We finally have an owner's club?! Awesome! *crying tears of happiness*

I'm the owner of a white 3-door AT 208, first batch in April/May. Tinted with Huper Optik

I've had no problems with my car so far, thank God for that. (I may have just jinxed myself...) Just a minor accident where some of my paint chipped off, but I learned to let it go.

I agree with a bunch of posts here that from a layman's view, the 208 is mostly just aesthetics. Lovely DRLs and headlights, premium interior decor, mood lighting, eye-catching central console... It largely depends on how you feel about the car on first meeting. For me I fell for the aggressive headlights, bright DRLs and the heavy doors. Slamming the door on my 3-door is oddly satisfying. The weight is reassuring too, but need to warn my friends to be careful with it, it swings hard.

Talking about the doors on the 3-door, you have to be careful when opening it... Most parking spaces in Malaysia are too small to accomodate the long doors (!!) So if you're not careful, you can accidentally push the door too hard and slam the next car... Happened a few times to me, thanks goodness the paint doesn't chip easily. Only for the 3-door, I don't think 5-doors have this problem.

Hmm what else...oh, I love the 3D surround sound! I listen to a lot of club/dance with heavy bass, and the speakers adapt well. Zedd, Guetta, Afrojack, Calvin Harris all sound great! If you have the 3-door, try putting one of your favourite songs on slightly high volume, then sitting in the middle backseat and let the music play. Feels like the song is in your head, really creepy! Ahem. But anyway, listening to Il Volo or orchaestra tracks (movie soundtracks; I'm looking at you, Star Trek) are a bit of a let down. Even the Classical music setting is a bit lacking. Need to play around with the settings I guess. But mainstream pop and indie tracks play well enough, so I'm very happy

Fastest I've gone is 170 km/hr... More than that I don't dare because the car starts to shake. I'll post up my FC later, but I filled up my tank with Primax 95 from the mark above the red zone for about RM40, then I drive from Shah Alam to Putrajaya Monday morning, then do some city driving in Putrajaya (loads of traffic lights, damnnn), and drive back to Shah Alam on Friday. The RM40 is just enough to last me the whole week, returning me back to the original mark. And I do drive in the fast lane a lot on the highways, so...

Anyway that's my two cents... I can try answering any questions, just ask

The aesthetics, mostly. Personal preference. The 3-door just looks better with the various addons, even though it's less practical if you're planning to have a lot of passengers. But I also like how the 3-door seems to have sturdier, thicker doors than the 5-door. Very reassuring. You have to try it to believe it.

What?! He should tell his SA!! All 208s should come with reverse sensors as standard... It's in the spec list! Gosh, please tell me his SA is in the process of actually doing something about it 

I think your friend bought much earlier right? He should have gotten a nice rebate. The SA told me too..when 208 just launch..they had some parts issue...so they give rebate for cars without reverse sensor.

whoa...really can reach that speed ? feel like flying ? engine dying? hehe.. 4 speed will be quite straining at high speed right ? high rpm.

Wohoo... booked my 208 5 door.. but seems no blue at the moment. so second choice...White...
is there any "must Check" checklist when receiving the car?

Hi all,

My wife just got a 2 door version. How much air do you pump into 208 2 doors?
What is the 270kpa at the bottom right of the picture for?

Thanks.
