Mark great review of Peugeot 3008 an honest northern lad caught flat footed by the real QUALITY of this vehicle , You covered all points and I put it into my list of vehicles to replace our Audi a3 TDI Dec 2019 Thanks again and well done.
The old 3008 WAS and IS a good car. It was actually really practical and had good engines. It also drove well. And while the styling divided opinions, people still look when it goes by and I happen to like the look of it. The new one is a masterpiece though. Best in class.
Totally agree - I have an end of 2016 allure in white and I have had so many comments about it and folks asking me what it is. Great cockpit and very smooth to drive.
Decent car, I've got the allure hybrid but the clutch is a bit crap and lags when it changes gear (only Auto on hybrid) although I love the extra power and more responsive pedal when 'sport' button is pressed.
I owned a 3008 GT-line diesel for a while now, and I´ts a great car! I´m still glad I chose this car over its German rivals. Of course, there are some features that makes you scratch your head from time to time, being a frenchy, here are some of them: Volume control lags for about 2 seconds every time, back doors closes weirdly (passengers often think they're "half closed" when there not?) Sunroof opens every other time via the remote function, frustrating during hot summer days :) otherwise this car is just amazing... I would recommend it to a friend
Mark the guy that is Frank in his review of this Peugeot which has brought about a revolution going from absolute crap to highly desirable. You dived in and covered all aspects of this wonderful SUV thanks Mark.
Good review, thank you. I have an Allure 1.2 auto and you are right, it is a really good engine. I've covered about 1200 miles on all types of roads and still have difficulty believing it's a 1.2L, 3 cylinder engine. It is so quiet as well. The auto headlights and auto wipers work better than those on my BMW.
Giving you a thumbs up even before watching it. The car is superb - interesting and different and this guy is also interesting and different + amusing thrown in! Winning combination! :-D
Interesting review. Had mine for a few months now and discovered that the traction control is of no use in the snow and the tyres fitted are also not suited to snow, and there's been a lot of that.
After your comments and lots of haggling. We are taking delivery of a Peugeot 3008 gt line 1.5 diesel automatic on 28/07/19. Thanks for your help in making a difficult decision.
Lovely looking car, shed loads of tech but had one blow up on me, the mrs and the kids on the fast lane of the m25 at lets say 70. Car was only on 65,000 on a 17 plate and needed whole new engine. Very scary especially for the kids, with the panic in the air. So lovely car but 100% now deterred me from french cars ever again. Now got a kuga instead.
They are struggling to keep up with the orders with more than 1200 units coming out of the factory everyday. Peugeot was in a bit of mess before this 3008 came out, just like the 205 back in its day this car will probably be seen as the cash-cow which has saved the company from going under
Great review, you've gained yourself a subscriber. Can the people who keep saying this car needs to be electric please go to the nearest mirror, look yourself n the eye, & slap yourself till unconscious. The automotive industry does not work on short term plans, these cars are years in the making, it's at least 5 years for a completely new platform to come to market. France & the UK decided at the drop of hat to change the rules, it'll be years before we see fully developed EVs replace mainstream petrol/diesel cars. Cars are not mobile phones people 🙄.
Good honest review, but with other reviews I've heard, no one seems to want to operate the heating or other touchscreen controls whilst on the move. This is my one very big concern about the car. I suppose I will just have to test drive it myself to find out.
Owning the old 5008 from 2012 and planning to buy the new one with the biggest diesel engine. Beefy ! German equivalents ? A Touran ? Seriously guys, why not a Combi ? lol !
It's the very definition of a crossover. All versions are front-wheel drive apart from the diesel-electric hybrid one, which Peugeot calls 'Limited Edition'. That's a technical marketing term for "nobody will buy this".
It would be foolish of Peugeot to come out with a car that is not electric at this point. The SUV is nice. But it really should have had dual motor electric drive with a 50kwh battery with high-speed charging and they would fly off the lots literally. Too bad.
Hybrid outin 2018, but these have sold in there thousands since their release and the factories are having trouble keeping up the demand, no real need to push the hybrid yet if you are selling economical petrol and diesel models.
What's good about diesel? More NOx to kill us off. Looks the same as the rest, boring. Looked cramped for interior space. I wonder how many will be sold in the USA? That would be the test, but they don't actually sell any French made vehicle in the USA. I wonder why?
Coal tar oil instead of fosill fuel. My dti has gone 4 times around the clock is 23 years old and passes all test and Mots and runs a dream.No fumes and you are so wrong it is laughable
Nicky Nike Says the American who's country produces the 8.4 litre Viper, who made the Hummer H2, a car that would do 9 mpg. Do me a favour, & go watch a video based in your own dumb nation, it's all you deserve.
What is good about diesel? A diesel engine is more efficient, causes less CO2, has lots more torque and easily makes higher milage than a petrol engine. Btw the Nox problem is solved. Concluseion: a diesel engine is greener than a petrol engine. That will be the next hysteria.
Probably the only time I've enjoyed what I've heard from a person with a man-bun and sleeve tattoos. New respect!
Ha! Thanks. M.
You guys make really great and fun reviews!!! Really love it :)
Mark great review of Peugeot 3008 an honest northern lad caught flat footed by the real QUALITY of this vehicle ,

Another top review. I enjoyed watching this. Keep em coming :)
Great review as always, entertaining, informative and yet concise, that's hard to do but you nailed it.

