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! thumbup.gif

Ya, i know 408 is the amazing car.. i will try to ask when meet SA. thx

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  rclxm9.gif

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...  nod.gif  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 (!)

me 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)

1. kejusan - blue
2. Poyoguy - blue
3. Gill71. - blue
4. AHY20 - bronze

Turbo
1. SKYjack - blue
2. sbd - blue
3. kevinboey - white
4. din5353 - black
5. shyguy_shah - white
6. chinana - white
7. Kndfz. - Black
8. Termibait - white
9. OrangBiasa - White


NO.. just watch at the pictures posted by BS501. he didn't upload the blue and grey. if upload two more color i mention, then are completed all the 408's color range.

white it look nice also but very hard to take care.. finally i choose the blue same with u.

Welcome bro KLTEOH. What other car did you consider. What was the deciding factor for the turbo.
*
be4 make decision, i search some review about jetta, focus, mazda 3, elantra, civic, altis, cruze and peugeot 408t. There all are good cars. i consider the space, performance, reliable, safety and handling.

space : jetta, elantra, civic,altis, cruze, 408t(largest), mazda3
performance : jetta, focus, 408.
reliable : all
handling : 3 cars i ware tested ( elentra, civic and 408t) best is 408t. other i not sure.
safety(6airbags) : jetta , 408, mazda 3, focus
up to date engine and technology : jetta, 408, focus
value for money : focus, 408.

why no choose :

jetta : expensive. Is a good car.
focus : back sit ( less space)
mazda 3 : dun have skyactiv. 5 speeders
elantra : value of money in america (6 air bags) but in malaysia just 2 airbags. handling too light.
civic : still using SHOC engine tech. 5 speeders. handling light also. less performance(not difference with previous civic)
altis n sylphy: out dated tech. 4 speeders
cruze : 2 airbags.


finally go for 408T. value for money.. with the features offered. icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

I know exactly what you mean. I too was very concerned about the THP reliability. Of course no point asking the SA,they will always say those are old issues and have been solved. Even after booking, I kept researching THP issues. There were many problems in the UK forums. I also found out 6 mods were carried out addressing reliability. Reassuring point for me was that 508 owners were not complaining about the engine. Knowing that and Peugeot's 5 year warranty gave me the confidence to get the turbo.
*
i also consider this issue. but the Peugeot THP already been used since 2005. so trouble shooting for this engine should be no problems.

This is very general question that has far fetching implications.  I know business implication are grave and immence. I believe the government of the day will come with a workable rescue plan. It may not be a 100% cure,I have no idea. Not to get too long winded,I'm going to keep the answer to how I will be affected.
Although I bought my car 2 months ago and reduced tax will drop valve of my car drastically, I'm for the move. Peugeot has never had good resale valve in Malaysia. All of us buy the car knowing this. We buy this car for it has to offer, not how much we can sell it for later. Unfortunately this move of reducing tax will further drop the valve of my car. I'm not going to drool over it but when the time come to sell,I'll write it off on the years of pleasure of ownership of a great car. 
On the positive side,due to reduced tax,my next ride will be a even greater one!
As for the proposal of reducing tax, yes I'm all for it!
*
YES, for long term, it is good for all of us.. as u said, our next ride will be greater.

The points actually not much affected me. This is more to the fineness while assembling the car. They should giving more care on these tiny miny things~ The most attractive to me is the point number 3
I totally agree that the 6 speed gear is not SMART enough, it drag till around 2500rpm to change to the next gear. Its ridiculous it dragging the gear at 2200rpm while I am moving at a slow speed!! End up I was like the commenter changing the gear manually!
*
yes, i agree. when at D mode. it rev >2.2-2.5 in order to change to next gear. i think with this condition. fuel consumption will also increase but it is really good when u overtaking other car. Now, most of time i'm driving with M mode. i do agree it will good for fuel consumption cos i change to next gear with >2k rpm every time.

Turn off your engine, take out your key. And then press down your wiper controller just like how you turn on the auto wiper. Then it will go to parallel position.
To make it back to normal position, press the wiper controller down again.

thx for this info.. i also looking for this answer..

Turbos crankup quite a fair bit of heat in operation. Many ways of cooling depending on requirement and cost efficiency. On cars,comonly a timer is added to run the engine at idle for a few minutes,after ignition off.This is the old system. No timer on the 408t,cooling achieved by more efficient system which does not need engine operation,thus saving fuel.

On our Pug the turbo is a little compressor that rotates at phnominal speed. The faster it runs the more the heat generated. Every time you step on the padle for lagi 'syoik',the faster it spins, more the heat generated. Many of you are concerned about this generated heat,rightly so!

A combination of heat exchangers,motor assisted turbofan and sensors,calm our lion down. Heat exchanger is a set of pipes stuck together through which the hot oil is routed. When the pipes are exposed to air, heat dissipates. Air is blown on the pipes by a fan run by exhaust gases or by battery,in the case of ignition off. This is the reason for the fan to run a while after ignition off. Running period will depend on level of heat. Sensors switch off the fan when threshold temperatures are reached.

This of course is a very simplified explanation for easy understanding,there is a lot more to it! So don't worry guys,our lion is well cooled. Don't need to run it at idle before shut down. Hope this helps! If you still feel the need to idle run before shut down, no harm!

The slower you drive, the higher the fuel consumption (unless very fast I guess smile.gif ).
Pure highway I got 7.5 l/100 km (average speed 107 km/hr).
Worst reading is 12.3 l/100 km (average speed 34 km/hr).

yes u are right. it is a fast & power car. it need fast so fc will low. or when at low situation. we can try using M mode. dun let the rpm rev so much.. i sure it will get better fc. now i try to that. u can monitor your foot at the display in the panel screen there.. if u push harder. it will show u may be 20l/100km. when u light foot. may be show u 5.6l/100km or even less..hope can help and share some my experience.
