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 )

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.

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. 

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?

3008 owners, after park ur car , open the engine bay , feel the heat . With time this heat will cause the plastic parts to fail ....n there are lots of it . Prepare after warranty nightmare .....from ex owner

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.

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!!!".
