Compared to Peugeot's people carriers of old, the 5008 is an absolute revolution. The interior is well thought out and offers plenty of space and practicality, yet the 5008 is good to drive at the same time. Peugeot has improved its cabin quality markedly, and the 5008 feels very well built.

I owned a 5008 for 8 years. Great car that didn't let me down once. Would recommend to current buyers.

[@superdylan803]

My mums owned one for 8 years and it’s never been trouble until now we’re it’s showing it’s age

[@bobwhitton678]

Which one we have just bought a 2012 auto deisel

[@superdylan803]

@@bobwhitton678 we have a manual diesel

[@MrFeruiz]

Mat you're on fire! Ever since the Nissan Leaf you've been rolling these reviews out one after the other!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

i really like these reviews they actually review the cars without being boring. as for the 5008 them seats are amazing how they let people into the back

[@L.A.97.]

Videos keeps getting better and better!

[@846524162]

Mat, you are The Man. I love how you don't get sarcastic or ironic when talking about bad sides. Or you don't mock to the car. You are great, good guy and please don't change, we love your reviews :)

[@jeremycubs8331]

I had one a 2010 1.6 hdi exclusive all leather, sunroof, heated front seats, electronic brake, cruise control etc.. and let me tell you for a diesel it's super refined, tight gearbox and slick gear change, the clutch has strong return but not too hard. The only downside is the suspension set up which is too stiff even worse that is mated with 17 inch low profile tyres, the 18 inch MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST. My advice is to for the entry model with 16 inch alloys for a bit better ride, if you can get past the basic kit.

[@denilssonking8685]

I constantly watch. Congratulations, I love your jokes. Keep up the good work

[@L.A.97.]

Two videos in two days! I like this! :D Try to keep it up, please! :D

[@ngashful]

your a talented reviewer!!

[@Felix96xy]

1:42 BEST PART, no other reviewer does that, am I right?? Matt, YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@otterlyamazing2605]

Agreed

[@mohmedfizzchohan201]

Very entertaining and informative

[@megamanmadrid]

That's why I've subscribed. I really want to see the inner modularity of each car, and Mat is one of the fiew reviewers that do that. So, Mat, keep up the good work !!

[@derekcaspian5913]

You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@onyxshepard5057]

@Derek Caspian instablaster :)

[@derekcaspian5913]

@Onyx Shepard thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@derekcaspian5913]

@Onyx Shepard it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@onyxshepard5057]

@Derek Caspian glad I could help xD

[@allroadca]

really enjoy watching your review... you did the best car review EVER....

[@wenbo18]

one video each day. nice

[@Mattyj3388]

I'm thinking, could one be converted into a camper?

[@javaupdtae]

@carbuyer thanks fr uploading so many videos!!!!!!!!!dont stop lol 3:38

[@HyberCrashDK]

Taking my driver licens in this big boi! gonna be fun!

[@L.A.97.]

Best car reviewing channel ever? In my eye, yes, by MILES!

[@l.3983]

Hi. Is this the Allure, Exclusive or the Sport? Thanks.

[@M9A5P]

Seriously good review "Or you have to use the Force... or I suppose I could just lean forward" Haha

[@nomadic_inflight]

The last time I watched this, I was sleepy. So, I thought he was talking to me at 0:34. =D

[@eternalhalloween1]

For what it is, it's actually impressive.

[@macblox6871]

For a Peugeot

[@ruwn561]

eternalhalloween1 that’s what she said.

[@zakrstcasniisloboduz]

Folks how is this compared to S max? Which is mpre roomy,quiet?

[@TheAlexv6]

50mpg!! Man why can they make cars like that over here in the US!! My pathfinder only gets 17mpg?!?

[@vinnyoh4274]

LOL; i hope you know now that uk gallon is different from us gallon. 1 US Gallon = 3.8 Liter, 1 UK Gallon = 4.546 Liter. So, 50 mpg in uk is about 41 mpg in the us. Also, Diesels tend to be more fuel efficient than their gasoline counterparts, and cars in the europe tend to have smaller, and therefore less powerful engines. (If you can remember, midsize sedans and suvs used to have v6 as standard in the US, but even in this minivan, the diesel engine choices are just 1.6L and/or 2.0L.

