Was actually buying this car for my wedding, which is soon. Already told the sales person that I need the car by certain date, and yeah I was told it was do'able. But now? Hmm, doubt so.

Btw, your ferrari comparison is not that suitable in this case. Ferrari rushed their production, causing flaws here and there hence the fire. But my car is already there waiting for me, with my name and stuff on it.

Another thing, my argument wasnt about the car at all. It's been NASIM. All talk/promises and no delivery? As far as I know, people has been cancelling their order because they booked way before 18th Oct, which is the launch date. Early bird gets the worm? Definitely not in NASIM's dictionary.

I've also read in another forum, that due to KIA/Peugeot is actually under the same roof (NAZA), they're short of AP now, and gotta wait till 2012. Wow, the excuses of AP, duty etc etc. What next?

Top 10 Worst Cars of 2011:
http://autos.yahoo.com/news/worst-car-flop...011.html?page=2

VW Jetta
The 2011 redesign cost the Jetta much of what had made it a standout in the small car segment. Its responsive handling and sharp steering are long gone, Fisher says, and the high-quality interior has been replaced with hard plastics that don’t fit together well. The engines in the new Jetta are unimpressive with regard to both acceleration and fuel economy.

2012 Honda Civic
The 2012 redesign plummeted in Consumer Reports scores from one of the best small cars to one of the worst, Fisher says. Its nimble handling was replaced with a “soggy” suspension, and braking distances are too long. The interior quality also declined, with lots of hard plastics throughout the cabin.

you should just get T&H or VW

they never short of APs

Already had experienced t&h, but you sure about the VW part? As far as I know, VW's are imported from overseas as well. No need AP?

they got lower volume (selling less car) than peugeot and kia . or vw they have better connection

after naza former boss passed away, the sons always have AP problem relationship not good enough with high level ppl i guess

bro where you get this news from? LoL

naza salesman lo, dunno he con me or not la, lol.

yeah i know..i actually wont use the paddle shifters at all.. but its good to have, feels like your car is not missing something.. also good for when you're bored and feel like you want to do a vettel once in a while..

Added on November 15, 2011, 5:52 pmalfa 159 is the sexiest.. but the rear seats are so small, not suitable as a d-segment family car, heck even less space than your average c-segment cars

if i were to drive alone, and dont give a damn about resale value and maintenace costs, i would take the 159 anytime..

my fren who is driving a 147, spend more than rm15k on his 156 that he bought for 60k. and deeply in debt.

make sure you can afford a golf gti before you go buy this kind of alfa romeo. I mean, make sure you are rich enough.

but if you're rich enough, just skip it. alfitis is expensive, lol.

my SA just called, car coming this / next week. Getting the chassis number from the allocation tomorrow. It's for the first batch of booking, pre-booking. Some guys didn't manage to get the loan so SA allocating it for me since mine has been approved.

Woohoo! =)

I'm hearing the same thing from SA as well. Hope to get my aluminium colored 508 within this week What color is yours?

Pearl white

SA say this Friday can get car. But I'm not putting up high hopes, coz been let down too many times. See how it goes la. Will post some pics if really got it

Please take front, rear, side, interior, rear legroom, engine, etc.

I've already seen/visit mine in its prison a couple times. The turbo unit there got some rust stain. SA says its normal? But already promised me the stain will be cleaned before delivery. Hmm. But just for curiosity sake, I went to the ampang showroom and noticed that the turbo unit on that one also has rust stains

I just test drove 508 and RCZ like 30min ago at Peugeot Melaka. The one in Malim.

508:
This is my first time writing a review. I have no other car in same segment car to compare beside my mum's Camry 2.0L. So most comparison will be based on that.

Leg room: I'm 168cm and I got distance about two vertical fist of leg rooms at the backseat.

Driving: It's satisfactory for me and the acceleration is more responsive than the Camry. My mum complained about the acceleration noise made by the engine too. I think it's fine, but she insisted it's too loud(probably VVT on Camry accelerates really quiet). There are some acceptable level of road noise transmitted into the cabin too. The heads-up display can be turned off if needed. My mum thought it's distracting. =/

Suspension: It's stiffer than Camry, and my mum complained about it. It's sportier ride than Camry definitely. SA said might me the tyres pressure are too full and they haven't put at it's optimum level.

Build Quality: excellent. I like how it sounded when you close the door. Very solid kinda feelings. But the parking assist is faulty or some sort, so whenever I stepped on brake there's a some sound
headlight: The color of the bi-xenon headlight is like warm fluorescent light.(you know..not blue-ish)

Sound system is great. I like how feature-rich the car is, but my mum clearly doesn't care much them.

SA mentioned that the first batch of car is from Italy/Australia (sorry I can't remember) and hence the GPS is not usable. The 2nd batch will be arrived next month and it's from French. By then the GPS will be usable.

In all, I like the luxurious feelings inside and I think the power is more than enough for me for daily drivings(more responsive than Camry). There's little acceleration lag and shifting lag too just like most other auto cars that I drove before. Both are acceptable. I like all of the features in it.

RCZ:
The power just blew me away. It's the first coupe I drove. Can't believe it's both 1.6L engine. I drove the manual version and I think the clutch is too "high". Personally, when I drive manual car, I like to leave my heel attached to the floor of the car so that my foot can adjust how much to travel. For RCZ, the pedal of the car is higher than the brake and acceleration pedal. With my heel attached to the floor, my foot can't raise high enough to get the gear to engage. So, I have to move my entire leg for shifting, which caused the ride to be bumpy a bit at first gear. The acceleration is wonderful, I only get to use the 3rd gear and sped up to around 110/120km/h before my mum asked me to stop. She's scared I guess. XD It's my dream car.

Those are just my 2 cents. Don't shoot if I didn't say it right k. Just sharing my personal review. = )
