We have a 208 EV 2022 in Ireland and it went in for the 15000km service and the dealer rang and wanted €80 for a pollen filter when i told them i have a service plan with the car the attitude changed. Then at 22000km we had to get the windscreen replace due to a large stone chip and when i went back to collect the car i was told that they cant calibrate the camera that there might be something wrong with the windscreen so i rang the crowd that put the windscreen and they told me to come in to them which is an hours drive and guess what they calibrated the camera in 20 minutes. Now the issue is the dealer handed back the car to a customer with some of the safety features not working, thats not good and finally the car went in for the 30000km service and on the way home the service light came on so i checked the pollen filter and it wasnt changed thats some service from Peugeot. My guess is the car wasnt serviced they just stamped the book. I made 2 complaints to Peugeot Ireland and nothing was done so we are finished with Peugeot and we are finished with electric, one filter to change and they couldnt even do that.
Not good for a brand that is trying to go premium anf put it up to the big three German premium brands. I heard someone call Peugeot mid Premium but not doing themselves any favours with service like that.
@@ISuperTed yeah the car has been perfect not 1 issue I know some dealers are not great but surely Peugeot Ireland should have done something. It’s there loss.
To think that as a customer you weren't worth the price of a pollen filter (overpriced filter too...). Crap after service can completely turn someone against a brand. Such bad business practice. Good riddance to them whoever they were.
@@richardwallace2458 What pisses me off is that we have a 3 year service plan with the car so we have payed for the services and they are getting the pollen filter for free because we have payed for it. I can get a Bosch pollen filter online for €20 for the car, shocking treatment.
I watched this review and headed off to test drive a 2008. This review failed to mention the badly compromised driving position of this car for a taller driver. I’m around the same height and build as Derek (188cm) and there was no combination of steering/seat adjustments whereby I could see the driver display and avoid my knees hitting the steering column. It’s an atrocious piece of design engineering in terms of ergonomics and functionality. After an hour at Peugeot, it turned out that I can’t comfortably fit in any Peugeot model with a digit lower than 5. 5008 and 508 were fine.
Thanks for the comment Peter. I always mention the steering wheel/I cockpit viewing issues but not as much on this one. Apologise. Sorry to hear it doesn't work for you. Maybe the e3008?
@@NevoEVReviewIrelandNo problem, Derek. I enjoy your reviews. I just felt this was worth mentioning in relation to the 208/2008. I would need a 508/5008 to be comfortable with the Peugeot cockpit set up.
I think Peugeot / Stellantis are doing a fantastic job at building solid great looking cars and transitioning their fleet onto the new STLA platforms. We'll clearly see big range improvements with every technical facelift and new generation, so I wonder who the today new 2008 and 308 will hold up in 10 years time.
Lovely car. The problem for Peugeot and Renault is the price they cannot compete with the likes of MG or BYD that give you so much more for lower prices. Smallish battery.
THe Chinese government pays BYD to build cars, even without having customers to buy them. They do this in order to get the market share. It is virtually impossible to compete against this.
Was going to subscribe but the fact you push EVs has put me off completely. EV sales have collapsed because people have become aware of all the pit falls of them
Love the wheels on the GT model.
Me too!
Thanks great review im getting my new e2008 end January in grey looking forward to it your review spot on im getting the gt 👍 thanks again
Thanks Tony. Safe travels
Just wondering if you got your car and how you fid it so far? I'm looking to get an EV one.

That’s terrible. I have a good dealer in the UK who has been excellent. Sounds like you just have a bad dealer on that one - the car itself is great.

Citroen e-C4 was the one you missed 😜
Nice car but better available at this GT price point
How could I miss it! 🤣🤣
Lots of competition for sure
A very good review. Many thanks. I have been on the Peugeot website and I can fine the 'Active' but not the the GT?
Is it the Irish Website Pete?
This is a beautiful new design! I love it and will sure buy it l. However, the delivery time is around 3 months and that is quite long for me ):
Thanks for the info! Surprised it's so long
That's a short wait, some cars are over 6 months.
Let's hope the problems with onboard chargers in the e208 are fixed in the latest facelift. Not sure if the e2008 had the same issues..
What was the problem?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland lots of reports of onboard chargers needing to be replaced on Corsa-e and e208

Hello mate

Wait for the offers to appear.. they are still inflating EV prices to protect ICE sales, perhaps.. I have no evidence for that though of course.
Its a nice car
I like it too
Nice looking but not a dedicated ev. Still it should sell well. Still trying to come to terms with the small steering wheel.
Thanks
Des
It's definitely on the smaller side
Informative video thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@NevoEVReviewIrelandgoing to have to start measuring steering wheels now 😂
Xiaomi's first EV, the SU7, has 800 km range and better ADAS than Tesla
The Electric Viking
Looking forward to seeing it!
No way that's gonna have the range with the same battery size.
