hi guys, would like to hear opinion from peugeot 208 owner,ex-owner or anybody that know about the car. Is it a good continental car or is it a very problematic and high running cost in terms of services? looking to buy a secondhand peugeot 208 and there is alot of them selling in a very reasonable price and used for only 1-2 Years with warranty. Its very tempting but it sounds kinda fishy because who bought a car to used for only 1-2 years? Unless there is a lot of rich dudes out there

if u no need work, and got heaps of free time, and love going to service centres,
yes it is the perfect car.

all their cars got problem, and when got problem, they (SC) don't admit it.
I have been driving around with this timebomb for 1 week.
acceleration slow, clunking suspension, etc

3 years of problems.

Engine check light lit you mean? What's the problem?

How do you find the workmanship and the service quality of the after sales service?

so many problem that even the sc don't know what they are doing.
fix 1 item, break another item, then want to fix say tungu next milage service.

workmanship win liao, send service, break something else, then ask to pay as they dont admit.
after sales service makes you want to go else where fix, try pj then glenmarie still not good, now finding another one.
sometimes it makes you want to go kedai uncle, at least they fix better than sc..

If I truly know what the problem is, I don't need send SC already, sendiri fix better.

quite surprise with your issue. so far my family member didnt have any issue regarding warranty claim (308 & 508). off course sc visit is a norm to them. but all the sc honoured their warranty claim (balakong sc).

from electrical problem..turbo valve..leaking..aircond..all repaired free under warranty.

Sounds like the quality of service is not much different from P1.

But how about the after sales service given by SDAC (Ford)?

maybe I need go belakong now. PJ and glam

oh running extended warranty now.
2 years used up, now extended (they used to offer extended by paying extra) 2 years.

submitting claim slow, apparently is not the SC but the SC runner.
he left our claims in his filing for >weeks and we had to chase up.

and the extended warranty is not like normal warranty which covers everything.
extended only covers what they want. so many items have to fork out etc.

tell your family members, 3rd year you fuel pump will break.
and peugeot will blame you for keeping your fuel levels low (which I did not)
my 3008 and friend 308 both similar time brought, both masuk workshop same time, same issue, same response.

GG next time I masuk workshop, suspension koyak (3rd time), turbo maybe koyak, engine oil issues, and check engine issues.
last time masuk 3 weeks ago, is overheat, radiator, electronics sensor, piping, etc.
My service logbook sangat tebal 1.

I feel sad that I am destroying my car's resale value, but this needs to be spoken up,
not many people have the time to play in SC, and they think they upgraded from proton/perodua etc.
but peugeot is like a downgrade IMO. pay more, still get more problems.

Buy peugeot = Buy problems

I'm one of the pug 208 owner. Service wise RM500 for normal service and RM1.2k - 1.8k for major service. So far no issue with my car after 2.5 years

dont know about that as I dont own and dont plan to buy a ford.

coming from straya, I know VW, Ford and Jeep are very notorious. (jeep last month extra famous)
in fact they are doing so bad that every program break on TV, will have all 3 company ads, definitely.
(is a sign that car not selling well)

touch wood, dont complain.

CBU import lemon for me.

to be honest my exp with p1 sc is much better than pug.

ya..ya extended warranty will happen like that. nway, my family member already looking fwd for a new replacement. dont think they want to form out huge amount of money just to repair here and there after the warranty ends.

yup better sell if can sell.
before the log book gains more 'history' of repairs and more word spreads out of the issue.

If you buy a used Pug 208 direct from its owner, you will make him/her very happy.

hahaha
want to buy a 308 vti, 3 years old now got 2 years EXTENDED WARRANTY left?
has the panaromic roof like turbo, with no issues that plagues the turbo.
40,000km on the clock. give me your offer, bigger car, different class than a 208.

fancy to look at, but a big no to engine and gearbox...seriously they still use al4 in 2015?

From my test drive. This car actually is a fairly nimble car. But I really dislike the 4 speeder gearbox. The gearing, as you corner, will start hunting for the better gear to use, which is relatively annoying

If they had given this a 6 speed Aisin AT, the car would be so much better to drive. As it is, I'd tell people to just go for the Polo 1.6 if they really insist on a conti B segment.

Features and tech wise, the Polo 1.6 is very outdated and inferior compared to the 208

Newer generation of Peugeot 208, 308 should have less problem. Currently you can rarely see people selling their 208GTi on Mudah, most are enjoying their ride with minor problem that can be fixed easily. Probably CBU car has better quality. I know is stated as CKD but Naza won't CBU a car that is low volume seller. For CKD 208 though, may be different quality but I was told that it is also CBU with some minor things install in Gurun only.
