Peugeot 3008 (2009 - 2016) 1.6 HDi Active (11/13-) 5d Owner Review

I like the driving position and comfort, the 1.6d with 6 speed manual is an excellent power unit and transmission. The panoramic roof looks stunning but realistically I’ve had it open less than a dozen times - a gimmick .. whereas the versatile boot configuration and tailgate are really useful Things I don’t like : It has a low door head height - anyone tall or with back problems will bang their head getting in. ( guess how I know that) Also the door B-pillar is very wide - probably needed for strength due to the glass roof- meaning there’s a large blind spot on your shoulder as you pull up at off-set junctions .. meaning you’ll need to crank your neck to see round it. ( again an issue for anyone with back issues) oh and the diamond cut alloys protective coating .. doesn’t do the job But all in all it’s a good car.. way too much room for the weekly stuff - but plenty of room and comfortable for longer drives with all the family on staycations .. I’ve done over 600 miles on a single tank which was idea for traveling from the East Midlands for week at the very extreme tip of Llynn peninsula in North Wales Including daily meanderings
