Brilliant review..all I needed to know ...many thanks from london..
I like SG mart car review. Short concise informative
I liked your review very much!
Love my 3008. You can click the ac at the top of the screen rather than clicking the lower button and then the screen. Glovebox, skip that with the massive centre space. You can also drop the boot floor to gain even more space
It has been a while since you do the review. Miss your review. Like your comment in concluding the review on the dependability on French car 😊😊
A great to the point review.
good video, any idea on when will the 2021 sorento will launch in SG?
I never knew they had this facelift. But the 2021 3008 is littttt
I own the Diesel version of the 3008 1/5 Liters for more then 2 years. It is completely reliable and very pleasant to drive and use. So... don't let people spoil your fun with "once upon a time" stories. And, yes - thanks for the review.
Bloody awesome video intertaning funny guy first time seeing him as I want to buy this car he is very descriptive helpful information and just awesome because of him I'm definitely getting this car next week brand new thank you
I discovered your reviews, in particular the excellent reviews by Jon while researching French SUVs here. I have to say, I've seen a lot of car reviews and by far the ones by Jon are the best local auto reviews. Why? Because he injects knowledge and intelligence in a simple, fuss free way. No long beatings-around-the-bush, no vanity monologues nor superficial comments. Rather he focuses on things that matter to us, or to quote him, the proverbial elephant in the center of the room. In this video, the way he discusses the French "reliability" perception while pointing out Japanese parts used in the 3008 really nailed it for me as a potential French car buyer. Yes, resale value may be affected by the perceptions here of buyers, but from any reliability research online, you can tell Peugeots have come a long way. It's main hurdle here now is ingrained mindsets rather than it's product offering. Thank you Jon and keep the reviews coming. - D.
Hey thanks for the encouraging feedback it makes our day!
- Jon
Agreed. Jon is the best. Julian is freaking annoying.
Excellent point mentioned, sharing car parts is so common now that it's hard to draw a line between specific brands. The stigma that comes from perhaps our parents carries over and affects our opinion as well. Personally owns and enjoys the 5008 but many would frown upon the mention of its brand, the resale value and reliability. I would say "try it to believe it"
For those who have had bad experience with Peugeot cars previously, it's pretty true for the previous generations. The new generations using the Puretech engines have vast improvement in their build quality compared to the previous generations.
BTW, this review missed out the boot floor board can be lowered to give more boot space and the tonneau cover can be kept below the boot floor board.
truth is, Peugeot is a great car. The only problem is actually the service centre.
@@RedBeanPaste It depend on your selection of and relationship with the SA lol
Not true. Family bought the 308SW. Had nothing but good experience with the SE.. two of them in fact. Seems like most of the staff there are driving peugeot.. Which is really surprising to me. Maybe that's a testimonial of their belief in the brand
Ya. He also missed out the fact the the rear seats can be tilted back for more comfort
@@RedBeanPaste I agree. All you get is a piece of recycled service record and the service staff pushing for engine flush.
Loved your review 👍 when I saw this car the first time it made me think of the Evoque right away (without imagination even LOL). Get you completely on that. 👍 love the ass of this car 💪
How about doing a group test together with the Citroën C5 Aircross?
So far so good kf all SG car mart review, but if can add in some maintenance and spare parts cost of the car will be perfect.
Nice video, I prefer the 1-man review format.
If driving up north, is it advisable to get the 1.6T? Is the 1.2T alright for up North?
Does it come with ambient light?
Can yall pls do a review of the Mercedes-Benz GLB!!
16:30 as an ex-Peugeot 3008 driver (previous gen), I have to admit that my family sold off the car within 2.5 years (2016-2018) as a result of the frequency of various components failing over time. From malfunctioning coolant temperature sensor to faulty BlueHDI pump to broken aircon compressor and more, it left us pretty disappointed with the car despite being a nice vehicle to drive in. 😅😅
And yes, as mentioned by the rest, very appalling resale value.
Thanks for sharing Marcus! Sorry to hear about your experience. May your new car bring you more joy :p
- Jon
If anyone wants to buy a Peugeot, go for the Puretech engines with Aisin gearbox. I'm driving a 308sw 1.2T for the past 3 years, no issues so far. I have friends who have gone past 100k mileage with no major issues for the Puretech models. Reliability has improved a lot for the new generation models.
