Hi fellow /k/ members,

Wanna get SUV to try out and use for city driving/tapau food adventures. (Mainly for gf to drive)

It seems both CX-30 (High spec) and 2008 is roughly the same price around RM135,000


But CX-30 got 160HP whereas 2008 only has 130HP but with high torque.


fully specced CX-30 is out of the budget of course. and 3008 is also too out of the budget..

in terms of maintenance, and RV, it is not a worrying factor.

However, wanna ask in terms of driving dynamics and practicality, i saw 2008 a bit small leh like a buffed up premium myvi.. but the design wins the boring CX-30 anyday. CX-30 is bigger and more spacious like C-segment SUV d. and of course japs reliability.

So which?

Top up sikit buy Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

out of the picture la bang, cross a bit uncle eh..

stopped reading at peugeot

cx30 come with 5 years free service and warranty.
Peugeot my friend complain gao gao on the after sales.

Amoi drive cx30 more hnnnggg can get more aboi.. owai...

is it really that bad? many malaysian youtubers scolding malaysian mentality saying back then peugeot and now peugeot is different

cx-30 really that hnng? i haven go see the car in real life. checking pics out only.


Peugeot also offering 5 years warranty and free service.

Corolla Cross GR. HR-V.

I thought so too 6 years ago.

Now I've changed my mind. Pijit memang shitty

It is Year 2023, both model also by Bermaz. You get same warranty period and free service.

But, it is still a Peugeot. Reliability will always be a question mark.

Both Mazada and Pidgeotto are under the same company i.e. Bermaz
So, expect the same.

Which model got Adas?
Buy the one with adas

Support TS to be the guinea pig to test out Peugoet's reliability under Bermaz

So when people complain about peugeot’s after sales service, means mazda also affected? means both also shitty?

what’s adas? Autonomous driving assistance?

if you bring in resale value to the picture, the mazda probably has a lower cost of ownership.

if you dont give a f about it then just get whichever that your gf likes

Mazada after sales is a bit okay. they been with Bermaz long time.
Pidgeotto just come under Bermaz, service probably not at the desired level yet.

but ayam tatau, ayam virgin drive proton only

You mean you haven't test drive both? Get behind the wheel then compare. Specs on paper don't mean much.

Not really a big issue in terms of RV, but big issue for 1st 5 years of ownership.


Because if I bring to 3rd party workshop (which always get the job done and fixed), the warranty will be voided right? Hence 1st 5 years afraid need put in workshop 1-2 months when parts breakdown/faulty and need to wait for parts to arrive. which is stupid.

Audi no SUV ka? A used Q5?

Q3

my pijot first 5 year ok 1

issue only bubble up after 5

In terms of global sales,

Pijot 2008> Matsuda CX-30.

And pijot is not even in the US market.

Don’t care what the youtubers say. Not like they are paying for your car loan and maintenance costs anyway.

Only consider peugeot if you have no plan to sell the car, because the resell value is for the lack of a better word, crap.

Pijot 3008?

are you a peugot fan?

Bro that Rimau u wan resell value like shit sia. Better for Mazda.

CX 30 is not a C segment SUV. it is rated as B segment
proper C segment from Mazda is CX5

in this range, can consider X50, HRV too. all in same category

I pijot fanboy also wont get 2008. Not because unreliable but too kosong

Interior centre cabin light also don't have, adaptive cruise control dont have, centre screen too small, engine lacking horsepower.

Nowadays any car above 100k dont have adaptive cruise control, 360 camera is a no no

Just go for X50

508 @ 2013

you dont realise P less on the road

CX-30 , in term of design & reliability , after sales.

although mazda resale value not high , but better than pijot 10 street.

Since you are looking to look different, go Hyundai Kona.

of course go for the pug 3 pot puretech. u dun need a 2L for city driving

i think lots of pipu choose CX30 spec without ACC, i dont understand why ppl dont need ACC now

but but X50 gives more headache than pijot for after sales, hard to claim

So many x50 on the road already.. parts shouldn't be an issue anymore. Even battery issue they say now just claim new one no questions asked

if anyone asks how good Pug is... we already know he is a fool

x70

I know ppl who bought the hatch back pugs gladly sell at massive loss to get rid of the car...

buyer happy je as pug fan, waiting for such bargain ...
he can go beg his mechanic to fix the car if got problem

Now that u mentioned, 2008 seems a bit too kosong for 135k

also, what about newer gens pug’s reliability?

macam audi?

This post has been edited by Bendan[520]: Apr 3 2023, 04:57 PM

Can let me try other brands mou

the 1.2 puretech in europe/uk got problem the welt timing belt will disintegrate and block the oil pump and may need to overhaul the engine, but then again thats because over there they set service to be every 15k miles..in Malaysia the service interval is 15k kilometer shouldnt be a problem

but yes rm135k too much for a kosong spec.

