White.....I thought same batch so all will get car around the same time....looks like skyjack and sbd will be one of the first to get their cars

Sometimes certain people get 'privilege' of bringing the test drive unit back home. I've faced few situation where the test drive unit is not available during the weekend because of this case. Not implying specifically on the 408 you saw.

Yeah, I've also booked the blue. Maybe I should switch to bronze??

This should be bronze color I think.

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.

Whoever plan to book from Peugeot HQ (Glenmarie), PM me and I will recommend an SA who I believe is giving quite a nice deal. No commission gained from my side, just to support fellow forumers here. If you expect cash discount or rebate, there're none and I don't think Peugeot will give away cash discount.

Yup, SA told me will be getting it by the end of this month.

Still don't understand how the 'immobilizer with no alarm works'.
Seems that even VW polo comes with the package.
Anyone can explain or give a link??

once you lock the doors, the car is immobilised meaning the car can no way be started as the ecu is on off mode (or something like that). the key also has a sort of rolling code which changes every time you arm it. actually it is a lot more complicated. i just summarised it. hope it helps. someone with a bit deeper knowledge can share how the peugeot immobiliser works.

Thanks, I'm ok with the immobiliser.
Is 'no alarm' meaning no door sensor to triggle alarm when someone breaks-in??
No alarm sound to scare anyone if they follow you into the car park??

Just need some clarification on how it works.
Not planning to install extra alarm, just need to know how it function.

Hi all,

I've been reseaching for a C-segment car for a while..testing most of the usual suspects...the pug 408 gives ticks most of the boxes.

One issue I have is the wiper..it seems the wiper is set for left hand drive and remains so even with right hand drive conversion. The wiper for passenger is longer and this means the driver side has less visibility....

I've asked the SA and he mentioned it's not a big deal ..(in short ask me to live with it). Did anyone else notice or is concerned about this and any reply from the SA to weather we can switch blades etc?

Blame the French. They didn't do the conversion properly. AFAIK, you can switch the blade, but it will require a minor modification. The easiest way is to change the right blade to a longer one (brand new). But the left side will always pop out first and fall back last. There's nothing you could do about that.

I don't know about 408 as I'm yet to see it but on 308, you can find some other improperly done conversions, such as the switch to open the hood (it's located on the passenger's door), the handbrake location, the reason why the shallow glove box.

Yea....that's the problem with french cars. Even the UK specs are like that...

I can live with the handbreak, petrol cap button, hood button and all but I have an issue with the wiper. That affects driving and safety....

Other than that, I think this is a good car to buy for the price.

Yes, the wipers did irritate me sometime but I don't think it will compromise the safety and the driving experience much. Most of the time, I didn't realize the wipers are 'reversed'. I just can tell from my own experience. Yours might be differ. Perhaps you can test the car during the rain to see and feel for yourself

yup. no sound at all.

Thanks for the feedback.....planning to..just to make sure it's not too much a of a problem.

never heard of that before but ive experienced bringing the test drive unit to your front door anyway, i test drove this pug last week out of curiosity since i've heard about people praising how powerful the 308 is. well for a 1.6, it's not that bad actually. managed to climb up a slope with 3 people in the car effortlessly. i guess all's there to complain is whether the odd shaped tail can be accepted or nay.

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!

SA just called me to inform that my loan has been approved and car is ready. So, I will have to pay the remaining downpayment tomorrow and discuss all the vouchers and free gift which he has promised

Not sure when I can get the car though.

Hi,new user here.just book the turbo version last sunday.

Any discount or freebies? Waiting period ?
