I don’t have the official statistics but I’m pretty much sure that the majority of French drivers drive a car with a manual gearbox (I tried Google-ing for the numbers but unfortunately to no avail). Well, you might ponder why the hell I came to such a conclusion then…
The reason is pretty simple – in my many years of motoring journalism, I have yet to come across a really fine automatic gearbox in a French car, and it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a Peugeot, Citroen or Renault.
But what about this new 308 then? The 308 is the latest Pug to hit town, replacing the popular 307 – and at the same time, it’s the brand’s hopeful product in keeping up with the European hatchback posse, like the Volkswagen Golf and Renault Megane.
Yes, it looks promising. But will it still be haunted by a dismal gearbox, or will this for once, be the perfect one to give the Germans a run for their Euros?
Good follow up by Customer Service. Also recommended nice dealer, Smooth transaction. Happy overall.
