Haha.. me too... The 308 looks more sporty than the 408....

Anyway, hatch always look hotter than their sedan bro's...

Still no indication on the pricing yet. But rumor has it, it's around 130k. I did find things funny though in the brochure. Combined fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km vs 7.1L/100km on the 508. Same engine, same gearbox, weights similar to the 508, but higher FC. 508's FC has been over-exaggerated I guess.

Too bad the 2.0L model is still running on dinosaur 4-speeder gearbox, else it'd be a better choice in terms of reliability

Last night I peeked through the window of the car.... the at the Turbo models gear lever, got sticker... AT6...

Six speeder...

No need to peek ler .... All the interior shots can be seen in my blog

haha.... idk bout that...

So i peek ler.... Interior, very classy.... but somewhat exterior looks bland... But not plain boring like VW....

it may be a 4-speed transmission but it is a newly engineered one. it is called AT8 instead of the old AL4 which most peugeot fans are familiar with. Should me more responsive as well as economical than the old AL4.

Well, hopefully the gear ratios are suited for cruising speeds. The old AL4 has unusually high rpm cruising at 110kmh. Not so economical.

Kenso, u very rajin ah creating that C-segment comparison table in your blog.
But i'd like you to re-check one thing in that table, the car width.
Peugeot likes to INCLUDE the side mirrors when they quote their car width.
Other manufacturers measures width at the widest point MINUS the side mirrors.

I realize this odd habit by peugeot & citroen when i was surveying for an MPV.
Peugeot quote 5008's width as >2000mm. That's wider than the Starex (1900+mm)!!!
Impossible right? Peugeot/citroen cheats.

The 308's width, as mentioned in brochure, didn't include side mirror. Don't know about other models though

Actual width is only 1837mm. The 2000mm+ is inclusive of the wing mirrors. Like I mentioned in previous post, peugeot's brochures dont tally among models.

Owh sorry I didn't read your previous post. So are the 308 and 408 really the widest C-segment, exteriorly. From my crude visual inspection, they don't look much wider than the rest. Not that it matters much, just curious.

To love a pug, you must love tea.

My 308T worst..

Actually, driving below 50km/h start stop is the worst, you might think you are saving fuel going slow but actually you are not.

Thanks bro for the compliment. Actually, the table is a one time effort .... from then it's just adding more and more info to the table as newer models are introduced. There are also some data that are still missing and would appreciate anyone to provide and verify the data for everyone to see.

Am happy to have achieved a new milestone in the development of the site.

so, what's your dig on the jetta vs 408turbo? i think many have this burning question in mind.

Welcome back from your break, bro!

Can't really say from the short test drive I had of the 408T this afternoon (updated it in my 408 blog review).

One thing I can say for sure ...

in terms of cabin design, the 408 wins hands down.
rear legroom, Jetta wins
performance, ride and handling - need to test the 408 more extensively. Got courtesy car ar?

i sat inside 408...its nice....

max, what's your take on the space and interior?

its good, leather interior and nice design

it has rear aircond vents too

no price stated yet

This is everyone would like to know. Compare between Jetta and Peugeot 408 turbo
