You want to see improvements in a product,there are proper channels to lodge a complaint. Not come here and get on every body's butt about it. By this action,your message has not reached the proper place except a pain on ppl butt!

1st of all, must own the car to make the complaint. Not a owner but just want to   make noise cos frustrated! What twisted logic is that everyone here must get on that sick boat too!
What twisted logic? He spoke perfect sense. Something which u cant seem to comprehend. Maybe u should start reading more and understanding even more before u start talking. Alot of what uve said dont really make sense.

He wasnt complaining about anything. Why should he complain about your car when he drives a car thats worth 180K?

+1!!!  I like the last words. its feel like turning a sharp corner @ 90km/h in 408T. steady and fun. haha..
If i may know, how many cars did you test drive at high speed before the 408T? And what car did u own before this?

Somehow u think that taking corners at 90kmph and being steady is all that great. Even a 2003 Vios could do that well enough with the right tyres. Try going around a small roundabout at 80kmph and see how that feels. Anybody can take corners but small roundabouts are a different ballgame.

If u wanna know about ride and handling, try a VW Passat. Then compare with your 408T. Ull get an idea.

Hmm, 80kmh is no low speed. 80kmh on a SMALL roundabout in a frontwheel driven car, you will probably understeer and end up crashing into barriers. 80kmh in a rear wheel driven car, you will probably be oversteering and drifting around the roundabout and burning rubber in the process. You sure it's 80kmh?

90kmh around a corner is quite insane also. With skinny tires and relatively tall+narrow body on a vios, you have a high chance of ending up in a fatal crash. I dunno how everyone here define a corner but a 90 degree corner is still a corner. If you can go 90kmh on a 90 degree corner I really salute you for having balls of steel

Oh and on a side note, I checked my lancer ex. Apparently, there's no ESC button on it. So I guess there's only EBD
Bro, u really gotta read the posts carefully. Nobody said 90 degree corner la. That would be crazy. But yes ive tried 80kmph on a roundabout. Its 1 of the test routes for the Optima in Ipoh. The salesman actually tells you to push it hard. That was my first experience.

Thanks for letting us laugh at your ignorance and stupidity back again. I mention its just feeling aka "to be emotionally affected" in my previous post. Example, I do feel like wanna knock your car down to river now but does it really happen? And I only talk about corner and Peugeot, you reply Vios la, right tire la, roundabout la, Passat la.

Take some night class for your own good and dont be so serious. This topic are about Peugeot 408. You wan Vios or Passat? I can bring the link up for you. We already own a Peugeot here and obviously that our idea. Otherwise we probably talking in your almighty Passat forum. If you dont like Peugeot, you can GTFO. We can study ourself and dont need you to let us know how good other car is. No point putting poison in here.

Btw, if you manage to bring up your legendary video about 2003 Vios with 80km/h @ small roundabout. We shall enjoy it here.  Otherwise, shut up! icon_rolleyes.gif
Spoken like a true kid. Do u even read posts? Did i say i took a Vios at 80kmph around a roudabout? Did i say i own a Passat? Such a show of immaturity. biggrin.gif

I am free to post my comments. So dont tell me to shut up. U know nothing abour cars except to drive at 200kmph and claim it as something to be proud of. Such foolish pride. The Peugeot 408 is wasted on kampung folk like u i must say. Great car poor driver. Pity.

cybermaster98... you better go hide your car now. Since people are so serious here, you never know when your car will end up in a river one day.

p/s: just joking.
No worries la. Everyone is passionate about their cars. But forums like these are where u learn the good and not so good points about your car. Some may be true while some may not be. But its all in good fun. Cheers bro!

Hmm, what I meant was how many degrees for the corner. Even up till 90 degree its still considered a corner. Same thing applies to roundabout, which is why I was curious how small is a small roundabout (different ppl define differently) ie estimated diameter. For roundabouts as big as the one in Kampung Pandan (my friend calls it small also), 80kmh seems more feasible than say the roundabout in Pudu.
In road terms, anything thats 90 degrees is not a corner. Its a junction. The roundabout i tried was about 1/10 the size of the Kg Pandan one. Thats why it was a good test drive. I think even Hyundai tests cars there at times. Quite deserted. Its in Ipoh. biggrin.gif

Hows the 508 doing? When u doing your next trip on the NSE?

If you dont drive then you must be seen somewhere else. Just dont fill in empty talk. Put on a video enlighten us or shut up.

I didnt say you dont own a Passat either (OPEN YOUR GOD DAMN EYES!!). Who's the kid now. I wonder how you score your primary school. Simple statement also can drag until grandparent stories.

