I couldn't see why we have to relate race to the ability of buying specific car. So.. I'm 31, Engineer, Malaysian.

Is it the door or the door trim not aligned?mind sharing with us which screw they've replaced?

Anyhow, I could say that i'm satisfied with their careline service but the same could not be said about their SC. But with their growing SC I hope they can cope with their growing customer or else..tutup kedai

Seriously? Highway+city drive? My NA will only get that figure on 100% - 90% highway only.

Care to elaborate more on what you mean by 'motor auto shutdown'?

I couldn't say the same for Elantra. From my observation, it seems equally the same between Elantra and 408. But I agree, the new Ford Focus is worse.

However, I went to Singapore last week and couldn't see any single 408 on the road. And I spent most of my time walking which means better exposure to observe cars on the road, but none are to be seen

Before I apply sierraglow, I've done a little research about the pros and cons of applying coating and is it worth it to do so as I was given vouchers amounting to RM200 for G'zox coating which they've quoted me RM2400 (before deducting the voucher value) to coat the paintwork on my 408. I've heard about sierraglow previously but didn't quite aware of its performance or cost and after knowing it's cost, I'm quite sceptical as it's relativelly cheap from G'Zox. But this one point of justification has been a deciding factor for me to choose sierraglow; why not spend on quality paint job after 5 years which with the amount of spending on G'zox coating (RM2400), I could get top notch paint job quality. The rest as they say, is history...

Do you call Peugeot careline when you encounter the problem? Is it Peugeot who arranged for the towing service? You need to pay anything for the towing service, and changing the thermostat is claimable under warranty? If it's indeed Peugeot who arranged for all of these, how do you rate their respond?

p/s : Now I sounds like NASIM employee doing a satisfaction survey

Wow, I did not expect this
Thank you by the way. Anyway, I believe I'm the first 408 to ever enter your shop as claimed by one of your staff.
Will contact you soon. Again, thanks Mr Chong

Not tempted by the bodykit as much as this rear light

Patrick, i'm not power addict and like you, I only drive 110-130 at highway. I could safely say that overtaking with 2 person inside isn't an issue, even when going uphill (not steep). However, the engine will have to put in extra effort with 4-5 person inside or extra luggage in its massive boot.

However, the safety features and the electro-hydraulic steering on the turbo are 2 of the features which I wish was included as part of the NA package.

Being said that, after close to one year of ownership, I never regretted choosing NA over turbo :-D

Whooaa..I thought you've tested both car. Please do test drive all cars that you're considering before you make your decision. Like you said, you plan to drive it for as long as 7 years, so you really need to be satisfied with it.

Not a major issue or defect but has anyone of you notice the center display unit showing 'Economy Mode Active'? It happened on my ride last weekend; when I turned the key to 'standby' before actualy starting the engine, it shows the 'eco mode' thing. Normally, it only display 'Automatic Door Locking Activated', but rather than displaying this, it display the 'eco mode' only. It only happened for 2 days and in that 2 days, my car was parked in car porch, not moving anywhere. After I brought the car for driving, only then the 'eco mode' isn't present anymore and the 'auto door locking' display is back on display.

Any explanation? Has it detect my previous driving style and decided to adapt eco mode but when I drove aggressively, it has switch back to aggressive mode? The only new things I've done prior to that happening is washing the car by myself and pumping BHP instead of Caltex.

Thank you guys for your explanation. Sorry for being ignorant about it in the first place as it's has already been stated in the manual. Used to own 2nd hand vehicles with no manual and the most complicated things that can happen is setting the preset on the radio for the first time

And what dissapoints me is people who're spreading this negative comments are mostly non-owners who might have heard complaints from primary and mostly secondary sources which are taken as true without doing further research or follow up. When these issues are spread to those who accept it as true without doing any research, things will get worse. I'm not saying that what has being said is entierly not true but like what has been point out earlier with regards to the problem with DSG, most of the public did not know about it compared to problems faced by Pug cars.

