You pussies complaining about the power steering might as well get a driver to drive for you. laugh.gif

Pg84, no offense but I could buy a Preve/Suprima, modify it till it's 99% as insulated and comfortable as the p407 (or maybe even more), and yet still have enough money to buy another cheap car. Or well, still have many thousands still in my pocket. tongue.gif

Only difference is, your logo is Peugeot. Mine is Proton. Malaysian Kiasu-ism aside, the logo is least of my concern wink.gif

I know there are many review of suprima out there already but I can't help wanted to write one myself. I'm normalized to my p407 before the test so my judgement may biased towards comparing to p407
tested:  suprima s at jb

test condition :
- long straight with 90deg corner n few traffic lights .
- uneven road with few potholes
- 3 occupant

interior
- rough plastic all over.
- uncomfortable sitting position , too high , hard leather seat , wife complain uncomfortable at back seat
- steering is heavy  , ladies would complain  , but comfortable , looks elegant n upmarket
- sitting inside feel the car is narrow - the feeling , dunno why

exterior
- looks good but prefer preve sedan look

the drive
- pickup good compared to preve from previous test drive
- superb handling , feel solid , suspension is good as the ride is supple over uneven road - first thing came to mind is ' this is better than my 407!'
- accelleration is very good !! I keep on testing the turbo whenever I see a straight road .
- engine is very noisy , not refined. should have put more noise insulation to make it a better car.

summary.
- not recommended for ladies for the heavy steering .
- feels cheap , cheap interior ,looks like  QC does not include material quality in checklist .
- noisy engine = noisy cabin
- uncomfortable seat , seating position ,seating position too high, hard leather seat

+ handling
+ power n acceleration
+ looks good
+ sporty steering design.

just for sharing from a person who rarely speed above 110kmj and drives like an uncle.
