Sorry I dont know y, it showed upload complete, but somehow doesnt show up after posting the reply..

I just want to make a note, for point 23 mentioned by cybermaster... 508 does NOT come with reverse parking camera..

And qouting member name "sleepy" from 508 forum:

"Errm, well additional features of 508 over K5 from my own observation:

-Better quality interior material (soft touch material wise)
-Dynamic headlights
-HUD
-All 4 doors has sensors (instead of physical buttons) for keyless entry
-4 zone airconditioning
-4x automatic windows with anti-pinch
-Privacy shades for rear passenger
-7" multimedia LCD (for telephony, PDC, GPS <--no malaysian map though)
-Car telephony system actually syncs all contacts into the car, instead of mere hands-free function.
-No horse-shoe-shaped hinge on the bootlid to crush your luggage
-Front parking sensors
-Lights to illuminate the car's surrounding (quite handy so you dont step into puddle of water in darker streets)
-Both front seats are automatic
-Boot release button
-Felt material around wheel arch for better noise-insulation (not sure K5 has this?)
-Fully covered under-carriage (for better noise insulation, not sure K5 has this?)
-Seatbelt reminder for all seats (not sure K5 has this?)
-Automatic parking brakes (not sure K5 has this?)
-Air-cond vents for rear passenger footwell.

K5 over 508

-Sunroof (err not sure if this is useful in malaysian weathers though)
-Reverse camera
-Advanced suspension setup
-Far more attractive styling
-Memory seat for driver
-Cooled glovebox
-6 slot CD-player

This is all that I can get straight out of my head. I could've missed more features on the K5, as I've only visited the showroom for once, where as I've been driving the 508 for almost 6 months.

The 508 is not without faults though. I dont like:
-Small glovebox space. Good enough to store only 2x 500ml bottles
-Small storage compartment under the center arm rest (only big enough for SmartTag )
-Front cupholders. If you put in a cup/bottle, it will block the LCD screen. And the air-cond vents are blowing directly at it. Hot drinks become cold, and cold drinks remain cool. Maybe peugeot's own drinks chilling function?
-Spare tyre in the boot is not fasten with a bolt. Instead it's fasten with a belt? Going through seriously uneven road, you can sometimes hear the tyre bumping around
-Anti-theft bolt on the wheel is more of a hassle than anything else"

try to preview ur post 1st before submit ur post.. c whether got onot

Bro, read what i posed carefully. I didnt say rear parking camera. I said 'visual display' means there's a display on the multi function screen but its not a camera.

it's ok.. i think bcos the file is to big.. found the brochure at here
http://eurofrance.com.my/data/975/uploads/508.pdf

Perhaps I need to make myself clear. By activating ESP I mean being in a situation where the ESP goes into action. I didn't mean it lighting up to indicate that it was switched on. I meant while it acted to save my bacon... So the short answer is yes, it lights up on my car.

Added on April 2, 2012, 4:25 pmEven then, "visual sensor" is not the right term. You need to learn how to post properly bro lol...

It's more a sonic or electromagnetic based sensor with visual interface.

Its called a visual display and its the official term from the brochure. I dont create my own terminology.

Aiya, if you had replied earlier with "visual display" instead of visual sensor I wouldn't have added my two sen lol. Nonetheless it was a case of typo which you have duly edited. Good on you. Moving on....

Yes i corrected my 2nd post but the original post is still the same.

why is the K5 is up against 508? i dont get it, both are totally different cars. although the same segment. but both design are like 180 deg opposite of each other.

one is elegant, the other is bold and macho. one is soft and comfortable, the other is dynamic driving. one cost less than 150K the other more than 150K. mana ada sama.

Maybe a camry 2.0G against kia K5, and 508 vs camry 2.0G again? haha, really boring market segments man. luckily it comes with 508 and k5 for discussion.

i know what are the similarities. the buyer loves cars with plenty of cool stuff. the buyer loves naza haha

Agree that they are sharp and badly finished. I'm in the support for the letter/complaint

when i came out of office, only i knw you just left

wah like that can i join tt too?

No pro. Small issue. Will look for you to mod other things

TT ar. Seems that noone is interested. Just a yam cha session between zrill and me

Check out the latest comparison test from car and driver. Optima rank 3rd from the top 6.

http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/20...omparison-tests

Glad to see optima stand out in D-segment cars.

Was comparing some stats about tyres from Tyre Reviews UK. Seems the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is only ranked at 88% as compared to:

1) Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 (94%)
2) Continental Sport Contact 5 (92%)

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin...Sport-3-PS3.htm

Also, on the Michelin Malaysia website, there is no mention about noise reduction for the PS3. Yes better grip and road holding, but noise is our biggest problem with the Nexen now rite? Also it seems that PS3 wears much faster compared to the Goodyear A2.

Some prices i got from Lim Tayar, Sri Hartamas:

Michelin PS3 - RM 900
Continental SC5 - RM 1050

Both prices for 4 tyres inclusive of balancing & allignment. They dont have Goodyear Asy2.
