2020 Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech EAT8 Active | sgCarMart Reviews 

Brilliant review..all I needed to know ...many thanks from london..

For those who have had bad experience with Peugeot cars previously, it's pretty true for the previous generations. The new generations using the Puretech engines have vast improvement in their build quality compared to the previous generations. BTW, this review missed out the boot floor board can be lowered to give more boot space and the tonneau cover can be kept below the boot floor board.

I liked your review very much!

I like SG mart car review. Short concise informative

It has been a while since you do the review. Miss your review. Like your comment in concluding the review on the dependability on French car 😊😊

Very good review … Well done

Love my 3008. You can click the ac at the top of the screen rather than clicking the lower button and then the screen. Glovebox, skip that with the massive centre space. You can also drop the boot floor to gain even more space

A great to the point review.

good video, any idea on when will the 2021 sorento will launch in SG?

There are mainly 2 groups of Singaporeans. The first group are risk aversed who will stick to the tried and tested Japanese. The second group will just go for the badge. If you Google or search on RU-vid the least reliable cars, you will find that they are dominated by all the big German car brands. You can ask any BMW owners and most will tell you the long list of issues they faced with their cars. But to them the badge conquers everything. French cars on the other hand are highly underrated. Their reliability has improved over the past ten years. And I am a proud owner of 4 French cars to date. I just retired my almost 10yrs old 207cc and got a 5008. And I belonged to the minority group who wants to drive something special and unique. Talk to any Peugeot owners, and they will tell you the special connections they have with their car. On one hand, I feel injustice for the French car brands while the popular German brands can get away so easily with their lousy reliability records. But on the other hand, I just hope the Singaporean mentality on cars stays as I want my favourite brand to stay uniquely for the group who can look beyond the badge.

I own the Diesel version of the 3008 1/5 Liters for more then 2 years. It is completely reliable and very pleasant to drive and use. So... don't let people spoil your fun with "once upon a time" stories. And, yes - thanks for the review.

Bloody awesome video intertaning funny guy first time seeing him as I want to buy this car he is very descriptive helpful information and just awesome because of him I'm definitely getting this car next week brand new thank you

I never knew they had this facelift. But the 2021 3008 is littttt

Loved your review 👍 when I saw this car the first time it made me think of the Evoque right away (without imagination even LOL). Get you completely on that. 👍 love the ass of this car 💪

I discovered your reviews, in particular the excellent reviews by Jon while researching French SUVs here. I have to say, I've seen a lot of car reviews and by far the ones by Jon are the best local auto reviews. Why? Because he injects knowledge and intelligence in a simple, fuss free way. No long beatings-around-the-bush, no vanity monologues nor superficial comments. Rather he focuses on things that matter to us, or to quote him, the proverbial elephant in the center of the room. In this video, the way he discusses the French "reliability" perception while pointing out Japanese parts used in the 3008 really nailed it for me as a potential French car buyer. Yes, resale value may be affected by the perceptions here of buyers, but from any reliability research online, you can tell Peugeots have come a long way. It's main hurdle here now is ingrained mindsets rather than it's product offering. Thank you Jon and keep the reviews coming. - D.

16:30 as an ex-Peugeot 3008 driver (previous gen), I have to admit that my family sold off the car within 2.5 years (2016-2018) as a result of the frequency of various components failing over time. From malfunctioning coolant temperature sensor to faulty BlueHDI pump to broken aircon compressor and more, it left us pretty disappointed with the car despite being a nice vehicle to drive in. 😅😅 And yes, as mentioned by the rest, very appalling resale value.

Does anyone know what the speakers are like. Does your music sound well and clear?

How about doing a group test together with the Citroën C5 Aircross?

If driving up north, is it advisable to get the 1.6T? Is the 1.2T alright for up North? Does it come with ambient light?

Excellent point mentioned, sharing car parts is so common now that it's hard to draw a line between specific brands. The stigma that comes from perhaps our parents carries over and affects our opinion as well. Personally owns and enjoys the 5008 but many would frown upon the mention of its brand, the resale value and reliability. I would say "try it to believe it"

I have this 3008 for 2.5years and its been good so far. Its using aisin transmission and the award winning engine. I was surprised with the power from this tiny engine, good fuel economy and cheap roadtax. Yes interface could be better, like the lack of ac button, and the 2 useless dedicated heated seat button, only the french could do this

So far so good kf all SG car mart review, but if can add in some maintenance and spare parts cost of the car will be perfect.

Nice video, I prefer the 1-man review format.

Can yall pls do a review of the Mercedes-Benz GLB!!

1.2 liter is small engine ? 1.5 blueHDI is much better right?

