Hi. I plan to buy peugeot 5008 after decided between
this model and tiguan & passat (best handling)
I choose this because

- this facelift less problem than model below 2016
- naza already handover BAuto for after sales
- manufacture by world class global automaker stellantis
- spacious rear seat (i didnt like mpv) than tiguan and mazda
- i cockpit
- handling not bad
- less problem than tiguan? Maybe..
- front grill better than previous
- spacious at the boot
- price below RM180k

How about your opinion about this model? Please help me
Thank you

Peugeot quality suspect,
Spare parts hard to get. (Never rely on Berjaya to carry stock. )
Low resale value.
Outside mechanics are not able to repair it.

Is it this current model 2021
Still facing all those issue except RV?
Although stellantis handle manufacture and Bauto
handle after sale?
Happy to hear your thought

LOL. First you dreamed of Peugeot, then the moment someone comes in and say Buy a used Harrier from a person which never owned a Peugeot, you got persuaded into a JDM.

Why not you join this Peugeot 5008 group
https://facebook.com/groups/545990159083956/

And ask there rather than asking /K members which probably drive a Vavi only and say Peugeot sucks "because I heard it from my grandmother that this car i heard from my friend whom her friend which is 'whoever' relative, told her so, it sucks"
*
Yes i already posted on that group
Mostly racun me to buy. Huhu.
And i agreed certain from them
Now i need third and forth opinions
From others about this model

yeah used Harrier also better than pigot laugh.gif
New Harrier is on the TNGA platform already, ride and handling is top quality.
No need to say RV and maintenance Harrier wins hand down over 5008 already.

Budget 180k below can consider Mazda CX-8, build quality and ride handling better.

Don't believe, put up survey - Harrier vs CX-8 vs 5008 see which one get more votes ?
*
Harrier is too boring design inside and outside
For old model
New facelift much better design but price over my budget
Maybe reconsider mazda cx8 also
What the obvious different
between midplus and highspec petrol 2.5?

Less problems indeed but the turbo or gearbox will fail within 5-6 years. My turbo already replaced outside twice!

Also, the cat converter will fail after 5 years. Mine failed a long time ago and now every now and then the CE light will pop up. Just pump RON 97-100 then ok. If RON 95, this light will remain on for days and weeks.

As for the gearbox, mine already 9 years old and started to have some slip at higher gears.

Peugeot, buy at own risk. Engineered to fail!

Great respond from you
You buy this model at what year?

New Peugeots are fine. Its just the past bad reputation has ruined it for many.

Don't get the 5008 if you expect to fill with 7 people though. The 3rd row seats are useless

The cx8 (especially 6 seater version) are much roomier and comfier
*
I like the rear seat, spacious
Didnt expect much for third row
But still bad review for this new version

Mine is a 2012, Peugeot 3008. Same engine as the 5008. Already claimed the extended warranty so the parts will make same as the current models.

Naza replaced 8 parts on mine. At the moment, it is reliable for daily use. But remember, Peugeot cars love nagging at the drivers with every problems like Engine Faults, Depollution Error, Economy Mode Active and more. If u not familiar, it can be daunting and sometimes panic.

The European models dumped this shitty EP6 for the latest one. Even BMW also dumped this trash from all their models. The rest of the world got this old crappy engine.

Why I kept mine? Because cannot sell it. Car dealers lowball offers from 10-13K. Even direct buyers also lowball 16-17K.

Peugeot is NOT designed for hot climates like MY. For example, the AC will prioritize Hot first before Cold. Imagine starting the car and need to wait until the engine temp reached 90C then only the compressor kicks in. U probably die from the heat first.

The rubberised plastics started to melt on mine especially the power window switches. It will be sticky and attracts lots of dirt and dust.

Creaks and squeaks from the centre console. Very annoying on bumpy roads. Heck, my 2004 Savvy don't even have this issue.

Peugeot use same engine over 12 years?
Heard many bad service from naza + incompetent model
Model from french
Even with production stelista still cant give the reliable engine + good material suitable with our climate?
Thank you sharing your HONEST & REAL EXPERIENCE
Really help me to decide for my future car

Buying a Peugeot is like marrying a good woman in an everlasting marriage. After several years, she will nag nonstop and give u unnecessary stress. If given a choice, I would have opt for something else.

The new version still uses the same crappy EP6 Prince engine. No matter what refinements or software updates, the engine itself is still crap. Now dumped by BMW and even Peugeot themselves from all European models.

You really help me to make a better decision
A lot of new input from you
So at French market didnt use rubbish ep6 engine?

Mazda CX8 should be a good alternative.
Mazda is well known for its handling..
At least I see more older Mazda on the road than the older Peugeot

Yes this is another great option
But the price quite high
Difficult to choose which variant that suitable for my family
