Get Accord & Camry if you dunwan to be caught in no resale value and expensive maintenance

funny, although most people voted for Mondeo, and many people out there will probably cheer about how good Mondeo is, but it doesn't translate into real sales figures in Malaysia.....

how often we see a Mondeo on the road? in KL, probably less often than seeing a Ferrari or a Porsche...

wondering why many people persuade other to venture into a particular car brand/model and when they themselves need a car, they get something else..... 

anyway cybermaster, you better wait for the camry 2012, later you regret buying any of these 3 cars.

mana tahu camry 2012 is, 2.5 V6 engine. hehe. with CVT gear box, and For sure is Dual VVTi, but maybe no nice cool stuff like DRL, Quad zone aircond, JBL sound systems, or Bose sound Systems. But i am sure the minimum a camry 2012 will offer is at least, Electrical seats, driver passenger, 6 airbags, or maybe 2 only, keyless smart entry and a nice lcd touch screen that looks like after market. super comfortable suspensions, quiet ride, and 0 to 100kmh, who cares, camry what, you drive at your pace lah, tau keh mah,, no need to rush.

But at least camry is more like tau keh look lah, 508 more executive same as mondeo, Passat i cant categorize, So there you go, which category you fall into.

Tau keh, or executive.

Have you seen and sat in the 508 or the Passat 1.8? Are you from KL? If you have the time, stop by the Peugeot showroom in TTDI. Look for a guy named Husaini and let him give you a tour of the car. Very knowledgeable guy and im sure ull be impressed with the car as i was.

Nobody knows what specs the Camry will come in but surely it won't be anywhere close to the 508, Mondeo or Passat. neither do we know its pricing. Besides, the Camry is only due next year. So for the time being lets talk about cars which are already in Malaysia.

160K for a 407 in 2005 was quite expensive i would say. Getting the 508 for RM169 in 2011 with the specs on offer is a good bargain if you ask me. Back in 2005, i would say the Japs would have still been a better choice. Not the same now in 2011. So we're not really comparing apples to apples eh? Go check out the 508.

Uve gone on and on claiming this and that and till now you have not answered the main question: Have you seen or sat in the 508 or not?

So far ive seen all your comparisons are based on the 407. The 407 is no comparison with the 508 at all. Both are worlds apart with the 508 a much superior car. What cars have you owned in the 160-200K price range to make comparisons against?

Your D segment Jap car is the Lancer GT?

So what other 150-200K price range cars have you owned?

So whats your comparison between the Teana and the 508 then? Whats your thoughts? Which model Teana?

As for the engine, i dont think it will be sluggish at all. 0-100kmph in 9.2 secs beats even the Toyota Vios (9.8secs) which was well known for its acceleration because of its light body.

No. The first generation Vios auto. Im only comparing because you can really feel the acceleration in the Vios so if the 508 is gonna do it marginally faster, how then can it be termed 'sluggish'? If you wanna know sluggish, go test drive the Kia Forte 1.6L.

AFAIK, there are two authorized centers for Peugeot. One is directly under Naza/Nasim and the other one is KS. I don't have any experience in dealing with Naza/Nasim SC but KS SC is good enough for me. Never had any problem with them, whether in servicing the car or claiming the warranty! 

Why did u have to change gearboxes? What car model?

Not sure. Maybe the 4 speed. But 4 or 6 speed will not affect acceleration from 0-100kmph rite?

Tell me more about the problem please. When it started and how was their response.

But to test sluggishness, you're testing from the start so ull only probably be hitting max 2nd/3rd gear. By then ull know if the car is sluggish or not. You wont need to reach the 4th or 6th gear to know.

I don't know because I'd never claim a gearbox    And also, I don't know or hear any 308 owners claiming a gearbox before.

ps...if i got extra 40k, ill change my 308T to 508...am be like a boss...wahahahaha

our 207 is locally assembled of course it's shit

But sadly its all 2011 models. With the anticipated low resale value, i would rather wait for the 2012 models to come in. Probably around Feb/March 2012. This will give me enough time to check everything especially test drive and after sales service standards. With this car, the drop in resale value would be approx 15-20% in the first year.

Taukeh, I rephrased it for you lah. 

I saw your 'sui kwan' 407 last year on the road after you dumped this. If you want to sell your 'Twin Turbo MyVi', please let me know as a friend of mine might be interested.

No la. Alot more consideration to be done before i commit.

Unfortunately apa pun tarak. Just full tank of petrol upon delivery. Sigh, better than nothing la

No i think Toyota has done away with the 5 speed GB for the Camry. If they still have it, im surely not buying a Camry. 

But im currently inclined towards the Kia Optima while moving further away from the 508. Saw another unit on the road and the rear does look cacat.