[@TangoR34]

@Preluding99 this is a debatable point because let's say for a BMW 5 series US typically review a 550i auto where as Europe typically reviews a 520d manual. Both of which sounds ridiculous spec on either side of the pond. Could try selling it US but engines choices will be a con because no V6 is available.

[@MRTY323]

I like CarBuyer reviews in general but how is that it's always the manual version that get's reviewed? This car with the EGC is a totally different experience and that ought to be mentioned by the reviewer.

[@TheOne42]

Mat please make a review of the new Hyundai Volester.. :)

[@BestCarSound]

What's that in glove box?

[@Sherukka]

@TheMorotgubben You can't be that old then! Wow, I'm impressed that you learned to write this quickly! ;)

[@mikeRT1200]

nice review ..time for a used 5008 ....i cannot afford something newest

[@derbigpr500]

@Preluding99 Yes. Majority of cars sold in Europe are manuals. In fact, almost anything apart from big luxury saloons is manual, people dont want to pay extra for automatics, and manuals are nicer to drive.

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

awww young matt

[@thePussysniffer]

I LIKE THIS GUY

[@L.A.97.]

Yeah you're looking good Matt yeees ;)

[@Mejevoli]

HE FELL DOWN! =))) God i love this guy HAHAHA i always watch this show saying "wow that's a very practical cheap car" and i'm seventeen O.o

[@MrOpirus]

Any one have a 5008 any model either this or face lift .. I need to know about durability ,reliability and its frequent mechanic or electric problems

[@badnan1778]

Had one for 4 years (2010 model) and it never got bad. It has great durability and it's really reliable. No electric problems or anything, family loved it.

[@edydj9671]

Emad Hamdy,reliabily is its biggest problem,a year ago one of the cylinder in our's was not working well which is ridiculous for a 4 year car with 15500miles/25000 km

[@L.A.97.]

@Atheistprimate Yes, but this family car isn't boring, so that means that this video is SUPERB!

[@microcreditosonline]

looks confortable

[@thelastgood1forever]

@nishantsirohi123 yeah, why don't we get manuals in America any more. Pick ups with automatics don't have as much pulling power as those with manuals

[@federico7745]

me encanto

[@GrotrianSeiler]

I don't know about build quality, but it looks great, if this is the kind of vehicle you need for everyday. "you need to use the force", funny.

[@federico7745]

capas te lo compro

[@bobwalsh3751]

1:42 Go AAAGH!!!!

[@federico7745]

ahora tenes el peugeot ha bueno tenes el smax el peugeot y el auto que nos mostraste

[@ryanfrisby7389]

So this is the video where Matt falls out of the Mpv.

[@celtic711888]

I bought a brand new 5008 in January last year. I was sold the dream of the pop up seats but they are on an aggressive hing/spring mechanism which can cause the rollers to jump out of the rail and means it can't be folder flat or put into a seat position so it becomes an obstacle in the boot in an apex position. Peugeot and The dealership are aware of this and there is no way to repair this other than replace the seat completely at a cost of over £1,000. Personally I would not advise anyone to buy this car.

[@federico7745]

se movió todo el auto jaaaa

[@lesleyfarrington6513]

I had enough trouble getting in the driver's seat and I'm only 5'1. It slopes far too steeply and also has a lip at the bottom. As MPVs are often a choice of Motability customers, to carry their wheelchairs, scooters etc., this could be a problem...for Peugeot. Then you can't reach anything. Ergonomics are not Peugeot's strong point going off this car. Would choose the Grand Picasso over this

Wtf is Matt doing here?!

[@theboyguy4825]

cool

Is this mat watson from car wow

[@Mcithebest]

Yes

[@anejz1637]

Mat before carWOW

[@rahels4234]

Ayo mat 😳😳

[@MajorMidnightCruiser]

Grand c4 Picasso

[@tokekkk]

what the hell is that inside the glovebox, eating so much space

[@FarmerBeavis]

he seems to be just a bit nerdy... "Use the force.." and the "Lie" about the glovebox :)

[@ayvo6226]

Is it only me or is this like a exact copy of the citroen c4 grand picasso?

[@ayvo6226]

As in the 3rd row of seats and the 2nd row how you can recline them and move them.

