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.
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.
