Anyone have a view on the 308 yet? I’m thinking of buying the 307 XSE HDi 2.0 auto (there’s some pretty good savings plus a 6 yr 160,000km extended warranty) but not sure if I should just wait for the 308.

Unlike Karl, I like the front end styling. It’s the rear of the car which doesn’t do it for me.

Oh yes! Mine was a, ahem, rarer 504Ti that had the Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection for a rip-snorting 110 bhp against the standard 504’s 98 bhp.

It was buttercup yellow with Renault Australia’s stupid Renault 16 buckets that gave me terrible back ache, the only car ever to do so. On a Fiat car club navigation run in 1984 in Perth’s hills, I got it to oversteer and crash into shrubbery on a totally straight gravel road. My mate who was in the passenger seat has dined out on the story ever since.

I still loved it, though. WHEELS ran an absolutely identical car up against the Volvo 144 of the day in its June 1973 edition. I’ll show you Friday! :)

Thanks Jbot. Saw a 308 on display at the airport last week (in NZ) so thought it must have been released already.

I drove a 307 2.0Hdi wagon with the six speed auto several months back. A mate had one on loan from the dealer. Huge fun and devastatingly practical, I thought. The biggest icky thing was the lack of a footrest.

By overseas accounts, the 308 has restored Peugeot’s almost vanished reputation for ride and handling composure. It was at its most famous in the 504 and 505 years. I had a 504 in my youth and can vouch for their ability to stroll over speed bumps like nothing happened.

My Golf must be on its best behaviour now.

No used car tests here at Car Advice. This is a last hurrah before it’s replaced.

End of Feb for 308 apparently.

Is this a used car test? I thought the 308 had replaced the 307.
