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

Ex Peugeot owner here, it is true, SC sucks. No more Peugeot for me.

Is your Peugeot CKD or CBU? I always get the perception that CBU will have a better fit in malaysia because we have lack of expertise in installing many continental cars like Peugeot. Maybe when it is assembled in overseas (for the new Peugeot 3008, all sales agents claim that CBU are from France itself), the overseas installer has better skills than local malaysians. Am I right in this?

But in the end regardless of CKD or CBU, problem will arise due to every 10k km servicing is done by locals and then problem will surface by them. Am I right to think like that?

Hi, so you end up still got buy this model?? I also have the same thought as you, CBU unit will have better QC compare to CKD unit.

From my friend's experience, his 408 last for 4 years (till now). Only the first year he service at SC, after confirm no problem, he straight service outside (the shop pro in service Peugeot car). Although it void the warranty, but at least don't have problem on his car.

I also plan to get this pretty car, processing loan now.

What the points having new car but with a poor after service.

And best parts, some user still saying the Peugeot SC here is still poor, lack of spare parts, skill etc. Warranty?

No, planning to get 2018 manufacturing year model and the guy in KD promised that got 2018 manufacturing year plus CBU, the only concern is that might not able to get it before CNY. as 2017 is coming to an end then after few months the 2017 model value sure drop in 2nd hand market.

What do you mean by straight service outside? Means he go to Peugeot SC for only a year then after that go out service outside even under warranty period? The thing is they say the engine oil they use for 3008 is customized by Mobil/Shell and only available in Peugeot so I think I'll stick to Peugeot for servicing, at least for 5 years.

Scare if I service outside then when got problem come they dont hold responsibility coz they say I service outside. Anyway do you mind sharing the shop that your friend visited? Maybe I can go there as well for minor repair.

No such thing for engine oil. However if you fix your car at sc, there are horror stories that the more they "fix" the more problems it has.
If you want to service outside, be prepared to void warranty. Apart from the sc, it is a dream to drive. I have a 308. Driven it for 7 years. Servicing and upgrading it at Kota Damansara.

Kota Damansara SC or outside workshop? Yea I'm just scared personnel in workshop not experienced enough to service the car, especially since it's CBU unit.

Outside workshop of course.

Ah I see. Mind sharing the workshop's name? Do you see any new 3008 on the road nowadays? Haha. Only seen one parking in damansara uptown (white) and another on the road near Seremban, but that's the lower spec version.

Why did you think it won the car of the year award in europe??? Peugeot have learnt their lesson and took out all the bad and amplify the positives attributes in the new 3008. I am thinking of getting the new 5008 when it launches here.

Bros Auto.

saw many great reviews bout this workshop across the net. thank you very much!

Just curious, how come you mentioned that it is unreliable when it is brand new? Any links that you can share where we can confirm what you said?

no need links, just my personal experience from owning the 308. not a completely new engine and transmission prevents me from giving them the benefit of the doubt with these new cars.

Oh, ok. That's a super old engine in the old 308. The new ones have been refined quite a bit already. Anyway, to each his own

So has anyone saw the new 3008 on the road before? and what's your fav colour?

I saw white in my neighbourhood deliciously sexy. However once I imagined i exhausted my annual leaves mainly in Peugeot SC couch... the bubble burst.


Just wait 3yrs+ and see whether issues prop up.

If PureTech engine range, perceptually will have better assurance.

But as long as EP6 series, need to be have mental preparation. The driver will need to have a better understanding on how the engine works to understand problems. If coming from no fuss cars and straight transition to peugeot/citroen without arming with fundamental knowledge, it will be a rude shock when hit with problems.

If really lucky, not much problem, good for the owner

basically its still the same engine with slightly different output

Yea, coming from a CRV user for almost 10 years with no problems (until recent 2 years having air cond and minor switch plug issue), I better have mental preparation for it haha.

So is the new 3008 using new engine or whatsoever? I know the 2008 is puretech. Sorry, not an expert in car specification in general.

The 3008 doesn't come with the new puretech engine range. But there were revisions done on the EP6 series engine as the years go by. Technically it would fare better than previous generations.

Just spare a little more money in pumping RON97 petrol, and idle the engine about half a minute before shutting the engine off (especially after a long/fast drive).

This is a very nice car. Shame that they deleted the panoramic roof.

I would definitely consider this car second hand in 2022. Hahahaha....

Its current Peugeot SC still that bad reputation?..

