My wife and I finally made the decision to get the 408T this morning....Dark Blue.
will be getting the car in a week time, hopefully.    tongue.gif

We actually couldn't decide which to take.  208 3-doors?  Or 408T.  we were even considering the 508S.

But she prefer the 408T eventhough it may not be as fancy and stylish (interior and exterior) as the 208 3-doors.
She chose 408 for the space, comfort, full leather, etc etc...and of course, pick up.

oh yeah....now peugeot is giving free Ipad for 408 and 308.

Any offer for 508? Don't want to wait after the election?

I thought u wanted the Mz6?

Ya, unfortunately or fortunately i tested pug 508 and i found that it's much better in overall driving experience, feel of solidness, power, handling, etc. I'm not really a car person, but the differentiation is significant enough to make meet think twice. Some more i think Mazda 6 selling quite well that my previous Mazda SA seems has less interest to feed me more information that i need, giving me soonest notification that i need, keeping the promise he made, therefore i cancelled. Anyway, the new SA that i approved is much better.

Anyway, both within my budget and have it's pros and cons. I still not decided to get which car. I'm not really in rush. tongue.gif

508 standard model is currently having RM6K discount.  About RM149K after discount.

where are you at ?
*
Yes, 6K discount but we need to add 1.5K for Pearl White. i'm still not sure if i have to wait until after election, although i don't believe car price will be reduced anytime soon. Just think that something it's not so right if i buy now. tongue.gif .

Usually people are patriotic,buy one brand and stick to it when upgrade. I know not all,but a large number do. For my dad,it was Volvo,from 121 to 244.
It is very interesting to note,for a person who is not into cars,some of the driving dynamics of the 508 made an important impression to you. Important enough for you to consider this brand. Kudos to Peugeot!

Basically when buying a car we will consider driving pleasure, safety and of course also the interior, exterior and features, service support, maintenance, etc. The decision is not only driving dynamic alone, also more nice and fine interior, acceptable exterior and some accessories as well.

Even for my wife that know nothing about car, after test drive both cars, she straight away say 508 and insist 508, despite I try to tell her the pain we may need to go through due to car breakdown, higher maintenance and poor service from Peugeot.

Anyway, eventually I am the one who have to deal with this and not her. tongue.gif

As long as you prepared to deal with all the problems a continental car may typically face, then it's fine. Even a Japanese Toyota or Honda can break down the first day you get your car. See your heng suay here but the chances of modern cars breaking down is typically very very low.

DSG7 reportedly have a lot of problems especially affecting Mk6 Golf Tsi and Polo Tsi, but my family had the Polo Tsi for the past 2 years and no issues with the car at all.

Anyway, you got time I think. No harm waiting if you can wait, if you can't then see which marque give you the best bang for your buck and go with it.

You are right, if we want to drive conti, we gain the driving pleasure but in return have to accept some reliability issues. The mindset have to change.

I tested passat as well and it's top on my list in term of driving feel of solidness, power and handling. definitely better rhan 508, but its out of my budget.

There's the "ckd" version of the Passat. But 508 will be the bang for the buck buy, no doubt.

Still out of my budget and I shouldn't drive a car that is same or better than what my boss is driving. tongue.gif

One Utama PEOGUET road show is stunning with all of their vehicle model, 508 indeed is very good looking car, I mean its interior  tongue.gif . With 15+k price tag,definitely it is a good D seg car, if I test drive this unit, I might change my
MInd to purchase mazda6.

208 is a good looking car too! Good job PEOGUET
