hi enthusiast.... keen to get the 308 THP... need to seek some advice from you folks here :
i) I'm a salesman hence travels around town on a daily basis...can 308 THP be driven as a daily runabout car?
ii) does the turbo works like the conventional jap variant where it kicks in around 3000rpm?
sounds silly but your inputs r appreciated. Thanks
i) Definitely, the max torque is 240nm (that's more than most 2.4L car), and comes in as early as 1,400RPM all the way up to 4,000RPM (flat torque at 240nm)
ii) See point 1 above.
Test drive to feel the it...

Getlogic, you will get the power of a 2.4 liter car and the economy of a 1.6 liter car... Its a good image as a salesman driving a Peugeot too....
Its not what you have...... its how you use it!!

getlogic,
No problem.
Sorry, I don't know which showroom has the THP for test drive yet; I'd suggest you call them first.
From the previous owners experience, I think the bangsar branch would have better SA?

I heard the babylon red for the THP is out of stock. If I'm not wrong, the next batch is coming around March.
