As salaam/dear all

Ezwan here...

Love at first sight...that what i can say when i saw 408 in the show room months ago. Will consider to grab the lion claws before year end provided i can sort out my existing ride. NA version enough for me as this will be a family car. Getting pain to the neck when u have "heart and soul" driven machine, while family car is only 1.5L engine!!...So, it is time to change since the current offer is attractive!! drool.gif

test driven the unit in glenmarie recently. Comments (sorry if some of it will offended members here)

1) Spacious
2) Nice design
3) Comfort
4) Enough horsepower and torque for family driven car
5) etc...

Only one disadvantage discovered when I get the car to the tarmac.

This lion is base on long wheel base chassis and it does not satisfy me when tackling corners.

Hope my dream will come into reality...

Kind Regards
Ezwan

Hi Ryujinx,

Yes of course I will not risk my family when I'm driving for sure.

What i meant was the agility of the car..

Anyway, no problem for me as if the lion key is already in hand, the driver will be my lovely wife...

Hi skyjack...thanks mate...

That is why i am more interested to buy...with kinda price, will step my foot to the showroom next 2 weeks (hope for availability of units)

Oh yea, one more thing...during test drive i also encountered brake shuddering when braking...maybe its a defect to the test drive unit...how's the air-cond performing?

The rest should be fine...

Hello enegy,


errr, yes i am...old unit anyway...

Hi JF,

ok noted mate...need to park under the roof...(car also belum beli lagi)..hahahaha

JF, merc air-cond is better than japs wooo...hehehehe

Energy,

hehehehehe...that is why jeremy clarkson labelled it as a "heart and soul"...I do my regular maintenance at jalan klang lama...very good chinese mechanic over there...

For french make, I would prefer it to be silky smooth, refine adrenaline ....relaxing drivable machine...

Agghhh, tak sabar rasanya ni...hehehe

Thanks JF...

oh by the way, anyone wanna have machine from sime darby auto italia and/or sime darby auto connextion, let me know yea...

Energy,

Old klang road is only my mechanic...me myself is only normal person who drive italian and having direct connection with sime darby via our own club...they offered us special discount for any purchase over there.

BTW, is it worth to add Rm2k+ for leather seat in NA version at SC?...

Thanks!!

Dear All,

Thanks for the adv on leather seat...As what glenmarie sc informed me the seat will be red stitches and not the one on prince engine's unit...(but i think the material still similar except for the stitch)..

Phang,

I think its very easy to tell either the a/c is serving or vice versa. If you can get the coldness although it is not as powerful as oriental car, so it is okay. But if the temperature is bad, and compressors keep running w/o cut off, something not right on the system. It can be compressor, cooling coil as mentioned, leakages on piping, etc..

BTW, thanks pang....

Eh, cakap banyak lak aku ni..sorry ye guys...keta lum beli lagi dah pok pek pok pek..hehehe
