QUOTE(SKYjack @ Feb 22 2013, 06:33 PM) If you are concerned about FC than get the NA. With careful driving I'm sure you'll get very good FC. With the turbo,although on paper it returns better FC than NA,it reality it is very difficult. I know some have achieved it. But for me and bro jfcheong, have to go for light foot surgery la, damn turbo is so addictive! LOL!! light foot surgery!!    |

QUOTE(hbgoh57 @ Feb 22 2013, 06:41 PM) Yes i absolutely understand the urge to push it..not to mention the additional turbo boost sound which makes your foot go heavier just to hear psssstttt sound... 408 was introduced roughly 8 months ago only. I've just crossed 12K. Wouldn't be surprised if some of us early birds crossed 20K. Perhaps anyone more than 20k can report in!So what is the highest mileage achieved so far among owners here? Saw in fb one 308vti onwer achieved 200k km from 2009 |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Feb 22 2013, 06:37 PM) Cool ass there bro EnergyAnalyst! As way too many see 408 arse as very plain Jane. So to put things in better perspective, my avatar is to show consider the alternative: how better it would look by sticking the lion badge on a hot mama arse. So now which one would u like? That surely must be a limited edition...  ....hehehe! |

Not to mentioned some might say other car owners allow you to pass on highway because they wanted a clearer look.  Not forgetting too some stoop dude who said myvi can easily reach 160kmh and 408 2.0 NA is not worthy lah ..KNS |

QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Feb 22 2013, 04:08 PM) Today I sent my 408 2.0 NA for the first 10k (mileage : 9,303) service at Puchong SC. I reached at 8.30am and I am the second customer on the list (Total 13 customers for today). They sent me to IOI Mall to lepak there. They completed the job at 1.30pm. I am not sure whether the other service centers also take that long hours to service a car. Goodstuff! So any complaints thus far Pugbunny? Btw looks like charges varies on diff SC. I paid 307.50 without rm10 other xtras . Mileage now at 15k d ! Anyway, total cost was RM340.30 and here are the breakdown:- 1)Service consumable - RM10.00 2) Syntium 3000 5W/30 4 litres - RM221.00 3) Syntium 3000 5W/30 1 litre - RM59.50 4) Oil filter - RM43.90 5) Seal - RM5.90 Free labour for 10K - RM90.00 The service consumable was for battery water top-up.... and car wash kot. I complained to the staff that there is a loose part, suspected a nut, inside the left front door. There is something rolling when goes uphill or downhill. I have forgotten to ask them just now... Haha... But it seems the problem is solved. |

QUOTE(lowpro @ Feb 22 2013, 06:28 PM) It is 'probably' under consideration but 'may' be higher that what most would consider paying for... so, tough call on it. Wow u talk like politician http://www.paultan.org/2013/02/14/reports-...-upscale-brand/ Peugeot while waiting for 2016 (with the alliance with GM) to produce and launch replacement for 3008, plus a smaller version of 3008, 208, 2008 and c segments. Owing to the pressure of making more sales, more profit, from now till 2016, there is every reason for them to push out existing saleable and proven models 208 and soon to be launch 2013 models including 2008 albeit now may be up-scaled as 'premium than before' brand as reported above. So expect more gun blazing year for peugeot for 2013, the report say 17 vehicles launches in 2013. 17 !!! Surely 208 and 2008 can find its place here in Msia. I see the peugeot brand up scaling can translate into higher 2nd hand value for our 408s. This post has been edited by EnergyAnalyst: Feb 23 2013, 09:26 AM |

QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Feb 23 2013, 08:38 AM) Wow u talk like politician Just to add, Peugeot is taking very different approach than Renault and its alliance Nissan and VW. So far both Nissan ( will launch low cost stripped down cars based on newly alliance bought Russian Lada under Datsun brand by 2014 while Renault been doing it using Dacia brand. ) VW is mulling over creating sub brand by 2015http://www.paultan.org/2013/02/14/reports-...-upscale-brand/ Peugeot while waiting for 2016 (with the alliance with GM) to produce and launch replacement for 3008, plus a smaller version of 3008, 208, 2008 and c segments.
