Dear all

For those who are looking for cars (price range 100k to 150k) …i think it’s about time we really look at the safety features than always concern about resale value. I believe all the asian car makers don’t give a damn about our lives. They think giving u 2 airbags is a BIG VALUE. The continental cars really have SAFETY in mind..they care about LIFE. They always have a least 6 to 7 airbags + other safety feature to it.

It’s a damn suckers to drive a Japs Car….

My 308GT has started to a leak / drip from the headlining, next to the sun visor mounts. Whilst Scotland is currently suffering well below freezing, I would not have expected water to enter via a fixed roof… the only point I guess water could be entering is around the top of windscreen / front of panoramic roof seals.

Its booked into the dealer next week and I’ll update once I have had it looked at.

Fixed roofs not leaking, never say never!

Drove it quite a number of times and observed this car closely over many months. Its a great value for money car to own with an engine to die for. From an ECU remapping point of view, it is a very good car to tweak for more horses from this engine compared to its rival cars such as the Civic, etc.

Great combination of suspension comfort and sporty handling.

As what ZHMY said, i might also replace my used but refined e46 for this car inview of the savings I could get owning this pug.

Test drove the 308THP last week and it gave me goosebumps all the way because of the massive 240Nm torque and solid handling, not forgettig other features. Decided to drop my 3 years old Ford Focus S2.0 MKII for this one. Call the sales man now…

Saw the 308 Turbo at Subang Parade yesterday. Test drove the car today at Nasim. Decided to dump my two year old BMW 320i (monthly payment RM3k man!!!!) and bought this VALUE FOR MONEY pug today (guess what 90% loan and monthly only RM1,150). Who cares about resale value when you can get a fantastic car at this value and a saving of almost RM1,850k. Maybe can use this for spare parts and etc etc etc.

Just go and test drive the car, then you will know. As of today Nera Black (Only 5 untis left) and Babylon Red (36 units left).

This car is a true car worth every cents of your $. It has 6 airbags for God sake! turbo power, tiptronic gear, panoramic glass, ebd, abs bla bla bla, passenger aircond, JBL speakers (this is one of the best speaker in Hi-Fi world), 17 inch rims, cruise control, 3 years /100,000 km warranty and the best of all RM90 for a yearly road tax!!!

Watch this space- 308 Turbo gonna define a new and beginning chapter for a new resale value and mindset of Malaysian towards this car. I bet after 4 years of driving, the car will still maintain at least 75% of its value i.e RM113,888 less 25% = RM85,4++ (best case scenario) and the worst case scenario at RM80,000. Assuming this is after 4 years with full service history.

Go on and get this car, after all who wants a second hand car with all the farts boom after all this years..hehe

B4 booking, request from Salesman- Pug Shirt, Key Chain, Full Petrol, Tinted Voucher bla bla bla.. I just cannot tahan liao and bank in rm1k to kg baru Pug salesman.

Go on and take it..Word of Advice..308 TURBO IS BETTER THAN MITSU LANCER 2.0, MAZDA 3, ANY CIVIC AND VIOS MODELS, EVEN ALTIS IS NO WHERE NEAR..DO NOT SPEAK ON NISSAN SLYPHY COZ U ARE FAR AWAY..HONDA CIVIC NOT GOOD AT ALL..all this Japs car are *? hehe

After a month of considering, i finally ended up booking the Pug 308 Turbo against the Civic 1.8. Price for price, the Pug has more features and panoromic roof is just simply awesome.

To those interested in peugeot 308 but worry about fuel consumption then go 4 non-turbo model, it is understandable that the emblem 'tubbo' will cost a bit more in fuel consumption. Some of us here could not even understand about differentiation between sunroof vs panoramic roof, DO NOT COMMENT IF U DO NOT KNOW THE FACT!!

Wah! after reading all the comments here I think the 308 turbo will be a good buy. Of course some are more kiasu. Want to buy a car with good resale value. You not second and dealer lah! People buy car to drive for a few years, then only sell when want to upgrade. You think everyone change car every year meh???

Scare spare parts expensive then buy motorbike or better bicycle then maintenance damn cheap loh. Or take public transport no need to incur maintenance cost or pump petrol.

I think I will go test drive and buy one for my wife. When the 308 was first launched, went to see liao. Now with glass roof lagi best. Glass roof ada class lah, pay RM2888 is nothing. For a conti car, cannot comment on the price tag already.

