Just got this car in 1. 5 131hp GT automatic pearlescent white configuration for 37k - (with all of the optionals. Except the 19inches rims and the ugliest leather seats. Git the 18inches Los Angeles rims that look AMAZING.
Going from an opel zafira (2012) to this. i gotta say i now feel like a badass. This car is beatiful. Its perfect because i really need all the space in the back for work.
I only tried it for a few minutes but the engine feels as good as the zafira's 2. 0 165hp engine somehow. But the gears feel way better. Its also sooo much more comfortable. I mean it feels like it was made for me. Luckily i didnt get the panoramic roof cuz im 1. 86m tall and i saw that with the panoramic roof you dont have any headspace.
Im getting it next monday/tuesday, keys in hand. It was their only available model and with the shitshow we are now in, ordering a new one i heard might take even more than 6 months.
I might come back later to review the car. First impressions? I LOVE IT. Its definetly not my personal car, the alfa romeo mito lol. Im just scared it might be too big and bulky. I needed a big car with lots of space, especially the trunk, that can reliably, comfortably and quietly drive for. around 700km per week. But it cant be a huge and pricey SUV cuz i need to park it easily cuz i need to jump from parking spot to parking spot in pretty tight roads.
Wee were going for a bmw x3 or a tiguan but the tiguan was way too small.
Might get the BMW x3 later?
I dont know if we made the right choice here. a bmw x3 150hp for 50k - vs 5008 130hp for 37k -. any car enthusiasts can vouch for my choice between the 2? Did i do the right thing?
Lets say that money wasnt an issue but saving 13k - is. -important- lol.

Whilst I am in no hurry to change my 2017 Pajero, I will likely need to do so in the next few years and have started to actively look for a suitable replacement. As a professional cameraman, I need to carry a lot of heavy production equipment for certain shoots and the flat foor of the extended luggage space in the Pajero makes loading and unloading easy as well as efficient. This Peugeot looked promising. A diesel engine, comparatively good extended luggage compartment with a 'nursery slope rating' on the folded second row of seats otherwise known as the in-car ski-slope. The deal breaker was that it was not 4WD/AWD. I am in the Japanese market and also therefore climate and need a vehicle that can take me anywhere including snow country, rough forestry roads as well as locations in urban areas. I also appreciate a vehicle that is comfortable for long distance driving and have already this year driven the one way roughly 783km (486. 53miles) from Tokyo to Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture followed by two days hard filming and return to Tokyo and this is one of the shorter long distance routes that I have done for work. The car doubles as my personal vehicle so buying something specific for my work like a Hiace Van is not an option. The Land Rover Defender is a favourite, but the Japan lineup only includes the premium gasoline engine, which is of course the most expensive. I really wish they'd add the diesel engine to the lineup. The 90 looked good, but it has a 'black-run ski slope rating' as far as I can see when the back seats are folded. well, almost folded down.

Mat, I really enjoy your reviews - you crack me up. However, why are you trying to put your elbow in your cup? I think you're nitpicking a problem that doesn't actually exist? If you have the manual gearbox (I do, the placement of the cupholders isn't great for larger travel mugs, (which you've mentioned before) but when you're reviewing the automatic, it just isn't an issue and you would never put your elbows out in front of you in the way you demonstrated - what's occurring there fella?

If the steering wheel is blocking the dials, you are not sitting correctly, Mat. Since the diameter of the steering wheel is so small, you would be sitting too low down in relation to the steering wheel with your arms. You'd have to lift your arms to reach up for the steering wheel. If your arms grip the wheel in a natural/proper angle from your body, you would easily see above the steering wheel; regardless of how tall you are, or whether you prefer to sit low or high in the cockpit.

-Mat Watson Cars Hy Matt! What do you think about the middle row seat recline angle between this the c4 grand spacetourer and Renault Espace 2015-? I can't decide between thes cars upon this factor? Which car from these is the most comfortable in the back row on extra long ditance journeys? Thanks in advance!

This rig does NOT deserve fake vents and exhaust! After all the fantastic design work inside and out and they muck it up with fakes! Designers: IT. MAKES. IT. LOOK. CHEAP! Nice piece, though (and really like that red leather interior! Thanks Matt. Feel badly you couldn't even use your stick!

I bought the 2018 model, which is almost identical except for the front grill. There's a reason you see so many of these on the road, it's an excellent, good looking family car. Granted I don't know how much the competition has improved, but I'd buy another 5008 in a heartbeat.

Every Peugeot review says the same thing about the dash visibility. But. You're meant to look through the wheel, not over it, certainly in the previous generation of cars. Different to other manufacturers, but unless you're 7 foot or 4 foot tall it's not likely to be a problem.

we rented a 5008 and drove from northern germany to austria. Had a massive disc herniation and couldnt drive that long with our c-class. With this car it was really comfy, despite the standard seats. Boot is enormous. Build quality was okayish, but hey it was a rental car.

As a former Peugeot 5008 driver I must add to the -Hate--list: The RPM dial shows the RPM's from right (0 rpm) to left (7000 rpm. Never seen that on any car. Was really annoying and bothered me (mildly) every time I drove the car. Check still at minute 3: 21.