So I assume you are Mr.Knoweverythingaboutcars. Start your own topic and share your lecture. People like you who like to judge other people in different standard etc kampung folk are really awesome! Normally in my kampung, they
will be ran over by 200km/h car and spit in their face. Lucky you!  rclxms.gif

I wont comment much about your post after this. This doent mean you are right. I rather sit down with some light snack and see how clowns making fun of himself infront of computer.
I didnt say i was driving a Vios at that speed cuz i was driving another car during a test run at that speed. Now do u understand? Pity u cant comprehend simple logic. Start reading all the posts before posting your own. Will save u some embarassment for sure. biggrin.gif

Yes best u remain silent. U wont reply because u know that ull get thrashed when u say something wrong. When ure ready to contribute in a mature manner then come back. Till then learn from the other more seasoned forummers. There are many others who know alot more about cars then even me. My knowledge is still limited at best. Btw, i didnt judge u based on any different standard. I judged you based on how u replied to the posts here. Typical spoilt kid mentality.

Btw, do keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect car. Even my own ride has its drawbacks. Pity u think the 408 is a perfect car. And another thing, i have more experience with Peugeots that u think. U only just got your first Peugeot so eat humble pie. So like i said, learn from the more experienced members. Leave your childish tantrums at home yea.

Cheers!

That route is more city than highway. I applaud your excellent fuel economy. The 408 had a 60L tank with 7L reserve when the empty warning indicator lights up.

You're right that the 508 is lighter. Just found from the manual that the kerb weight of 408T is 1459 kg.
408T is 1459 while the 408 2.0L is 1403kg?

Well, I think the 508 is lighter than 408. According to the manual, the 508 is 1415kg in weight. Not sure whether the climate control will help FC, but I always leave it on quad zone mode.

My typical route is from Ampang, go into MRR2 and spend like 30min-1hour on it stucked in jam. Then reach bukit jalil, i'll turn into MEX and drive for 15 mins to cyberjaya. Similar pattern in reverse order when going home.

Btw, my car has a 70L tank. When the low fuel indicator lights up, there's still 10L left in the tank. So that's 60L for 700km.
Well ive managed to get 780km on 80L of Shell95. That was at 80% highway driving at around 170kmph. Havent tested 100% city. Never had a chance to try out other fuel since im on the Shellcard past 5 years. cry.gif

Lately i accompany my fren test try some cars like VW's polo sedan, jetta, passat, Peugeot's 408T and Hyundai's Elantra.

My findings so far (for C segment cat): -

Jetta - nice car with TSI engine, not much fancy gadgets while focus more on build quality, expensive.
Elantra - more gadgets, big, futuristic body design, good price range but not so good in terms of ride and sound proofing.
408T - nice handling, amazed by its turbo engine + sport mode, spacious, up to date technology, competitive price. personally i think it's better if the rear part of the car could be more 'aggresive look'.

apparently, both of us fall in love with 408T  drool.gif

We din try honda & toyota, perhaps feel bored with those japs car already  biggrin.gif
Yes if the 408 had a better rear end, it would surely boost sales a bit. But yes, its about time ppl started moving away from the Jap brands and start considering other makes which offer more tech at affordable prices.

The Jetta engine has the same engine as the Golf TSI. It's a twincharged 1.4 TSI engine that is both turbocharged and supercharged at the same time. It does 0 to 100 just 0.1s shy of a full second faster than the 1.6L prince turbocharged engine found in the 408T. The smaller engine means it will also be more frugal with FC and the 7 speed DSG is pretty good too (if it doesn't suffer the infamous mechatronic failure). If the price wasn't so expensive for the frugal equipment offered - this car will easily be one of the top sellers in the C-segment. IMO, I think VW screwed up the Jetta pricing :/
Yes i agree. RM 156K (OTR with insurance) seems a bit steep for the 1.4 TSI Jetta. A price tag <150K would be more appropriate. I also find the overall design of the Jetta slightly better than the Passat. No offence to you bro. icon_rolleyes.gif

RM156k for c-segment Jetta is kinda expensive, at the price range you might consider peugeot 508T (d-segment).
Yes if i was split between these 2 i would surely choose the 508T. Better specs, spacious interior and as powerful engine.

but the 408T offered 5 years (unlimited mileage) warranty wor  icon_idea.gif

ppl tend to worry about the following when comes to conti car:-

1. resale value - at once the salesman told me "last time when i say the resale value is good you also won't believe la, coz very few pug on the road, now you see.. more & more pug already." hmm... true indeed  nod.gif

2. maintenance & availability of spare part - any comment? i think should'nt be any issue for spare part as we hv a plant in gurun

3. spare part pricing & fuel comsumption - any comment?
Yes many car manufacturers are starting to offer this 5 year unlimited mileage warranty program. But some like Peugeot and VW are actually 3+2 years warranty. But still good all the same. Much better than Toyota's 3 yr or 100K warranty.

But was Hyundai the first to offer the 5 year warranty while Naza Kia the first to offer 5 years with unlimited mileage? Both full manufacturer's warranty.