You're wrong Jonathan. I drove a Citroen for 5 yrs. Bought brand new. The nightmare/madness/hellish began after 2 yrs of ownership. -turbo cooling system broke 3x. -radiator overheated 3x. -engine gasket leaked 2x. -engine misfiring every year. -air con compressor broke 2x. -water pump changed 3x. -interior plastics literally melted. -wiper motor broke. -leather seats tearing apart after just 1 yr -passenger seat belt loosen for no reason. -climate control unusable after a year. -sensors and wiring goes crazy as they wish. -the lists goes on.it will take me a day to fill it up. This is from an actual perspective from a real owner. You might be wondering why I did not get rid of it earlier. Market price for french cars are worst than a stale pizza. The only thing that worked perfectly was the Aisin 6 speed gearbox which Toyota partly owns.(the only reason that it lasts) Everything else crumbles and wither like a dry leaf. No matter how much tender and love you shower it. I rest my case.

Could we get other prop like wheelchair perhaps!

How about the 5008 model?

I had drove a Peugeot small van previously for about1.5 years. The van problems included back door handles that broken time and again, the power window broke down, air-conditioning issue and fan belt issues. This had caused me to doubt the quality of Peugeot cars/good vehicles.

It was mentioned before that these conti cars were built meant for a chiller n dry climate. Spare parts are hard to get. I have a few friends giving up on Renault n Peugeot because of its close proximity of going for workshop repairs (OEM ones). Each time for a time of 4 to 6 weeks. After driving for 2 years, they hold their hands up. One Changed to a subaru forrestor and then it's happy days. Well, I have seen too many bad experiences by friends I know of. hence I am too afraid to try. So far, not seen a successful friend who drives a great French car for more than 5 years and have no complaints.

Strange. The 2021 version with new day running lights is already out for a while and autofrance is still selling this old version?

can anyone tell the different between this 2020 vs 2017 model? is it only EAT6 vs EAT8? i dont see where is the facelift

If u squint hard enough, the new latest Honda Jazz/Hit looks like a Mini Cooper from the front. Right? Agree? 😅😜

Why car reviewers don’t mentioned about road noise level?

Just bought Mazda cx5 most reliable and trustworthy

People living in 3008 seeing this car: 👁👄👁

Why do it now? There's a new one with a better face coming out. Is this just an attempt to clear the old stocks?

MEANWHILE IN MALAYSIA WE GOT 1.6 TURBO

Hi. I am from Mauritius. Thanks for the excellent review of the Peugeot 3008. I am going to buy one shortly. The Mauritian feeling about French cars is the same as that of Singapoureans, i.e. French cars are not reliable though you nearly do not have any franch cars breaking down ont he road. I have a BMW 320i, Yr 2014 and must say that this car is not at all made for tropical countries. Anyway, looking forward for my, sorry, my wife's new Peugeot 3008.

Nice presentation.....but correct me if I am wrong....is there such a word as "squinted" ?.... even in past tense, the correct word is still "squint"... if singlish is ok lah....... hahaha ...thks for the review!!

I have the GT LINE PREMIUM 1.2 Eat8 and im loving it so far, it only costs £35000 in UK which is about 65000 dollars In Malaysian dollars

I like your review, such as logical and practical opinions. But multiple French car owners have told me never to get those. As with their luxury stuff, they're usually overpriced. I might be paying for their design though as I agree the interior you're sitting at, imagining the view you get looking at the dash, I know it will definitely be a looker (by the way the buttons look good too). Well, driving a British car, I can't say it is reliable too (1 year replace 1 part on average), but hearing the nightmares of FR car, I think UK cars generally fare a little better (Just don't compare it to the Range Rover, which is disastrous too)

No cd player??

*don't think of Uncle Roger, don't think of Uncle Roger, don't think of Uncle Roger goddammit haiyaaaa

y both 2008 and 3008 looking so small beside u haha

French cars exist for one reason: for you to do charitable work. After suffering for a few years like my neighbour has with his 2018 3008 (the current model, not the old one like the fanboys will insist), you can sell them off at low, low prices and switch over to Japanese simplicity or true German luxury, hopefully much the wiser. If you're buying a French car second hand, don't make the same mistake many did. Just look at something else.

Seat Ateca pls Your Highness

previously owned a Peugeot RCZ. the reliability in French car is really bad..... its a very looker car however wear and tear is unimaginable. from the years of owning one my observation is french car just doesnt suit our sg climate!

French cars have had a bad history. Have had 2 Renaults before personally and have had many issues both electrical and mechanical. Those cars are not acclimatized to our weather. Parts are expensive and not always available due to lack of demand. Frightful deprecation due to "cold door" syndrome. Difficult to sell as a used car.

The main point is that if u squint hard enough, everything will be ok for this car? 😜🙊

I would say the Mazda CX-5 looks better than this and it’s way more reliable than any French car.

Got the impression of Peugeot bad reliability from car workshop and mechanics... will have to admit that was many years ago, don't know if Peugeot improved... driving a Qashqai now and yes cos its part Renault reliability is not as solid as Toyota or Honda... many issues if u check out the forum, personally experience a couple of them...

Won’t buy because no physical knob for aircon!!! Will car makers please don’t change the formula that just works😂 can’t imagine trying to adjust the aircon while driving

would buy a german rather than france car

Still no auto hold

Underpowered, genting run will be struggling
