Older gen of 308 used 4AT which has lots of problem. Newer batch 308 is 6AT

Yeah, is true.

Also, there is also a common problem on Turbo charger...which due to carbon. Any idea how to prevent this?

My female frend's that driving a 308T had replaced her Turbo charger once....she cant really explain how it feel when the Turbo is lack of power.

Review reveal that this has been resolved for 408T, heard that 408T been tested for 60K Km before it launched without any carbon buildup. I really hope this is real.

There is no permanent solution for the premature carbon buildup. However there is preventive maintenance. Join 308T club at FB. Turbo charger unit is known to crack. Unfortunately no prevention,only an expensive unit to change! Anyway it's not as if every 308t has this problem.

6spd 308t comes with a remapped ECU. This has solved alot of the problems on the 4spd models.

Yup, it changes gear real quick sometimes below 2000rpm. But I've been driving for more than a year so already got used to the character of it. Everytime I wanna overtake, I'll drop a gear or two before gunning the throttle
Got this car back in Oct/Nov 2011. First batch only got 1 model of 508 which they call "Premium" in the current offering. Asked the SA whether GT is coming or not, and SA say not coming, so I just buy this as there's no other choice.

I see that the current 508 has got heated seats, where as mine doesnt. I dont mind the missing feature as it now leaves a hole in the center console so I can put my phone there

Oh, if the GT was available you'd have gotten it?

When they started to sell the 6AT?
Can't tell the difference when looking at used models.

That would be awesome.
RCZ is a looker but not really practical, plus 208 GTI can be a sleeper brows.gif

Initially was so disappointed the GT was introduced a month after I got my 408t. Now seeing how reliable the 408t is, have settled with it. Besides I'm not sure if local expertise are sufficient to handle high-tech innovations on the 508GT.

From your posting I understand you do not know the Prince engine on the 408t is different from all other Pugs. The Prince is EP6CDTM and carries 8 mods addressing reliability issues. The engine has been given a serious make over and is proving to be reliable compared with it's older brothers.

Whilst premature carbon buildup has been reported on all DIs, contis & japs ,as low as 25K km, this Prince has been bench tested to 60K km without any carbon buildup.

That's not surprising for C-segment cars.
My Civic 1.8 and friend's Altis 1.8 did around the same for such a trip.

Good to know.
No wonder the 408T feels more like GTI and 308T feels more like CFE laugh.gif
Too many variations on the Prince setup, though good to see the economics of scale trickling down to us consumers -- pugs nowadays very affordable nod.gif

NAZA has made Pugs affordable to Malaysian. To ensure Pugs continue to grow in Malaysia it is important to provide proper customer service & support. In the past this has been rather lacking. Serious efforts are made to improve with setup of Peugeot Blue Box SC nation wide. I'm sure there's room for further improvements. Good to know efforts are being made in the right direction.