So yeah, in some sense, I agree that the way these problems are addressed will have a major impact on public perception though I also disagree that these problems get swept under the rug to hide it form the public. The problem is, most of the public can suddenly be an expert on cars when talking about these problems but when asked to elaborate more, they seems to have no idea at all!

IMHO, word-of-mouth spread faster. At least those net users who stumble upon the negative feedback are actually doing some research and might come upon positive ones that will ultimately impact their decision, whereas if those who've heard through others verbally, will somewhat have the negative perception imprinted in their brain which will affect their decision making in the future unless that person does not easily believe what others are saying without confirming it through reliable source.

And most of my circle of friends did not actually do any research or worse, did not even test drive the car before they bought them!

"Truth is lies told thousand times".

"The launch will coincide with the unveiling of Naza Euro Motors' maiden 3S (sales, service and spare parts) outlet, Citroen Glenmarie."

Hereby I unveil it to you before Naza Euro Motors would



I manage to get 7.2 l/100km on 100% highway cruising at 120km/h when going to JB last week.

When returning to KL, mostly drive at 130km/h and sometimes when wanted to 'tunjuk terrer' to those who're driving at 100km/h on the right lane, I pushed until 160-170 for a short distance. Resulting to that, FC rose until 7.7l/100km.

I've already set an appointment on a date a month from now for 20k service at Glenmarie.

Will try to get their GPS coordinates soon. FYI, I believed they've launched their 3S just now. However, the 3S center is smaller when compared to Pug. But then again, it is meant to cater for DS series only so I believe it's sufficient.


No wonder some of my MP3s is not listed. Can we upgrade the radio firmware or something??

Dont know if what I've experience is the same as yours but previously, there's faint knocking when I turn on the A/C in the morning. Lately I did not notice it anymore, maybe because I'm used to it or maybe it's gone. Anyway, has already complain it at SC and they said that it's normal.

Agreed, newer batch got better freebies. I only got full tank, tint voucher, coating voucher and 'crystal' plate no, no cash discount.

18?? That's loud man. Most of the time I keep the volume at 3-4 and it's sufficient enough.

Anyway, for those who found the audio system lack mid range freq., try this method :
1. Switch the 'music profile' to Jazz-Blues or Classical (depends on your ears)
2. Adjust the bass & treble to suit your listening pleasure

Anyway, I find the audio system decent enough to be listen to while driving. With all the external noise, it's not possible to listen to every detail anyway.

Incorrect. It will still be functional even when selecting other type of musical ambient. Or at least mine works.

I frequently connects and disconnects my USB to my 408. Will disconnect it every working day as I'll be using the USB for work but will leave it overnight and during the weekend. And sometimes does not even disconnect my phone charger when shutting down the engine. Hope nothing goes wrong as yet but will definitely ask them to replace with DELKOR during my 20k service.

Noob question. Jump start will not void the warranty? Will it destroy other electronics?

For your info, I've experienced the same problem previously but it was due to a crack on top of the petrol tank and it took them 3 days to replace it. The replacement only took one day but they have to notify France in order to claim for warranty and only then they can order and replace the faulty parts. Call your SC and ask them to take pictures of the faulty parts. I did not have those pictures and regret not asking them to snap some.

Mind elaborate more on item 2? I notice there's noticeable wind noise on the front left door as well. Could not see any misalignment on the front left door though.

I believe all SC have complimentary car wash when you send in for complain or servicing. But I will specially request them not to wash my car as they have left fine but noticeable scratch which I believe came from the cloth they're using. With the numbers of cars they're cleaning everyday, you can imagine how much dirt the cloth picks up. I've washed my car myself from the beginning and I'm sure the scratch does not come from my own washing.

I'm puzzled
What do you guys mean when you said that the bass and treble is not working if musical ambient is selected other than 'NONE'? Mine is working eventhough the musical ambient is selected on 'Jazz-Blues'.

It's not only cost cutting measure but it will reduce the car's weight which will result in improved fuel consumption.

Not on mine. Bass and treble are still available with any musical ambient
