None of the above.


I'll go for the new Jazz Hybrid or Mazda 2.

308T, 3008, 5008 and RCZ plenty of reliability issues.

EP6 also award winning but reliability is zero.

Dunno how much Peugeot paid these people to win the awards. Engine design is flawed.

single woman... not sure how this narrow things down tho..

It does help narrow some things down. If you're always traveling alone and don't really fetch people, then the cramped rear seats of the Mazda 2 and Ford Fiesta won't really matter. I bought the Mazda 2 coz I don't really fetch people and I wanted a driver's focused car.

For people with family, the Jazz would be a more practical hatchback that's comfortable.

Mazda2

Hmm..I do sometimes fetch my parents out la.. Maybe it's best for me to drop a visit to the showroom and do a test drive if I really wanna get a new car.....

What happened to the existing one?

Helo Peugeot Owners !!!

I`ve read negative comments with regards to Peugeot 308 THP`s.
As an "old timer", n hav been using range of conti cars including Ford, Peugeots & Renaults, thus, so far no major turbo related problems.

Turbo cars needs more routine service as compared to "normal aspirated" engine cars, even though in service booklets says either wise. This is because turbo engines genetates more heat than "normal aspirated engines" so much so results in "thinning" of engine oil n engine wear. Thus, the reason of more regular servicing than "normal aspirated engines", no matter what brand the car is.

When this servicing is being neglected or delayed, will result in turbo issues.
Hope this wil quell negative thinking about Peugeot or Renault cars.

Like , some of the folks here mentioned. It does matter , like if you are a family woman , probably you need a comfortable backseats and few others and not to mention 6 airbags and all around safety features !

Final recommendation - go test out the Fiesta or the 208 - see which one you like the most

I let you know one thing . Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost had a recall but SDAC ford malaysia didnt announce it to cause panic since we people are quite sensitive in this kind of media

The powershift transmission is the downfall. If you read the news Australia only just did it last month and a lot big companies SUED them.

If you can confirm that the current selling of 1.0 ecoboost models are equipped with the updated powershift then go for it otherwise puretech 208 is my choice

Considering other factors like

SC
RV
Reliability
Cost of maintain
Branding
Etc

I think Honda Jazz is a better choice, sorry to say (im a practical person)

nothing happened yet... *touch wood*

Safety is also my concern la..But my current car, a Myvi doesn't give me much power...
On a second thought, why do I need such high power car? maybe just stick with my car until it has major problems...

I prefer cleaner emission or safety. Chances are you don't need power , you need a safer car. Myvi does not even come with Stability Control which is a must-have and some myvi don't even come with ABS as standard.

To me these are very important safety features

Mine comes with ABS...but you're right, Myvi has no stability control. Now I wonder what difference does it make?
I haven't driven much cars, but most higher priced cars that I drove before I felt they were better than Myvi. So I came to believe that any higher priced car ARE better, without knowing exactly what functions they offer.

Alternatively, you can wait for the new Volkswagen Polo with its new engine which is already launched and sold in many countries. The interior looks amazing.

New Fiesta Ecoboost also launched outside. When is it coming to Malaysia?

people ask to stay away from Peugeot 208 but give vague reasons....

i am contemplating a used peugeot 208 (maybe the one that is still under warranty).

i think customer service can be improved over time but design/quality fault will stay with the car forever, if not almost forever.

can an actual owner provide feedback in terms of how reliable is this car? Looking at buying 2015 Peugeot 208 to keep at home..'family car' if family member want to go city grab something, do groceries, go pasar etc.. in style

second hand Peugeot are cheap for a reason