I booked 2008 few mths back and when I want to trade in my Mazda 3 to second hand shop, they advise not to buy 2008 as the car does not have any value at all in Malaysia. Malaysia mindset towards French car is still not acceptable. End up I booked CX-30 as i experience before on the after sales service and its good

CX30, dont take red color, take those dark color, so the side plastic not so obvious.
Mazda warranty good, just that you have to wait. I think peugeot wait lagi long.

Mostly importantly, have you test driven both? What's your own opinion?

I've recently driven a 2008 GT in Europe, it's suposingly the top spec, i will describe it as a much more refined Ativa. The engine still a jerky at stop go, and low speed, the auto start stop is absolutely annoying, totally the same as Ativa's. The drive is a lot nicer and firm compared to Ativa, power wise similar. I'm not sure why you care so much about horsepower, at sub 180k RM range, all the car kinda drive and accelerate similarly regardless of HP la, if it's not a sub 5 second to 100km/h car, then no point la. Normally you drive on normal roads, in traffic jam, no much diff. Even if you drive highway, unless you the stupid lala zhai type of drivers, most of the time you will be so overly concerned over fuel comsumption that you still accelerate like old aunties.

The noise isolation amazing, the speakers amazing, BUT, big BUT, this is GT spec in Europe. Malaysia spec confirm potong this potong that, at least ACC is not available on Malaysia's model.

I've not tried CX30, the look of that cheap ugly plastic cladding around the car exterior is just too disgusting for me to even go for a test drive. Look is very personal la, Peugeot's car looks handsome, I will look at one on the road and say, wa, looks cool leh. CX30 to me is wa... my eyes!

Given this budget, why not consider cars like Cross, XV, HRV? 2008 is a very small car, like a Ativa again, CX30 from the look of it also smaller than Cross, XV, HRV. Same price, bigger is better, no?

If the choice is die die between 2008 and CX30, then obvious answer is CX30 la. Ugly but still kinda reputable. Peugeot brand in MY still need time to prove themselve, will take at least 5-8 years of owners with the new peugeot to better tell the story la. I kinda like peugeot after driving it 4 days over 500km in Europe, nice and fun car, the icockpit is freaking amazing, the design in and out is beautiful. But i personal wont buy any peugeot in MY unless it's proven much more reliable, i dont wanna be the tester. But if i'm living and working in france, and i need a cheap fun car, peugeot is probably high on my list, over there, 70% of the cars on road is either Citroen or Peugeot.

Malaysians are always slow to adopt new technology, it's nth new. Also they probably tried the lousiest ACC like those on the Myvi, then claim that they are expert already, ACC sucks! For those that already have exp with a decent / good ACC, it probably already changed their driving habit already. I cannot imagine myself changing to a non ACC car after used to one.

how is the cx-30? i try to force myself to like the design, but seriously wanna cannot like it, too many on the road d, starting to get bored.


I scare regret only after buying, park the car and walk away without looking back...

my audi until now, when I park car and walk away, I still look back..

There’s truth to what you say, actually I’m a sucker for looks and design for exterior and interiors of cars.

Yes the CX-30 is practical, reputable brand no headache but it looks mediocre at best. Peugeot is so handsome, but not well perceived in Malaysia, maybe will give me headache in the future.


Torn between stability and recklessness

U need to drive it to understand the real difference.
Car value dun base on paper specs only

Ok la.. why don't you see if possible to rent both for few days each to decide... for me I'd go with CX30 also... reality..

Corolla cross is much better than these two. And i owned a cx30

Interesting. Boleh share your thoughts why?

CX30 come with free 5 years periodic service.

Peugot comes with free 5 years of workshop companionship. To extend the companionship just continue driving as you like.

Matsuda u see berterabur whole of malaysia and yet u don’t get sick of it when u see one

That is design done right


I wouldn’t touch a pug even give me 50 percent discount. U can ask previous pug owner if they willing to buy a new pug

Why not Honda HRV

Have u been to test drive for both car? If not don't test drive 2008

Why not, many of us in pijot owners club malaysia kept on changing to newer pug no issue

Test driven 2008. Driving experience was good for me lah. But the janky adjustment for Aircon need input at the head unit is bodoh. If got money ayam also go for 2008.
You buy car for the driving experience not for the resale value. Only poorfag look at 2nd hand value.

would like to know your thoughts of owning a cx-30, how is the driving? fuel efficient? maintenance? reliability?

but here in Malaysia, almost everyone buy for resale value.

This post has been edited by Bendan[520]: Apr 3 2023, 08:58 PM

My thoughts of the cx30 are as below

1. Fuel efficiency: really ke longkang. On average i was getting at 10 to 11km/L je (70:30 city/highway)

2. power: underpowered, slow acceleration, slow gear change. Really wonder why they put pedal shifter when the gear transmission is really bad.

3. Maintenance: this one no comments as mazda maintenance was free when i had the car for 2 years. Just that brake pad for all 4 tyres will cost u rm 1.4k ya, be prepared.

