New Honda City vs. Peugeot 308: And The Winner Is...

I finally managed to get my ass up to the Peugeot showroom in TTDI Plaza. And there they were; the two hot French chicks; the 308VTi and 308 Turbo. Without any hesitation, I jumped straight into her awesome body (don't start thinking pervy stuff eh). Yadaa yadaa yadaa...the interior was as expected for a continental car; polished, refined, sturdy. You can't help it but to like it. The exterior; what can I say...In fact, what do you say when cross some hot chick...Woww, enough said, haha...

Anyway, off to the test drive. I've tested the Turbo version one (coz' according to my dad, it's not worth testing the VTi due to its similarity with the Honda City). The test route was rather a long one (which is good!) and I started revving it hard up to 140km/h and 5000rpm, twitching around the steering wheel and the gearing systems...The Turbo version, honestly speaking...does not dissappoint at all! It is car to be enjoyed. I'm not an expert on cars, by I do feel the greatness and the rush of enjoyment upon driving it.

Now comes the interesting bit; which do I choose? After some deliberation and deep thoughts...I chose the Honda. There are a few factors. Reasons being 1) It's sub 100K price (don't think I wanna start paying big bucks for a first car 2) The new City is indeed a nice looking car with decent features 3) Unknown aspects of the maintenance, reliability, workmanship of Naza 4) My car is to be made available during this month (woohoo!). But (there's a but) I would strongly recommend the Turbo version to all of you guys out there who's looking for a car for a fun driving. That Mini Cooper powerplant inside the sexy Lion will not let you down...

And so, I'm done..the 308 is now out of my system (or is it?). I'm now waiting eagerly for my City...