For $126k 408t is the best buy. For the money,it's brings a lot to the table. The engine delivers pretty decent power and the car has high handling standards. The only competitor in this price is the Citroen C4,which  is the sold at the same price. This hatch back is a little smaller but very pretty! Has the same Prince THP engine (155hp) but mated with DGS gearbox. Quite an advanced gearbox, but has some problems,and I am not sure local SC can handle the issues.

 Booklyn M has to step up it's game if it wants to make a mark with Citroen in Malaysia. Customer support and properly trained service staff are so important for the survival of this make. In the past attempts have been rather feeble. DS5 is a sweet babe,certainly my choice in the D segment. Love the 2 litre turbo diesel!

Like you many have commented on the rather bare rear end of the 408. If you look at the new generation of Peugeot cars,that's the way they all are. The reason is,a simple back makes the Lion emblem a lot more prominent! 

There's roughly 30 of us here in this thread who are actual owners. We have discussed all the problems encountered. You will see there's really nothing serious. Go for this Lion,you'll not regret!
I thought the 408T has a slightly different engine which gives out 163Hp at 6,000 RPM?

I keep hearing that the 408 has suspension issues and is rather bouncy or whatever but I don't seem to notice it on mine. It does not seem any worse than my dad's camry 2.4 or the vios that I previously owned.
I can't say the same for the 408 turbo since I've not sat in it long enough but my NA certainly seems fine.
Being bouncy doesnt always mean its an issue. Most European makes are tuned for handing rather than comfort. I tested the 508 many times when it was launched. Yes it doesnt give you the kind of comfort that a Camry would but road handling is much better. Same with the Optima K5. Lacking in comfort but quite good taking corners at high speed.

not total waste my dear. I can feel the difference in terms of power delivery and engine smoothness. Just that wallet says otherwise.
Alot of that so called 'difference' is actually psychological. You may see some minor difference but no where worth the price ure paying for Ron 97 currently. The slightly better mileage (if any) will be easily obscured by the much higher cost of the Ron 97 fuel. Please be reminded that Ron 97 is not like the previous Shell V Power Racing. Although it sounds similar but the RON 97 currently used by Shell for instance is a slightly inferior version.

Using a higher octane fuel will not make much difference to internal carbon formation. Its actually a waste to use high octane fuel when your car only needs a lower grade. You wont get much difference in mileage or engine performance. The truth is that every grade of fuel has cleaning agents. Too much cleaning agents, some say, can actually damage your car.

Octane is a measure of how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. Only engines with higher compression ratios take advantage of higher octane gas.

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/autos/aut12.shtm

Another interesting article:

http://www.fraudguides.com/tips/june2.asp

So guys, please stop using Ron97 fuel. Its a complaete waste. If u really insist on using, then limit yourself to 1 full tank every 6 months just for a 'clean-up'. Again, i dont think its neccessary.

yes, no doubt the car can use ron95 but for optimum performance ron97 is recommended. i'm pretty sure there's difference in between.
Recommended by who? The people who run petrol stations in Malaysia? The people working for certain 'agencies' in Malaysia who would love to make more money from gullible Malaysians?

Do some reading up of your own. There are ample resources on the internet. Dont just have the herd mentality.

What petrol does K5 use?
The K5 together with many other cars like BMW, Merc and Audi runs on Ron 95 as its recommended fuel. Many modern cars can even run on Ron 91. Many modern cars have low compression ratios thus enabling the use of low octane fuels. Its only high performance cars with high performance ratios which require higher octane fuel.

relax.... i just wanted to know (or just a simple survey) see who is using ron95 or ron97 for their 408T.

my story comes from my colleague who is driving 308T feels that his car running not smooth enough (compare with test drive unit) when he collect his new car, upon calling his salesman only realized that the fuel is ron95, as a result he continue to drive until the tank almost empty and change to ron97, problem solved.

whether or not its really makes a difference? perhaps the owners of 408T can answer this.

and yes, i'm not the owner of 408T........yet.
Its always based on someone's 'experience' which sadly is psychological most of the time or due to other factors.

This reminds me of a medical survey that was done a few years back in a Western country (not sure which). In that survey a group of ppl were given a latest generation Multivitamin pill once a day for a period of 3 months. At the end of the 3 month period, they were asked to take a survey with questions on various aspects of their health and body. 85% of the group members claimed improvements in various aspects of their physical wellbeing.

But the fact was, they were all given a 'dud' pill or empty pill filled with granulated glucose or something like that with no medicinal properties whatsoever.

The power of the mind eh? biggrin.gif

Considering the 408T is force inducted, I suppose the RON rating plays a more significant role on its engine compared to its NA counterpart. But then that also depends on how much boost the turbo actually generates, so there might be some truth when they say prince turbo engine works better with RON97.
Again that would depend on whats specified for the car. If Ron 95 is specified then Ron 97 wont have much effect on performance.
