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.

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.  mega_shok.gif

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.

Can any owner share your experience regarding this car reliability and maintenance cost after 1 year and the half? Like breakdown and many issue during this period... They currently have the 5+3+1 promotion and it looks tempting. XD Thanks

Pug owners are sharing their experience on this thread so did you read? What else do you want? If you want to take into account only good news I'm sure you can find some. Then go and buy your Pug and regret later.
