Comfort
Very very well built car, good for long distance driving, comfortable, all the necessary steering controls like audio and autocruise present. Suspension wise also very good, heard it has one of the best suspension. Handles bumps very smoothly.
Performance
Too bad it only comes with a 4-speed AT(correct me if i'm wrong) which guzzles the fuel like nobody's business. Though the pickup and acceleration is good, but you'll feel butthurt when you see the tacho revving high and the fuel meter going down so fast.
Top speed wise it has no problem getting to 120 easily and continues to go up to 200, the maximum I tried. You'll be so comfy you won't feel the car is running at 150. Of all things, it is the gearbox that turns me off. The gearbox is also abit sluggish imo.
In-Car Entertainment
Music - Here is where is sort of shines, the built in touch screen HU and speaker set up is so good that you'll feel so happy with it. Runs on JBL speakers. The sound quality is really really good. Nuff said.
Nagivation/Others - Apart from the sound quality/music player, I do not think the other part fares well, the touch panel is kind of laggish and other than navigation and clock, the other functions are basically unusable. There are functions like blackboxes, drawing note pad?, photo album, mp3 player but all of this looks nonfunctional to me. I have tried inserting a pendrive with mp3s in it but it just wont detect and play.
Some buttons on the dashboard are also not usable, probably due to the conversion from European market standards (eg: phone/sim feature) to the Asian market where we do not have such techs.
Overall it's a good car to own but I do think you have better choices out there considering the price and its technology. Perhaps the new 408 has improved these?
Just my 2 cents
