age, occupation, race did raise up in my mind when i first driven the car. i knew that it is targeted at young professionals but whoever has the ability to own this car by himself/herself would easily worked over a few years. so guys, mind to share the above three criterias or at least the last two smile.gif

Let me start with mine: 31, IT related, Chinese.

Hi I think u can actually snap a picture of the schedule at the service counter. When I was last there at the Chan Sow Lin . Behind the service counter, they detailed and displayed model by model the service schedule with what are the job and scope involved at each intervals . I have another 2k km plus before my 1st 10k km service n will snap and load in about a month from now. But since bro JFcheong is at the Johore Service centre may be he can snap the picture first if they display them at the counter like in KL chan sow Lin /Sg besi?

I ady got a copy for both 1.6 and 2.0 service schedule. But no price available as they don't want to compromise on the price due to the floating of engine oil price. Will upload it once I got home.
Btw, I am at JB EuroFrance Peugeot.

i'm assuming the cost of maintenance for 408 is more expensive than some japanese D-seg car

Mr Zweimmk there is a fan (i hope) and not a owner. He drives a passat. So he may not be the most reliable source of reference.

My SA told me that Grey was the most popular color and thus the delivery shall be faster.  So, I had chosen Grey instead of blue. But the pie chart tells something else...
But no regret at all with my grey skin lion, still roars.

O I C, but may be the sample here since just 50 or so owner may not really reflect the actual masses owner's preference. Also availability of stocks also affect somwhat i think. e.g. When I booked my car I wanted bronze but were told no bronze any more than I say how bout grey, that time my SA said grey was very high in demand n i may have to wait longer, then I finally settle for silver but truth be told I think silver is not making the car standing out and kind of subdue its look somewhat compare to other colours. But the plus side is it is easy to maintain and more low profile which is what I want to be, so here I am stuck with silver n happy bout it just the same.

Actually new car need not polish, wax will do. But still depend on your own choice la, my lion 6 months old ady, never polish before. I wax it myself few weeks once.

Agree. Wax is non-corrosive while polish can hurt the paint

Yes that's a bit more expensive compared to some other makes out there. Even a K5 service is about RM 290 only.

RM290 inclusive labour or also FOC labour ? Can confirm?

But i wonder why till today i dont see many 408's on the road. I see much more Forte, Elantra, Civic and Camry. The new Ford Focus is worse. So far i think ive only see about 5 since the launch. But im seeing more and more K5 on the road. But the biggest increase i think is VW. Quite a number of Polo and Golf on the roads now especially after the last promo.

Btw, i drive around KL and Ipoh quite alot covering about 3500km a month.

"In Malaysia, Nasim has positioned the 408 a bit higher than the average C-segment offering while having attractive pricing. Numbers-wise, it might not match the obvious rivals but then again, the Peugeot buyer would not choose the brand because of its sales numbers but because they appreciate the qualities of French cars. At one time, the value for money proposition was weak but these days, Nasim has strengthened it substantially so you can put the 408 on your shopping list – on the upper portion."

QuickView: Peugeot 408", May 31, 2012.

Different people different stroke
Some like popular choice, some just shrug, smile (but not laugh till they choke)
Some like German Engineering, even it makes them broke
Some like Toyota, safe and sound, Resale Value intact they hope
Some like Korean , valued pack /feature fullness now with Peter Shreyer's genius stroke

And then they are this bunch of unique ladies & gentlemen so fine.
Appreciate tasteful things in life, like french perfumes, fashions and wines.
Whom have exquisite taste, unique for some AND not most and that's fine.
and they tolerate ill-mannered guests even they starting to behave like swines
