I have a Peugeot 2008. I am not a fan of the shape of the 3008. However this is my second Peugeot after going back and forward between car brands I have gone back to Peugeot. I have always heard bad things about them however people always slate them but they are actually very reliable and well built cars. I’ve had 2 now and I can honestly say it’s the best car I have had. Bigger than expected, lots of space and amazing engines too and not to mention they are very nippy. I’ve had both the 1.2 puretech engine and I now have the diesel. However Just like any car keep on top of services, look after it and change the cambelt regular as you said it will last forever!

Think you get good and bad cars, whichever brand you have. I have a Toyota Aygo, cheap as chips, or so you would think. It's just failed it's test on a sub frame, only the third one that the garage has seen. I agree, I'm not a fan of the 3008 shape either, but my dad has one and says it's the best car he's owned.

My wife has owned one of these for around 5 years, Purchased it through my work. t's the 1.6HDI (pre Adblue system). Decent engine and we love it, very practical for our young family, excellent driving position, like you mentioned. The 1.2i engines are ok, early wetbelt, cambelt changes every 6 years are required as they can break up and reek havoc. Keep up the great work, I'm really enjoying your videos. I work at a Peugeot Dealer if you need any help or advice on it, Cheers Mark

Just part-exed my 2015 Ford Ecoboost because of the wet belt issue. It had done 96k, with no issues. When I asked local garages most refused as they needed ‘Specialist equipment’. The only quote I got was for £1400 to change it with other add-ins such as crank seals, new oil filter etc. decided it was time for a car change.

C1 looks great. High Peak rates the 3008. I had considered one - they did a diesel hybrid 4x4 which is a rare combination but apparently the battery pack is old school Nickel Cadmium so I don't know how well they last and the cabin looks a bit cramped with that high centre console. HUD Heads Up Display. GT Radials part of GiTi Tire - long established OE supplier so not too bad.

Didn't have full log book so had to go post office and seller filled everything in and said il get a log book in next 14 days. Turned out about 25 days opened envelope and nearly past out as it was a cat car and I asked him that question while sat with my mother him and his mother around their kitchen table and blatantly lied to me. Txt the guy asking to at least tell me previous damages because I carry kids in it so need to know. Completely ignored me so took it trusted garage and turned out something daft and repaired to very good standard. I felt cheated and was so close to parking in in his front sitting room

You're still looking at the wrong end of the brake pipes. Those are the coated bits which are clean as a whistle! Jack it up and check the rearmost end of the front to rear pipe, and I guarantee it will be rusty because theres roughly an inch that was left unprotected from the factory, and that is what they'll be on about. Its usually the offside one but the nearside one may be as well

Have you discovered the front passenger seat will fold flat yet? It means you can put long stuff from boot to glovebox. As for the oil it’s imperative to only use the Peugeot approved oil, it’s like water, or you will get trouble. You have this I hate French cars thing and 1.2 engines are too small or the 1.5 diesel.

And this is why i say some cars are cursed , I ended up having an accident where someone who was not licenced or insured went into the side of it as i was overtaking , basically they did not check their mirrors and pulled straight into me , so sad as the old Puntos were very fun to drive.

I recall when rubber bumpers were introduced to the MG to accommodate USA safety legislation. They have not stood the test of time.
