True but it's pummeled left, right and centre by many other competitors at its price point. Sure, most of them have lower specs but nobody else cares.

I think he had the Proton Preve in mind when making that earlier comment.
Cheaper? - yes!
Safer? - Well, it did score 5 starts in Australia's ANCAP tests. Can't argue with that
Better to drive? - Not too bad actually once you get past that whiny & unresponsive CVT gearbox.

like other conti's ... you have to drive it to appreciate.
I never like ford and MPV's ..but S-max really change my perception. To be frank - it handles better than my ex-308 and was way more comfortable.
Right now, i don't mind changing my current car with the S-max as it is a competent car and at ways better at high speed.
The 308 is a rubbish car to drive Poor dynamics coupled with a engine/gearbox combo that is not up to my standards! The gearbox is so jerky, I swear it has a mind of its own. Most Peugeot fans will argue that it needs time to learn my driving pattern but why can other cars learn my driving style faster than the Peugeot?

I, for example, was seriously considering a proton preve to replace my 2005 ford lynx rs.
I ended up buying an smax. And my rs is still with me, 8 years later.
Go figure...

Bro....I bought smax because I wanted a mpv.....but you were actually looking at preve and then decided on smax? What's the story there? Sounds pretty amazing to completely jump a few barriers in terms of price, class and performance.

I liked the exterior very much.
Interior had a bit too much shiny plastics for my liking and the plastic quality though good, still felt sub-par in terms of fit and finish for a car of this price.
But the whole dash board/equipment etc. looks very futuristic. Like some spaceship control board....in a nice way.

Was actually there to collect a birthday cake and only saw the roadshow after collecting it. A bit difficult to take pictures while holding a birthday cake. As it is, the sales people already give me one look when I sat in the car holding a cake box
But from what I saw, the earlier pdf specs posted by another forumner looks accurate.

Hai yah bro,
We do not need high quality picture here :-), one hand hold cake, the other hand hold handphone and snap a few pictures will do.
