yeah. RM 6 per person to see the drift and RM 5 per car for parking. Quite exciting seeing them to drive in high speed. Just dislike the tyre smells. You should call
Kah Loon Wong and Andrew to drop by if got free time every Saturday night.

Thanks for the info SKYjack. The 408 Turbo looks like it has the most capable engine in the Peugeot line-up. How about acceleration and torque? Can it beat a Civic 2.0L and/or an Altis 2.0V?
*
Civic 2L and Altis 2L produce just under 200nm torque. To achieve that the engine has got hit about 4500rpm. 408t puts out 240nm at 1400rpm. Not only is the torque higher, it's at a very low 1400rpm. This means 408t will pull away much quicker while the Jab boxes are pushing hard to get up to 4500rpm before they can produce 200nm. You need 2.4NA engine to match 408t acceleration!

I tested Civic before. It's the 2.0 full spec version.
And definitely 408T will blows Civic away in terms of acceleration and torque. But not sure abt Altis, but based on the experience on had a T. Wish in my family. It will be no match with Prince Turbo.
However, I went for a test on the Golf MK7 last Sat. The torque and pickup of this car will easily smoke Prince Turbo away... No wonder they call MK7 as Global Car!!

Some correction, VW took out the supercharge from MK7.
And I just noticed yesterday, MK7 weight around 1.8tons at the gross weight. Gosh....

Both cars won't have the torque to beat the 408T. In real life, the Civic and Altis would probably output around 155Nm to 165nm of torque, while the 408THP would probably output 205Nm to 215Nm. On top of that the 408THP has a better range compared to the Japanese NA because of the turbocharger.

But the previous generation Civic 2.0L supposedly is still capable of 0 to 100 times in full automatic D mode in 9.9s. Respectable but still not capable enough in topping the 408THP.

The Altis 2.0V does it around 10.xs, which is even worse than the Civic.

The Civic R would be a different story altogether but it also sits in a different price range.

I tested it as well along with another forummer. It's a VERY capable car. The refinement is there too, but it's still a bit too pricey :/

Yes, agree. The refinement is good.
However, my wife first sight on the car, straight away told me she don't like the car. Haha.... Maybe due to too pricey and smaller car? She even told me, such 160k price car don't come with leather seat?!?! Lolx... However, at a driver perspective, it's such a GOOD car.
Am still waiting the comparison between MK6 and MK7 from Kenso. My friend own MK6 but he didn't go for test drive on MK7, so unable to comment the performance in between. Anyone did the comparison?

I called the bank, Naism branch manager, SA (currently resigned) as well as the second hand car dealer.

Bank: Your HP loan is not settle.
Nasim branch manager: To trade in the car, the deal is customer with the SA, nothing link to Nasim or Peugeot.
SA: The 2nd hand dealer said not yet pass puspakom and they will need for that to settle my loan.
2nd hand car dealer: Puspakom passed last week and submitted document to bank to settle the loan. Call me back at 2pm.

I am totally hopeless with these and I told the branch manager that I will make a police report if Nasim / Peugeot is not taking responsibility for this. The branch manager claim that I should settle with the SA, not Nasim. I asked her back:" Wasn't the SA representing Nasim when he sell me the car and do the trade in deal with me?" She declined. She says Nasim only sell car, other than that, is not their problem.

I told her that I will make a police report and ask the police to go to her branch to settle the case. She told me that never mentioned Nasim or Peugoet. I said I dont care, because I made the deal there.

Nasim PJ, next to Federal Highway.

I got my 408T a month ago and I trade in my car with the same SA. I checked with my bank and found out that my loan is not settle yet. =.= I meant the previous car loan is still there.

Well, Nasim PJ has no legal obligation or responsibility at all in the whole matter. It's between you and the used car salesman. You can lodge a police report but my advise is that you talk to the used car sales first before you escalate the matter.

Regardless, you need to settle your existing car loan or outstanding installment. That means even if you have to eat grass for the next few months also you better pay off your installments or you will get blacklisted.

You should ask @EnergyAnalyst for advise, he used to work in the banking sector and I think his wife is still in the banking sector. If anything, he's the person to ask on what you can do for your old car loan.
