The 308 T9 (ie, latest generation available in Malaysia) is pretty reliable compared to the older version T7 generation. If you know a workshop near your place who is familiar with pugs then even better, as ease of maintenance was one of the major factor that made me gave up getting one earlier this year.

My only advice to you is, whether you decide to take 208 Puretech or 308 T9, is to take your time to find a good unit. Especially the 308 T9, there aren't many used unit on the market, and even less that are in decent condition (under 55k will likely be 5 to 6 year old). 2015 units are CBU and they came with 7 years warranty IINM, so you might want to check that as well. Find one that comes with a maintenance record booklet.

For the 308 T9 and 208 puretech, all the normal inspection item applies. Other than that, nothing special.

The 208 puretech will have a bit more vibration due to being 3-cylinder.
