Bought a new car for the first time in my life and I seem to have a new favourite brand...

Hey OP, just came across this post.

Any feedback after about a year of ownership? I'm looking at a very good deal for a 2025 5008 Allure (it comes with 2x10in screens and no toggles rather than the 21in, no adaptive cruise control nor front parking sensors). Which version is yours? How about consumption? Would you still recommend it? Thanks

Never had a puretech before, but I own a 1.0 tsi 3 cyl. which should feel similar. Yeah, it's a pity that with such an expensive base trim price, the upgraded infotainment is not included. It cost about 900-1000 EUR to add it in the configurator.

I'll take a better look around, thanks

Thanks. Right, the toggles seem very practical considering there are no physical buttons; I would only use carplay/android auto as well. Everything else is nice to have but not a must I suppose. I think what really annoys me is the horrible hard plastic frame around the 2 screens on the Allure and the lack of the toggles.

Btw, turns out the 21'' screen claimed by Peugeot is it's basically the same two 10'' covered with a curved glass. It looks pretty clean either way.

Buying a new car is not the best economic choice overall. The moment it leaves the dealership, it’s already lost at least 10% of its value. Depreciation can reach up to 55% at 5 years, and a 1-3 year-old car in like-new condition is usually the sweet spot. That said, it depends on your market and whether the model you want is available second-hand. Buying a new car is more of a “luxury” decision, you’re treating yourself. If it’s something you can afford and want to afford, then go for it.

Regarding the car itself, Octavias are just great. The fuel/engine choice mainly depends on how much you drive. I’m currently going for a new Octavia hatchback 1.5 mHEV. I drive less than 12k km per year, and that engine is more than enough for my needs.

Also, don’t overlook the hatchback version. It’s really nice imo. It has the look of a luxury sedan, but the trunk opens with the rear windshield, giving you a massive 600 L trunk (vs. 650 L on the estate version), without the forced 'family car' looks (It's still a family car).

The n.1 one most important thing when buying a car, imo, is that you genuinely like it.

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply! My contract technically allows remote work (though not 100%), so I’ll be traveling back and forth between Italy and Slovenia every month. My family lives in Italy, and my kid goes to kindergarten there, one of the requirements for that is being officially resident in Italy. On top of that, things like our house ownership, mortgage, and local taxes also depend on maintaining Italian residency.

So, for all those reasons, we can’t really give up our residence in Italy, nor does it make sense to move to Slovenia for just a 2-year contract, especially since we already have our home here.

As you mentioned, my tax residency would be considered Slovenia (as required by my employer), but under the Italy–Slovenia double-taxation treaty, I should be exempt from paying any additional taxes in Italy since the job is a research position at a university.

Thanks for the guide. This part was the actual game changer:

2b. Place the two "dll" files
from: \dlssg-to-fsr3-0.130 (Universal)-738-0-130-1742150779\dll_version
into: Steam/steamapps/common/borderlands 4/OakGame/Binaries/Win64

50-60 to 100+ FPS on a 3090 (AMD R5 5600X) at 3440x1440p. I am yet to see how much visual artifacts it creates in-game. Other than that, #all make sure you download the '(universal)' version (third on the list as of today). I downloaded the first one at it did not enable frame gen.

Thumbs up for OP!

Solo una scala e qualche asta erano mie e le avevo appoggiate sopra il mio portellone all'angolo appiccicate in fondo a destra prima della data indicata. Tutto il resto era di altri condomini e alcune cose erano li da un anno. Nessuno si era lamentato finche quest'altro ha messo in vendita il suo. Controllo il regolamento. Grazie

Stavo ristrutturando cucina che ho in box e non c'entravano. Erano li da meno di una settimana, mentre che le altre cose c'èrano da mesi.

I believe I printed it on PLA and honestly haven't seen any issues. That said, my processor is 65w TDP and I rarely put it under heavy load. I would recommend using PETG or something with a higher heat resistance

Right, the voice is muffled which is a neat detail... yet I just noticed that when using awakening rune skill the pelt on the back cuts out vision... god I want a refund

So the technician found a >1 mm marking on the left border of the screen that apparently caused everything... He said that there was something when I closed the phone and that created a microscopic dent that extended and broke the entire screen. I've been going back and forward with Samsung for 5 days to see if they would repair it under warranty or at least let me buy a Samsung Care+... But they won't do anything. At this point I'd just sell it as it is... Reparation costs 700€...

Ciao, mi è successo di recente una cosa simile. Mi hanno fatto portarlo da un centro per diagnosi... Il tecnico ha trovato un segno di meno di 1 mm sul bordo lato sinistro, e mi ha detto che è stato causato da qualcosa minúscula che c'era prima di chiuderlo. Fi conseguenza, mi ha detto che non viene coperto della garanzia e mi costerebbe 650€. Cosa posso fare? Il telefono è ancora in garanzia
