Something I forgot to upload earlier, but this weekend gone, me and my old man went to test drive a car. I've been trying to persuade my Dad out of his wheezy old 2009 Corsa and into a nippy Suzuki Swift. While waiting for one to be prepared for a test drive, we were looking around the showroom, and I must admit - while I don't like new cars, I kinda wish I had 18 grand to blow on one of these...

Finally liberated this from daily driver usage took it to the ocean
There's two types of people in this world: people who roll down all the windows equally and people who roll down each window at wildly different heights
What type of sun shade are you using? I really need to get one for my Accord.

Brought the back down to my desired ride height, -4 camber for less rub from body roll; rubs more overall when driving, but most roads aren't bumpy enough to really bring it out. -1.8 degrees in the front but needs camber arms for more adjustment, then the front will come down to match the back

Love driving my car at night because of its instrument cluster...one of the best, in my opinion. Took this snap after a spirited drive this evening.

I haven't been in the forum for quite a while and I remembered the last time I posted here was my old Proton Persona in 2010. Sold that, got myself a Peugeot 206 1.4 and just a month ago I acquired this Peugeot 308 VTi. It's a bargain and although the Turbo model is just a tiny bit more expensive than this one, I rather save myself from the hassle. Slightly under powered but still a real good car!

I used to work for Peugeot - and the thing that surprised me was just how much better built inside that generation 308 was compared to literally every other Peugeot. I had to clean a 308 similar to yours a few months ago, the carpets were so nice and plush! I cleaned a brand new 3008 last week and looked pretty underwhelming afterwards.
Is it a 1.6 petrol motor?

I definitely agree! There's something about this 308 that the finishing and fittings are well put together. Even the seats are comfortable! My father owns a 408 Turbo which is the sedan variant of this car (not available in Europe) and the quality is similar. My car has around 140kKM on the odo and there's not a single rattle in the car.
Yup, mine is the 1.6 petrol. Probably the only downside to my car is the AL4 gearbox, in which it's slow and jerky. Literally a week after I picked up the car, I had to replace 2 of the gearbox solenoids. Oh well

Had a 2006 307, Claire
, while working in Lebanon. Came with the 1.6L which was fairly sluggish and lacklustre. Beirut is very hilly so the poor thing barely pulled.
For $800 including labour the mechanic I used to frequent - horrible spark plug/coil pack issues - swapped in a 2.0L EW10 J4S off of a 206 I believe he told me. The car really came to life after that. It was an absolute joy to drive and a little beast.
However despite the amazing performance it was one of the models built in Qatar, hence the low sale price I got it for. Qatar used the cheaper gearboxes that would overheat and fail fairly quickly. I remember after a rather spirited stint on the freeway, about a 10-15° aggressive curvy incline stretching 15km, I lost 3rd gear; it kept flashing on the dash. I had to pull over, let the car cool down before I could start again.
I didn't get a chance to swap a proper gearbox in before I left but at least I broke even when I sold it.
I miss that peppy little thing and I miss the roads.
