The 408t is an amassing car,go for it. No cash rebates as the car was only introduced 2 months ago and I believe is selling well. I booked during launch and got cap,umbrella and full tank petrol. Don't know if you'll get any free gifts now,but you can always try!
Final words - no regrets,simply love the handling and performance!

how well is the 408 selling ? i heard the new elantra had over 5000 bookings according to the car bikes and trucks website

Elantra need to wait few months to get the car. My father book it 3 month until today havent receive anything. He plan to cancel the booking since the SA said might need to wait til early next year. Im personally plan to get 408 turbo. Still waiting for best deal here.

Go get the turbo, it's fun to drive. No complain so far....my only complain is the door is so heavy to open....

Those wish to get Peugeot car at Penang, i can introduce my SA. He can give more than those free gifts. PM me if you're interested.

Yes. I got the sticker few day later after collect my car. I have stick it at back of warranty booklet cover.

Yes, you told them that. I've told them the same thing but they keep saying that there should be other 'real' certificate of warranty. However, they didn't refuse to inspect my car. They just want to keep it as their record but advice me to ask SA about this certificate to avoid any problem when claiming for warranty.

Bookings does not necessarily translate to sales. Anyway, I believe one should choose his/her car based on his/her priority, not on how many bookings/sales certain models of car has achieved. And just so you know, my final decision is between Elantra vs 408 and guess what, I've choosen 408 and loving it

If you have the buck, please go for 408T. I'm not really craving its powerful engine but more to it's excellent steering feedback and safety feature of course. Each time I take high speed corner, I couldn't stop hoping that I could take the corner with more confidence as I (presumeably) would be with electro-hydraulic steering. If only the NA comes with electro-hydraulic... And the steering feel is one of the reason I've choosen 408 instead of Elantra eventhough 408NA hydraulic steering is quite light, Elantra's steering is super super light (!)

I have sit inside my fren new elantra 1.6a... Few days after she collected the car, I asked her to drive me for a spin...guess what, the car jerks at low speed..I m not sure it's the gearbox or what...

Well, to be fair, the first few days I drove my 408, the car jerks when shifting gears. Apparently it's because of the adaptive transmission and it is learning the driver's way of driving. A week after that, the transmission became smooth. So it may have been the same issue on Elantra as well.

Kejusan, It feels like the gear changes from 1st to 2nf and so on so forth was not smooth. U have that in ur 408? Mine don't have.

Btw, can pm me mr chong number who does Sierraglow? M interested. Other than paint work, it covers windows,rims,plastic, rubber?

I have not told them anything as I have not gone for my 1st inspection. I got my car from HQ NAZA Pj. When HQ itself does not issue any additional paperwork what are these fellows barking about. Do they even know what constitutes a certificate of warranty. If they are wanting an additional piece of paper,wait till I see them! The warranty certificate we have got is legal tender. It has all the ingredients to make it legal tender! I'd like to see them face to face on this. I'll get to the bottom of this when I see them.

Like to hear from our bros here,if any one was issued a separate certificate of warranty apart from the 3 booklets?

Added on July 26, 2012, 3:46 pmme also same like u.. i test drive elantra, new civic2.0navi and 408. handling elantra and civic almost the same.. when come to 408. the handling is superr. feel confidence when u touch the steering wheel. power, response and safety, 408 is top on it..but 408 resale value is a bit low..their are many way u choosing ur own car.. some1 care about the performance, quality and safety then go for european car. doesn't mean japan and korea car are no safety enough. but just in Bolehland their don't offer us in this price range. if got more open minded people.. than the resale value sure is not a big problem. (me is once of them)

why is 408 handling better than civic and elantra ?

Ayioooo you got to ask this question ka! Go test drive then you know what we mean.

I noticed the button for inside air circulation is always off after I turn off the engine and have to manually turn it on each time I start engine.

Any fix to this?

Nope. All contis are like that ... unless u restart your car within a short time, the recirculate button will be switched off by default

I am not sure if that statement is correct - I do not remember my 407 being like that nor all my previous alfas

yes, go to test then u will know..experience ur self.. dun always follow what other said.. belief urself..

Bro KLTEOH book your car already. Which one and what colour.
