CKD already present for 2008, 3008 and 5008.

As for good quality vehicles, other people could interpret in a few ways.
1. Quality on manufacturing?
2. Quality on assembly?

Which quality are you after?

I checked out the car few weeks ago during preview before the launch. This is the type of car where going by your heart you would 100% buy it (the design and specs are all on point), but your brain would keep telling you no due to all the stories about Peugeot's after sales and reliability

Never buy when new.

actually Peugeot changed hands twice after Naza - Bermaz and now Stellantis - i trust that under the parent company you should get better service standards and parts compared to distributorship.

i’ve previewed the car too a couple of weeks back and it is a damn good looking car. i am not too sure about the base model because you will lose alot of the bells and whistles - most importantly are the exterior aesthetics. but that 20” wheels are feisty!

Yo bro, since Stellantis is newly handling direct only so ever recently this year 2024,  many will not have experence to share and all thoughts are more like guesses.

But as the first gen 408 owner of 9 years until I let it off, let me tell you this.

Peugeot are wannabe , wannabe alternatives to Germans VW or even BMW and they fight with what they do best, designs that screams, watch me!

Are they are well engineered? No way like the Germans. In a lot of way they are fighting like Koreans which I have also owned one before: Beautiful in a quirky way, but like all beauties with oddities, they are temperamental ,a bit of a wild thing, tends to throw tandem now and then, if that is your thing,  go ahead.

If not your thing, best admire from far, like how we often do when looking at high fashion and maintenance chics.

This applies for conti. Zero RV after 3 years. Best not to buy new and buy used them.

Example. My 2012 Peugeot 3008 is now worth 6-7k only. If it kaputs, it would cheaper to scrap it and buy another. And being a Peugeot, it has the most amount of electronics and requires a lot of TLC.

Nissan?

Kick was on my wanting list too for a while, a long while actually but it never arrive despite whatever SA says back then , so my fear is only will it ever come?

Ford Focus can fetch better price because you can still go back to SD if you get into trouble, Peugeot, no more Naza, no more Berjaya, now it is only a Careline...

I sold my 9 year old Pug for less than 10k 2 years back
