Polo. I have some friends whom own Pug before, and they have been telling me their sob stories of their car ownership.

All peogeot cars got v bad resale value.

308 got a nice front but ugly backside. Back seat is very tight.

I suggest Polo.

polo back seat even tighter due to the small size of the car.

Ok for me, sat at back seat of my colleague polo car.

you've gotta be kidding me!

Polo is even tighter at the back. it all depends on the front seat passenger how they configure the seats. but polo back seat is definitely tighter. width is also narrower than the pug.

308 turbo 2010 selling at rm 77+k. big depreciation?

pug 308t will use the petrol like a thirsty camel... go and grab the polo instead... the interior is the trade off... its not that bad, really...

Wow, really? Can give us the figure (FC)?

Is Pug 308 turbo that bad? i almost bought this car~~ any1 can giv a fair comment on it?
Polo VW no doubt good in quality. but i would only consider polo GTI. Is a Huge Price gap if compare pug308T. But is worth.

mah friends, 100% city drive, around 18.xl/100km... she lives in PJ..

Polo should be tighter, seeing the 308T is a C-Seg car, while Polo is B-Seg.

I see. My friend's 308T FC is OK, I guess. He told me his FC is around 12L/100KM. 100% city drive. Without highway.

same here... am getting 12l/100km... 100% city drive.

12l/100km for turbo engine is considered okay.. 100% city drive, the best ive seen so far is 10.8l/100km.. that was Xantia.. owned by my uncle.. but already sold off few years back.. on the pug308t on my friend, let me check again with her.. ive drove her car a few times.. and i could see the fc from the info display.. yup.. it was 18.4l/100km..

Cayenne Turbo S, 48l/100km.

But the Passat should be quite frugal. At 160-220 it does less than 8l/100km, and that is a turbocharged engine.