Im thinking getting the newly released 3008 as well...

The interior its freaking cool.. lol

Not sure, really need feedback from anyone who has recently bought a peugeot car haha.

Hi, i dunno how bad is your experience with the peugeot SC , but for my case..i actually ok with it..dint face any problem with SC yet i test drive the 3008 and it is good to drive..handling, comfort, performance ( Dont drive it like a sportcar then it is enough for you ) its all good , and really are satisfied with it. however, after sales is still the main concern for everyone, yes it was really bad for such case happened and still not resolved by NAZA/NASIM. But, they are actually improving bit by bit, which i dont think we as the consumer know that much.

When i was test drive, i was told that this 3008 is a big leap, as the french builder (Person who in-charge building this 3008 ) came to malaysia, and solve the problems by previous old 3008. And, they do some local testing for the new 3008 (2-3 mnths? I forgot ) something about air-cond testing, engine, and heat endurance to ensure the plastic quality is capable to withstand malaysia's weather temperature. Now, bear in mind , none of the previous peugeot model are tested like this, and the french guy is first time to solve the problem by coming to malaysia. I would say, this is an improvement if what the SC said is real. This is how they will gained their consumer's trust back.

Car is actually good, its a car of the year so no doubt on that, but people and management of NASIM are the one who should improve and change.
I do hope NASIM will do well by next year, if not..it will still the same even though the car is good. ( its the same for every car brand , everyone have to be improve and leap forward and not keep on doing same thing for so many years )

the old 308 Peugeot did encounter lot-lots of engine problem (156hp), believe its all due to Design error. U can google the 1.6 prince engine problem to get some view, some familiar case is the Timing Belt snap after a certain mileage, before recommendation mileage as highlighted by Peugeot, Turbo K.O etc2.

however they got design updates which somehow said rectified that problem on earlier gen (156hp) Prince engine, and it got 165hp.

this new 3008 still using the based 1.6 Prince Engine (165hp). I doubt it is 100% Reliable yet, time will tell.

inb4 have to use TOTAL Fully Synthetic Engine Oil for Peugeot car, else it will got engine problem, not sure why.

How much is the normal service cost for this car ? I believe no free service for this car. Come March no more cbu models instead will be ckd.

Not sure if same, but the Peugeot 508 1.6T averaging rm600 to rm1.5k for services.

Need to check the table service vs mileage

I glanced at the service cost table, each service is different but i think it starts from 450-500 like that. for some period it gets more expensive but some period it is cheaper. But min 450-500 per service.

Hi everyone,

Just got back from the showroom and was able to test drive the new 3008. I am seriously considering this SUV. I’ve never owned a Peugeot before and based on the chatters I’ve heard and read online, I have few concerns about this brand.

1. Reliability issue - most people talked about their previous negative experience using Peugeot, especially the 308 turbo model.

2. After sales service - well, being in Malaysia, I don’t expect heavenly kind of service but I heard about the incompetence issues related to this brand.

Any thoughts?

Need to gather some input before I make my decision.

Thanks.

In fact I am weighing on this as well, seems there is some improvement on after sales service but still lacks that confidence level at the moment. Since this Car has been launched only couple of months ago if time is not an issue wait and see approach would be fine. This latest model is still too new to give a verdict. But definitely parts are more expensive than Asian cars. There could be some discounts on the card for 2017 model come near cny. Fingers crossed.

highly doubt it, the peugeot official website has changed and updated a few CNY promotions on 2008, traveller etc except the new 3008 . Already book my 3008, wanting 2018 manufactured model but yet to confirm arrival date yet.

Nice one. Let us know how is it. This will be Last batch for CBU. From mar and apr ckd model will come in. According to sales told me price will remain. I doubt it will be.

3008 is a good suv. but sad thing malaysia peugeot refuse to bring in GT line which i have no idea why

That GT line is capable defeating CRV flat down

their explanation is that initially CBU is not priced at this level (155k for allure). They price it the same as CKD to attract ppl. I doubt it'll remain to, but think about it if it's priced at 155k now, how low can it be with the current features that this car has?

I got a low expectations that my car will arrive before CNY will confirm with my agent see when will my car come again next week!

Yup the GT line i saw on youtube is so good! with the panoramic sunroof and the massaging seats. guess it doesn't suit malaysians' preference and they'll have to charge higher price when Peugeot is not so popular in malaysia.

