The china models don't have the multifunction display. All displays are integrated in the pop up GPS screen,which sits exactly where the multifunction display is on Malaysian models. After market GPS for our models already exist in china.This will provide GPS,ICE and park assist display if optional camera is fitted.It slots very nicely at the present ICE position. As a matter of fact, this looks much nicer than the pop up screen!
I like to know if the electrical system in our models permits a plug and play of the after market deviices.

Loan approvals are strict,but if you've got the doc's in order,no problem. I got my loan approved in 2 days. Supplied necessary doc's on line and a phone interview. Now pending my signature only.

Wow looks fabulous. Hope this comes as facelift later.Very nice!

Ayiaa bro, you wiped out my excitement la....hehehe! I hope NASA brings in a nice facelift for the 408. Although I've booked the car, I still think it looks like a Vios on steroids!

Added on June 6, 2012, 8:48 amMe too. Was eyeing the red since the 308 intro. We seem to have the same eye for colours, as I've booked the blue........hehehe!

Added on June 6, 2012, 9:02 amI did not test drive the NA, but I can tell you definitely not. Peugeot has contiinuously raised the bar on handling.Before booking the 408 I was about to get a used 407. The 407has the same steering system as the 408NA although a different suspension layout. I pushed the car hard,no floating and stuck to the ground like a leach on a wall at fast corners. The steering feedback was poor,ie too light. I suspect you may encounter the same feel on the NA. Peugeot has again raised the bar by the electro-hydraulic steering on the 408 turbo.

NB: This is a very simple explanation for easy understanding, there's obviously a lot more.

I think you got me wrong. The NA is fully hydraulic. It is light, unrealistic feel. The cars handling is still very good. Korean or Jap cars have not reached this level. The turbo is electro-hydraulic. This one is superb feel, and I am saying it is setting the standard. The feed back is electronically set to provide very precise and accurate feel.
The Getz is no where near this. It is a joke to compare the Getz feel with this car's steering system. I couldn't stop laughing at that statement. I test drove the Optima which is regarded as a drives car and the very best in handling from Koreans. The 408 trubo's handling and feel is far superior

Electronic technology has progressed by leaps and bounds. It provides efficiency and precision. It is the mechanical items in electronics that fail. 

All the cars in your list have the worst feel ever! However I get your drift on being old school of thought and certainly personal liking overrides everything else. Good luck mate,I hope you find something to your liking!

Anyone can provide me with URL to know exactly what mods were carried out on the 1.6 turbo engine to address reliability issues. I understand 6 mods were carried out. I'd like to know exactly what was done!

Hey bro,I too booked the 1.6. However I am concerned about the reliability issues on this engine. Although I heard various mods were done but I'm unable to verify any of it. So I am thinking of switching to the NA. Waht's your take!

The more I think,the more want the turbo.More than the engine,I am keen on all the additional safety features which the NA lacks. I was one of the few who booked the week it was launched,should get my car next week. The key is not an issue for me,have never lost any of my previous car keys. All these codeded keys are expensive.

Just got SMS from my SA to pay balance on down payment. Car wil be ready for delivery this week. Oooooooh really excited! For me,I couldn't decide between the bronze and blue. Finally decided on the blue cos the leather seats matched better with the blue. The 4 of us here all blue,I understand kejusan also booked blue.kevinboey list yours.

Yeah got bronze and very nice!The photo kejusan has posted is bronze. The alloy wheels on the bronze looks really great. I'm still not sure if I like the blue or bronze better.

Added on June 12, 2012, 7:59 amIt may be due to colours that they have done already. Blue could be the 1st batch. I saw many blue ones, my test car in Seramban was blue. I finally booked at NAZA Pj, also saw a blue. Could not see the bronze in Seramban, came to PJ just to view bronze before confirming order, also did not see it. There were whites, yours should follow pretty soon I guess.

After paying the down payment, had a chat with the SA. He said the 1st batch of cars are only 50 units. After that there is a 2 - 3 month wait. Couple of hundred orders are already in. I'm really glad to get my babe soon!

Although I booked on launch day,will not be the 1st to get the car. Tha car is ready,but am waiting on my tendered number. Will know result on the 21st of this month. So slight delay.

Added on June 14, 2012, 8:45 amDin & kevinboey, if you don't mind fill the list. Btw din,if you can get your car in 3 weeks your lucky. My SA told me new orders will take 2 months min.

Don't worry bro,you might get your car before mine,since I'm waiting for tender number! I know the feeling,especially since I was early booking made on launch day itself.

Added on June 14, 2012, 3:09 pmMade up your mind to take the plunge!

Hehehe.....you know I was so keen on the 2012 TDCI, and waited patiently 6 months. After I heard the new TDCI will not come to Malaysia I was very disappointed. Lucky the 408 came along,immediately booked the turbo on launch day itself. Still love the torque of the TDCI la!!!

Added on June 14, 2012, 6:15 pmCongrats bro. Give us report on your experience on the car!

You could use the time to tender for a nice number. Don't endup like me,car is ready today,but waiting for number!

Added on June 15, 2012, 9:50 amI'm not doing the coating,but paid $2k for Autogard, tint & uv with security protection.Comes with 10 year guarantee.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Jun 15 2012, 09:53 AM

No bro, it's tint,uv and security protection for windscreens. I will be doing a fair bit of long distance runs,so felt this are important.

Not true,I'm getting my fort windscreen done too. Intact it is most important to have this protection done on the front windscreen. However the security protection is not to prevent thiefs smashing. In an accident the shattered windscreen will not fly all over and hurt the occupants.

Added on June 15, 2012, 4:36 pmWaaaah you really well prepared la! Good on you.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Jun 15 2012, 04:36 PM

Yeah it's about that in all banks. I got mine for 2.44% at Maybank. Maybe if you got good credit rating, you might get a bit lower,but I doubt it will be lower than 2.4%.
Are you interested in the turbo. Looks like the turbo appears to be more popular.

It's like a drug la,once you test drive it you are hooked. Nothing else makes sense,you just want it. I went wanting to get the NA, but after the test drive of the turbo,all logic flew out of the window......hehehe! Good luck,hope you settle your stuff soon!

Added on June 16, 2012, 2:15 pm308t 6speed owners can give you the best answer. Form what I have found 408t cost around $400 for each service. Not much different from Jap cars,some tell me it's cheapear! Just for comparison, I spend $200+ every 3 months on my wife's Myvi.
