After searching thru the web and this thread, found that most dealers offer rm8-9k discount, but a couple can offer rm12-15k off. Wonder why the differences? Pre-owned, 2012-made, showroom unit or problem unit? For me still haven't got thru the lack of confidence in Pug SC and after-sales support(as what sctang408t has gone thru) eventhough I like the car's interior and handling (to me better than d-seg cars like teana, sonata and accord)

From the look of it owning a lion gives a sweet and sour taste on the tongue. Sweet because it is an awesome machine, sour because of NAZA's infamous service. Last week just went to see the 508TS and I was very attracted to its refined interior and body but after seeing so many dejected pug owners I think I have to look for other brands. Was also interested in KIA Sportage, another product carries by NAZA, really headache lah.

Testdriven the 408Turbo & 508Turbo today. Good cars except the 408 has a funny plasticine smell. According to SA the odour came from the China-made leather esp under the hot sun. SA also advice me to consider the 508 which has less problems and more refine becos it is CBU. Currently 408 has a rm12k rebate and 508 rm9k.
Anyone here has the same problem of the leather odour?

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Sep 30 2013, 08:47 AM) Hahaa... yes 508 is more refined in term of the built quality. But talking abt the engine pergormance. 408T is better. No offense to 508 owner. Generally, 508 has more problems than 408. The engine on 408T been retuned and slightly modded to rectify the de pollution issue. The leather seat does have smell. But it goes off after 2 months of ownership. I personally loves the leather smell, it makes the car smell NEW! Hahaa.. However, I will suggest u to take 508 to enjoy the executive feel if your budget allows so. With the quantum of discount I think the 408T is more value for money, only thing is my Mrs and I can't stand the plasticine-like leather smell. I also think the test-drive 408T unit has been around for months already at 8000km and still with the odour unlike the 508. SA even suggest that I change the leather seat, LOL. The current offer of rm9k rebate for 508 is not as good as the 0.88% interest+Vkool promo. So the 508 is no longer CBU, as lowpro mentioned? This post has been edited by MGM: Sep 30 2013, 01:55 PM |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Oct 12 2013, 09:41 AM) Ford Focus also appears to have battery mati problem. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2664752/+1680Pug battery problem seems to come from a particular brand(only need to replace) whereas Focus problem is more of the electrical system (harder to solve?)

QUOTE(OrangBiasa @ Oct 19 2013, 12:15 AM) Couple of months before my temperature sensor kaput, the aircond blows hot air occasionally and more frequent few weeks before the sensor totally dead. It happened even during normal speed. When the temp sensor totally rosak, the aircond only blows hot air and the radiator fan running macam nak terbang.. This problem happens to 408 Turbo only but not NA2.0? |

QUOTE(rotibengalis @ Oct 24 2013, 12:11 PM) True, premature battery death for Pug (408) is happening to everyone, only the time matter, but confirm it will happen. So far, three 408s in my Taman kong btw 21000-25000km. Useless Pug center refuse to change under warranty since its over 20K. Is there a way to make the battery 'dead' just before the warranty? |
