yup. if only they gave the same kind of steering feel to the NA, it will be a nicer drive.

That's why I constantly tell prospective buyers to get the THP. New buyers will not realize how good the THP is and for so little extra. Not saying the NA is bad,in fact I think it is damn good value. But for so little extra, the THP offers hell of a lot more. Further more,over the 2 years since introduction,it's proved it self to be reliable! Better reliability then more expensive contis!

Now the offer is even lower than NA launch price! This is a fantastic opportunity for new buyers to get a truly great car. I'll even say this opportunity may not come by again, once the stock clearance is over.

Enough of my rambling....beginning to sound like an SA...hehehe!

Understood, just pulling your legs guys

Hi Vengga
How did it go? I went Naza TTDI. Tested Cruze and Pug 1.6. Pug 408 was fantastic.

after reading tons of comments from u guys, i surrender.. me n wife plan to buy 408 ts, can any of u guys intro me to SA.. ?

Well done,very good decision! Give Rasyidi a call if you are in PJ 017 6233243. He's a very pleasant and knowledgeable SA. I'm sure he'll even come pick you, if needed.

thank you so much bro!

This guy gave me the best price so far 0104039326 Faizal. Just tell vela gave the number.

This is what I saw after re-fill petrol. 2.0na

thank you!

Wah looks like all Nasim SA are well-trained. Mine at Desa Pandan also very pleasant but yet to be seen how much he will deliver.

Oh the Civic is a lame duck against the 408t. You might want to test drive other cars in the same price bracket,like the Elecntra,Creato, Ford Focus, Altis & Sylphy. Tell us what you think?

The only car I would consider worthy is the F Focus. It hasn't got the power,200nm compared to 240nm on the Pug. However it's gb and handling cannot be denied.

Helo Everyone

I am glad I finally found this forum. I brought a 408 in Sept 2012 and generally happy with it’s performance. One issue I have is with the display that shows the KM that can be driven based on the petrol in the tank. When I fill up full tank the display will show about 430 km when I know that it should be about 550km, after driving for a while it will jump to about 470. It never seems to show the right value
I have complained about 3 times when I take the car for service the last 1 ½ years . They say they have check and reset and it should work fine but it never does

Anyone experience this issues and how was it fixed
Appreciate your advice

Hi paramdav
It's a software problem you have. I doubt a reset will help. Needs a ECU reload. It is a bit of work and I think our monkeys are too lazy! Try Balakong and tell them you have already complained 3 times. Followup your problem with Clic, keep them updated and push them for a answer.

Frankly i don't pay much attention to this. It's not an accurate measurement.

hey vknight, i went last weekend to test the 408T... long story short, din even need to think twice, n booked the 408T

in terms of promo, i got 8k discount, tinted voucher and smart tag all as usual la...


im very excited to get the car la cant wait!

Hi, i just would like to share my personal thought on C segment car. I also facing the same dilemma recently on choosing my C segment car.
I was looking for a family car to fit family members of 5 with 2 kids. My initial thinking was design, comfort and performance rank top in my preferences. Here is the summary on among C segment car shortlisted :
1) Elantra / Cerato - Great design and features packed - Too bad my kids complaint seating position not comfort and also my past experience on Korean car told me durability and resale value are both major factor that deter me.
2) Focus - What drive me to look at this car is the POWER and HANDLING. But after i try to sit on their back seat, the clampness of the backseat is a shame for it to categories as a C segment car.
3) Altis with CVT - Design wise is very sporty, but i just dont like the characteristic of CVT works and poor handling of Altis.
4) Sylphy 1.8 with CVT - Same as Altis, CVT sound very loud on the go when press hard. I just cant adapt to CVT.
5) Pug 408 - Tested both NA and THP, solid with continental car feel, NA power is adequate, THP is sprint like charm. I like it after 1st test. But my wife told me she not feeling well on backseat since it's too slanting, maybe this is just her isolated cases. Too bad it out from my list again.
Since i cant find an ideal car to suit both myself and my family members, and SUV is out from my reach, i got no choice but to test the 9 gen Civic where i have never thinking of it since it appearance might not suit me at my age group. But to my surprise, the seating position, space and comfort was among the best tested thus far. Handling of course cant rival Focus, but doesn't run far away, dashboard was most futuristic where i like it, although a bit plastically feel. Power wise is weaker if compared to 408 T and Focus, but it's adequate for my style, the smoothness and quiteness of both transmission and engine at moderate speed impressed me.
We came to conclusion for the Civic with main concerns on comfort, after sales service, resale value (since i use to change car after 5 years), good FC with sohc, adequate power with great handling and proven 5 speed transmission.
If im still a bachelor guy, sure 408THP or Focus is my on my top priority choice.

that display is to only show approximates. it will recalculate itself based on your driving speeds and habits. display showing 430km upon fill up could be the car still performing its calculations. then when you drive off, it will show a more realistic distance to empty - i.e. 470km. if you drive really slow, like for example 80kph ~ 90kph, you will see the meter change to show maybe 480km or 490km or perhaps even 550km! but if you jack rabbit start after pumping and keep driving angry to maybe about 140kph and beyond, it will calculate and give you some very low figure. so, that calculation depends on your driving.

it will never show the correct value as the driving conditions are dynamic and you can keep at it with the service guys... the result will probably be the same. hope it helps but in any case, do have it checked and have the software re-loaded as per SKYjack's advice. if even after doing that it still happens, then you know that it is how the system functions.

hope this helps.

Ok, ok I am persuaded - will test drive THP until I am sure I still want NA. Thanks for all the fabulous sharing.
