fuh.. so the flaming part over? its good to be back.

Simple advice, if there anyone see any 408 coming fast from behind, just give way to them. And if see any 408 infront, approach with reasonable speed and dont tailgate them. Our bumper arent cheap, kena sikit will cost few thousands. For some owner maybe not about the money but all this shit accident really wasting alot of time.

If 408T come and tailgate me, I will smoke them lol

vijay, the 95 gives more mileage. 20 cents per km. the 97 goes for 30 cents per km. but perhaps, its when I am using the 97, i tend to step harder???
*
20cent per km, that's a high consumption machine

Good looking car,but am disappointed with performance figures - 138hp/220nm. 138hp for a 1.6t is rather poor. Korean 1.6NAs are already putting out 125hp. However the 220nm with BMW will make a difference. Need to test drive before i can comment!

I had the E46 rated at 150hp. That is a lame duck against our 408t.
*
I tot is 250nm?

how much the BMW 316??

any1 can explain what is chip use and how to increase the horsepower???
for information only  brows.gif  yawn.gif

316 cost 209k, not yet include insurance

Chip is an electronic device to boost HP and torque, plug and play. Will not void warranty. I'm no sure PEOGUET have it or not

You have your own choice to drive fast or slow, once you die crashing, that's your own business. Don't ask people to drive according to your very own safety style, that's funny.

If everyone to drive slow, better drive kancil.

What for buy Ferrari, put at home

407 and 408 is same model?

if 2009, 2.0, 71k, is this worth to grab?

currently driving vios, my wife wanted to use car, so planned to give she drive vios, cause my vios already 110k mileage, 2010 E spec.

my budget within 80k, is comfortable with me. so search around mudah, and saw this car.

New car always bette. So pug is not within your range, yet. I'm talking bout 408. Mayb 208 suit your budget but to remind you, pug FC is high

I tested Ford Focus Titanium+ (sedan) before I decided to own 408T. In terms of technical specifications and features, I believe you can read from the brochure/online information.

Some comments from me during my test drive:
1. Outlook. I would said the FF sedan has better looking than 408T, especially the Sport model.

2. Interior. I preferred 408T because of the bigger cabin. FF wheel base is almost 408T, but the seats cushions are too bulky. And I believe this cause the cabin of FF become smaller.

3. The dashboard, I picked 408T because I dislike the dashboard of FF, due to too many buttons on dashboard and the steering. For me, I rather to pick the clean and clear design.

4. Boot size, 408T still bigger than FF. The sport FF boot size is the worst.

However, we got to remember FF is 2.0NA engine, with power shift. It is heavier compare than 408T. But step on the gas pedal, the acceleration still not bad. I feel impressive with its acceleration.

By the way, it could be my feel or the test car problem, I feel jerking during low speed cruising. City driving, less than 60kmh, RPM around 2k to 3k, the car jerk all the way.
*
Yes, the jerking issue is there for FF, between these two I would pick 408t for daily drive as well. Small car easy to drive

Suspension wise, it is not harsh at all. The body rolling force is very minimum. I would said, FF is comfort while 408T is bit bumpy. But I think its thicker tires improve the comfort level of driving. If not mistaken, it runs on 16" alloy wheels. 408T is on 17", profile 45, plus the horse brand MC5 tires, which is harder than the FF.

By the way, after 4 months driving, I can feel my suspension getting a little softer than before. I could be wrong or maybe I already get used with it. Even my wife does not complained if she sits at the back with her nephew. She said no more bumpy feeling. Anybody has the same feeling?

Something to add, FF steering is great and sharp at turning. And the size is just nice to hold. This is what I like. Can Ford sell the steering to us? hahaha....

The another bad thing regarding to interior, I would say sorry, I dislike the brown color cushion, dashboard and steering. I preferred black color interior.

For the auto parking, you must get the FF Titanium+ with additional 10k++. By the way, the FF T+ provides more and better accessories, and the most attractive part is the electronic seats for both front seat. The normal version is only the driver side.

But turbo charge always give you a better feel during driving. The low end muscle is nice and you can act naughty at 3rd link. Get into the link, and flash to the car in front, excuse me, can you give way? My wife says, she notices I like to do this since I get my Lion.

However, until today, there are few car models make me feel shame after I flashed them from behind.
1. Golf GTI (the previous model, I flashed him at my 150 and suddenly he pick up. Then I can only see his tail light)
2. BMW 5 (he flashed me and I got to give way even I am 170 kmh)
3. BMW X5 (he followed me tight even I am 150kmh, got to give way)
4. Audi A4 (overtaking me in split of second while my speed is 150. I step harder on step but only can see his tail light)
*
All of them are with higher turbo charge engine capacity and technology, different league, so you do not compare with them, however speed of 408t is more than enough to overtake all the 2.0 NA vehicle. I would buy this for my daily ride

Saw a 408T overheat and stop on the way to Cameron Highland, but after cool down, continue the journey , offer help to follow behind the car with my Triton just in case it happen again, ( no telephone line along the old road )so bad I can offer my help to Ringlet only as I have to meet customer there.

Guys, watch out of the temperature of the lion, seems like many cases lke this already.

U r comparing 230k wirh 120k... however u prefer 120k
WTF is that... lolx. Have some mercy to VW

Wrong comparison. If you take GTI vs 408T, story totally different. The price is also 230vs120k

So the main point is you pay with cheaper price to get a turbo feel vehicle, where else to get this bargain? 5years warranty bring peace of mind as well. Well worth.

You want save more money, buy the fake turbo prexx... doh.gif

Rear fog lamp: The single light help following traffic know its not a brake light.
Having rear fogs on both sides is problematic because it can cause that confusion and needlessly create standing waves in traffic, or increase risk as folks will not notice as quickly when you do press the brakes.

No alarm system: we dont need it since there's no resell value.. tongue.gif

I just bought the Peugeot 408 NA for 2 months +.
Today is my car fist inspection.  They give me the after sales service is bad service and rude service.
The inspection need to take 2 hours + include the car wash. I also make some complaints abt the car.
After the 3 hours I go and take back my car. The car is no wash, all the complaints no done. Some more my passeger side door scared by other car when they are open the car door. When I take back my car key at service counter,  I told them I hv take the 5 years free services. They answer me back with the rude : " who say you have 5 years free services,  who give you, where is letter to prove you that you have 5 years free services" ! . After that they also warn me : " you must come back to do the first service, if not I will void you voucher"!
I very disappointed with them.  This kind of services that they gv after sales service.

The service level is so terrible.
