    New diesel - may not be to everyones taste.



    New daily driver for the little lady.

    Done today: Stubby antenna, number plates surrounds, sticker/decal/cross bar removal

    To come: Eibach Pro Kit, SuperChips, Spacers, Intake, Leather protection and a set of wheels if someone can find anything that is not ugly in 4x108 PCD 18".

    It is interesting to compare to the 2.0 TDI, both 103KW 2.0 - Golf is more nimble, but the Pug is much more comfortable place to sit.

    The car is smoother than the mkv, but is definately not as hasty when you put the foot down.

    But I am comparing it to a 103KW with no DPF (308 has one), Pod Filter and rear muffler removal - so it is when thinking back to before those mods, still slightly behind.

    As for the interior space, it is massive compared to the Golf.

    I love it.

    Mate, real nice car!

    I have a real soft spot for that model Peugeots (specially the 206 GTI 180) I know what you meant straight away in reference to how comfortable they are. They are massive inside, and don't seem to have the reliability issues of old.

    Good luck with the mods too

    Nice car! I love a bit of quirky French styling. Looks great in red.
