Our Very First PUG!!!!! Part.2

Click here for PT.1

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Today, I would like to introduce my new third ride, the latest compact MPV PEUGEOT 5008. I bought it brand new from the one and only Brunei Peugeot dealer at T.C.Y Motors new showroom near Qlap roundabout. This would be my second car from T.C.Y Motors(Nissan ER34 was the first). The salesman who handled our paper work is Syful(you guys should look for him if you ever getting a Peugeot, he is great at his service!). The color you are looking at is called "Vapor Grey".

I just took a few quick snap shots of the car but will take proper picture soon once I find the right background. Here are a few sneak peek or you can just go Google it.

Lots of chrome ! LOL


We chose this car over the other models for several main reasons. Firstly is the safety, this car received 5 stars in the EURO NCAP crash test. Secondly is the equipments that is loaded in the car. Thirdly will be the interior space. I will run through all the details sometime soon.

The badge is pronounced as "Five Thousand and Eight"

Our Very First PUG!!!!! Part.1

Oh Yes!!! Today I took delivery of my new Third Ride!!! Yahoo!!! After searching here and there for our ride, we finally made the final call. Yeap ladies and gentlemen, we bought our very first French cuisine, PEUGEOT. Our very first French car from PUG!

It is a great experience and excitement as we never had French car in our family. Will get into our new PEUGEOT when I have the time to take some nice photos.

Which One ? Pt.2

Last Tuesday, me and my wife took some time off in the morning to finally give ourselves a chance to go car hunting. If you can recall from my previous post, we had a few mid sized SUV and CUV on the lists that we would like to check it out.

We went to the Car dealers and guess what ? Non of them fit our requirement. Our problem with all the cars is the space in the boot. As I said earlier in the post, we need a boot where it can fit my baby stroller plus other shopping stuff when we go shopping. We were checking the boot space and trying to fit my baby stroller in the mentioned cars(yes, i brought my baby stroller to the showroom hehe), most of them just or barely fit the stroller and left a little or virtually no space for any other stuff. Haiya , you know in life, sometime you just cannot get what you want.

So now we given up hunting for mid-sized SUV or CUV. Now we are upping the scale to full size MPV, SUV or CUV. Here are the lists that we are currently interested in.

Ford S-Max 2011 (MPV) - BND$35K


Jeep Cherokee (SUV) BND$58K


Peugeot 5008 (MPV) BND$62K


Dodge Journey (CUV) BND$49K


Let see how we will go with the new choices. Will post more news very soon!

Which one ? Pt.1

Now that my Lexus is gone, it is time to find a new replacement. This time the ride has to do its job. Firstly and most importantly criteria is to ferry all my family member in comfort. It has to seat at least 4 people including one child seat. As it is my very first family car for my new born little Javier, engine is no longer a top priority. Safety come first!

I had always wanted a mid SUV(Sport Utility Vehicle) or CUV(CrossOver Utility Vehicle). Finally I can make my dream come true! Lol. I have several cars in my head and all of them are currently available in Brunei.

Hyundai Sportage 2010
Have seen quite a few on road, nicely design and packed with features. Will probably drop by the showroom to check out the price and spec. I remember the last time when I was at the showroom, one of the salesman told me this car need waiting lists of 6 months....


KIA Sportage 2011[2.4 High Spec]
Another Korean car, this one caught my eye because they have DRL on their higher range. The most amazing feature for this car is the 5 years warranty/ 150,000km warranty. I don't think there is any car in Brunei that can beat that. Price is about $33k.


PEUGEOT 3008
Could this be my very first French cuisine? LOL. I pop by TCY newly opened showroom few months ago and saw this car. The only thing I really like about this car is the super huge panoramic roof! This car cost $49k. Anyone own Peugeot out there? Care to share some of their reliability issue?


There are a few more new car models going to be launch soon. We shall see how in 3 months......

======================================================

On another note, I am also planning to get another small car for my newly opened CH-TOYNATION. The reason for a small car is because I want to promote my store using the car and also for me to easily get around town. Driving Porsche Boxster is kinda difficult as sometime the front and rear boot cannot fully filled my stuff. Here are some of the model I am thinking about....

KIA Soul [High Spec]


TOYOTA Bb - only available from import....


DAIHATSU Materia - any one selling their Materia? Please contact me A.S.A.P
