Drove Peugeot 308 @ Genting Highlands

Recently drove the Peugeot 308 down the Genting Highlands just to have a feel on how the car rides with all the winding stretches and the constant braking.

The 1.6 VTi 120bhp machine with a 6 speed automatic transmission has a firm steering feel but slight understeer when I was driving it down the hill. What I don’t really fancy is that the car feels sluggish when I floor the accelerator, we don’t really feel the car speeding up but when it comes to the braking, the ABS makes the brake feel like you need to step harder to make the car stop because we don’t really feel the car slowing down as much as we like it to.

Continuation from my long list of posts regarding my trip to Penang, this one is about this little place known as Bukit Genting Hill. Awesome name right? A Place with two Hill in it’s name. Getting there requires a bit of a drive towards Balik Pulau towards the south west part of the island, in term of address, there’s not really one proper one so scroll down this post to get the GPS Coordinate that I’ve captured when I was there.

If you ask me, the journey was worth it as the scenery from the restaurant was beautiful. We got ourselves there around 5.30pm after a long day of touring around the Penang Island. Was told that the food was worth the drive there but I am not too sure how true is that cause it doesn’t taste all that great to me. Maybe it’s the landscape that help build the rating up. (more…)
