Wanting to buy either Peugeot 408 1.6T or 2nd Hand Volkswagen Jetta 1.4. Both at RM120k

I know both have their bads. From the owners' feedbacks the Peugeot 408T's battery cannot last long and some minor problems that can be fixed under the warranty. For the Jetta, of course the DSG gear box problem.

What are the others bads from both cars. Appreciate from owners' feedbacks. Thanks

Thanks yapmy and bakkutt3h for the feedbacks.

The new Vios is a little too small for me and I will not think abt the RV smile.gif
Will focus more on driving pleasure and repairing, go to workshop or service center quite troublesome

thanks

Thanks guys, appreciate all the feedbacks.

Both cars sure have theirs pros and cons. One thing abt conti cars, everyone knows the driving pleasure is better than japs but maintenance sure cost more.

Thanks guys for all the feedbacks. Appreciate them.

Test drove the Peugeot 408T, have to say quite fun to drive and spacious too. Previously I was driving honda city. Power also quite good.

For a 2012 2nd hand Jetta, with less than 10,000km mileage, the price is ard RM125k.

Still deciding should i get the VW or Pug

Thanks guys.

I have yet to test drove the Jetta. I test drove the Civic 2.0 , but don't like the interior, and found the handling not right for me. I know Civic will have better resale value, that's not important to me.

I know Vios will be more affordable and better in resale value and worth every rinngit. Its too small and too many on the road. Not my cup of teh.

Will check out the BMW 3 series diesel now.

Thanks guys for all the inputs.

Hello guys, THANKS for all the inputs, and they are damn good inputs.
Appreciate all of them.

Personally, I choose Peugeot 408T and 2nd hand VW Jetta, is base on budget and driving pleasure, not class or category.
