Depends on your luck. If you are normal driver and NEVER pedal to the metal, and never rev until 4800rpm, then the problem is minimised..

308T, prepare for knocking.
If taken care well, is a great car.
After 3 years of owning, it became reliable.
Although during the 3 years, lots of problem.
Like constantly flat battery, water pump problem and etc.

My dad regularly use fuel addictive to reduce the knocking.
Which reduce but not preventing it from happening again.

I drove it before, quite nice. (mum's car)
Only like the acceleration, which make it easy to merge into lane.

preve was lousy, same as suprima s, I mean the build quality, the plastic came off when my pants cling on the panel below the seat... and the door panel can move when I try to feel the material, although it's not hard plastic, but I felt unreliable. More of is the car was too high tech, you need to put your remote into the car before pressing the push start button??? WTF?? Then what's the point of the push start button? Why not make conventional key instead... The push start button is for our convenient to not look for our keys in our bag or pocket, but proton use old BMW tech which is put the key only press the push start button which is totally time waster... and one more important thing is the whole car is on electronic lock, which means there's no manual lock on each side of the door, and it can be opened by pulling two times at the door... worst part is, if the battery died, will the lock works??? The sales man even told me this car has higher hp than altis, and I thought doesn't our law in this country max speed is only 110km/h is allowed? More is this car comes with timing belt!! Although it's proven quieter than timing chain, but if you were the customer you want a timing belt or timing chain? Even 2005 myvi is with timing chain, have they complain that it's loud than a saga?? For that kind of money, I rather spend on low spec honda city plus the discount given just few Ks more than cfe preve... or cheaper than the SS. Just my point of view after looking at the car, don't pump me kao kao ya... XP

Speaking of pug 308T , I JUST saw one white pearl one today, a lady of early 30s was driving it....Very nice...I was behind it quite long....NOT because I wanted to because it was jam the two lanes....and not that I was complaining too as the butt is quite sexy....the bonnet there got a silver like metal across it , horizontally.... and the way the rear light side it curves like the girl's hip. thats the cute part.

Turbo written below the 308....

Honestly....it does look like a sporty lady's car to me...I tot the car look great with a lady driver in it cuz the car doesnt look aggressive but sorta smallish sporty in a pretty one.

French car? Avoid unless u really a die hard.

Y r french car (or european car in general?) so bad meh? maintenance or durability problem?

I have 3 units of Renault Kangoo and in 1 year, spent close to RM 30k just to maintain them. Everything so damn expensive and parts hard to find. Even halfcut also expensive.

If u clueless about cars, avoid every French marque. When there's a problem, u need a reliable workshop to help out.

Man....I like your review. brutally honest and alot of facial expression there . But it doesn't change what most other ppl think of the car but good honest contribution though. I hope ppl will consider what you say as well but let's all not be too dramatic here shall we hehe

then it is both maintenance (very expensive repairs tere, mate) and durability problem then....since it's rare, of course, its only logic that the parts r Much less accessible....even recon jdm also abit uncommon de and koreans too, what more frenchtoast....my fren had a inokom atos...i think that'll be his last kimchi ever....

regarding the durability, i think those frenchtoast r made for relatively 'colder ' climate country especially the car parts/componenet, so when u bring over/import to msia to use in Msia climate.....erm....go figure

Damn scary man.....good heads up for those who want to consider used pug 308T.

but is there a way to check ont he usage/durability of the turbo and the chain? and is chain so easily break one meh.... how much horsepower tis car oh....lol

I dont think its the weather issue. U watch Top Gear also they always joke about French car will break down easily. True also cause when they do challenges with used french car , it does break down. Same with british car

A Pug 308T year 2010 should be without manufacturer warranty while a new Preve with 5 years manufacturer warranty.

If vehicle maintenance in term of parts, wear and tear are your main concern, you might have the answer now.

While European have the best test for cars... they don't last long. Then again, Europeans tend to change cars every 2-3 years because they don't bother fixing. Cars over there are cheap and when there's a problem, they simply junk it.
