Thanks for the info  I'll have the pressure check. Another thing i realise, the steering wheel jutters when stopping car from around 90 to 110kph. i felt the vibration like uneven disc or perhaps that's the way pug's ABS works. I'll upload a video later. To simulate cruise around the speed range, let go of ur hands and brake (not emergency braking), watch the steering wheel shake. i believe some1 did post something similar in the previous topic. any1 else experience the same?

EDITED: Found the brake vibration topic in AndyPeugeot-Posted

Been driving the 408t for a few weeks now. After the initial heavy footing and trying out the turbo, am leaning towards a more conservative auto cruise driving to and for to work.

Just hit 2000km on it and the fuel consumption is down to 9.6l/100km. Average speed 40 kmph.

Otherwise -

Pros - the seat is damn comfortable. Very ergonomic esp for hour long drives and dont feel as tired as I used to. Leather feels good... in a non kinky way.

Pros - the braking has been near perfect. No issues.

Pros- the turbo is just nice. Easy to overtake and easy to leave the annoying waja trying to cucuk you, vey far behind.

Pros - the auto light s work to a tee, as do the windscreen wipers, albeit having to manually turn on the wipers initially.

Pros - the little things like the comfort of the leather steering, the lights positions esp the one below the door and near the pedals.

Pros - actually quite happy with the c75 tinting.  Car doesnt feel hot at all and the seats are not roasting in the sun.

Cons - no paddle shift. Adei...

Cons - the audio system sucks. Hopefully they provide a rm 1-2k upgrade system for it. Its just ridiculous for the amount of price we paid for the car, such a shabby device is given. From bluetooth to ipod connectivity,  it just sucks eggs... bollocks.

Uhm yea... my thoughts so far.

Also keep seeing a pug turbo with plate W** *999 on banting road towards klang daily... anyone here ah?

Haiz~~ I do share your sentiment on the audio part.. It's reaaally sucks.. flat with no bass.. all the preset sound the same.. Even elantra without tweeter is better than 408T..

Elantra is a pretty car and the 1.8L does match 2L power. However the engine is not as refined as the engine on the 408NA. Elantra's engines strain a loud roar upon hard acceleration. Elantra does not match 408NA handling. This is where the Pug is a class above tongue.gif .

For a indirect comparison:
I have a 1.6L Elantra and 1.6 408T sit in my car porch and the noticeable difference is :

Elantra
Pros
Really Light steering wheel and easy to drive around town
Nice sound system (heard that 1.8 HU is not ori and suck big time)
spacious cabin
Very sporty and sexy looking car
Fast cooling air con

Cons
Handling suck big time.. woobling left and right when hit on uneven road.. Even Mazda 3 is better than Elantra
Engine sound suck big time when pedal to metal.. the engine like screaming for help above 4K RPM.. shakehead.gif
Although on paper the power figure is highest in it's class.. but I can really feel it..felt under power on stand still and pickup
I have try to be gentle on the pedal.. max I get is 20cent/KM town driving


408T
Pros
Nice engine note when accelerate
Needless to say.. Powerfull!!
Handling are top notch
more spacious than Elantra
Steering feedback is precise and confident when maneuver at corner.. but prolong drive I feel kinda a fatigue with the constant uneven road feel transfer to the steering

Cons:
Air con not than cool in the afternoon.. even you turn to "LO" shakehead.gif
Sound system suck big time
Higher fuel consumption
Very very addictive..every time I drive alone without CFO beside me.. I tend to pedal to metal.. just to hear the faint sound of "pssshhtt" tongue.gif
Boring back side look
really really loud engine fan noise
Dusty brake pad and with this kind of multi spoke rim.. wash me die!


Overall.. Elantra is like Korea Kpop singer.. heavily disguise in cosmetic sugery.. just for the look.. while 408T is like truffles.. looks is not that appealing but wait till you taste it
