Bought one about 7 months ago and love it. Put a tow ball on the back to carry 4 bikes and works fine. I have not felt comfortable using the automatic parking. Very zippy when using the Power mode. Great review. Adaptive cruise control is a must.
@@tommah78 I don't have a car but usually rent one 2 times a month to visit family. I've had a 3008 a few times and the cruise control stalk is no problem really. Steering wheel controls are better of course.
The 5008 looks great. The interior looks fantastic especially at this price point. I would def consider one especially with that new, more agressive front.
I agree, you just need to keep in mind that if something goes wrong, the after market support will be woeful. Without a time traveler to advise on its reliability, the risk is too great imo.
I've owned one for a year and thought you did a very good job reviewing it, well done. We remove the third row seats most of the time and manage when travelling pack a huge amount of luggage in their place. Do feel that the cabin has a bit of noise resonance and could be a little quieter. Have the petrol engine which doe's an adequate job but in hindsight should have gone for the larger diesel engine.
This car has a bit of style and flair compared to much of the opposition but the slightly slab sided look means that interior space is good. Potential buyers with 3+ kids should seriously look at this very attractive offering. I would give the diesel a miss though.
You did not mention the handy second row seat under floor storage compartments and flat folding front passenger seat that are standard. Also, Peugeot doses not offer Bose sound systems as you stated, the 5008GT is fitted with the French branded Focal premium sound system with 10 speakers.
The trunk is 780l from what I know. Also in Europe, the 1,6l petrol engine generates 180hp and the premium sound system comes from Focal and it is much better than any Bose. funny those differences between regions.
I've enjoyed driving my 5008 for 3 years now. Worst thing is interior lighting at the back and in the boot: loading and unloading needs a torch unless there are good street lights. Plus, I don't think touch screen controls should be allowed for anything you use on the move, such as heating: it's absurd that you have to take your eyes off the road to adjust the cabin temperature.
We bought a new 5008 3 weeks ago. We had the joy of driving it for 7 minuuts before returning to the dealer. Waited 10 days to have a " I think they call it a knock sensor" to be replaced. Got it back last Thursday, then came the smell. Smelled like burning rubber. We took it back and it was said it is new car engine paint. We drove it about 400km and the smell stayed with us. It is currently back again. Out come this afternoon... dont know what cause this rubber burning smell after driving awhile. It should go away they say........ in short, we have been fortunate to have parked our brand new 2023 5008 for a full 4 days in our garage in the last 3 weeks.
If they sold the DS 9 here in Oz, I'd go out and trade our G20 330i for the DS 9 Etense 360. With 360bhp and AWD and those looks, to DIE for, yes please!
@@andrew22334455 lol. M340imwill easily be about 120k, DS9 would be about 85k. Huge difference. It's insanely better looking than all current BMWs. Same 0-100 time. BMW has better handling a but a harsher ride, lower warranty, and way cheaper materials overall. Build quality is good. But not excellent. Power is negligible, especially as it's only about 27 more, which isn't much. I'd still take the DS 9. I've had New BMWs, mostly M cars, Ferraris, Aston, Alfas, Alpine, Mercs, Audi's and many more. All new. Could care less about the badge. Which most in Sydney, as Sydney's population is a majority in the West, where we have a decade old Lambo and a 15 year old C63 in front of a absolute POS shack. That's who's pick the 340......finance for 84 months, and all they'd care about is the badge. Sorry if you can have any badge, it doesn't mean much to people like me.....I'll buy a car because it looks great, regardless of price and anything else. I don't have that shack and I live far, far from West Sydney😘😘
@@andrew22334455 don't think it is fair comparison, as DS 9 is a Business Class middle/large size car, while M340 is a completely sport car. Two different market segment
Test drove it and was quite comfortable and felt luxurious inside but the reversing camera resolution was horrible. Like something from 10 years ago... Was enough to take it off of my list.

I have owned a Peugeot for 6 years, just ticked over 53k and it has needed nearly 7k in repairs. Peugeot Australia are TERRIBLE to deal with and I would never buy one again no matter how positive the review!
@@gregrobins5615 I have a 308 2015 release. The whole rear torsion bar had to be replaced within a few months, Entire aircon had to be replaced, (that was just over $4k worth) the time belt and brake compression system was replaced through a safety recall, and most recently the heater fan control module has to be replaced. It's coming from France and will hopefully be here by the end of March. I was not allowed to pay extra for expedited shipping which REALLY annoyed me.
@@broadbeach181 That's a strange list of things to go wrong, I hope that it is/was covered by warranty. I also own a 2015 308gt diesel which has had the ad blue tank replaced under warranty and which is showing warning lights again now. Beautiful car to drive having said that.
@@chasingcars I cross shopped the Karoq/3008 in late 2020 and actually ended up with the Kodiaq. I preferred the interior of the Skoda and the extra power, plus 4wd. With options they do get pricey, though, and there's massive wait times on them atm. Still, I think the 3008/5008 are definitely worth a look for being a bit different and I did think the 3008 drove pretty well.
It's a French car, it doesn't matter how many kW it can make - the engine will make zero power when this vehicle is being towed to the mechanic so it can be repaired.
The diesel “a little bit more”? $8,000 is a lot of petrol! Personally I’m not a SUV kinda guy, well actually I’m not! But this looks typically French quirky, which breaks the mould of the others. 🤔
Liking Sandeep Bhambra's French designs. Why dont all cars have tray tables? Cost next to nothing. Even the cheapest worst airliners have had them forever. It's not gutless but a bit more grunt wouldn't go astray. Where is the Au model made, France, China or Malaysia?
We should be getting the Rennes made ones. I suppose if demand outstrips supply, some of the more poorly made ones from Chengdu (opinion on build quality) will join the rest. Now part of Stellantis, Tavares likes to try and keep certain cars made in certain places.....we shall see how this goes. PSA has a massive parts bin to pick from, as long as their quality continues to improve, as does the power output, ICE or EV, and they can keep improving quality and keep their amazing quirks, they will survive past the 10 years Tavares has given the marque. And now that we have an Agnelli back as a chairman, let's hope things turn around for Stellantis. They have some beautiful cars in their stables!
Over designed, unattractive and does not last well, loses value greatly, I wouldn't buy a French car, especialy the 5008, even more when considering better competition from other makes.
@@gregrobins5615 It's been on sale here in europe with the first generation in 2009.

Great guys great reviews! I think the best in AUS!
Just ordered mine in april 2023 ..delivery expected in january 2024
Wonder why they don't offer a large suv to Australia ? Sure it's costs and being right hand drive but still..

You are lying. Their are very reliable according to all reliability surveys and eveyone i know with a peugeot after 2012 hasn't any problem
@@pap_chr5063 Well that's rude.
Any chance of a comparison with a Rav4 too, this Peugeot is classy ?
so what the engine is best for this?
So… how did it compare to the Kodiaq?
Definitely in the ballpark but the broader Kodiaq range - and the Skoda’s stronger engine - helps that car. Maybe a head to head comparison is needed.

Meh I'd probably buy an Outlander if I really needed a 7ish seater, better warranty, cheaper and Japanese. Is the RAV4 in the 7ish segment?
Paying a premium price for only a 121kw engine.... even without driving it I would say not enough. 🤔
It's a French car, it doesn't matter how many kW it can make - the engine will make zero power when this vehicle is being towed to the mechanic so it can be repaired.
It's odd and pity the newer 1.6 PureTech with 133 kW and an 8-speed automatic is not available in Australia.
