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.

The specs seem like great value especially against the likes of Honda Civic and Toyota Altis..

I test drove the 408 turbo today and I must say I was less than impressed. For starters the extra power from the 1.6L T didn't feel like it was there at all. The car felt heavy and I often had to put my foot down to get it moving quickly. I've driven the 308 before and that seems a lot more powerful. Maybe it's due to the fact that the 408 engine hasn't broken in yet or the fact that I drove in the afternoon and all that hot air made the turbo a little more fussy.

Space wise I have no complaints. The rear particularly benefits from a load of space and the boot can store more than you would typically need. Nice job there.

Handling was nothing to shout about. The car was competent in the corners although I wasn't pushing too hard. One thing that I didn't like was the size of the steering - it's too big! A smaller one would have certainly felt better.

I had real high expectations for the car and at the moment I'm a little disappointed. I want to wait a while and test drive a different unit to see if I still feel the same.

comparing the 408 and a 308 is like comparing the myvi with altis - two different vehicles sizes and weight. you should be comparing the 408 with the other c segment in its class

So if you extend the myvi, put on a boot and it becomes altis??

Actually, 308 sedan and 408 are actually different.
But since it most of the parts are very similar, most will say is the 308 with a boot.

The 308 and 408 share the same basis, but I guess the 408 was tuned more for comfort and practicability. Thus the big steering wheel etc.

I wonder if the 408T and 308T share the same steering wheel....err I mean size...was thinking of getting the 408T steering with the chrome bits for my 308T. RCZ one too expensive.

contrary to popular belief, the 408 is NOT a 308 with a boot. both cars have different wheel base. FYI there is a 308 Sedan (sharing the same wheelbase with the 308 hatch) but its not in our market.

yup. the 308 sedan and 408 are 2 completely different cars. the wheelbases are different. imho, the 308s edan's dashboard looks much nicer... like mini 508 dashboard. here's the link, what do you think? :
