Although me no peugeot the owner, but thanks for the unbiased review. I sat in the 407 a couple of times, the suspension crashes as well in potholes and some rough patches here and there overall its a very comfortable and stable car on high speeds.

At first I thought I have no choice but to buy from these cronies and let them earn.. I was wrong .. They want to earn even in their sub standard after sale service Yet..many cucuk Kia and Naza cars so badly |

should take a ride at the 308 CC in the BACK SEAT. Those nyet nyet sound from the seat would annoy you like hell, and the front passenger & driver wont even hear the sound..

QUOTE(BuFung @ Aug 29 2012, 01:51 PM) No doubt, 407 and 408 are in different segments. Most people compare these two simply due the price factor. Frankly although the 408 is in C segment,is more classy, more spacious,more power and much better feedback feel at the steering wheel(turbo model )than the D segment brethren.I wrote some time back how 408 has practically killed the used 407 market. Who would pay $90k for a 3 year old 407 with no warranty when you can get brand new 408 with 5 year warranty, for $20k extra. The 20k margin narrows when you factor higher finance on used car. Different segments yes, but finally, it's about value for money and how much one is willing to part with.

QUOTE(BuFung @ Aug 31 2012, 06:18 PM) Take a look at both cars for yourself. I was negotiating for a 2009 407, final price 90k. That same week the 408 was announced at 110k. So I have had a good look and test driven both cars. 407's interior is dated. Btw 09 is the facelift model, with interior changes. To compare cabin space, you have to see it for your self. From the outside the 407 got better looks,but in power,steering feel, interior style and space,the 408t wins hands down! This post has been edited by SKYjack: Sep 1 2012, 09:31 AM |

Just don't kid yourself you're buying a 'premium' car, it's definitely not one in Europe that's the domain of German makes. Then you'll be ok.
Peugeot is far far from being a big premium market player, they are the Koreans of Europe This post has been edited by rcracer: Sep 1 2012, 11:17 PM |
