1. No major issues. I'm one of the early owners. Some minor issues, all issues have been fixed on warranty.  Mine is 4 years old now, engine sounds sweet and gb silky smooth. Very important to note,none of the issues have reoccured. On top of that, Peugeot has come up with sevice enhancement package, this will only further improve this cars already high reliablty!
2. Maintenace cost under $500 , each normal service.
3. Good all round car. Reliable for daily commute, comfortable & sprited drive for long distance!

Let me also give a small advice, my 2cents worth. This is a relatively high performance car. As such wear & tear will be higher than a normally aspritated model. On the long run, maintenance cost will add up. Something you should consider carefully. Anyway,more and more OEM parts are now coming into existance, this helps keep cost to a reasonable level.
If you are not prepared for this, then it is better to go for a Jap model.Long term maintenance will be lower than this car.

However if you want a reliable , efficient, spritted car to enjoy driving,this is the perfect car for you.

Yes the Fiesta being smaller will certainly be easier for ladies to handle, especially parking. Fiesta is a nice car but I would keep away from the powershit models. These may be heavily discounted. Owners claim the powrshift gb is a nightmare, problem even after replacement. I believe Ford has dropped the powershift on it's new models.

Change mind again for a used 2013 408 below 40k Mileage at RM50k.

408 is certainly more reliable then Fiesta. 40k is low mileage and very good price for 2013 model! I guess this is the 408NA.

Warranty is transferable. You should have  warranty booklet where your personal details filled and have it endorsed at Naza. You might have to go to their main branch along Federal hwy. I think it's Jalan 222. If warranty booklet is missing, no problem. Get a new one from Naza.

Congrats bro!

That is very good price for THP model. Since you are close to Belakong, go there to validate your warranty booklet.

Belakong is HQ for service & repairs. Initially with 308, the engine had a lot of problems. That time it was total chaos, thing were just getting started. At that time after reading the Pug forum, I wanted to stay clear of Peugeots. Over the years big improvements have been made. Today this engine and gb are easily the most reliable Conti. 

Situation at Belakong has changed a great deal too, they have improved by big margine. You should use them.

Hi,

I just owned 408t car ..hehe. This is my first turbo car.
I wanna check with any Peugeot 408t owner here, is the engine sound very loud when still running?
I suspect especially when I on air-cond, the sound get louder.

Not sure is this normal.

Peugeot says it's RM200+. Outside, I got a quote of RM 145 for a pair of Bosch replacements.
