Hi I have just registered for this forum after having followed it for about 3 weeks and reading many of your threads from 2012 till today.
Your passion and enthusiasm is defintely infectious and now I am very keen on purchasing the 408. It will be my continental ( I dont suppose a Ford Laser qualifies haha).
I am not an motor enthusiast and will admit to knowing close to nothing when it comes to cars. Actually most of my knowledge gathered in this forum!!!
Few questions:
- Is the 408T the better option or NA 2.0 if I drive mainly within PJ/KL and only do the occasional road trip once or twice a year?
- There is a year end offer now- 408T L RM101,292 nett ( RM19,000 cash rebate) at Peugeot TTDI. Is this a good deal? Should I get it given it is the year endor should I risk waiting for Jan 15 in hope that there might be a CNY offer?

Hope for your experienced inputs. Thanks in advance,

Thanks bro. You, together with SkyJack and Lowpro were some of the people here whose knowledge and passion, impressed and convinced me. Appreciate your response.
With your input, I am now 95% steered towards 408T.
Hope for a couple more pointers from you bro...
1) In your opinion, is it worthwhile to get with this current year-end promotion? The 408T leather is going for Rm120,292.00 with overtrade & rebate of Rm19,000, taking it down to RM101,292. Or should I wait for next year and hope for CNY offers? I suppose the CNY promo will still be 2014 manufactured..so does it make a diff in resale value next time?
2) The SA in TTDI said there will not be any freebies. But I read in an earlier thread by JeffWong, he had smarttag, full tank, mat and such...I assume those are freebies thrown in by SA and also he mentioned tinting ( this I do not know if it is free) all done by his SA from Glenmarie before he collected the car. Should there be such differences? Should I get the car from Glenmarie as he suggested then? His reasons seems to make sense.
Sorry bro, for my naive and basic questions...am really a goondu when it comes to these things.
Hope for your further inputs.
Thanks once again. Cheers

Thanks guys. You have been most helpful. Will take all your good advice and put to good use.

Have a great day and God Bless. Cheers!

Guys..took the plunge, booked an Aster Grey 408T leather at Glenmarie. Now waiting for loan approval.
Have a question, is it necessary to get tint/security film...or perhaps useful is a better word? The one SA recommended is Ray-Tech which he can offer with a discount. Should I or is there a preferred one that you guys can recommend?
Really looking forward!!!
And thanks for all your advice and inputs guys, without which it woudl not have been easy for me.
And Merry Christmas and a Glorious 2015!!

...will update all once loan approved and car collected.

Thanks djboycalvin! Is your raytech serving its purpose well?

Will ask around first thanks once again! Cheers

Once again thanks lion bros! Appreciate you taking time to advice.
I will consider doing the tint/security film separately.
Take care guys.

Hi Bro Lions!
A Roaring 2015 everyone! May this year be a glorious one for all.
As of last night 8:30pm I am a proud owner of an Aster Grey 408 1.6T.
I am already enjoying it.
I want to specifically say thanks to bros jfcheong, Skyjack, lowpro and vknight, padsya, jeffwong for generously sharing your passion, knowledge and advice, that led me down this road!
So Happy!

Thanks Guys. Have a great weekend!

Can totally understand how you feel bro. Just got mine on New Year's Eve.
The car drives like a song! No regrets whatsoever.
In fact last few days, I keep looking for excuse and convince my wife to go somewhere so I can drive the car haha.

Noted bro. Wasted..a little too late as I did my tinting already, otherwise would have looked you up. Will do that next time for body work.
Cheers

Hi Skyjack,
Curious, is Caltex RON95 not good enough, even with Techron?
Cheers

Gotcha Skyjack.
Thanks. I may do the same then. Treat my new lion to good food from the start!
So far it has been a dream to drive the car. Cheers

Hi Guys
Do most of you drive on sports mode since the car is sports tuned?
And if so, does it increase fuel consumption? Reason I ask is that it somehow does not seem to increase consumption in my case. It maybe that mine is still high - 12.1l/100KM - since I only got my car late December and have clocked <4000KM. I remember reading that in this thread that it will be more fuel efficient after 10000KM.
Hope to hear your views and own experience.
Thanks Guys.

As always thanks Skyjack! I am thoroughly enjoying it, no regrets, as you advised in December.
Take care
