Peugeot has thrown away the old EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox and replaced it with a new EAT8 eight-speed auto in the 3008. Is it an improvement?

I ve had the 3008 as an interim solution for about half a year - and was almost crying when I had to return it. Such a fine car! Such a beautiful car! And so good to drive. Well... in MOST situations. Had the 130 PS 1,2l Petrol. A realy nice engine, and what I would never have expected: Absolutely suficcient even on the motorway. Runs easily 180 to 190 km/h without much effort.

i guess it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@g00dfeeling]

3008 is stunning. Nobel prize for design team.

[@Mikael2650]

I just recently got the 308 SW 120 hp diesel, and my god I have been blind. They make such good cars These days, that an VW seems completely overpriced. 3008 and 508 are the best looking cars in the segment, they are cheep and feels well built ..

Peugeot Citroen are really on a roll love the new design confidence.

[@aseesanand2641]

Really nice review!

[@basecamper7504]

Really looking forward to the new 208. Peugeot have leapt forward in their design ethos and the build quality is so much better now.

[@daveking9397]

Had one of the 1st 3008 GT 2.0 auto when it came out and bought without seeing only tested on base model. Have to say I love the car, it is classy and does everything I like, only downside is Dab radio reception not great, after 2 years still finding new things on the car

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. Yes I would buy the Peugeot 3008 with the New EAT8 gearbox

[@anwartufail1888]

Exchanged my 2010 Nissan Qashqai for a 2010 Peugeot 3008 and noticed the vast difference. The 3008 is a much better car and I just love driving it.

Have the 1.6 petrol 6 speed auto gt line and its superb. Can't think of any negatives really. Bang for buck it's better priced and equipped as standard than pretty much all others in its class.

Still have to wait until July :( Ordered in January

@@MrOeli96 Peugeot totally screwed up my order and I still haven't gotten my car. Right now I'm in the process of switching reseller but it kinda ruined the experience for me.. Hope everything works out for you! Good luck

[@leemason666]

Great video. I have the Peugeot 3008 GT line petrol 1.6 THP 165bhp with the EAT 6 speed automatic gear box and been driving it for nearly 6 months now and it’s an absolute dream to drive and look forward to getting behind the wheel everyday. I can understand why this car got the European car of the year award. It’s the first SUV vehicles that I’ve ever had and also my first ever automatic. It’s nice that they have now upgraded the gearbox but won’t trade it in just for the sake of an extra 2 gears. This is a perfect long term vehicle which is comfortable and full of gadgets which is future ready. Great review 👍

[@fenderman21guitar]

My lease on my skoda superb is up next year im really hoping they announce a hybrid for 2020 in the 3008

[@ssgeek4515]

Watched Purley on the 6 Vs 8 gear review. The majority of autos when loaded up jerk a bit up hills. The difference will be less revs in top gear but I suspect the gear ratios are closer together so 6 the in eat 6 will likely be 7 the in eat8

[@pauldarby8398]

Good, informative review, we have just test driven the new auto petrol & I was quite surprised by how smooth it was as I was expecting a bit of jerkiness in change of gears, but I was only going on reviews from the 6 speed version. We have opted for the 1.6 petrol over the 1.2, but I must say even the 1.2 still has a bit of poke to it, so we can't wait till we get our's though we opted for the Allure over the GT Line, but for me personally I just think the Allure offers better value for money, wish I had put it in Sport Mode just to see any noticeable difference.

[@falconaim5701]

would love to see some focus on more hybrids and full electric vehicles ...keep up the good work

[@davidrus]

"Peugeot has put a lot of time and effort into developing this new EAT8 transmission...." - Are you serious ?? This is a Aisin AW F8FXX japanese transmission. It's code is AF50-8 for Opel/Vauxhall application, TG-81SC for Volvo application, AWF8F45 for Cadillac application, and AQ450 for VAG application. Please, don't talk bulshit....

[@westleyo5]

I have the 6 speed auto 1.6 Hdi 2017Allure really love this car

[@newmotoring]

One of the early ones. Good car.

[@lisawills9716]

We have one of these Peugeots - we love it but have a couple of little issues. The radio is hopeless in staying on channel on FM as we can’t get DAB in our area. Also when breaking and parking the gearbox jumps and you have to be careful you don’t hit the car in front, anyone know why please?

[@adamnowak3279]

it would be great to see how fast the transmission reacts to paddles. Because in most traditional auto gearboxes they are useless. You press them and wait until the gear changes. ZF8 is the only exception.

[@Bunce1949]

I think this car is number 1 on my shortlist. Despite diesel being demonised, I need that power and torque to tow a caravan, electric cars are light years away from making good towing vehicles, so goodness knows what is going to happen to the leisure industry when petrol and diesel cars are banned? The 3008 is the most attractive car in its sector and makes other similar vehicles look as dull as dishwater. Well done Peugeot, another customer will be coming your way soon.

[@no-oneman.4140]

You cannot have the 1.2 petrol with the auto box in the GT Line Premium model. Does anyone know why ????

[@jchalmes]

Difficult (?) question : How does the EAT8 compare to current Ford's Powershift? Thanks in advance.