@@sgcarmartreviews Thanks Jon! The power of 4 rings definitely brought more joy. 😆
I have this 3008 for 2.5years and its been good so far. Its using aisin transmission and the award winning engine. I was surprised with the power from this tiny engine, good fuel economy and cheap roadtax. Yes interface could be better, like the lack of ac button, and the 2 useless dedicated heated seat button, only the french could do this
Thanks for sharing your perspective as an owner of the 3008!
- Jon
There are mainly 2 groups of Singaporeans. The first group are risk aversed who will stick to the tried and tested Japanese. The second group will just go for the badge. If you Google or search on UA-cam the least reliable cars, you will find that they are dominated by all the big German car brands. You can ask any BMW owners and most will tell you the long list of issues they faced with their cars. But to them the badge conquers everything. French cars on the other hand are highly underrated. Their reliability has improved over the past ten years. And I am a proud owner of 4 French cars to date. I just retired my almost 10yrs old 207cc and got a 5008. And I belonged to the minority group who wants to drive something special and unique. Talk to any Peugeot owners, and they will tell you the special connections they have with their car. On one hand, I feel injustice for the French car brands while the popular German brands can get away so easily with their lousy reliability records. But on the other hand, I just hope the Singaporean mentality on cars stays as I want my favourite brand to stay uniquely for the group who can look beyond the badge.
I agree that some makes get a free pass when it comes to reliability - even Japanese! Thanks for sharing your perspective.
- Jon
I agree with you totally. I’m a Citroen fan and driving my 3rd Citroën, a C5 Aircross now 😊
@@lewisthong3462 my dad used to drive a Citroen C4 Picasso. The suspension, handling and comfort are great. And I forgot to mention in my previous post that the French/European Euro NCAP safety are much better compared to the Japanese.
@@kennethho5951 Yes u are spot on on that - we looke beyond the badge. I drive a 3008 and it's almost 3 years old now n i am still loving it! Best Buy ever!
As a Malaysian who owns a 2019 peugeot 5008, I agree with this too 🙌🏼
Does anyone know what the speakers are like. Does your music sound well and clear?
I had drove a Peugeot small van previously for about1.5 years. The van problems included back door handles that broken time and again, the power window broke down, air-conditioning issue and fan belt issues.
This had caused me to doubt the quality of Peugeot cars/good vehicles.
It was mentioned before that these conti cars were built meant for a chiller n dry climate. Spare parts are hard to get. I have a few friends giving up on Renault n Peugeot because of its close proximity of going for workshop repairs (OEM ones). Each time for a time of 4 to 6 weeks. After driving for 2 years, they hold their hands up. One Changed to a subaru forrestor and then it's happy days. Well, I have seen too many bad experiences by friends I know of. hence I am too afraid to try. So far, not seen a successful friend who drives a great French car for more than 5 years and have no complaints.
1.2 liter is small engine ? 1.5 blueHDI is much better right?
How about the 5008 model?
Could we get other prop like wheelchair perhaps!
Why car reviewers don’t mentioned about road noise level?
Strange. The 2021 version with new day running lights is already out for a while and autofrance is still selling this old version?
Singapore is usually about a year behind Europe. We have too small a market here to get priority. When the new 3008 was first launched in Singapore in 2017, Auto France could not secure enough stocks. The first 2 batches were sold out even before they reached our shores. That's part of the reason why I ended up getting the 308sw, cos I cannot afford to wait 3 months for the next batch of 3008 and there was no confirmation if stocks can be secured for the 3rd batch....
Just bought Mazda cx5 most reliable and trustworthy
I have the GT LINE PREMIUM 1.2 Eat8 and im loving it so far, it only costs £35000 in UK which is about 65000 dollars In Malaysian dollars
You're wrong Jonathan. I drove a Citroen for 5 yrs. Bought brand new. The nightmare/madness/hellish began after 2 yrs of ownership.
-turbo cooling system broke 3x.
-radiator overheated 3x.
-engine gasket leaked 2x.
-engine misfiring every year.
-air con compressor broke 2x.
-water pump changed 3x.
-interior plastics literally melted.
-wiper motor broke.
-leather seats tearing apart after just 1 yr
-passenger seat belt loosen for no reason.
-climate control unusable after a year.
