Journos carried on about the small steering wheel also (which is brilliant). Gear shift is fine when rushing. The throw is a bit longer than some other cars, but it’s not notchy at all and is very precise when hustling (well ours are anyway).This is a really interesting build. Very keen to hear your thoughts once it's on track.
A lot of journos liked the 270 but always said the gear shift was vague and couldn't be rushed. Are you planning on changing the linkages or anything in the shifting mechanism? Or is it actually ok and the press is full of it?
Hmm, I'd love one but they are rare on the used market on not quite at my budget level yet so any drive knowledge is purely anecdotal! I have driven a base level 308 and loved the small wheel.Journos carried on about the small steering wheel also (which is brilliant). Gear shift is fine when rushing.

It's not too bad and after getting used to it, a shortshifter works really well.This is a really interesting build. Very keen to hear your thoughts once it's on track.

You should drive my Alfa Giulietta - has a bus steering wheel even if you're not used to Peugeots!P.S - Small steering wheel is a minor adjustment but great afterwards. Everything else feels like a bus steering wheel now
