Waaaah jessy,that is one fears Pug la!

huge discount is being offered indeed.

the kind SA even offer me additional 1k.

test drove, feel tempted as it is a firm drive and quite adequate power. but, when he said 308 is going to phase out soon with 208 coming in around april. i don't feel like buying the 408 already

any bro having any insider info regarding the 208 GTI?

308 going to phase out to give way for 208? I think you better change your SA.
1) 308 just got a FL months ago
2) 208 is a replacement for 207, not 308
3) Don't think 208 GTI is coming in to Msia
4) 208 and 308 is totally different segment
5) Don't expect the 408's powerful performance from 208

i only need SA to sell a car to me, so it doesn't really matter. Sharing what i have heard only

You've done a good job jessyoe!! :-)
It's on my wishlist. .... soon... Hehehehe

I hope you dont mind I correct a few here in Tips And Tricks for the Drivers and Owners column.


3. Wind up windows remotely
This only apply for few minutes after you OFF your engine(in case your forgot to unwind your window). Press the remote lock for 2sec, and watch the magic happen

4. Lift up wiper without open front hood
BEFORE turn off engine, press down the wiper indicator once and your wiper should move up.

Dont just put on wishlist la. Get one and we go jalan jalan.

Jess, nice moding. I noticed the rims on your 408 different. Same set of tires or different from 225/45 R17 91W? wonder if it's possible to go 235?
with rims like these will be sweet --- > Some sample UK tire site

3) Don't think 208 GTI is coming in to Msia

by the way, careline has rationalised their numbers having just gotten a new support vendor. so, only the 1800886292 number remains. the assistance numbers are no longer active. careline staff work from 8.30am to 6.00pm. after that, the number goes to support vendor for towing only. free towing only for cars within 1 year of use.

On 308, it doesn't limited by time. You can always wind the window up anytime you want. Just unlock the door and then press and hold the lock button on the remote for a few seconds. It will automatically wind all the windows up. I guess it's the same with 408. Give it a try.

True story: Someone (other forum) actually told me that turbo engines should be compared to turbo engine cars whereas NA engines should be compared against NA engines to be fair.

So with that in mind, the tsi engine should be compared to the THP engine whereas the only comparison for the PUG 408NA is against the Polo Sedan, which isn't fair either...

Current thoughts are the NA 2.0 variant servicing price is actually a little on the high side if you compare against Japanese marques for regular intervals, even though the EW10A+ engine uses 1L more engine oil. I think their charges for engine oil is slightly on the high side. Oddly enough, VW is guilty of doing the same as well. To the best of my knowledge, Honda actually charges a lot less per liter for their fully synthetic engine oil. Even Toyota which I have been with them for the past 4 years don't charge a lot for fully synthetic engine oil. Perhaps their higher volume plays a role in the lower engine oil prices.

On the plus side, the 408 2.0 40,000km service cost less compared to the Japanese marque. A lot less actually if those prices are accurate. Then coming to 60,000km, it is more or less on par with T&H C-segment cars.

Edit: But as you have personally serviced your car at 10,000km. It actually doesn't cost as much as the listed price as in your attachment for the 2.0. It only cost more if they didn't waive the labor charges. In fact, at RM300.6 was it? It is only roughly RM50 more expensive than a regular Honda Civic (latest gen) service at 10,000km according to the service guide listed by Honda. The only problem is, all the owners I know actually only get charged around RM180+ instead. That's why those pricing is only good as a guide. The prices you submit as an owner is more accurate and we can actually see if there are any pricing discrepancies between different service centers.

Edit 2: If I were to compare the Jetta with the 408 THP, then on paper I'd say the Jetta cost more during the regular service intervals where the 408 major servicing at 60,000 is unbelievably expensive compared to the 60,000km Jetta service. But I'd actually have to start crunching some numbers to know for sure if they are actually on par with each other or is one more slightly more or much more expensive. I'll probably do that a little later in the week.

Not expensive as compare with Japanese car. 15k at that amount is reasonable. People still worry about resale value. During my CNY gathering, my friends are impress of my car, but asking about any problem with gear or engine and the resale value.

Yes Dude...U r correct. I tried this last time but never wait for 2 seconds or whatsoever....The guy who taught me this was 308 owner also..

Fierce indeed!