Bro, not to worry about the CKD status, i was told by some of the people inside that the car is actually 95% cbu, unlike other competitor where everything delivered to local factory by cargo boxes, 308 was delivered to this country completely built up, without the tyre.This could be true, since one of the clause for CBU is the vehicle is under undriven condition!

People who say the Japanese spare parts are cheaper are thinking about the cap ayam brands only, like MITSUBOSHI and TOYODA.

If comparing genuine to genuine parts, Peugeot prices are similar or even cheaper in some cases.

Go test drive the car. Compare the handling of 308 with T or H. 308 THP is pretty impressive. It's a fun car to drive. As pointed out by others, it's a drivers car.

For the SG review, it's comparing with VW Golf GTI. Here in M'sia, a new Golf is around 75% more than 308THP where else in SG it's almost the same price. If given the almost same pricing, I'll go for Golf GTI.

Another very important point is the 308 safety feature. 6 airbags, NCAP 5 star, etc. It's not important if everything goes well. But touch wood, if there's a major accident, it will sure be very important.

the reason some conti car owners has hefty service bill is that they "inherit" a poorly maintained car from the previous owner. Most of my friends who owned conti cars bought their car second hand. The initial cost of repairing their ride sometimes might be expensive, but after the car is in good shape, the cost of maintaining one is rather cheap. BTW, most of my friends owns a Peugeot and Citroen… Me only drive the "Malaysian made conti car" – Proton Waja hehehehe

deadpixels,

to add what you mentioned earlier, even the 206 already had the panoramic roof many years ago. nothing new to europeans. even the south american and aussie and nz versions of the 206 already had the roof long ago.

rayzel, go for 308 thp else you will regret with your 2.0 civic when u meet 308 @ traffic light! hehehe cheers! Both car has bout same sound proof, i think but THP is much more stiff and stable when you hit highway @ top speed. (drop my cousin civic 2.0 before for 1 week, in town and long distance…)

Dear all,

Don't talk abt Japanese make's second hand value higher & part price is cheap !

here are few example y Japanese make low in resale value; not as what u think higher value if compared to Continental make . The following cases happen to my fren and customer !

1) 1.5 years old Civic 2.0, My fren bought it only 95K ! with millage only 18K KM !

2) 4 years old Nissan X trail. My fren sold for only 60K. if he don't sell it, the upcoming repair bill is hefty money to pay !

3) less than 2 years old city, my customer sold with 30K less if compare new car price !

Talk abt spare parts price :

My experience with Pug 407 for 3 years of ownership and over 60k KM of driving pleasure…

1.) front brake pad, genuine part from France : RM4XX with labor, pls check on Accord & Camry price b4 u said it's cheap. one of my customer changed his Accord 2.4 Genuine Front brake pad for nearly 700 !

2.) rear brake pad, genuine part from France : RM3XX with labor

3.) Oil filter : Rm3x -4x

4.) ABS/ESP sensor cable : RM2xx

5.) best thing is : i had never paid up to RM600 per service for the parts & labor, etc. Best thing is Pug only need to service every 10K

6.) cheapest service interval : RM199.80, with 5 litre Semi Sync oil, oil filter & labor !

7.) above all hv been done in Authorised Service Centre each time with diagnotics Software checked as well, not by Ah beng workshop under the tree

A lot of ppl can say nonsense with baseless fact, but my advise is just drive it then only u will know. It happen since i bought my Pug 405 last times, many ppl said negative abt it. Guess what ? The maintenace of 405 is much lower than a similar age Accord !

Don't be fool around by ppl around you. check with the service centre on the Genuine part price and start to compare with your same class level car Geuine part price, u will be amazed by the data.

Hello all,

Sudah test drive this 308 turbo…

Got the wow factor la..

-very responsive the engine.. like the "hiss.. hiss" sound ..

-body roll very little as compared to my 5 years WAJA

-the brakes work really good

-but didnt check the sound proofing. busy chatting with the salesman

-audio not bad..

-but not leather seat

-not that spacious for rear seat

-small cabin space.. but who cares.. not that you need it everyday..

-handles quite well on bumpy roads..

the salesman in Bangsar was very friendly… knowledgeable about Peugeot..

Must say its a good compact car with that powerful engine inside..

Seriously i'm considering this car with Civic 2.0.. sigh.. susah mau buat decision like this…

I have just 'restudied' the Prince engine's capability. It certainly fits as one of the greatest modern engine and for the price of such little wonder, it's a bargain. The only downside is it's a CKD..

If u have no passion and have no balls when coming to resale value, leave the car alone. I will take this car as my next replacement.
