It's not a lever, button or menu. When you switch off the car and wait till everything becomes dark on the ODO meter, simply depress the gas pedal until the end for a few seconds. You will then hear a faint click sound. When this happens, you have effectively reset the GB and the ECU will start recording a new drive pattern.

I didn't know that! Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing. Errr can the method be applied on 4-speed 308T?

Cool! Bro did you ask the SA other questions like car delivery time, colour selection (which colour delivery time faster, etc.)?

You comment the NVH was very good, so when you were shooting down the straight road, at what speed were you driving? At the speed you were driving, you did not hear any wind or road/tyre noise?

Did you get to check the sound system? Is it 6 speakers or more like 4+2 tweeter?

Sorry ah, ask so much questions...will try to go for a test drive after the school holidays so want to do a checklist for comparison...

I guess now it's elantra 2012 vs 408 vs (coming soon) focus 2012 for me to confirm my new ride...

I didn't ask so details bro,as I was not interested to buy tongue.gif
I floored the pedal at the straight road and managed to hit 110kmh (no longer enough the road) and the nvh is still good nod.gif
Btw I didn't test the radio tongue.gif

Yes, it can. I do this whenever I used to change between RON95 and RON97. Also when I feel the car is sluggish and I want a more aggressive drive pattern be applied

Is it possible to apply this method to every car? or only cars with adaptive gearbox?

Thank you to all sifus, forum readers and current Peugeot owners for your feedback. Just arrive home after driving from Sintok to KL in my CRV. My ride home was floaty, lack acceleration and on uneven roads, the car is bouncy.

So hoping my next ride will feel more planted, with good pickup to zig-zag the lorries and road hoggers and a less bouncy ride. I know the best way is to test drive the car, but I doubt the 4-5 km test drive will tell the whole story. My point is, perhaps someone can share whether the 408 will meet most of my objectives.

From the elantra and K5 forums, the readers seem to provide red-hot feedback on their new ride. However, in the 408 forum, the response is lukewarm at best. I wonder if owing a Peugeot is an acquired taste hmm.gif Or the lukewarm response is base on past car experience or with NASIM that affect the people wanting to buy this car...

Bro, what were you expecting when the car was just launched 3 days ago and the initial batch of buyers have not even received their cars yet?

Due to the unexpectedly very attractive prices, I believe interest in the 408 will pick up significantly in the coming days and weeks.

i tried both variant just now, dont know why i prefer the 2.0L version, much nicer to drive. The 1.6L seems very very tight, like a virgin, u know what i mean. couldnt test at high speed, u know lah at Glennmarie stupid course.

anyway hope to try more actual road feeling later. But one thing i can say, the car is huge, the back door is like a stretched version of a sedan car. believe me, it is long. sounds like a ahmad driven car leh.

anyway i still got placebo feeling this 408 is like local product, feels a little like proton.
thats my opinion.

The 2.0L version is tuned for comfort, thus the suspension is more forgiving on road impurities. However, the 1.6T version is tuned for handling, that's why you felt that it is tighter, or harsher.

I wasn't really a fan of Pug's before but once I test drove the 308T (6 speeder), I was convinced that a turbo is the way to go! Since the 408T boots more power, I can only expect things to get better. My primary concerns now is if the build quality from our Kedah boys are good enough and if this car will stand the good ol' 2nd hand value test.

If all this while driving NA , once u go turbo there will be no turning back ... i started off with a

405 Gti --> Toyota Liteace --> Proton LMST --> Pajero --> Putra --> E270 CDI

All are NA except the turbo diesel , that's why if ever to get a new car , must be conti and "T-ed"

Hopefully the QC and build quality is up to standard , resale value ... at least it's selling with a mid range price.

cause naza has magic, haha,

408 is nice, but i still love the 407 design, comfort, interior and ride.

macpherson vs double wishbone, which u think is better.

also 408 2.0 has less airbag, less ESP no leather seat., 407 has all built in everything in a nice french car.

Why not look this way:
308 1.6 = 100k
308 2.0 + butt = 110k
308thp =118k
308thp + butt = 126k

407 (different league) = 129k
