Hi guys, just sent my Lion for 1st 10k service! I did at 10350 actually & was scared sh#t wil exceed 10,500 !! Was impressed though, service advisor covers the steering & gear knob with plastic laminates & seat with new protective sheet. Not bad ah


Added on December 29, 2012, 9:53 amBtw, had also driven my 408 NA to Singapore ( Lion enters the Lion City !) last week b4 Xmas. On a stretch b4reaching skudai, had tried pitching against VW Passat CC & Scirocco !. Seriously NA can kept pace with Passat Cc with more room to go. As for Scirocco, the 1st 100kmh its surely ahead but not for long as by 150-160kmh til 185kmh, just nicely 20-30metres behind. Looks like 2.0 has enough grunt to keep pace once exceed 110kmh. Btw, the road was clear & certainly safe plus with the solid handling & braking capabilities. Also, I noticed at 140kmh, rpm is at 3.6k.

I'm very glad to hear this news. I think PBB is making a serious effort in customer service.Especially so,since Peugeot has invested heavily in Malaysia. It will be difficult, as people always remember the previous bad days.

Before I bought my Pug,I actually did a private investigation on PBB and SC of a German make.Being a technical person myself,proper maintenance is crucial to me! Spoke to front desk reception and inspected workshop. Final impression is that competence level with PBB is much higher! I can see PBB continue this trend. I believe Peugeot is here to stay!

Hehehe........well done on keeping the German boys on check! But actually both those cars can easily tapau even my turbo la! Those guys are super & turbo charged la!

Skyjack you're right, indeed effort has been put into it & hopefully it gets better from here smile.gif smile.gif ! I too had benefited from this sharing by u sifus! Hehe, as on the VW , ur right lah, but at the end, its on street road and not race track. But anyhow its just my testing of this machine that costs a fraction, rides & handles comfortably & an engine & tranny that is also responsive I might say.

I find it funny how ppl actually love to compare against other luxurious makes using acceleration at traffic lights, etc to gauge their own car's performance. How do u even know that the driver's of those cars were actually pushing their cars hard in the first place? They could merely be cruising while you are throttling hard to keep up. Even i could sometimes overtake much bigger cars with my Vios on a straight sprint but does that put my car on par with them? Surely not.

The Passat CC would easily thrash the 408 NA with its extra 50Nm torque which is why its 0-100kmph sprint is almost 4 secs faster. What does that tell u? And how is it that being able to keep up with a car while travelling at a constant 150-160kmph any indication of performance? Even a Myvi can maintain that speed easily enough.  rclxub.gif

In short, all im saying is that while i agree that the 408 is a good car we should refrain from using such yardsticks to measure performance.  biggrin.gif

You are one funny bloke actually & too bad lah you're not an owner and dont experience what 408 owner does. It's a shame really.
