QUOTE(LipotKing @ Feb 15 2017, 09:23 AM) I'm currently driving 2013 208. My opinion would be : STAY AWAY. Reason being: 1. SC is not helpful, slow in claiming part 2. Aircond is not cold and break down easily (A big turn off especially the Weather in Malaysia is hot)- Please check 208 facebook group if you do not believe me. 3. servicing price is ridiculous. cheapest from RM700 to RM2k major service. wow..mana hantar service? my std service is only rm460.. fully synthetic summore... every 10k km...

Fiesta 1.6NA normal EO change service
Castrol Magnatec 5w-30 fully syn EO filter drain plug gasket GST + labour
RM289
Not sure about Ecoboost, might be slightly different as it uses different EO specially made for the ecoboost engine. But For new car, you get 3 years.60k km free service.

QUOTE(lowpro @ Feb 15 2017, 08:50 AM) Perhaps TS is not keen on Japanese... yes reliable but boring as hell to drive. Perhaps TS has more taste than thought and he has the financial capability to handle the idiosyncrasies of owning an European brand... He probably knows how it is to drive a car with 'feel'. Something people who buy cars to use as appliances won't understand. But since TS mentioned that he wants 'reliability'...  You are so damn wrong Pug is the most boring car to drive Fiesta is good to drive but still not as fun as jazz or M2. And fiesta back looks horrible although it has an Aston Martin front TS won't go wrong with either jazz or m2 Jazz still has my vote You can consider a used Prius c too year 2014-2015

if reliability and resale value is a major concern, peugeot seems to be the worse choice.
been using 308 turbo and had major breakdown few times in the past. even peugeot's own mechanic cant detect the problem. had to send few other mechanic for repairs.
terrible experience for me

Everyone knows the fun-est hothatch to drive is Myvi. the 1.5l is so powerful inside a lightweight body. Driving around corners is very exciting and satisfying. Don't forget you also get the "toyota-ness" in a Myvi, for the price thats 20k cheaper than a Jazz!!

For realz though, the 508 is a bit dull to drive, yes, but it ought to. It's a large family saloon meant to cruise down the highway at 200 without the passengers noticing, and that it'll do (depending on the engine). The 208 is an entirely different beast, with a steering wheel that seems directly connected to the tyres, unlike many other cars. That the only way to get a smaller steering wheel is to drive a Caterham or something like that helps too. I have driven various Fords, and they don't have a chance against the 208 IMHO (haven't driven the current Fiesta though). Except for the Ka I mentioned before, but I doubt that car even had power steering

Took some time to view and test drive both fiesta and 208. Have decided to go for the latter.
Am now wondering if i should wait for a few months to wait for raya/merdeka promo since peugeot had some major discounts previously.
