Thanks guy's for your great review. Brought a new Gt 130 8speed auto in fusion orange 8 10 months ago. Absolutely love the car and no problems or recalls. Highly recommended and one of the best looking cars in the carpark. Keep up the brilliant work.
I have the allure pack 2023 black edition but in my country we dont have the Gt sport so no 18 black rims the agent prefered to order the car equiped with control grip that does not match with 18 allow weels on 2008 peugeot but 17 rims
I live in Spain and the specifications are different, some things added or taken away. A good car which feels very well made and safe. I've just found your YT page and thank you very much.
absolutely right: specs vary from country to country. it depends on where the car is made, and whether or not right hand drive vehicles can have the same features. but mainly, it depends on how the local buyers the the brands..... peugeot sells very few cars here, and that is a a great shame
@@gaycarboys Made at the Stellantis in Vigo, Cantabria. Allure Plus Auto 130 has 8 speed box, lane control and auto braking plus regular cruise and speed control. Very pleased with it and the handling shines when you push it a bit. Very well built and the 3 cylinder growl I love. It was bought to do long trips around Europe and is good on the well surfaced Spanish roads.
i'm glad you are happy with it. i think they are great cars. European fuel is far more expensive than Australian prices so a smaller engine is ideal. are there a lot of Peugeots in Spain?
@@gaycarboys The Stellantis Group (Peugeot Citroën Fiat Jeep etc) and the VW group are the largest sellers of vehicles here, plus Renault. Ford and the Japanese makes are less popular. The likes of Mazda are quite rare. Convertibles are not as popular here as in the UK for instance.
indeed. i think the brits are very keen on getting as much sun as possible. here in australia, Japanese brands are by far the biggest sellers. it is a funny old world.
@@gaycarboys did you happen to test out the sound system and were the speakers any good? Was disappointed to see the premium audio upgrade wasn’t available in Australia
yes indeed we did. excellent considering it was standard. FYI we test all audio at 0 boost in order to compare oranges with oranges. from memory it had a sub woofer (but this was several months ago and we've had many cares since)
@@gaycarboys fantastic! We do love a good sound system! I’ve ordered the GT Sport in Black but I’ll likely be waiting until November for delivery! Very excited!
the sound system is the first thing i go for. it it is rubbish, it is a non starter. having said that, the only vehicle i own doesn't have a sound system:) Assuming you're in Australia, make sure you let us know what you think when you get it. It would be good to get a couple of video clips of comments too. we're thinking about doing a viewer's section of some kind too.

they're nice looking cars, just a little overpriced here
Must admit these 2 guys give a good discrption
Love your reviews, really helped as now ordered my Peugeot 2008 GT. keep up the great work. Xx 🥰🇬🇧
lovely. don't be afraid to share them round. Hope the car goes well!
Look like very uncomfortable back seat
most small cars and SUVs are tight for space in the back, we've found.

How is the maintenance like for this 2008, any owners guru out there care to share plz......
there is a service plan, but it depends on what country you're in
Thanks gents. Seriously considering buying this, really appreciated the review and your insights.
glad to be of help. it really is very classy:)
