dear skyjack, i noticed you mentioned in several occasions that the 408 has the electro-hydraulic steering which you love so much while the 407 does not. if i'm not mistaken, the 407 also uses the electro-hydraulic steering. Do correct me if i'm wrong but when i bought my 407, i noticed that it was mentioned in the brochure.

Quote "Regarding driving dynamics, I am pleased to see it keeps the 407's electro-hydraulic power steering, even though switching to a pure electrical rack would have saved more money and boosted fuel economy by a couple of percentage. No wonder the 508 delivers excellent steering feel. Finally someone puts driving fun on top priority !"

Quote "For fuss-free cruising, the electro-hydraulic steering (luckily Peugeot did not switch to full electric assistance) is a little numb at straight-ahead. But once you push 407 into corners, it becomes alive! on lock, it directly connects the driver to the road, transmitting streams of information to the driver’s hands. The speed-sensitive assistance is well judged, well weighted. The 2.8 turns steering ratio is quick and responsive."

with both drivers making it to ICU in a crash like that...y not a pug anyone know which model is that? wish them both the best..

For the 407, the status of that button is 'memorized'. so if you choose to recirculate the air, after u restart the car, the recirculate button will stay ON and vice versa, unless you turn off the aircon....i think if you do that, it resets to auto mode...but i never switch off the aircon so its always the same before and after i turn the engine on. for the c-class, the recirculate button always goes back to OFF after you restart the engine. so i guess it depends what the manufacturer thinks is best for their customers

nice :) so honda and hyundai helped pug make the sale in your case lol they launch new model...they attract you to their showrooms...and then repel you to pug...

woah..lets take a step back and cool down.. i'm sure we all love our pugs but sometimes we shouldnt get too offended when we receive negative comments. as much as we love our pugs.. it isnt perfect (perfect for the price maybe) and comfort/beauty really depends on the individual everyone has their views... perhaps u guys need a 408 TT session to get to know one another... this should be a friendly place to discuss about the 408 ..

i agree with the stalks behind the steering...very useful at the right places. at first it was difficult as you cant see them but once u know where they are...u never press the wrong button coz they're not a bunch of buttons side by side...u can keep ur eyes on the road while tweaking things .. i actually like the cluster free steering wheel too

i think door visors disrupt the aerodynamics and increases cabin noise (wind)...thats y most (if not all?) continentals do not have door visors. do correct me if i'm wrong.

I guess he did some running around in penang. 2 yrs back, i did about 800km too with about 55l of petrol on my 407, 3 adults with luggage. Went to penang for a wedding. Drove a little there, then north of juru for a bit (heavy traffic) and then drove back. Still had about 10l left (based on trip computer calculation which is very accurate from my experience. I could still drive in KL/PJ for a while before i needed to take more petrol (66l tank). However, i had to cruise all the way and only occassionally exceeding the 120kmph cruising speed to overtake safely. Unfortunately, running around the city is a totally different story

i cant totally agree with the great customer service part..but pretty receptionist...cant deny that..
