Introducing the new Peugeot 2008! It’s a family-friendly small SUV with interesting exterior looks that deliver an impressively sensible real-world economy. What’s more, pick up a range-topping GT model and you’ll have a car with a 1.2-litre engine and 153hp! But with so much choice out there, does it really offer enough to stand out in the crowded small SUV market? Join Mat in his brand-new review and find out!

12:19 Sorry guys, but Mat's review of the Ford Puma isn't live... yet! But you'll be seeing it soon!
Either way, let us know - would you choose the 2008 over the new Puma?!
No!
Ok
That's fine
2008 hands down
carwow do Mercedes E63S vs GT63S 4dr
Puma
Ok, Peugeot needs to make another RCZ with their current interiors and exterior design
I honestly forgot it existed
YES
The rcz looks beautifull even with the old design. Especially that sloping glass roof. Damn i get hard even thinking about that roof
Will never happen, the RCZ was a low production model, low PSA need to concentrate on hybrid and electric vehicles to br competitive and not coupe's (I have 2 so ive got my fix 😄).
but mostly, a better and more exciting engine.
I watched this review and took Matt's advice and bought one. The finish is just not like Peugeot of old its really beautifully made and very solid -more Audi standards than Peugeot amazingly. Driving it feels quite special somehow -more than the sum of parts. Have put all-season tyres on it and it goes through the recent snow without noticing -its a great vehicle !
I hired one last month. The auto brake and lane assist saved me a couple of times.
I hired the same car and the same exact color a week ago. It’s a nice and very good looking car, but there’s no light on the back seats, and the front seats lights are very week.
I pick mine up next week, 130 bhp allure premium
If its the 1.2 puretech get rid before the end of warranty. Huge issues with the engine. As a result I had to sell my citroen after being advised that it would need a new engine.
Ive watched this review at least 10 times. I was looking for a new, reliable family car for some time and finally I bought that 2008 (not trough Carwow) 130hp manuel. I paid the car right away and it felt weird to spend so much money at once but I think it is worth it. What Im trying to say is: Mat's reviews are spot on. This vehicle puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
Thanks !
Hello mate, can the 2008's rear seats accommodate my 15 yr old son, 9 yr old daughter and my 70 yr old Father(slim build height 5ft 7) ? Or do I HAVE TO go for the 3008 do you think? Boot space is not a big deal for me.
@@kkrisshh I'm not any car expert, sir. I have very really more than 2 passengers in the car. If you ask for my suggestion, I'd recommend you try both cars if possible. Back seats space was never someone i consider. I wish you best of luck in your choice .
All the best 🖖🏼
@@KidTempered thanks for replying to my comment. Yeah I will eventually test drive both. Cheers.
@@kkrisshh Peugeot is a god family car 🙂 I'm sure you make a good choice .
@@KidTempered Hello mate, could you please give us a short review of how this peugeot carried you so far? I'm curious to see how it held up 🤔
So far, 5 years of trouble-free motoring from my 2008. Not a single fault. 1.6 e-HDI automatic....a great engine. 60MPG combined. Amazing.
Peugot ups their game everytime. Looks so beautiful.
It is a great-looking thing!
French cars killing the game since 2017😂
Is this as good as a Duster?
@@DaciaProject 😂😂😂
@@alexandergrzx300 yeah man
These French car companies are now killing it with the design.
I thought Mat wouldn't like it because it doesn't have the BMW idrive system.
Johnson I agree but you’ve still got the “f”word in the sentence.
French design is wow !
Matt actually prefers Mercedes system now than bmws
Are they reliable? I haven't owned one and I have an interest in them.
Youre Gonna Need a Bigger Boat BMW And Mercedes don’t copy eachother ... their designs look nothing like each other
you can tell Peugeot are on a roll and making really good cars, as every car so far car wow has recommended to buy
Or he's getting paid to say so
James Dawson, Matt Watson is not corrupt you gay
@@jamesdawson7524 even if he gets paid, he still do an honest review. That is why I watch him tbh
James Dawson mercedes has invested millions of dollars into carwow, and he still recommended both the bmw and the tesla over the merc, so he isn’t biased at all -.-
@dr.q very indepth person you are .
After watching many reviews on the new 2008 I placed an order 6 months ago. Collected my new GT petrol a few weeks and absolutely love it. Matt's review is spot on. Brilliant build quality, comfortable ride, and the best looking car in this segment. Now that the early cam belt issues have been resolved I can highly recommend.
