So I went to Toomey’s Basildon today and test drove the Renault arkana, 308, and Astra
Arkana drove lovely with the hybrid set up but it’s just so big! Was super worried width wise the entire time but I imagine it’s great for long trips. And not sure if I would get used to it.
The 308 felt so low and sporty, punchy, fun to drive but mpg probably isn’t amazing.
Astra felt similar if a little more comfy with the bigger wheel, but understand wait times are year+
Peugeot and Renault dealers said I should get by June if I order this month. And if it doesn’t happen it doesn’t happen. I tried.
Probably leaning towards the 308 now but I might warm up to the arkana.
