Is it a Mitsubishi engine ? Nice interior
@RonnieCurrie-ze1tr
@RonnieCurrie-ze1tr 16 сағат бұрын
Even though its electric I actually quite like this. Nice looking car in a quirky kind of way and I know you don’t like the interior but the minimalist look gives it clean lines so I can live with that. Totally agree on the tyres and brakes,they need a premium upgrade especially with that kind of acceleration. Wheels on electric cars always look terrible so if they can be replaced then even better. Hopefully you can get a track day with it soon as it does look like it would be a lot of fun. With the necessary upgrades of course 😅

Yes actually I had myself and son and five other guys I had to collect them at a bar and they were all getting left off at another bar about ten miles away up the motorway. I did ask the smaller blokes to get in the third row but they were a drunk and ended up with big fella squeezed in but it was fine gliding up the motorway no noticeable drop in power. 😊

It's is, but I noticed different damping and spring rates. In this aspect they tried to make it feel more like a Mazda. And the Toyota POWERTRAIN is brilliant. At least in my country the Toyota cost about the same, isn't really cheaper. 😁 Of course I understand it's badge engineering, so why would people get it instead of the original right 😁

This may seem like a strange thing to say 😆 I know it’s essentially a Renault but for some reason it’s just so much more appealing with Mitsubishi branding. I love the sills,although not required,they maybe give it an individuality that separates it from Renault. It’s a good car unfortunately. Unfortunately because they have stopped selling Mitsubishi in my country 😕 Which is a great pity because they were always a great alternative choice over the more popular brands.

I like the interior and its panoramic roof,the interior looks solid. But I agree. It’s not a very appealing looking car. If you remember Perodua ,MG’s are kind of the same idea. Built with no affection or soul,just as money spinners and not for the love of driving.

Now this is a car I can definitely get behind as opposed to the Jogger. The Jogger is a good car for the money,very functional but cheaper parts mean less durable. I would certainly pay the more premium price for this Tourneo as it looks a better place to sit in. Also better to drive

The Dacia seems to be very basic but very functional and economical. What more do you need ?🤷🏼‍♂️ I have a suspicion that Dacia may creep into the more expensive market slowly and defeat their own purpose as being the no frills budget choice which people,who just want an A to B car,may find off putting. This happened with Kia and Hyundai who started off as the cheap choice for motorists not wanting to spend a lot of money. They eventually started getting more expensive and more luxurious as time went on. I know that a Sandero almost doubled in price because of the better equipment added. I personally wouldn’t buy a Dacia to be honest. Wow I didn’t realise Slovakia was so beautiful 🤩 👍🏼

@upshifter

I have to be honest, I didn´t drive new or previous Corolla yet (I drove new Yaris and last gen of C-HR). But from what I saw, when I just looked at its conception, wheel geometry, I am of opinion, Corolla will be a more resolved car in corners. Skoda on the other hand will probably be better noise isolated on the motorway. Generally, I would take Japanese. So Corolla or Mazda3. :)

For long trips, a charging curve is a very relevant info of any EV: It's how fast it charges (kW) vs how full the battery already is (percentage). Usually the lower the battery percentage, the faster you can charge. The range of the car is secondary as soon as you get into trip lengths of more than one battery charge. I hope 100kW is not the maximum charging speed of the car, because for 45k€ (which the all electric 308SW costs) you could instead get the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is also a great family vehicle and can charge with more than 200kW due to its 800V technology.
@upshifter
@upshifter 20 күн бұрын
Yeah but also if Peugeot can take 100kW for longer time, in the end it can charge in the same time or close to as Ioniq5 with higher max but for very short time. From what I talked with Stelantis engineers, they are taking approach of saving battery from long term.

The damping is on the stiffer side yes, but the way of balance it goes through is quite comfy. The problem with these sort of cars is how high the driver is sitting and how short the wheelbase is compared to its height. It will never be as comfortable as a well resolved saloon type of car.

Peugeot is interesting, because it's both comfortable and fun to drive despite that bit of softness. Junior is small SUV, which means higher centre of gravity, together with shorter wheelbase. But I do believe in terms of suspension, Alfa Romeo engineers did a great job for driving fun and engagement as they always do. But Junior might have slightly worse fuel economy particularly because of worse drag coefficient than the Peugeot.

Am I the only one who is truly disappointed with the engine noise? To me it’s not understandable why Renault is putting an engine that is more noise than a Fiat500 in an car that for the rest feels like a upper class luxury vehicle. As for consumption: 6.6l/100km over a 5000 km test drive. Not bad for a big car , but less exceptional than I was expecting for the commercial documentation. But, if you can live with the noise , it is impressive.