Could indure with three year free service like Mazda and now VW. Too bad they are not that aggressive in this market.

update: my dealer promised me that my 3008 will arrive around early February

2017 or 2018 manufactured?

Is good if you can wait for another 2 years and get a used 3008 (2 years old + car with remaining 3 years warranty) possible for less than RM 50k. If you look at the 2015 Peugeot 3008 now (2 years plus) some selling about 45k+. First 2 years, the car depreciate about 70% of its value.. Why not save 100k for a rather new 2 years car + more reviews 2 years later. Even if is not very reliable, max you can lose for another 15k..to sell the car again.

agreed, especially with cold brand like peugeot, citroen, kia, mazda.
not applicable with demand brand like honda, toyota

i booked for 2018 manufactured. my dealer told me a number of cars are coming to msia soon but not sure how many is 2017 batch and how many is 2018 batch. then two days later he confirmed i might be able to get it before CNY

If you can wait it is a good strategy. The problem is not many owners sell within 2 years unless the car is problematic. You may be able to find more owners selling from 3 years onward. This type of car is likely to be driven hard so expect high wear and tear.

3008 looks so good, sadly it still runs on the Prince engine. Just don’t trust the Prince.

first of all to each his own but how many more stories you need to know if you already decide for it. the saying that over time sc will improve and car wl be more reliable as better qc control and so on its just a fantasy. how many models needed for them to improve? I've owned citroen n Peugeot in 90's during mbf and they were unreliable as hell. passion is 1 thing but ownership experience that's another story. tell me since 405, 406, 407 n 408 isn't that enough to prove? not just Malaysia but overseas as well. gadgets beauty n price are tempting but truth hurts down the road. you will need lots of patience. Clarkson was right when he said Peugeot has no proper direction. lastly sometimes specialist means nothing compared to experience mechanic
also car of the year is not a good gauge to a car as they were judged from many perspective ie value, safety. pricing and so on but mostly not long enough to cover reliability issue.
also I don't think 2 year old car will depreciate 70%. get the right info on manufacturing yr. my cousin bought 308 last year at 92k after 20k plus discount or something like that so that's not a true reflection on value. it broke down 4 times in the first few months.

I never intend to put anyone or anything down but just looked at the Peugeot forum activity will tell you something. its best as a 2nd car. cheers and good luck. I am still driving a conti but other brand only.

p/s citroen ds5 2nd hand tempting as 3rd car but?

Thanks for constructive and honest feedback from many forumers. Guess since this is quite a new model in Malaysia compared to previous model. Wait and see approach would be an fair relflection of the car.

can u clarify the ds5 (BUT)

im still regards ds5 as best looking car interior. really tempted to buy it, as 2nd hand price is bang.
for sure will check for under warranty unit.

but is the car pretty reliable or really a problematic as it used the same engine as Peugeot 308T?

its not 1.6 THP as latest version right?

A car has many more parts that can break down other than engine. For example, oil seals will start to leak after 3 years (valve cover, oil filter housing, vacuum pump). Speaker cables start acting up (one of the speakers is silent). Gear shifter spoilt just before 5 years. Brake discs that need to be changed by the time you replace the pads. The list goes on

frankly, cant comment on ds5 as I have not driven let alone own it. looks wise and interior already won me and my "but" is because am I willing to go thru all the hassle of fixing?
anyways, saw 2 Peugeot traveler mpv on testing at jln Kuching Thursday morning albeit left hand drive. am pretty sure they wl bring in this model.

Nope. no money. i was surprised that the new 5008 doesnt have moonroof

Like it or loathe it

New 3008 turn out to be the sales contributor for Peugeot sales Q1 2018 vs last year same time. Up 59%

Attached thumbnail(s)

Increase from 386 to 615 = 615-386=229

229 /386 x 100% = 59.3%

i test drove the 3008 few weeks back. Really liked how it looks and interior as well. Driving wise it was ok, brakes were damn responsive though (almost too responsive, need some time to get used to it).

the sales guy told me this is the CBU unit and CKD will be brought in around June or July but no price difference.

Question is, would it be better to buy the CBU now or wait for the CKD version as im not sure what is the difference. I test drove the Merc CLA on the same day too and I felt theres a difference in quality between CBU and CKD.

I never try the 3008 but I do agree Peugeot thp car's brakes are almost too responsive.

