I still feel bit worried when I read about other drivers 308 having battery and engine issues. Like a time bomb every time I drive!

that was the reason why i dropped the idea of getting a pug308Thp sad.gif love the design, love the performance but have to give up on it due to its reliability...

to make myself clearer (before someone shoot me), i did extensive research on this car from the depollution error issue to how to mod the engine (unplug a cable and insert a plug) to solve the problem. in the end, after weighing the risks of putting such a huge amount of money into this car, i decided to drop it. it may be running just fine for the first few yrs, but what if the problems arise after the warranty ended? the turbo unit itself already costs RM14k. not to forget that the battery has to be replaced almost annually (RM300 each)...

Ultimately, it's up to whether the buyer willing to take the risk (or rich enough to ignore the maintenance cost)... It's a good car no doubt, but looking forward, i would rather choose a car which is worry free and still put a smile on my face every time i drive it biggrin.gif

just my 2-cents...

different benchmark for different people bro... for myself maintenance is one of the top few things that i consider when choosing my car...
