QUOTE(zzuhairz @ Mar 7 2012, 06:09 AM) same dilemma, torn between the 4 chicks: then, checked up on 308 TURBO, the specs, extras, MORE-ROOMY, the 3-years free service which included parts&labor & the 1.88% DO TEMPTS ME BAD. the salesperson kept calling for me to test drive it, says I should test it & polo, both & then decide - he seems really confident with 308 TURBO. He is confident and ask you to test drive the 308T because it is poison! I test drive most of C segment cars, but nothing will prepare you for the 308T...damn torque...very addictive...I paid deposit straight away after the test drive. But after I get the car, I tend to press the accelerator less....because the more you press....$$$ petrol gone... |

QUOTE(ma43q @ Apr 27 2012, 05:16 PM) i was looking for a car about 1-2 months ago, after i cancelled my booking for the elantra 1.8 premium due to the delays. I went to try out the polo and also tried out the 308 turbo. Of course the 308 is more spacious, felt solid and pretty powerful. I felt that the aircond is not really sufficient to cool the entire cabin during a hot day. i tested the 308 turbo for quite a distance and speeding at 160kmph but the aircond is not cold enough. Maybe it was just me and the hot afternoon. Despite the more spacious cabin, cooler looking dashboard, extra features of the 308turbo compared to the polo, i went and bought the polo sport instead. I think the polo DSG is smoother and felt better than the 308's transmission, specially at higher speed. I also felt that polo is a more fun car to drive. The polo had a simpler dashboard design than the 308 or the fiesta but when i sat inside, i felt the quality, simple yet classy. 308T aircon if dunno how to use then its not cold  Need to set temp all below 20, close the vents in the glove compartment too, if feel warm means the moonroof was open for quite a while. And yes, the higher the rev you go, the aircon seems like auto off by itself. Same like most cars but 308T one is very noticeble. |

QUOTE(Alvin330000421 @ Jan 1 2013, 11:29 AM) 308 is a C-Seg car? Awfully small for a c-seg car. Before I buy one, I and all my family confirmed, inside its bigger than Vios....so it must be true |

308T is thirsty camel if driven start stop condition like in traffic...no need to hit turbo boost because it comes even at very low RPM...so no way of conserving fuel.
I barely touch the accelerator already can get above 2000rpm..near to 3000...
But, when the car gets going, the FC drastically improves...that's why some ppl pump in 60l CT driving mostly get 450Km...some mix or highway driving can even get 700km..so it depends where you are driving the 308T....
FACT 308T: Driving the car fast is FAR more economical than driving it slow!
For those buying 308T and expect it to be good in FC, especially in Town and Taman...you've bought the wrong car for the wrong reasons
308T was meant for spirited driving

QUOTE(de_sengal @ Jan 25 2013, 07:40 AM) agree with you on this. I found that my FC when I driving at 150kph is almost same as I driving at 110kph which is about 8.0l-8.5/100km when you know how to control your feet. yeah...driving at Taman or Town (slowing down for speed bumps and traffic light )from 0~70km/h is the worst FC If really follow the digital FC reading on the center dash, very difficult to drive...more like become Road Hogger..in order to built up that momentum to 90km/h, cannot just press the accelerator...even if slightly, need to press release press release...but I do that toward the end of the month...waiting salary... Other days, I just drive like normal.  Just wanna add for those interested in Getting Turbo cars (not those soft Turbo type), FC is of course important, but its not one of the main reasons for getting the car....totally opposite when you buy a hybrid car. |

QUOTE(tZZ @ Jan 29 2013, 08:13 PM) Don't be an idiot. 308t has a 0-100 time of 9.1s polo 1.2 has a time of 9.7s Tell me how a 1.2 polo would destroy 308t ? f***ing twat. Actually, the real time for 308T is 8.8 secs...stock..many owners swear by it.....they only put the 9.1 for ppl with bear belly like me...haha.. The only reason I bought the 308T is compared to the similar price range C segment, it gave me all I wanted. Kids and wife also loved it. Definitely bigger interior than B segment, although it is kinda small for a C segment. I wouldn't trade if for a polo cos it wont fit my family in there...unless I'm bachelor or newly wed. But I still like the Polo Gti..looks nice....Golf Gti?....Dream dream...really hate it when I park at petronas at my taman...got one Golf Gti always park beside me   This post has been edited by azbro: Jan 29 2013, 09:54 PM |

Those that drive 308T should know is the car adapt to the driving style...so for those always driving in the town...gonna be hard to get a good 0~100 figures...or even pass 170km/h....unless the sport mode or Tiptronic was used for that sprint purpose
Anyway, I could imagine the polo beat the 308T in the century dash, cause, even up against an ahbeng Vios, the Vios only loses by not much...can read the number plates of the Vios from the side mirrors....but of course, the 308T pulls away by miles after that.