[@utubeleplague]

True. They share many things on PSA.

[@thelastgood1forever]

@TheAlexv6 it isn't the car so much as the fuel its self. Fuel in Europe is richer than here in America, so cars don't need as much of it, so it's not entirely the cars

[@dnaniell]

something that mat show us, is that amazing cars like this, always have stupid but important problems, i mean can´t any brand sell a perfect car...or hire better designers or something like that?

[@karlpeart1988]

did he say crap . at 1 min 45 seconds???

[@Marvin_Heemeyer]

karl peart, 6 years later. But yeah.

[@rocket7334]

My cheese sandwich wont fit in that glove box.

[@RadiusDevTeam-cv7ou]

This car is so roomy! Finally a car for obese families.This man knew how to put comedy in the video with fast moves. He's a legend. Respect to you, Mat!

[@bishomon]

@biathl He has a Facebook page that you can "Like".

[@turilegenda7103]

this so funny watching in 2021 when mat is on car wow now hah

[@cmagennis927]

Brilliant cars, much better than a S-MAX

[@superdylan803]

My mum was gonna go for a s max but when she saw the Peugeot she instant went for it

[@MAXXFIGO]

i don't know if he cares about colors but gush brown with green...it's a kill for my eyes...i'm not a fashion addict but common let's face it...even if i'm going to WC i'm not wearing that combination...

[@234jari234]

you need to drive a "reasonably priced car" on Top Gear and moan about the bad and be positive about the good things when you are driving :)

[@oevr37]

Could they ever film this car next to someone who isn't 1.50 m

[@elianation23]

[@ddrodwell1]

If Matt comes out the closet he can be my husband! Oh my god he's perfect!!!!

[@dunti21]

@DriftxKingGTR No, the Americans that want to rip are mad...

[@federico7745]

parece que sos millonario

[@palusisko]

Only time has shown what a disaster the 1.6 Vti and 1.6 THP engine was :-) The 1.6 HDI has problem with FAP, so only 2.0 HDI can be recomended as used car :-)

[@ssisakl]

hahaa "that is very very mean"

[@drcheese42]

Renault grand scenic all the way

[@hsmegypt2012]

hahahahaha

[@kronosg13]

THE GLOVEBOX IS A LIE! D:

[@MegaApple45]

he is soooooo hottttt

[@federico7745]

que carajo

[@TheBasballs]

Yeah your car was ill

[@MrTempra92]

one real downside this car- dashboard reflexion on sunny days,

[@johnwebsster6247]

Another load of RUBBISH by your driver. The Citreon Grand Diesel Exclusive 2008 Handles very well considering its size and the automatic rear view mirrors are great for parking such a large MPV. Get real man. It is not a Ferrari For £9000 s/h Great car.

[@kkkjamkkkjamkkk]

what your obsession with MPV's matt? i enjoy your reviews but these cars are just boring

[@ArchefluxxMusic]

Are we really going to try and pretend this is a good car?

[@superdylan803]

No it's brilliant Had it from 2014 Never broke down Most reliable Peugeot ever

[@andysim232]

I would never put children in those rear seats. They are outside tge vehicles crumple zones. Good luck getting your kids out after a crash. Whole poibt of the 5 star ncap rating goes out the window when your children are just inches from the rear od the vehicle lol

[@guillodean]

good looking car? Very bland in my view

[@beaggyboy]

Impressiv at evry angle,inside & out,except 4 frontal approach.It really sucks 2 look at,it's as if a design engineer after spending waking moments putting evry detail 2 attention thru d'nite,comes dawn,a few moments away from work submission,applying simplistic-nonchalant closures 2 the front that essentially bears strong resemblance 2 a certain German SUV,wic is famous 4 tech-superior but unchanging ugly sportcars.5008 engine-hood is mechanic-unfriendly,I pity them.Shud take cues from BMW-Mini

[@tiesfa]

Gay-car.

[@aakeister]

The worst semi automatic gearbox on the market, auto gearboxes are not supposed to be jerky and slow at changing up, this rubbish fitted to both Peugeot and Citroen is an embarrasment. Come on peugeot, fit a decent auto gearbox and I might have been persuaded to buy one, but not with this truly awful semi auto nothing gearbox you have.