Love the review
Interesting and inf
Owned a new 3008 suv , 17 plate.
Now got an 18 plate,
Really like the solid feel of it
Well done Peugeot
I've got the new diesel version of this car and it is a bloody nice car to drive and it never seems to use any fuel

Niklas Nester sounds like a typical French car . Give it another 18 months and most of the electrics will fuck up
David i have a peugeot 508 (2012) and i can tell you i didn't have any problem with electrics !!!
Thomas you delve into all the nooks and crannies of this great vehicle and decanted yet another quality review to your appreciative audience.

What a great looking crossover inside and out...
First time looking at your video review. You won another subscriber. Really like the style. Great review.

I really enjoy car reviews with humor.
Great review...informing and entertaining.....like the old Top Gear really. But.....please, please, please keep your hands on the wheel mate.

the tyres are mud and snow how are they not suited for snow?? :-)
Excellent review
My concern is reliability and holding value etc..... Think tiguan better option if not as exciting looking
After your comments and lots of haggling. We are taking delivery of a Peugeot 3008 gt line 1.5 diesel automatic on 28/07/19. Thanks for your help in making a difficult decision.
@ Mark Rogers... Good choice - I plan to order the GT 1.2 this month. You having to wait 6 months for your delivery - 28/07/19?
Blah, Blah, Blah
I was told gearbox shortage.
Lovely looking car, shed loads of tech but had one blow up on me, the mrs and the kids on the fast lane of the m25 at lets say 70. Car was only on 65,000 on a 17 plate and needed whole new engine.

Sweet review man.
Just been told I got a cancellation spot it will be hear before 1/04/2019. Huray
Great video, great car (I’ve the 1.2 GT line) appalling Peugeot after sales.
Why?
must be the uk guys, in other countries like mine after-sale is great
Mark would you put cash into this or a Mazda CX5?
This, all day. The CX-5 is good but this is just next level brilliant. M.
HonestJohn.co.uk what about a cx9?
They are struggling to keep up with the orders with more than 1200 units coming out of the factory everyday. Peugeot was in a bit of mess before this 3008 came out, just like the 205 back in its day this car will probably be seen as the cash-cow which has saved the company from going under

*Tesla would like to speak with you*
Man bun. Run away fast🏃♂️
i think this video amazingly great, but your green screen is annoying
A paddle shift which stay still when turning the steering wheel. Lol
Omg...just noticed that! That's just put me off getting one of these! Lol
Nice Car...maybe show a bit less of you...and more of the car during Review
Good honest review, but with other reviews I've heard, no one seems to want to operate the heating or other touchscreen controls whilst on the move. This is my one very big concern about the car. I suppose I will just have to test drive it myself to find out.

SUV for dwarfs. Or tank crew member.
Good, enjoyable presenting but didn’t actually get to see much of the car.
It's a SUV not a crossover... wtf crossover is much smaller
Crossover is not about size. The Mercedes R Class was a crossover, and it was huge.
It is SUV, not a crossover.
It's a front-wheel drive hatchback, my friend. M.
A lot of experts watching your vids, hey Mark?
The 3008 it's not a crossover it's SUV
It's the very definition of a crossover. All versions are front-wheel drive apart from the diesel-electric hybrid one, which Peugeot calls 'Limited Edition'. That's a technical marketing term for "nobody will buy this".
sexy car and a sexy guy doing the review
Shame the electrics are so unreliable.
It would be foolish of Peugeot to come out with a car that is not electric at this point. The SUV is nice. But it really should have had dual motor electric drive with a 50kwh battery with high-speed charging and they would fly off the lots literally. Too bad.
Anti Petrolhead calm down, its on the way, the hybrid electric is out next year and in all wheel drive!
Is it next year or the year after next?
Hybrid outin 2018, but these have sold in there thousands since their release and the factories are having trouble keeping up the demand, no real need to push the hybrid yet if you are selling economical petrol and diesel models.
+Tony B Yes you are absolutely right, and they have already plan/ed an Hybrid for 2019, it's gonna be a R-Hybrid GT with 375 HorsePower.
electric is best new thing until they find another one to force people into buying more new cars
And it’s front wheel drive only. Thanks, but no thanks.
What's good about diesel? More NOx to kill us off. Looks the same as the rest, boring. Looked cramped for interior space. I wonder how many will be sold in the USA? That would be the test, but they don't actually sell any French made vehicle in the USA. I wonder why?
Diesel more economical
Coal tar oil instead of fosill fuel. My dti has gone 4 times around the clock is 23 years old and passes all test and Mots and runs a dream.No fumes and you are so wrong it is laughable
because americans no nothing about cars

Are you reviewing yourself or the car, super annoying
I’m reviewing you, OJ. And I find you bitter. Bitter OJ.
God, I am annoying aren’t I? Sorry OJ. x
HonestJohn.co.uk don’t take the feedback personally, you won’t benefit if we not say what we feel
^^^nobody is this stupid. Nice troll OJ. You win. 👏😁
I did not understand more that ten words out of sentences .He looks like a pirate and who would trust him?
*more than ten words. People will understand that sentence now. You're welcome.
nevermind, he has the right to write (you see? ;) ) wrong as mark has the right to have the worst possible accent ;)
Kevin James Parr Are you American by any chance?
Arrrrrr!
