Type A will normal Euro alike which slightly longer and Type B are special design.

Today drive back to Kuantan with the new lion. The lion really roaring on the road. Easily touch the pedal and reach 170 and still smooth. At karak is very bouncy but after karak toll (after take the ticket), no more bouncy. Is due to road.

When I coming from behind, all the BMW, Mitsubishi have to give way, how nice the feel. Those day when I drove city, I have to give way. When after gambang toll and on the road lead to Kuantan, the power of overtaking zig zag is so nice feeling.

That is what I said no need to push your car to 225 to test the power. Just like when go up Genting and easily overtaking instead of everytime no power and have to goto side to give way to behind cars.

After do the coating it make the car washing so easy, just spray water and then rub with cloth. That's it, shining.

The most satisfying is at 180 and still no wind sound on the door window like my previous city where will hear loud wind sound at 140.

lol, I see any car coming fast behind me I also would give way. What more you're travelling at 170km/hr. Nobody likes being signaled or high-lighted. Suggest you take things a little easier when you come back, safer for you and safer for other motorist

Quick question: is the 408 1.6 turbo engine the same as 308 turbo engine?

Purist might not agree...hehe..

But for ppl who just wanna drive and enjoy...It dun matter

The leather seat is super hot especially park under hot sun. Any one else experience thus displeasure of butt roasting.

Afaik its normal for leather seats

Both are Prince engine,but not the same! 408's engine comes with 8 mods, making it more reliable and few more horses.

Today drive up to penang. Power and handling is undeniable awesome. Another thing i notice for the radio is that has auto search for u. I was listening to lite fm from kl. and it has auto detect the frequency twice. Didnt even know have this function

With a good tint...its not as bad..and cools down fast

Tried the roads going to balik pulau, feringghi and tg bunga? Be careful though!

You'll really enjoy this car on that stretch,as the car practically sticks to the road at the curves! You are right,be careful,the handling is addictive. Don't get carried away!

Hi all 408 owners,i am sort of undeciding whether to get the turbo or the 2.0NA.in town,i normally drive at about 60 to 80 kph whereas in highway just 100 to 130 kph only.I had tested the turbo, it was so powerful.I plan to use this car for at least 5 to 7 years, so I am worried about the turbo engine might be causing problems in the future.any advise?and any 2.0 owner here why u chose 2.0 instead of turbo?

Turbo version is very additive. It gets u to 140-150 without you knowing it...

Hi Patrick
NA comes with a tried and tested engine,it is reliable. With the turbo,it's not all about speed only. Yes it has decent power and gets to high speeds very quickly. More importantly, it has good low end torque to get one out of a dicey situation! Sometimes you need quick acceleration to avoid danger, thats when this car delivers! The car comes with additional safety features. Any one of the additional safety feature may play an important role in an unforeseen event,hope such an event does not happen,touch wood!

I'm sure you would have read all the info here at this thread. I've said it a few times that this turbo engine carries 8 mods over the old Prince,addressing reliability issues. There's easily a dozen or more of us who got our Lions just after the launch. Not a single engine complaint. In addition you've got 5 year warranty.

Road tax is lower and better FC. So city or urban you save, every mile you drive! IMO.

Hi skyjack.yes I have read almost all forums about 408.so far I haven seen any1 complaint about the 408 engine yet.so that a good thing.

Just go for the thp patrick

I chose the thp coz of the extra torque that helps me in overtaking through my weekly commute through state roads which most of the time is full of lorries. Other than that, the leather seats (yes I've leather fetish lol).

I dont give a fuss over possibilities of problems, since I know problems can come anytime to any car or any engine or any equipment, and I have my wife's car as backup.

Hi x800,yes u got a point, turbo give u extra power to overtake the lorries at highway especially!Yes the only complaint so far from this forum is the leather seat and air cond.some1 suggest a good tint will do the job.