In general i'd say CBU would be better since they are assembled in country of origin. As a manufacturer they would assemble the vehicle with the best workmanship.
Wih Peugeot in Malaysia,i might be temptered to wait for CKD. Peugeot has taken over the assembly plant in Gurun. With this i would expect same quality as CBU. Since price will remain te same, most likey the CKD will be offered with better spec!

so whats your next option then ? please share .

Ckd will be same price but what about the spec or would there be free maintenance for few years instead ?!

Wait 3 years , get new 5008/3008 at 70% off , transplant it with a toyota engine. = best car of the year

Good value for money indeed korean cars but the experience will not be the same. My ex colleague had the 2016 model, quite a few issues as well such as gearbox in the 1st year and other minor annoyance such as AC which he was also surprised at. The ride and handling is the only thing i cannot bear about korean SUV but for the price, really cannot complain much

Peugeot SC is still a crap? looking to buy used pug with years 2016 and onward. Try search latest update but couldnt find any..

That car had a bad reputation, plus value drops further because the successor is out already, and it is so much nicer.

Wow. You are back from long hiatus.

I think he meant waiting 2 years for the current gen 3008 to depreciate , buy if there are any from current owner having it up for sale by then. It is a good strategy I think especially if you intend to buy it cheap. Just that there may not be many owners of current gen 3008 letting go their two year old for sale.....

Ha, just very busy these days. More important things to do, like binge watching Netflix. Not sure I'll be here often. But I was curious what's happening in Malaysia these days.

His strategy is sound, but his pricing expectations aren't. Yes, the price will drop. But with the previous gen 3008, it also dropped because that car was end of life. Outdated model, end of life, successor is much nicer. Then add bad reputation, dealers trying to get rid of old stock (thus lowering the price for brand new cars) and you'll get a massive price drop. In 2 years the new 3008 will still be a modern, up to date car that looks great, and might have a better reputation by then (if it is a better car). So don't expect the prices to drop that much.

It is normal to see a car value drop by 50% after Two years here in Malaysia I am afraid. Don't believe me? try checking using an online check.


https://www.carbase.my/tool/car-market-value-guide

Sadly thats still have certain people who think their car would'nt loss much value after a few year due to their brand hierarchy. No one in the world will pay more than 50% of the original value of the purchase for a car that pass their 3rd birthday. Thats including all the Japanese brands. Let that sink in.

but they always claim T & H brand get the most RV
Myvi also popular
They can sell the junk at 50% after 10 years , thats why always must buy Vios and civic ketam

Good luck!

True. I wish it was that way in Germany... if you factor in the discounts dealers will give you on new cars anyway, a second hand car won't save you much.

But yes, in Malaysia its different. But... I didn't check, but if after 2 years the price of a 3008 is 45 to 50k, then new it must have been around 90 to 100k? Was it really that cheap to begin with? Isn't the new 3008 around 150k? Then after 2 years it won't be around 50k, but around 75k...

There are two trims , the lowest is RM135k before discount. A brand new after 2 years later possibly it will only fetch half of that value. Nearing three years it will drop close to 50k. I won't be surprise.

CRV hold value better though, the same site would show a 2015 or 2016 2.0 CRV will still have value of RM79k to RM85k, so it is not as much drop from its original price of RM135k+

Likewise for a CX5 from Mazda

But then these are just guides.....

any idea about 3008 maintenance cost?

about 500 for every 10k
about 1k for major service

SC use mobil 5 litre that is total 290.. every 10k need to change filter (not sure its aircond or engine, i think is aircond cost 110)..

CX-5 so-so la for RV.....though the owners may want to think otherwise...

Merely quoting site guide as reference. The site showed both CRV and CX5 hold value pretty good and almost on the same level....

Personally I would think CRV will hold value better since their numbers are much less than CX5 and also the current used CX5 are all older gen

recently view the 3008 SUV at one shopping mall...amazing designed, and I really impressed.
according to the sales man, mentioned:-
--taking from previous experience, PUG have better designed of the engine now to suit Malaysia climate condition, how true is this statement??
--from the past one year, they received have very good comments from the owners who purchase new designed PUG 3008 SUV, betul ke??
--SC service quality was being reform and upgraded, really?
...but..still but...negative comments about PUG are flooded many of the forums, although like it very much, but still in deep considering whether to own one..haizzz
any new owners here who can sharing more latest experience, hope to get more info.....

i was being told similar things 9 years ago when I bought my 308. and I sold it in a hurry before the end of my 5 year loan tenure. Go figure.

i think the best way is admire it from far....

the big grill of the older models look so nice, why second hand so cheap?
