Did a test drive just now.
Tested the turbo version,it was powerful and impressive with the NVH thumbup.gif
Comfort wise so so...becoz of the sportier suspension setup,but I m ok with it tongue.gif
Overall is a valuable choice.
Wondering the cost of maintenance hmm.gif forgot to ask..
is anyone know roughly how much it is?

You can actually floor it more for immediate Turbo...seems like the accelerator is two steps type. Try it...but make sure the road is clear. biggrin.gif

I am interested in getting the car (turbo) and before test drive, maybe I can help to test out certain features or issues not detected previously. Since you are the first to test drive, do you mind sharing where you test drive the car, distance of test drive and when you mean comfort wise so so, can you elaborate a little bit on the statement?

I like the front more than the back, but I am not looking for sporty design, else I would have selected elantra already. But, looking at 163hp and maximum torque is 240 Nm at 1,400 rpm...I bet the pick-up at traffic light is fantastic and would beat all C-segment drive. Further more top speed at 215 is no slow couch either and even on par with some D-segment drive.

Might not win on the best spec and cabin design, but sure the hell beats all the Jap cars. Furthermore, conti drive and handling wor, at RM126K, fuh yoh...

Now just wanting for someone to convince me on the reliability of the engine and after sales service... sad.gif

I was tested at bukit tinggi klang branch.
In fact I tested 308t b4 but I felt that 408t is more powerful.
The suspension is stiffer n some more due to the low profile tyre,thus, it was a bit bumpy..
The distance is about 5-6 km,there is 2 straight road for me to test the power tongue.gif in fact I can request for 1 more round but due to time constraint so didn't go for it wink.gif
I personally think that black color is a good choice, looks very nice matching with the chrome lining at the front n rear bumper. wub.gif

Cool! Bro did you ask the SA other questions like car delivery time, colour selection (which colour delivery time faster, etc.)?

You comment the NVH was very good, so when you were shooting down the straight road, at what speed were you driving? At the speed you were driving, you did not hear any wind or road/tyre noise?

Did you get to check the sound system? Is it 6 speakers or more like 4+2 tweeter?

Sorry ah, ask so much questions...will try to go for a test drive after the school holidays so want to do a checklist for comparison...

I guess now it's elantra 2012 vs 408 vs (coming soon) focus 2012 for me to confirm my new ride...

I didn't ask so details bro,as I was not interested to buy tongue.gif
I floored the pedal at the straight road and managed to hit 110kmh (no longer enough the road) and the nvh is still good nod.gif
Btw I didn't test the radio tongue.gif

I took it up to 180kmh. No flooty feel,rock steady! The power was smooth and effordless. whistling.gif The Lion just wants to chew up the hwy! But our roads are so lousy,the car was very bouncy so did not go any higher.Traffic also is quite heavy at hwy to Seremban so not safe. Pulled back to 140kmh which was a lot more comfortable. Will try LEKAS hwy,a lot quieter there,but have to find an excuse to leave my wife at home,hehehe! biggrin.gif

Bro, if you wanna try your car top speed better do it ASAP becoz once AES come into force, you got no where to perform your top speed then tongue.gif