-sensors and wiring goes crazy as they wish.
-the lists goes on.it will take me a day to fill it up.
This is from an actual perspective from a real owner. You might be wondering why I did not get rid of it earlier. Market price for french cars are worst than a stale pizza. The only thing that worked perfectly was the Aisin 6 speed gearbox which Toyota partly owns.(the only reason that it lasts)
Everything else crumbles and wither like a dry leaf. No matter how much tender and love you shower it.
I rest my case.
Wow that’s a rough experience. Thanks for sharing. Hope you found a better ride after that.
- Jon
@@sgcarmartreviews Thanks for responding Jon. I did. Now driving a Toyota.LOL!!😁
There’s lemons among every brands. Sorry you had such a bad experience. But I’m now on my 3rd Citroën. They are fantastically comfortable cars! I had the GC4P, both the THP150 and the E-THP165 and I drive the C5 Aircross now.
@@lewisthong3462 yes I agree. Very comfortable it's just not made to last.
@@lewisthong3462 i've been looking at the C5 Aircross. care to share a little how the ride is?
If u squint hard enough, the new latest Honda Jazz/Hit looks like a Mini Cooper from the front. Right? Agree? 😅😜
Hi. I am from Mauritius. Thanks for the excellent review of the Peugeot 3008. I am going to buy one shortly. The Mauritian feeling about French cars is the same as that of Singapoureans, i.e. French cars are not reliable though you nearly do not have any franch cars breaking down ont he road. I have a BMW 320i, Yr 2014 and must say that this car is not at all made for tropical countries. Anyway, looking forward for my, sorry, my wife's new Peugeot 3008.
People living in 3008 seeing this car: 👁👄👁
can anyone tell the different between this 2020 vs 2017 model? is it only EAT6 vs EAT8? i dont see where is the facelift
Mainly the gearbox changed from Aisin 6 to Aisin 8 speed. Everything else seems the same to me.
Seems like the latest face lifted version is not available here yet. I think AF is getting rid of their old stocks first.
this is 2017 model. The 2020 model isn't available yet
Nice presentation.....but correct me if I am wrong....is there such a word as "squinted" ?.... even in past tense, the correct word is still "squint"... if singlish is ok lah....... hahaha ...thks for the review!!
MEANWHILE IN MALAYSIA WE GOT 1.6 TURBO
I like your review, such as logical and practical opinions. But multiple French car owners have told me never to get those. As with their luxury stuff, they're usually overpriced. I might be paying for their design though as I agree the interior you're sitting at, imagining the view you get looking at the dash, I know it will definitely be a looker (by the way the buttons look good too). Well, driving a British car, I can't say it is reliable too (1 year replace 1 part on average), but hearing the nightmares of FR car, I think UK cars generally fare a little better (Just don't compare it to the Range Rover, which is disastrous too)
Thanks for sharing Zhong Heng! I had a Korean car where it was also a part a year on average after 3 years. I think we have to expect that machines spinning thousands of times per minute on a daily basis will eventually need repairs and replacements.
- Jon
*don't think of Uncle Roger, don't think of Uncle Roger, don't think of Uncle Roger goddammit haiyaaaa
Why do it now? There's a new one with a better face coming out. Is this just an attempt to clear the old stocks?
It can take up to a year or more before a new model reaches Singapore, unfortunately.
- Jon
The BMW 5 series just took 4 months from the international launch to be in Singapore.
If the French as what you say takes 1 yr to launch in Singapore. This is one of your reasons why the French isn't so popular here and needs to rethink its strategy in Singapore as well.
y both 2008 and 3008 looking so small beside u haha
French cars exist for one reason: for you to do charitable work. After suffering for a few years like my neighbour has with his 2018 3008 (the current model, not the old one like the fanboys will insist), you can sell them off at low, low prices and switch over to Japanese simplicity or true German luxury, hopefully much the wiser.
If you're buying a French car second hand, don't make the same mistake many did. Just look at something else.
What were the problems ?
@@goodlifebdg The timing belt snapped, requiring replacement of the engine.
@@cubular3000 wow what.. only the belt snapped but the whole engine needs to be replaced ?
How many KM s did your friend drove it ? Did he buy new or used ?