What really ticked me off is the damn creaking sound of the interior. Really not acceptable for a rm160k car which mazda used top quality materials but forgot to use quality screws kut. Service center also not knowledgeable enough to solve this issue. My myvi has less creaking sound then my cx30 for God’s sake.

I am telling u guys, u can get better cheaper SUV then this cx30 such as the Corolla Cross or even the new HRV.

Dont make the same mistake that i did, this cx 30 is all style but no substance. So much of their cost went into the interior that their engine, fuel efficiency, gearbox sucks, and even the interior also sucks btw 😂😂

All in all, they should have released the turbo version of the cx30 or at least with the skyactive x, not this weak ass skyactive g noob engine.

if you want resale value then the answer is HRV / Corolla Cross.

As an ex-owner of a modern Pug, I will not buy another unless its been pampered and driven sparingly for 2 years (to weed out the infant mortality issues) and then I will only drive it for the next 2 years and sell it off 1 year before warranty ends.

In between I will expect to receive a 50% discount from new and expect to lose another 50% off my own purchase price, if I'm lucky.

Or I can buy a 5 year old one with immaculate service record and for 75% off.

But yes, it handles well and it drives beautifully.

Sounds like I should save some money and just get the Proton x50 premium. Since both 2008 and CX-30 is not worth the bucks.

Buy 2nd hand Peugeot which is still under warranty so that the first owner takes the most losses and u dont need to suffer as much loss

I've no issues with the cx-30.

Brake pad changed for free under warranty at mazda for some screeching noise.

Easy to claim warranty from Bermaz, they don't argue back like Honda.

Creaking sound? Must be CKD right. Mazda need to buy CBU japan to get top notch quality. It really makes a difference, spend that extra money, it's worth it.

buying a car for a girlfriend is the stupidest thing i would hear today

He mentioned RM160k+, should be CBU

I noticed few owners of CBU models in the owner group also complaint about creaking sound in the interior

This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Apr 3 2023, 10:03 PM

CBU la bro 😂, 2020 Mazda cx30 all cbu, and cbu also already got creaking sound, imagine the current ckd.

The extra money is not worth at all

Yes, im not the only one actually 😓😓

Ini i no comments, never driven the x50 before 😝

I'm in the owners group for CX30 and Corolla Cross because was deciding between these 2 cars also

Honestly each have their own issues

No comments about HRV and X50 because I'm not interested in them but you already got a lot of stories about Honda CKekD and Proton spareparts issues

Buying cars is like lottery nowadays. The best thing you can ensure from your end is choose the brand with the best after sales service

This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Apr 3 2023, 10:10 PM

Actually true also la.

RV and maintenance no issue then go with Peugeot but also add to list of no issue is ability to have the car 30% (minimum) at the workshop during the tenure of ownership, terust me ex Pug 308T owner here!

You wait for the 408
Very nice

Outdated interior, hard plastic everywhere. Oh wai

Nah. Ayam went for 2nd hand cerato. Maybe you wait out for 2nd hand 2008 lol

I use company name buy the car, let her drive only, it serves as my second car, is there a problem?

Both under Bermaz, 5 years foc service. However here the cons under Bermaz. Need to pay compulsory accessories like junk carpet and junk tink about rm2k+, no ATF change requirements by Bermaz but same time capped the warranty to 100k km only, and last warranty is 5 years or 100k km whichever earlier. If it me who love long distance traveling, maybe i get 3 years warranty the most

Oh noo.. RV and maintenance no issue, big issue to me is park at workshop cannot fix, this is probably the biggest annoyance to me.

Even my audi maintenance high like fk also no need park at workshop 3 months, max 1 month due to engine overhaul.

HRV and Toyota Cross out of my list, I cannot swallow the sight of staring at apek interior everyday.

Ah, I stand corrected. Then Mazda quality going down the drain already. Used to have a CBU CX5, one of the best built car. No problem whatsoever.

Heard they increased the price somemore... wanna be premium line d?

I concur the same but on cx5 2.0 engine, my family car. It just struggling for power especially at Karak. FC, nothing splendid, just normal. But the GB just kinda slow, we expect it more since 6 gear automatic. But it just work with reluctant attitude most of the time.

For rattling here and there, try send it to Glenmarie body & paint, at least i have claimed new steering clock spring and rear tyre bearing when mileage less than 10k km.

Atf plan to perform at 40k km outside

my colleague has the current 3008. within one month of ownership, the dashboard had random 'xmas light'. had to send to the workshop 2x . that time still under naza

pretty sure i'm not adding value here. anyway. you're buying a new car, which will depreciate 20% right after it gets registered... just to please your girlfriend? if break up how? disregard my comment if you also like taking a stack of cash and lighting it on fire

ask her to get her own car.

Im owning mazda 3 2020

So far so good. No craking sound or what.

Fuel cant complain coz standard for c segment. 14km per liter for long distance

Power just so so.

Looks nice and no regret buying it.


Next might be volvo s60
