QUOTE(SKYjack @ Jul 25 2012, 04:56 PM) 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! Ya, i know 408 is the amazing car.. i will try to ask when meet SA. thxFinal words - no regrets,simply love the handling and performance! Added on July 26, 2012, 3:46 pm QUOTE(kejusan @ Jul 25 2012, 10:32 PM) 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... This post has been edited by KLTEOH: Jul 26 2012, 03:46 PM |

You mean blue and grey discontinued! Wonder why blue discontinued,was quite popular. Even our owners list got quite a number of blues. 2.0 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. |

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. |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 13 2012, 12:21 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 26 2012, 02:14 PM) 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. YES, for long term, it is good for all of us.. as u said, our next ride will be greater.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! |

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Aug 30 2012, 09:35 PM) 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 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.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! |

hi brothers and sisters here, 408t have turbo timer?? because when i turn off the car engine, the fan of the engine still running.. maybe after 1min it will turn off automatically. One more thing. Everytime start the engine need to wait until the warning light "STOP!!" went off??.. because my SA told me need to wait the light off before start the car engine. someone can explain?? thx.
So far no have anything to complain, just 1 important thing i need to COMPLAIN is the handling is SUPERB. This post has been edited by KLTEOH: Sep 4 2012, 02:57 PM |

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Sep 6 2012, 09:12 AM) 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. thx for this info.. i also looking for this answer..To make it back to normal position, press the wiper controller down again. Added on September 6, 2012, 10:04 am QUOTE(SKYjack @ Sep 5 2012, 03:56 PM) 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. thx for ur details explanation.. 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! This post has been edited by KLTEOH: Sep 6 2012, 10:05 AM |
