Was considering the Civic, Pug 308 and Golf in 2009, when I got to know about LYN, specificaly, Fast & Furious.

Back then, we didn't have much information, no FB owners groups to get first hand information. We could only rely on forums like LYN, Motor Trader, and Autoworld for information. Fast and Furious punya experts macam really yes like that last time. There was even this one guy who "softmodded" his Civic FD2 into a Type-R, he seemed convincing, he even had pictures of his softmodded Civic.

I asked him whether the bangla looking foreman in the picture was the mechanic who handled the softmodding, he told me that was his "abro" (aboriginal) worker, as he was in Perth, Australia. Man, these guys in F&F really know their stuff!

Then I stumbled upon this tered https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1093787

Check out the comments:

The "Aussie" guy was exposed as a fraud, and his tered got moved to Lowyat Kopitiam, and he became something of a meme here.

And I was stuck with a Peugeot 308, with frequent "Depollution System Faulty" messages on the dash.

Moral of the story, Follow what Kevin23 says and buy the CIVIC 2.0!

Go get walnut shell blasted?

My BIL's 308 is in his house museum and will fix it again after spending half of the original price doing own repairs because naza refused to honor warranty

after 14years, will you consider EV

Mr Mercedes how the hell could you not know 308 is the most sensitive manja car in Malaysia!
Dia suka duduk dlm workshop!!!
You could have live up to your nick & buy a Merc but no, you da jadi bodo, bought a pug & got screwed on the black sofa!!!

Depollution error easy to fix. Just send the car to Ken of Bros Auto.

Peogeot is for mechanic. Honda is for Amoi.

look at the bright side. now you have built good lasting relationships with tow truck drivers and workshop bosses. maybe they will give you big ang pows when your kids get married.

guessing in the long term true as everybody says.. civic is the choice to choose

i thought the anti pollution thingy can be fixed by replacing the charcoal canister?
or maybe faulty sensor

Got a FD in my house. Still running smoothly these days at 140k km millage
Pijot 308 what?

Why refuse?

whoever bought a Pug is a sohai. if you dont believe....ask all the sohais who are ex Pug owners.

Ok la can bff with Boy96

Cannot remember well. He bought in 2010, after 3 months, he made his first complaint and was told that the replacement parts needed few months to arrive. Subsequent visits were like every 3 months for warranty till 3 years was up. Some complaints were not fully solved hence multiple visits of similar problems. Last I heard was the steering rack, which cost more than his 3 year old resale value.

now no more 2.0 d

1.5t

Yes, anything i can help with?

I just bought a Peugeot 308 T9 recently. It's quite a good car for the price, hope it is relatively reliable compared to the old T7. I checked with owners in FB groups and most of them encourage to buy 308 T9 or 408 as these are a lot more reliable than the original 308. But I believe it is mostly due to very poor after sales service from Nasim.

308 turbo, what is that? got in the road meh?
civic fd still plenty on the road.