I like it when Carwow review less known cars
Like ppl don’t look at this car as a car they’d buy but you guys r proving them wrong
Keep it up
Thanks!
carwow thx for responding
Dude whatever u said is absolutely correct... Good question
I meant good comment
Is it really less known? I would say Peugeot is on par with Renault, Opel, Ford,... in my country
Aye carwow, just want to let you know i love matwatson. He's like the best car reviewer!.
He'll do ;)
I agree
Peugeot is really killing it with car styling right now. Amazing.
I’m based in South Africa and I’m going to buy it. Sporty look enough for me and functional enough practical enough as well. Thank you for your very thorough review Mat.
The French are pumping out some really good cars!
The design and interior alone of this and it's little brother, the 208, is very impressive.
Yep. This changed my mind as well.
they are killing it with the design.
This reminds me of top gear's last review of a Peugeot and how they showed the potential of this manufacturer! Looks like some one has had a design meeting in Paris and decided to create magnificent outputs again! Love the way this is designed!
Gilles Vidal is designer who has godlike status in auto industry, he designed all new Pugs and they sacked him last year, now Renault has three leading car designers of the world Vidal,Acker and Carrasco!
@@dado380 They didn't sack him, he resigned.
Just hired one for 4 days and have mixed feelings. It's lovely to drive and I was very happy with it but there's more understeer than I'm used to(Fiesta owner). Rear camera is absolutely fab, way way better than my Ford. Some ergonomic design issues though 1) It's really hard to engage the seat belt as it's squeezed between the centre console and the seat 2) cup holders are way too shallow. I was constantly catching stuff with my arm when changing gear 3) Window controls on driver's door are designed for somebody with T rex arms. I'm only average but even with your elbow banging against the seat back you can't reach all the buttons without bending your wrist 90 degrees or lifting your elbow. 4) The main collection of control buttons in the centre look a bit strange (personal view) but are also positioned horizontally. Would have expected them to be angled either downwards or slightly towards the driver.
It's a lovely car but I think the ergonomic issues would wind me up after a while
I hired the same car and the same exact color a week ago. It’s a nice and very good looking car, but there’s no light on the back seats, and the front seats lights are very week.
Had a 3008 and 5008 the past 5 years, and both these cars were not just great to look at, but overall drive and comfort levels were extremely good. Not a single issue either
Kinda bad in snow tho.
Which one better 3008 0r 2008 ?
@@music_lyrics No idea, I would make the decision mainly on what size car you need. I did hear the 2008 is not as good quality wise as the 3008, but please check reviews
Who ever designs these Peugeot’s needs a pay rise
Gilles Vidal
Not anymore since this summer. He just quit Peugeot for .... Renault. He was the father of the rebirth of Peugeot with the 308, 508, 208, 3008,5008. Great job.
Horrible…needs to get the sack.
Dude for me it cost over 374k na
Mat, the reason the rear windows don’t go all the way down on some vehicles is because of the wheel well. If you don’t have the wheel well sticking into the door the window can drop. Or if you put a fixed piece of glass to the rear and have a smaller opening. Then you have a fixed window in the way too. Design over function at it’s finest. Enjoy your reviews!!! Hi from California.
we need a review of the new clio and captur
bojan pislevski yes that’s true
If we watch Peugeot 10 years back, they really did made some progress
Yeah, Peugeot, Kia, Hyundai have really stepped up their game
And VW and BMW have gone down imo
@@Petrik_33 and look at there price now. Have to look to Dacia now for a cheap car. A Ford focus is no longer really affordable
Jeremy is still laughing 🤣
Stefan Braem VW is still good but bmw average
I always take issue with criticism of the "cheap and plastic feeling pieces" on the interior of a car. It depends on where they are. Those pieces are designed and put in places to be rugged and durable and inexpensive to replace. They'll get kicked and scraped a lot. Obviously there are some cost saving measures in many cases, but padded soft touch materials in certain areas will be ruined in no time if they're put in high wear areas.
Agreed, they're just nit picking.
Peugeot are on it at the moment. Saw a 208 GT Line the other day, superb looking small car.
