It does seemed to offer more in terms of equipment , ride and handling and looks good for its price ,just not sure about its reliability. I guess there must be a reason why is it’s RV is way lower than its peers.
Based from the feedbacks from gentlemen here , seems like a bad choice

I see , then I guess it’s safe to say you will never get another Peugeot again ?
1.3 k sounds pretty hefty for each service and doesn’t sound right to have parts changed that frequent .
May I know what parts you changed so far from your experience ?

Yes, I will never again buy peugeot. For the parts, they changed

-hydraulic for the car boot (no problem whatsoever suddenly change)
-window panel (works fine, after sending service suddenly problem, then came by 2nd time for them to fix it, they charged me, file complaint n maki them, they said next time problem they waive free panel change)
-dashboard color ( i dunno why need change, they claim new software system)

The others were essential parts like brake pad, timing belt, n etc. So i dont complain much

Well depend on how much u willing to spend on. For me a brand new car suit my purpose, the warranty helps me from any unplanned problem. My brother in law meanwhile buy a 6 or 7 year old E Class Diesel back then with airmatic suspension. Last year he spend about rm14k for the airmatic alone, but worth it as he love keep the car as his 2nd car. If it on me, i will trade in and lazy to pump money on old car with many potential problems.

Related to 508, the 1.6T engine need to make sure if it already cw upgraded parts by Peugeot SC. As they are some design flaws which make the engine not reliable at all, but MOST (100%?) are resolved via upgraded parts.

If i were u, better get a 508 Diesel which are more reliable, less headache on engine parts. Cons, hard to get on market.

I saw one aunty on Citroen FB group. Her car was just finished warranty for a month and then the electronic parts which controls the wiper control k.o.

Sc ask about almost 2k for that alone b4 anything else.

Get a persona.. u will syukur...

Thats the problem with cont cars. They use ur ego against u, if u aint rich u shouldn’t use cont cars. Then the kiaosu guy who’s not rich enough kena ketuk kaw kaw n cant complaint coz ego too big

The cars that smart people avoid buying in Malaysia: AUDI, VW, CITROEN, PEUGEOT, RENAULT, KOREAN CARS.

Be Smart. Dont be stupid.

Kia & hyundai still problematic?

consider a Mercedes w211 e200 kompressor model (2007~2009)

it has a comfort, build quality of a tank, prestige, reasonable maintenance cost (if well taken care) and not to mention, tons of spare parts availability.

Got battery problem one for ‘19 model.
New car bought less than 2 weeks, new battery (changed) cannot start at all. Bring back to service centre check, after 2 days cannot start again. Bring back to service centre for third time only can start.

Yes get the facelift version. Prefacelift cw SBC brake which cost a lot of money once it problem. Engine + gb petty reliable though

Yes i concur worse car to buy.

IF you want to buy a used or reconditioned car. Toyota is the only choice

Yes it is the only choice. I would buy a FJ cruiser even it is discontinued but i held back because i like new tech

I see , however somehow I feel Toyota too mainstream and not very exciting and very good resale value , no doubt it’s well known for its reliability though

After I started this thread , I’m even more convinced on this fact

my brother had that car. regretted it

Thanks I will take a look into . But that will be above 10 years car . Still worth to go for it ? personally imho I feel it’s kinda too “executive” looking for me. Looking for something with a tad of sportiness( not sport car and I dont think I’m considered a Fast driver ) , can bring occasional fun ride and handling for young professionals. Hope you get me

Thinking of it ,Is it why we don’t see them that often anymore nowadays?

It sounded like they don’t really know what they are doing .
Or they trying to boost part sales perhaps to hit target ?
I’ve read some on forum saying their service as improved over the years , but I guess not from the sound of it