[@Waechter_im_All]

the difference is: it doesn't break

[@andreasjonsson8075]

😂

[@stephanrands1884]

Hi also love the interior/exterior of the 3008, question though, there was brief MENTION the PADDLE SHIFTERS in the video implying they made little addition to SPORTS, your thoughts on THE actual PERFORMANCE & EASE OF USE of these, I know many ppl would use just for SPORTS driving and/or TOWING (apparently): Paddle Gears: Q1. Simple as selecting M (Manual in front of Eat8)? Presumably as many GEARS as the Auto ie, EAT6 or EAT8, right. Obviously/of course: LEFT PADDLE = GEAR DOWN REAR PADDLE = GEAR UP Q2. GEAR INDICATOR on the iCOCKPIT? Q3. GEAR UP INDICATOR on the iCOCKPIT ? This was available on earlier models of the 3008. CHEERS

[@tonyyoung3634]

I have a new 308sw with 130 diesel and eat8 when it changes gear I get a high pitch whistle and from 4th into 5th I get a dragging feeling,I'm told this is normal !!! has anyone else had this problem,maybe it's time to try Renault.

[@bridiemegan]

I've had the 2.0 gt for almost 2 years mostly happy but for me to have another one the infotainment system is rubbish and the single clutch 6 speed gearbox and i believe that the 8 speed is the same is also rubbish so unless these are changed i will be looking elsewhere.

[@lottehjgaardnormannstourup4211]

I am interested in electric cars. Do you know the plans for electrifing 3008?

[@AdrianBranchSEO]

The old gearbox was appalling. It had a bad launch lag when warm, and when cold for the first minute or two it literally crawled out of junctions. Dangerous. I hope the EAT8 is better.

[@georgegray431]

I have a 3008 GT Line 1.2 turbo petrol best car on the road I have driven .

[@derekclark7545]

The petrol 1.6 T is much better than the Diesel 2.0 T, it's faster, its in-gear performance and pick-up is better, and as the engine is lighter the car responds better when turning and it's smooth and silky to drive. Its performance is the same as the old 205 1.9GTI a cult classic if ever there was one. It may do less mileage on fuel but the driving experience is just much better. If you get it with the traction control it will also go where no other std two wheel drive will go in the snow and that's saying something for a auto front wheel drive car.

[@michaelflinn7784]

Can I ask why are you still using miles and not kilometres?

[@newbeginnings8566]

Well it's a UK based review so he'll speak in imperial measures. I like km better but he is reviewing to his market audience.

[@roblex63]

Can't understand the european's love of the manual gearbox... as technology moves on the heart of the cars are stuck in the early 20th century....

[@MY-mp6bq]

I understand your point. I had a manual bmw f30 it was amazing. Switched to a golf 7 gtd with dsg. Driving automatic is amazing and more comfort. BUT still.. some days i could use a manual. They are work horses, abuse them all you want and its fine. When you are angry, and in a hurry: manual all day

[@dufonrafal]

"I let someone who's 70 do that" , setting an example right here xD

[@ShillingfordEmpire]

Very nice car! Peugeot have really upped their game recently. I wanna know though what's the reliability like? I know Peugeot have a reputation for failing electronics in the past. Has that improved? Thanks!

[@lumenwolf5523]

They look good but still like the look Skoda Karoq more. Which one do you prefer out of the 2?

[@mickdaly6537]

Problem with the skoda is it looks like the seat ateca and vw tiguan very hard tell diffrence until right next to them,3008/5008 still have that unmistakable look

[@paulcolmer9046]

I have a Tiguan SEL that's on the same MQB platform as the Karoq. In a year I have done 20, 000 miles and been so comfortable and enjoyed driving it. Not something I did with 2 weeks of driving a 3008. Plus 4 motion has kept me going in the recent heavy snow. The 3008 is a great car for the money but theres a reason the VAG cars cost more.

[@lumenwolf5523]

Paul Colmer Thanks for that, I think the Peugeot looks nice but so does the Skoda and no doubt will wear better with their build quality.

[@tonyb1223]

Juat gone from a 2017 3008 2ltr BlueHDi GT Line Manual to a 2019 3008 GT, the auto is super smooth and its a proper auto, not a dsg box, on the road the car is exellent, i really dont know why you would waste your money on a VAG group car when this offers so much more, there is a reason the 3008 won car of the year back in 2017 and an improved engine and gearbox line up helps keep it ahead of the rest.

[@lumenwolf5523]

Tony B Thanks for that, I thought that only a DSG was available in these and not a traditional automatic?

[@fivish]

Its good they stuck with the torque converter and not gone automated manual which is always a bad idea. However, the official MPG is ludicrous as always and 35mpg is more like it. £30,000 for a French car is stupid. It will fall apart as soon as its out of warranty.

[@davidharvey4059]

Our 3008 is coming up 5 and it's tight as a drum, feels like a new car

it really looks a wonderful car.2 points tough.first,why do the yanks knock this car so much?in europe its up there with the best.in america they dont think much of it.Had a bit of an argument with an american reviewer of this car.Second,do you feel stopping diesel is a good idea?I love diesels and i think they are a lot cleaner now.do you think there is no saving them?

[@evilsmurf2k8]

The americans don't think much of this car because they can't have it as it's not for sale over there.

No mention of if it's a torque converter type or duel clutch type transmission hmmmm not informitive enough.

Maybe another time. They work the same way almost all other paddles work. Right is up, left is down. Simples.

[@sirgalahad777]

[@kbling2946]

It’s a fantastic looking car but it has a few shortcomings that really let it down. The lack of all wheel drive. The passenger seat is a poverty pack manually operated job, even on the top of the line model. Lastly, the centre screen resolution. I mean seriously, is it 2002 again? Extremely nasty in comparison to almost every other vehicle in the market.

[@dkpirie]

People say this is a great review, I disagree, it was rubbish. In all your videos you constantly show the same clip of the car driving on a road 2 or 3 times over and you do this with 2, 3 or 4 clips, it's so repetitive and boring. You also seem unable to join up words to make a sentence, like...a......child,.......you .....say......one.......word......at....a.....time. Then we get a big, grown up ......sentence.... of......5 .....words. Get a new presenter NOW.