@@goodlifebdg Bought new. The timing belt for the 1.2 PureTech model runs submerged in oil. As the oil aged, it caused the belt to harden and shred off. Mind you, the car was serviced on time by the agent and the issue occurred at about 50,000km.
There are many cases of this online - can do a search. PSA have changed the belt 4 times in an attempt to resolve the problem but there’s not much a belt can do against hot, acidic engine oil, right?
There are many other issues depending on which model you buy… if you buy a diesel you’ll be hit by the AdBlue tank failure which is USD1,600 each… if you get the 1.6 THP watch out for chain tensioner and high pressure fuel pump issues… there’s something for everyone!
@@cubular3000 wow so many issues !
So can i say that peugeot @ 50.000 KM = major problems ?
So , if i want one, better sell before that at 50% discount ?
previously owned a Peugeot RCZ. the reliability in French car is really bad..... its a very looker car however wear and tear is unimaginable. from the years of owning one my observation is french car just doesnt suit our sg climate!
Seat Ateca pls Your Highness
The new face-lift is nice.
@@PosPsycho88 concern is resale value Sir
No cd player??
Cd in 2020? Use the phone u are watching this video from
Oh yah.... So can burn mp3 song from limewire to cd-r and play in car. Good idea! Tip: use cd-rw instead can burn songs many time on the disc.
@@dma6111 what...please explain...thank you...i have some cd and thinking about buying a 2021 3008 1.2 and no player for cd 's thanks
French cars have had a bad history. Have had 2 Renaults before personally and have had many issues both electrical and mechanical.
Those cars are not acclimatized to our weather.
Parts are expensive and not always available due to lack of demand.
Frightful deprecation due to "cold door" syndrome.
Difficult to sell as a used car.
What is the cold door syndrome ?
@@goodlifebdg "cold door" refers to unpopular cars in Singapore. Not mainstream. Used car dealers would use that term to knock down the trade in proce
@@VinceDaMan314 seems to happen everywhere except for europe.
So, about 50% drop after 3 years ? And you need to sell to dealer, because nobody is looking for it
The main point is that if u squint hard enough, everything will be ok for this car? 😜🙊
Hahaha! Nice one
I would say the Mazda CX-5 looks better than this and it’s way more reliable than any French car.
Won’t buy because no physical knob for aircon!!! Will car makers please don’t change the formula that just works😂 can’t imagine trying to adjust the aircon while driving
Got the impression of Peugeot bad reliability from car workshop and mechanics... will have to admit that was many years ago, don't know if Peugeot improved... driving a Qashqai now and yes cos its part Renault reliability is not as solid as Toyota or Honda... many issues if u check out the forum, personally experience a couple of them...
Oh no that sucks to hear about the Qashqai. Hopefully everything was rectified under warranty?
- Jon
@@sgcarmartreviews Yes, rectified but hopefully it doesn't comes back and hopefully I dun tio the other probs, warranty up in Nov.
would buy a german rather than france car
very different price point. or do you mean the Opel Grandland X? i believe that is French too
to me i feel that german cars are more bang for the buck for its better reputation, branding and reliability compared to french cars ?
If i were to choose between the french peugeot 3008 in this video and lets say a german Audi Q3 , i will choose the Q3 even it cost about 30k more
Apart from branding reputation and reliability, the Q3 also has more hp and torque , more safety features, more high tech , has larger boot capacity and even LED headlights which this peugeot does not .....
most car reliability studies rates german cars right at the bottom
bottom 5 are normally range rover, bmw, merc, jag and audi
Opel is German, but they have been bought over by French PSA and their new models are using Peugeot's Puretech 1.2T engines and Aisin gearboxes.
Still no auto hold
Yes! No permanent auto hold. There's temporary hold for few seconds if you're on a slope. It engages automatically, don't know how to deactivate or activate it manually. No buttons or options in the settings menu.
@@nonenone6499 You can't activate/deactivate manually. It senses the degree of slope you are on and activate if it too steep. The issue I have is trying to get a factory workshop manual. AF does not sell it.
Underpowered, genting run will be struggling
Go test drive one and see. I drove my 308sw up Genting, few trips to Ipoh. Usually fully loaded 4 adults 1 child. Same engine and gearbox as this 3008. The 230nm of torque made it a breeze going up Genting. On NSHW, accelerating from 110kph to 140kph for overtaking is also fuss free.
