Most of teenagers just like myself are in the midst of getting
a driving license. The only reason being Singapore is getting more and more
crowded with trains and buses packed to the point that you couldn't move in
anymore and suffer a torturous ride home. What other alternate way is there
other than getting your own transportation around? Other than having a driver's
license, you must also have a car!
Everyone has their own definition of a dream car. For me, it
has got to be spacious and has a lot of leg space because I hate the uneasy
feeling in my knees when there is limited amount of space to stretch my legs.
As a girl, a car's design is important as well.
I headed down to the showroom at 305 Alexandra Rd to view
the Peugeot 308 which was awarded European's car of the Year in 2014.
The Peugeot 308 comes in four different specs, but the one
that got my eye was the Peugeot 308 SW. My favourite feature would be it's
design of the car which makes it different from the rest of the cars.
Design:
It's exterior looks so stunning and it comes in my favourite
color white. I love how the headlights, which are in full LED, are designed in
the shape of an eye which gives it an edgy look that is different from other
cars.
On the inside, Its seat is in black with red straps in the
middle, a beautiful color combination which gives off a luxurious look. It's
seat is comfortable and soft, and it has a lot of leg space which I absolutely,
absolutely love and look for in a car. I can stretch out my leg entirely and
don't feel so cramped up, both as a driver and a passenger.
Passenger seats
The feature that blew me away was the panoramic glass roof.
It just means that if I'm a passenger of this car I'm able to get a view not only
beside but above me as well. I get to enjoy the view from above at the same
time I get to enjoy the dual zone air conditioning in the car, away from the heat
of the sun because the only time I get to view the scenery up is when a car has
an open cover. How awesome is that? This has got to be my favourite feature of
all!
It also has a touchscreen that has a built in bluetooth,
audio streaming, USB port, radio and navigation system, which means you don't
have to invest in a GPS because there is already one being built in it.
It also has a adjustable steering wheel with central storage
that contains a cupholder and armrest.
The Peugeot 308 SW also has a big boot where you can throw
everything in. This space comes in handy when you need to go on a family
holiday and you get to throw everything in without having to constantly trying
to squeeze and compress your stuffs.
Fuel efficiency:
This is 140kg lighter than the previous version of the 308
which means it is more fuel-efficient. It has a fuel capacity of 1199cc and
compression ratio of 10.5:1
Other features: It also has a feature of city park assist
which guides the driver into parking into any kind of slot, if you are as
clumsy as me this feature would be of great help into letting us park our cars
with more confidence and at a faster pace to avoid getting impatient glares
from other drivers when we block the cars in the parking lot as we park our
cars with multiple tries.
It is designed to suit any driver's needs from comfort of
the car and design to the latest technology such as the i-cockpit, it is no
wonder that it claimed it's title of being "Most Beautiful Interior"
and"Car of the Year" in the UK
Im really impressed with the Peugeot 308 because it has all features that I'm looking for. Head down to their showroom and check it out if you are interested as well! That's all for now!
