Peugeot 5008 road tests and consumer car reviews

Peugeot 5008 2.0 HDi 150 Exclusive 2009

WOWWWWWW!! I can’t believe it’s a Peugeot, it’s so lovely built, beautiful to drive and the engine is a cracker. So you can imagine why I had no trouble deciding whether I should trade in my c**p, unreliable, cheaply made Ford S Max 2.0 TDCi Zetec. The 5008 is worth twice of the SMAX because the Ford is awful. Top Gear reckon the Smax is an MPV that can be seen in, but you would be lucky if you were seen in it at all because it’s so unreliable! The Peugeot is like a Rolls Royce of the people carriers, the Ford is the Lada of the people carriers. I can recommend this to anyone without even doubting it for one minute.

I can’t agree enough with you. I have ordered my 5008 and I’m also trading in a SMax Zetec 1.8 TDCi and to be honest I cannot wait to see the back of it because it is rubbish. I have read that for a good driving MPV to stick with the SMax but trust me, DON’T. It isnt overly fuel efficient of comfortable, The electrics suffer from glitched were the lights and radio will cut out and the boot lid handle, which is electronic sometimes does not open. Also the 3 rows of seats are cramped and there’s no head room, it’s no wonder the magazine ’which car’ reveled that the Galaxy and SMax were the two worst MPVs on the market. The new 5008 is strange because you sit really high up but the classy centre console sits up high so you actually feel like you are in a sports car. I could only afford the 1.6 HDI 110 Sport and the engine provides great pull when wanting to overtake and it is very smooth with excellent refinement. No wonder it won What Car MPV of the year 2010. Peugeot are onto a winner along with the striking 3008 - Ryan Johnston from Essex
