Peugeot 2008 (2013 - 2019) 1.2 PureTech Active 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
So this thing wins the award for the worst car in history. Let me explain:
Gearbox - like stirring coal , getting a gear is more luck than skill
Handling - waterbed chassis with temperamental steering, every time I turn the wheel it's a different strength or feeling to it, very wobbly jumpy car
Clutch - either off or go, no crawling ability AT ALL. You can't crawl in traffic you either have the clutch down or the gas on, if you try and crawl it either stalls or jumps around like a learner on your first lesson
Engine - put it this way, my foot was flat in 3rd and I was getting tailgated by a Honda jazz, need I say more?
Brakes - similar to clutch it's all or nothing
Handling - it has appalling handling because of a mix of all the above.
Comfort - a tiny bit but so so noisy
Summary: if I won the lottery I would buy one of these cars purely so I could crash it repeatedly into things and then roll it into a sewage pit. Luckily it's only been a courtesy car whilst my real actual useful car has been in the garage. Driving this 'thing' will make me a more nervous driver when I get my own car back out of fear of ever having to get it again because mine is off the road.
How reliable do you find the car?
