Thankyou! As for the problem identified was again due to battery failure and not performing well. Got new one changed by sc without cost. Picking up the car tomorrow as i let the sc do wheel alignment as well. Thought delkor battery would last but not really. Sc said maybe the one i got was a defect one do they had put a new one for me, but still delkor brand. So this is my third battery now...

yes, the SC had made full diagnosis and no sign of any electric problem other than battery not providing enough voltage, Once they changed the battery everything returned normal. Yea i think it is good to monitor your battery constanly.

Hi All 408 Owners And Sifu,

Im in abit of a dillema here. Im deciding to buy a new car and 408T is in my list. I hope to get some honest and unbiased feedback from you all. Unbiased coz all are owners here =P  Hahahahahah

I have test drove it before and i have no problems with the interior. VERY spacious and comfortable. The seats are really comfy for both drivers and passengers. The French are good at making awesome seats. Built quality i think can be better but i can accept the way it is.

Performance, im not too sure. When i was reading through the threads, it seems everyone is very impress by the 408T's power. But i dont get how everyone here feels though. On paper it is 163hp/240nm. But i dont feel it though. Is there something wrong with the car i tested? Or my butt dyno got problem? LOL. I feel is not really quick off the line and gear changes is abit sluggish. No problems on the stability and handling though.

I would really like to hear from owners here in regards to the performance.

By the way, im opting for a White Griffe. Looks so much better.

Thank you very much guys.

Hi SKYjack,

Thanks for your reply. I tested the Focus as well, and felt that the Focus is quicker than the 408T. The Focus only has 7hp more but the 408T has 40nm more. Of course the Focus has a better GB and im not referring to the GB's quickness and smoothness. Just  the way the Focus goes up to speed seems faster. I find it weird. And this is the reason im in a dillema. The 408T should be quicker with 240nm on tap. But i dont feel that way.

I would like to know what others have to say about the 408T's performance though.

Thank you very much.

Lolx, all the while I thought u are dilemma in Focus and 408T.

ive met a few pug drivers...5008, 407, 308t, vti etc.......whilst the car is good, naza has absolutely no idea how to mentain these cars.

imagine to change engine oil u have to leave it overnight. hence why you see the value of 308t's falling like a ginormous snowball

i'm not surprised when people come in and mention friends, aunties, uncles, nephews giving advices for something which they don't own 

Relax bro. Dont get so worked up. Hahahahaha. Dont so "kek dung". LOL.

Oh and one more thing i remember about the 408T. The gear change. Its smooth. I like it. But how responsive is the gearbox? Does it drop gear itself when we brake and go into a corner? Like u tekan the car, then near to the corner u brake, does the car drops gear itself? Or is it like my vios, it doesnt drop gear until u exit the corner and step on the accelerator?
Thank you very much.

If this car can modify to 200hp/300nm.....Sure damn terror.....

When??? On what car??? Sweeeet....
But back to my dillema....408T Griffe vs 208GTi....How ler?!?!?!?

I saw somewhere before that this is normal, there is a (inter/ mid gear?!) In between gear 2 and 3.
skyjack

Hahahaha. Uncle also can drive fun and powerful car mah. BUY BUY BUY!!!!~~LOL....Im actually very surprised that the 208GTi's clutch is not that hard and difficult to modulate. Still deciding la....my brain say 408T my heart say 208GTi....

I read through the explanation on my gearbox question and i think something is missing......Let me put it in more detail.....Lets say u driving it or tekan it, then the car goes all the way to 160km/h@6th gear, then got corner, you break before entering corner, during that breaking before entering corner, does the car drops automatically gear for you???

Thank you very much.

Noob question:

My Check/ODO button displays "7000km" next to a spanner icon. Is this the mileage at which I should send my car for servicing? I am at 6960km already The SA told me that the car was just sent for 6th month servicing in Nov 2013.

Hope you can share your knowledge here with us,I believe many will want to know...

Guys’ just wanna check with you all, when moved to 3rd gear, will it like it will drop another 200 rpm before picking up again? Let’s say 2300 change to 3rd gear, drop 500rpm then when going up the rpm, it will drop another 200 rpm..

The screen only appeared because I pressed the Check/ODO button. Didn't pop up as a warning.

I notice today that instead of 7000km, the same screen says 6800km now. I guess it is actually counting down the number of KM until next service? Can anyone please confirm?
Service booklet was empty when I collected my car but I asked the service centre staff to fill it up based on their electronic records...

Yes, that's why I made them fill in the booklet when I collected the car 

Hi mtbk,

When I first get the 408T, I found that the handling is damn good and grip the corner like a lizard, now almost after a year, I start to feel & found out the weak point of the Lion, - pull to the left, harsh ride ( but good in cornering ) can only choose one !!
Some noise here and there as the car is quiet, any rattling sound will be easily notify, wind noise from the window when speed above 110km/h, tyre noise ( tyre already 30 % gone at 16K km, aircon not cool enough in the hot sunny day, audio sound no good, no reverse camera, no GPS.

I still like the car very much, it is about passion. I think this car is a winner amount the 1600cc conti car, it worth every penny I spend on this car, the luxury, the safety, the power, the handling, you see, all cars take you from point A to B..............but , in a difference shape.

I don't agree that the far east car is low in maintenance cost, how about the Rm 2500 cooling coil of the Camry, the RM 3500 alternator, and the nearly RM 4 K steering rack, and RM 1500 front disc, a RM 1500 /pc absorber including installation at Toyota center.Once will have a jaw drop by seeing this and yes, it is my personal experience, so what is the best car to own, the answer will be own a fully maintenance covers company car.

From the above, the 2.0 Camry maintenance cost is not cheap at all, or very near to the luxury conti indeed., and I should mention the forever problems HONDA suspension , you think you can drive a Honda like the 408T  ???
no way, first year may be, after that.... god bless.

Buy the Lion if you have the passion on it, if you are the type that don't know how to open the front bonnet type, stay away form the Lion.

nah, you just bluff your ownself

408 and camry is diff category

if u want to compare, you have to compare w same catergory

anyway , just your pure opinion

you have problems w your car but u dun admit it
