anyone with a good sales person to intro?
Been to the PJ and Klang branch, understood no discount for the 2.0version, but the sales person is so stingy ... no free gifts.
AM going to the Puchong branch tmrw.

Please PM the contact if you have any.

TQ in advance

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.

You are most welcome bro. The power is addictive. There are more powerful cars,but nothing to match at this price. The handling is at another level,simply superb! Push her on twisty roads,just sticks like a leach. Handling is better than more expensive Contis like Beamer and VW - E90,E60,Passat & Jetta.

As for air-con,all our bros have said it's cold after a good tint.

no chance to test drive on twisty corners...but is both the 2.0 and Turbo handling almost the same?

i've tested in my turbo, twisty road from Tampin to Kuala Pilah, only one word to describe, FANTASTIC!!!  laugh.gif

Any 2.0 owners care to share their experiences with the 2.0 handling?

During my short test drive, the 2.0 has a softer and comfortable ride and steering is very light.
On the Turbo, obviously the power is there, ride a bit tough (not much to my liking), but i like the somehow "fatter' steering. Nice to hold and grip on it.

Hi there, I own a 2.0 but there is not a day go by that I don't wonder how different it is going to be if i am driving a 1.6 turbo instead, honestly speaking.

But don't take this as 2.0 is a let down. It may not have the kind of rev of a turbo and responsiveness of a 6 speeder gb, but it is is very comfortable. so comfortable that and you tends not to feel the 'sportiness' of the car. Hell the handling makes me feel more uncle-like if truth to be told, but I don't mind coz I am an uncle by age, i am in my early 40.

It is a good alternative to any D segment 2.0 I will say that as much, I have been into Camry, accord, Teana, and the 2.0 drives a bit like that just the shorter nose allows you to make corners with lesser strains . Even if you want to leave segment Ds and just compare with other segment Cs, from NA to NA (2.0), 408 2.0 gives you the most comfortable ,and tuned to the most powerful setup , the performance is only dampened somewhat by the 4 speeder gb but that is ok 2 as most rivaling models offer a 4 or 5 speeder or CVT.

At the end of the day, it is really up to the individual , are you the type that stay forever young (in hearts and in spirit coz don't judge a book by any covers) , if so get a 1.6 Turbo.

or if you are like me, comfortable with real age, accepted the maturity that comes with age, and would like to take what people call 'calculated' risk. then get 2.0?absolutely !
