Just take my breathe away with the design. Revolutionising design. Build quality is amazing and solid.

takes your breathe away not ...and when you own it, it starts taking money away and your annual leave away too

Still shit service in Malaysia? Still unreliable product? Never own Peugeot before. Please do enlighten us on your ownership experience.

Yeah, saw it a few months ago. It does look great in the flesh.

the new 3008 is an awesome car , if it uses the same engine as the new 408 e-thp, should be less problematic..

i own 508 gt diesel engine, going to 3 years now, so far very reliable car... doesnt share the same fate as the petrol thp version.

after sale service are improving now.. but not all sc though, some are still shit.. just need to find a good SA and stick with him.

company had 12 Peugeot 407. boss decided to buy due to hefty discount and loaded features. after 3 years decided to sell all and changed to Honda Accord. all sorts of problems from engine stalling, jerky transmission (unresolved by Naza), failed power windows, flooded boot, aircond compressor failure. they're fun to drive and comfy to sit in but when the problems keep coming, it just ain't fun at all

If same engine, prepare for nightmares!

ABS failure.
High pressure fuel pump failure.
Low pressure fuel pump failure.
Water sensor failure.
Aircon compressor failure.
Coil plug failure.
Spark plug failure.

Hahahahaha, .... Ha... Ha... Ha...

not only me btw..

now driving around town, window down cuz a/c broke (Warm a/c).
checked gas pressure, etc all normal levels..

My words, go buy 1, u will NEVER regret it, plenty of emotions over your motions of ownership.
Masa hilang, kerja hilang, duit hilang;

and best of all,
Peugeot SC got so much repairs that they got the best award in 'after sales service in original parts'
aka so many have to return repair that got high sales of original parts. *dont know if the award is taken off shelf*

Come back later and do ^enlighten us on your ownership experience^

i think we shouldn't stereotype brands based only on the reliability records of past products. Mercedes made bulletproof cars back then, nowadays, do they really still make reliable cars? One bad experience with one Peugeot SC doesn't mean the whole chain is shit. One bad product doesn't mean they cannot own up to their past. I own a Ford and I've heard the horror stories of people who own the same model as mine. In my 5-6 years of owning my car from new, I am extremely satisfied with the service and reliability of my car.

this is malaysia bro, the mentality like that already.. because of past history , peugeot reputation is bad here..straight away shoot down any new peugeot cars.. like the new 408 e-thp.... VW suffered alot too because of their dsg, a friend tried to trade in his passat, the value for trade in is quite low.

Oh dear nothing change then. The new 3008 is a good looking car though. And Singapore using diesel engine.

Looks good

The cars might have improved, but the SC, sadly is still the same as it is before... Trust me ive been to most Peugeot SC's in Klang Valley already.

Peugeot is arguably the most unreliable brand in Malaysia and the 308/3008 is one of their most unreliable models. The Peugeot SC is at the bottom in terms of after sales service. Their major service is as expensive as a luxury car. You want to stick your hand in the fire and hope it won't get burnt? Be my guest.

I don't think things can change much in a few short years. The problem is poor design, use of non-durable parts and lack of tropicalization. Why do the same parts like the HPFP keep failing? Why do so many owners have problems with their air-con? This French company will not customize anything for a small market.

If you a battle hardened Pug owner who knows where to find the specialist mechanics and parts cheaply then maybe you can drive a Peugeot. Otherwise this car will wear you down and drain you until you run out of dreams.

if u want buy a car to serve you, avoid it.

if u want to buy a car to serve it, go ahead.

tried the fuga(ford kuga) yet?
model just arrived in malaysia, just 1 year back in Aus they are notorious for unreliability
they introduced it in au as a better car, stonger car and a more tougher car than the Rav4 (in newspaper, tv etc and show spec sheet next to a rav4).
Won awards etc
Aussies fell for it, brought it, and they are complaining now.

Same goes for Jeep, failed in Au, come malaysia and people buy.
the wangler supposed to be offroad worthy, is like a toy car, breaking everywhere.

maybe u got lucky for not buying a lemon unit, but i cannot say that mine (3008) or (specifically 3008 as a model mentioned by TS)
is a lemon since other users also have the same problem.

I don't think just 4 years a SC or car maker can change so drastically that they up their game instantly.
I even know other 3008 users who just park it at home and wait to sell later,
or even users just bear with it and say 'biasalah, guna then terus jual' at SC while waiting

but if TS wants to go back the same model, just after 1 gen update/face lift, then, by all means.

Btw as a old and new merc owner, I do testify that the newer lower range models are rubbish (A/CLA/C/GLA) in reliability and drive-ability
but for their higher range, specifically S, they are still tough as hell. yeah maintenance of wear parts is exp,
but it does not break down on roads, do not endanger my life while driving, or give me a wet shirt before meetings.
I do not need to make special trips for faults, and the revised parts (airmatic/etc) are more durable (I used the 1st gen airmatic and it breaks after 100k km).
other than that gearbox still buttery smooth, engine revs nicely and quietly. it hands down beat any new cheap p1/2 car I drive at showrooms.

to summ up..

I regretted not stereotyping

Anyone bought that car already? Wanna hear your driving experience so far!

Tested the car, it was really good. Still deciding between 3008 and cx5, both are good suv. 3008 has everything one needs although certain aspect not as good as cx5.

Its almost a perfect suv for this price but still doubt about its reliability.

no need to doubt, it is unreliable. compounded by the lousy after sales support here in Malaysia. Nationwide SC still need to wait for spare parts from Glenmarie.

no doubt they can make good cars when it is working well, much better than the Japanese car. but up to you whether you can bear the trouble of owning one

Nice car but for a budget european, rather go for Japanese. I got 3 friends all used to own peugeot (308, 408, 508)... Problem never ends hence have to topup to dispose off the car. All bought a Honda and less stress since lol
