Hi all,

Some of you might or might not remember me. I was one of the hopeful 308 owners who got so disappointed by their service that I canceled my booking. And then I went ahead to get a pre-owned Golf GTI MK5 which I am driving now.

Some might be wondering why the hell am I starting a thread here when I am/should be happy like a dog with a bone after getting the Golf.... Seriously, I don't even know why.

But something that has been bugging me and I've kept coming back to this Peugeot forum to read on the latest going on with the 308. Reading through all the new topics, I felt pain for some new & soon to be owners (I totally understand how you guys feel) & I also feel the happiness that some have received their Lions (be it the 308 or 3008).

I think I've been bitten by the French bug and is still having a French Affair with the 308. Deep down inside I still wish that I could be a Lion owner like you guys. Maybe it's because of the tight crew you guys have here that makes it special being part of the Lion family.

Maybe....just maybe....I could actually put an order down again for a 308 soon. My other half need to change her car soon.
So watch this space!

I think so too mate! It must have been the wonderful test drive I had. Too bad for the service that followed after that.

one of the reason why i own lion is the circle of friends that exist in this forum and peugeot club... yep.. the aftersales is sucks a**... but hey... apart from waiting for stock... so far my services have been wonderful so far... maybe because i keep my expectation so low... even lower than the mucus.. ahhaha...

come on... 508 is coming... do join...

hahaha... we already know that.... (or i know that already to be precise)... nasim mmg crap... because being led by ceo nasarudin, the crap... all his managers BullS*** him day in day out, especially the customer service department... still can put 'charismatic' face in public... hahahah... i wonder how he got up every morning... proud being BullS****ed? smile_big.gif

still.. i own lion now... because i dont rely on nasim... i got circle of lion friends... and internet/ebay to solve my lion problem... maybe that is just me...

so before you join the lion family... ensure you prepare for this nasim crap... or else you will end up like some of us here...
