ivan u wrong liao...hehe

tested both c5 (new) and c4 today

c5 available in vtr and exclusive trim 2L only so far

c4 1.6L (under homo now) and 2.0 coupe 180hp (coming later)

 

first batch c5 on road liao, c4 got a few prebooked

 

for a 2.0L the c5 feels very fast and stable, even in wet earlier when quite heavy rain

on paper same as my 2.0 camry but feels faster

suspension feels more tweaked over older c5, only pity sg ver comes without lane departure warning system but has everything else :)

wow... C4 may price itself out.. I thought it would be comparable to the Astra and Megane, but it's around 5k premium over those rides right? sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

and the VTR for $120k+?? Ermm... priced against Golf GTi? sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gifrolleyes.gif

 

Not saying it's not a good car, but.. must really be a fan of Citroen and Sebastian Loeb sweatdrop.gif

saw in the papers today... they put it at 88k i think for the 1.6 sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

if that's the case, "overpriced" seems like an understatement sweatdrop.gif

 

Tis a good thing that the manufacturers are taking back distributorship then... wink.gif

at that kind of price (88k for a 1.6 if the papers are correct... and it's priced against the likes of Astra in UK)... hard to fall in love actually sweatdrop.gif .. and i'll say the same thing if the new focus is priced at that range as well tongue.gif

 

April's CAR mag stated the price of the 2-door C4 VTS is slightly cheaper than the 2-door Astra Turbo by 300 quids sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

The 180bhp unit in the VTS has a different character again. It's the engine already seen in the Peugeot 206 GTI 180, with continuously-variable valve timing, a free-flowing cylinder head and a peaky power delivery. It's smooth enough at low speeds but lights up around 4000rpm, passing the torque peak at 4750rpm and delivering maximum power at 7000rpm. That said, its performance figures are brisk rather than blistering: 0-62mph takes 8.4 seconds, but the VTS will run to an impressive 141mph helped by a low aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.28.

 

 

 

its new 16-valve cylinder head was co-developed with Lotus, whose engineers have improved the intake and exhaust gas flow, added continuously variable inlet valve timing and revised the engine management system to wring 180bhp from the motor without resorting to a turbo. That makes it the most highly tuned 2.0-litre petrol in Peugeot's range,

 

 

Engine: 1997cc four-cylinder 16-valve dohc, variable inlet timing

Max power: 180bhp at 7000rpm

Max torque: 149lb ft at 4750rpm

Max speed: 140mph

0-62mph acceleration: 7.4 seconds

Fuel consumption (combined): 32.8mpg

CO2 emissions: 204g/km

 

 

 

this engine is a very good one

new generation of mini cooper will use peugeot/citroen engine blocks

imagine cooper s now only 170hp with 1.6L right...use this block + sc how? [sweatdrop][drivingcar]

so it's true.... 88k... sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

let's see... 88k can get you an Integra IS; top up a bit more for the basic Rex; an Astra or Megane or Mazda 3 with loads of cash to spare to mod, pay insurance, pay petrol...

 

for the die hard Citreon fans then... sweatdrop.gifsweatdrop.gif

 

10k more than the astra and megane and mazda 3... rigghhtt... maybe for the die hard fans of Advance Auto rather sweatdrop.gifrolleyes.gif

 

along with the 138k Megane RS... what are these people thinking??? hur.giflipsrsealed.gif

 

oh well... who am i to judge...
