Saw some ppl here wonder hows the latest peugeot car would be.

I would share my opinion here:
Peugeot arent really bad as rumours stated.

Im a 2012 508 owner and so far there's no major problems. And i had change the Engine under EWP due to engine oil consumption problem (never affect any other performance).

PSA did a huge improvement from few years back and intend to enlarge its market. You could tell from recent program that has been taken like extend warranty, recall programs.

If you are ever consider RV before buying, i would only recommend you go for a property instead.
PS. im currently service at SC Johor, Kebunteh. and so far they are nice and did solve the issue straight to point.

Things change from time to time, dun get brainwash by those old mind set.

2 -3 years on Can anyone share how the new 3008 experience has been?

I'm was offered a low mileage unit for a decent price, just wondering if it's still suffering from the usual Pug quirks like electrics, sensor etc...my family use to own a 2008 so i'm generally aware of the overal ownership experience but i'm just curious...Hope someone can share.

Hi all, I bought a 4yrs old 508 and have been using it as a daily car for almost almost 3 years. To be fair to all cars' brand, I would say most of the car's pro mostly coming from the owners. We should know what needs to be done to keep your car in best condition. European car are usually built with many safety features, hence the car can gives pro if detecting some kind of safety issues. Having said that, my 508 has not given any issue except recently changed the engine casket cover(can easily get OEM if one is fine with that). And this pro might not be discovered by other owners as it doesn't gives any pro except creating slight whistling sound when engine is cold. However, if nothing is done, then more other issues will surface. This can be the reason when one did not pay too much attention to their car's 'behavior' ended complaining that the car did not serve them well. As for Peu 3008, one of my good fren is driving it for almost 2 years with no pro as well. Am now proposing to buy his 3008 as market is yet to have many used 2018 3008 yet. I hope my input is able to assist some in making their decision to buy one. I'm more than happy if anyone would like to ask more questions with regards to owning one Peu. CHEERS.

I am also keen to buy a nice 2018/2019 3008/5008 but i think you will find more used units next year since FL is already out.

Normally many people who buy Pug etc are more wealthy than your typical BMW/Merc owner because they dun care about Brand RV etc and buying out of interest. Also most use their own money instead of company perk like the Germans.

I expect to see many being put up for sale in 2021. 3 Year mark is when most wealthy owners start upgrading to other cars. Just have to be patient.

I'm considering to get one again but everyone seems to be scaring me. I can possibly live with some repair cost, but the thing that i worry is left and right saying " I TOLD YOU SO!!!".

I own a 2017 Peugeot 308 THP. No problems until today except service centres which drive me up the wall. I service it outside now. No issues if u got a good mechanic.

Those who complain about pug spare parts etc are not owners. Most of them are your typical Honda Toyota fanboys who only think about RV and expect to pay 30k for a car that lasts them a lifetime. Screw them and let them continue with their kosong spec jap cars.

If u are interested in good ride quality, comfort and good handling, European cars are the way to go and Pugs have come a long way. I have owned 2 pugs. Earlier generation yes a bit of problems. New ones don’t worry. Much better and more reliable. Spare parts don’t compare with proton or Perodua price, be realistic. U don’t expect me to pay cheap price for an European ride but it is not much more than your average Mazda or Subaru pricing.

i own a 408 since 2013, bought new, mine car is ok & my batch fall under the 7 years warranty extended warranty program

to be frank, sc service is pricy, spare part claim is kinda slow, 2nd hand value is terrible

on the bright side, it's a fantastic car to drive

my advice is, get a good 2nd hand unit, do all the recall at sc, then go service/repair at independent Peugeot specialist

When buying a used Peugeot, go visit Ken of Bros Auto. He can tell what's wrong with your car just by looking at it.

Of course, this fella is always busy. Calling is useless. Go find him and ask.

I think Bermaz is aware that they are losing out service biz to specialist like Bros Auto

That is why 3 months ago, Bermaz announced....

Bermaz Auto to focus on improving Peugeot’s after-sales services

PETALING JAYA: Following its acquisition of the Peugeot business in Malaysia, Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) head of risk management and investor relationship Tony Toh said the company will first focus on improving after-sales service, then after two years will start looking into efforts to ramp up sales.

He said dealers, technicians and mechanics will be sent for extensive training to ensure they can provide high quality service to their customers.

“Our biggest challenge right now is to educate dealers in the Peugeot network.

“Part of our key criteria is keeping our customers happy, and to do that we need to sort out issues in the brand’s after-sales services,” he said.

This is the same method they employed to turn around Mazda, which at the point of acquisition had only five dealers nationwide, and BAuto managed to increase the number to about 70, running smoothly with minimal problems.

Toh is confident the company will be able to replicate this success with both Peugeot and the recently acquired Kia as well.

“Our main objective is to fix the problems by improving after-sales and enhancing training, which we are confident we are able to do,” he said.

Toh also clarified that BAuto will not be involved in the assembly line at the Peugeot plant in Gurun, Kedah, which will continue to be operated by Groupe PSA whereas BAuto’s role is in sales....
Late ? Yes. Still better than never, right?

Ahhhh. Peugeot. Its downfall in malaysia is mainly due to the SC competency problems.

Got myself a 508 back in 2011(3 years warranty), smooth sailing until 4th or 5th year where things start to go crazy, including the infamous depollution error/limp-mode.

SC couldnt solve it and keep throwing parts at the problem at my cost. Cat-con, high pressure pump, ignition coils, spark plugs, low pressure pump.

After paying all the money, problem still there. Later found out from other peugeot owners it was caused by intake valves carbon build-up.

Back then there's no one offering walnut blast cleaning service, so getting the valves cleaned was a problem. Found a forumer from autoworld that does it.

After getting carbon-cleaned, the thing was running good again, but too many things starting to go crazy.

Power windows, side mirrors, keyless access, auto parking brakes etc etc. In the end its too much trouble to keep, so ended up selling it off

I think they're improving though. Few years after selling my car, I got a surprise call offering to change parts for free. They will even do an assessment and see if the car warrants a new engine

But too late, they already lost 1 customer permanently

Hope it sell well in Thailand and Indonesia.

Our neighbouring counties deserve to get more choices with their money....

Unlike older turbo cars, this EP6 engine from Peugeot is highly unreliable. High pressure pump kaput after 2-3 years. Turbo housing cracked after 4 years. Turbo bearing kaput after 3 years. Coil over plugs kaput after 3 years without warning. Lastly, the low pressure fuel pump kaput after 3 years.

The low pressure fuel pump on my VR4 kaput after 15 years! Plug cables after 10 years. Turbo leaked after 20 years. I'm thinking of using my VR4 full time if this 3008 kaput again. Cannot tahan the repairs and downtime.

Power delivery from the 1.6L engine is not amazing. Modding is not an option because it will be unreliable too.
