hi all! i am going to book the 408T today and been reading on it in this forum and it seems like its a good decision!

is there anything in particular that i need to know before confirming my decision thanks guys!

guys i need some urgent help... im gona book my 408 this weekend and i cant seem to choose between the Aster Grey and Borassque Blue... anyone got pics for me to see and compare?

Tried googling but its very vague....

Hey vknight, after much thought im gonna go for the 1.6 cause the monthly only differs RM100. The offer im getting is RM10500 discount from the RM118,xxx price so its only about 108k for the 1.6 which i feel is damm worth it....


icic... we can actually request dont want two tone is it?? i was thinking about the grey too... but i saw pictures online and two pictures look totally different....

u know vknight lucky u pointed it out to me... just spoke to my SA and he was under the impression that i want to go for the Griffe specs which has a RM10500 discount....

As for the S model, its the same as you mentioned.... lucky u pointed it out....

hahaha yea no leather seat... so the difference between the Griffe and this is only the leather seat, touch screen, bodykit and rims right? this S spec still has all the other features same right?

thanks vknight! appreciate the comparison

icic... yea thats why i keep googling and the colours dont seem to do justice... k k will check out Desa pandan!!

true... but for me the installment is a concern.... dont want to end up paying too much monthly... the reason i want to upgrade is the safety features, which are amazing in the car and more so in the 1.6 (esp with 6 airbags)... the turbo is just a plus

yea, its like everyday i find out something new

about booking together, possible la bro... im actually going to see the SA tomorrow after lunch to discuss the deal, if you interested we can go together la its the puchong showroom...

thanks vknight just out of curiosity, anything particularly interesting to note with the cruze?

come i also poison sikit la

imagine this... u slowly driving on the road... really safe and all but suddenly! there's a stalled car in front of you around the corner!!! behind you got car coming aso.... with the 2.0 u dont have enough acceleration power to avoid the car without knocking into the back car on the right.... but wait a minute you bought the 1.6 turbo! u quickly accelerate out of harms way and avoid all danger!

So yea, turbo not just for daily driving fun but can be for your own safety

hehehe just a small opinion nee bro

no la wasnt talking about lunch today, i actually meant tomorrow lunch time

yeap sure definitely will

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!

hehehe awesome! will update here once i get my ride

vknight i had the exact same dilemma as you! but in the end i decided to take the TS and below is why :

1. 6 airbags vs 4 airbags (this was a major point for me)
2. Better performance
3. Better handling
4. Cheaper road tax
5. Leather wrapped steering (kinda makes a diff for me as this is the part of the car u got the most interaction with)
6. When i saw a list of service costs, it seemed that the 1.6 was cheaper (can someone verify this?)
7. Someone also mentioned 1.6 is a bit more fuel efficient


So between the 408T and 408TS i believe the main difference is only leather seat and bodykit, which im willing to sacrifice for a 10k reduction in price (which has another 8k discount on top of that) so in the end u only pay RM110,240.00 for the 1.6T almost same price as the 2.0 (before discount)

guys any recommendations in terms of tinting company and promos?

I see so many tinting offers on Groupon... is it worth it? below is an example of the 'specs' (price for 6mm = RM189):

The shop name is Cool Master in USJ Taipan... they din mention anything about the brand of the tint...

wow... labour itself so much edi.... at least not as bad as toyota, just change brake pad last time they charge me RM300 for labour alone...

i had the same grievances as you bro... in the end i went with the Turbo S cause its only about 12k diff (after all the discounts on both models)...

the reason i swayed to the 1.6 is because of the better specs (6 speed gearbox better engine more airbags and so on) not to mention also cheaper road tax and all... i would definitely recommend that you go for the 1.6TS cause though it doesnt have the bodykit n leather seats, its 10K cheaper than the 1.6TE... so a small compromise for big value

hahaha thank you bro... this is one of those times that its gonna be really hard to follow good advice

Good morning guys i just picked up my Blue 408T last friday morning... well what can i say, definitely one of the best decisions i have made

So Vengga85 reporting in with a Blue 408T!

Also just to share my experience.... i remember someone asking in the forum that whenever they brake their steering vibrates a lot... I had the same issue with my car... the feedback from braking was really bad and also my dad keep asking my the suspension so bumpy and noisy...

at first i thought it was the harder suspensions on the turbo and the disc got issue... and then based on my dads advice i checked the tyre pressure... this is where i got a shock the pressure on my tire was 375 it redi says the max on the tire is 350...

After pumping in the proper pressure now the care handles, comforts and brakes very well

so yea just an fyi