I want this car in the future, well played Matt
Lazar Vasilev Test drive it! The old one had horrible suspension (unless the super soft 3008) and was no fun to drive
I had a 2016 308 gt line and loved it, traded that for a 2018 308 gt line then traded that for a 2020 2008 gt line and absolutely love it. Really comfortable ride while still keeping great handling. The 3D iCockpit is a master stroke from the boffins at Peugeot. I would definitely recommend a new 2008 to anybody looking at a compact SUV
@@AlanFlavell im in shambles now in what to choose, i love both 2008 and the 208 and im really stuck on what im gonna get, any help? it will be my first big investment, i drive a 207 daily so. Im screwed :(
@@bingobongo1615 I had the old one and you’re right, suspension was horrible. Only bad point about it. Hope the new one is better.
This week I saw a 2008 in real life and couldn't stop staring at that beautiful thing. The Renault Captur feels like a joke compared to it.
The last time I stared that much at something it was a beautiful lady with a big tight rear bumper :p
The french are rocking it with their beautiful designs (specially PSA brands) and we definitely need Matt's reviews of the brand new DS4 and the Peugeot 308. Also a review of the low cost brand new Dacia Sandero is needed !
@@S-A-M. I would dare to say that Renaults are the french version of Volkswagen. They're boring but still good to drive and definitely give you a lot for your money.
Picked up my 2008 1.2 pt130 GT Line, Pearlescent White yesterday. So far done 11 trouble free miles!
Waiting for Boris to let me go out & drive it. The car itself looks fantastic both inside & out. The infotainment system looks complicated, but when you actually use it, it is fairly straightforward and intuitive. A feature rarely mentioned in the reviews is the voice control. You can use it to navigate, change radio stations, play music files and alter heating settings that I have come across so far. Perhaps not as slick or
comprehensive as Mercedes MBUX but it does the job ok.
This is my third 2008 and on first impressions this one is a quantum leap ahead of the previous version. I just need to be able to get out and actually drive it somewhere!!
Usually French cars manage the first 11 miles trouble free
JB London you don’t start getting into any real problems till about 25 miles
August 14, 2020 9:25 pm
How's the reliability been ?
I laernt from reliablity car rankings that this is is quite unreliable, may I know of your your experience thoroughly?
@@kenyon516 This is the 3rd 2008 I have had since the original in October 2013. All of them have been utterly reliable, I get them serviced every year and there have been no issues at all. There was a recall on the first car for something to do with rear seatbelts. My daughter now runs my 2nd facelift model and it has been trouble free also. Apart from new tyres and brake pads on the front just the usual wear and tear items. I can say that I have been completely satisfied with all three 2008's I have had. They are comfortable, roomy and economical. I have only done 7000 miles since buying the latest car in 2020 but it too has been totally reliable. From my own experience of these cars I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of buying. This new model is a completely different car, larger, quieter and more space inside, with a lot more tech. The voice control is far better, though can't match Mercedes, but who can!
Hope this answers your query, a very reliable car.
I have this car GT version. Highly recommend. Have owned it for a year and I still get compliments about it
7 inch or 10 inch navi? Orderet the gt but im afraid i have the 7 inch navi without maps
@@hereaioan3379 you'll have the 10 inch with navi
Definitely PEUGEOT people have a TIME MACHINE which they used to bring so futuristic models in present.
An amazing car, personally I would choose the 208 over 2008 but that's just personal preference! Great Job Peugeot! Can't wait for the new 308
Same. I really like the 208 but I'm more a station wagon lover. Can't wait for the new 308. Peugeot really stept up the game
The facelifted 308 is 2 years away. Got that from a confident source.
@@Strippyx seems you were not far.
First pitcture were shown and it may be for 2022
@@ousou78 guess again
The exterior and interior are incredible! They designers honestly earn their bread
Another great review Matt. I purchased my Peugeot 3008 GT line after watching your review on that vehicle and love it. Had the car 18 months and it’s been a dream to own. I’m really interested in the 508 PSE hybrid that is due out later this year. Can’t wait for you to review that. Supposed to have 400bhp with combined petrol and electric engines.
Just curious @leemason666
How's your experience with 3008. Am Planning to buy one 😊
I used to laugh at Peugeot but now if I was able to afford it, I would purchase one and ship it to the states. LOVE what they are doing! Thumbs up to Peugeot and to this review channel.
I hired the same car and the same exact color a week ago. It’s a nice and very good looking car, but there’s no light on the back seats, and the front seats lights are very week.
Best looking SUV on the market.
I got mine 3 weeks ago...I love it...it's really fun to drive...sounds amazing when you put your foot down... brilliant car
Loooovvve this channel... Mat keep up the great, absolutely fantastic work 😂
I bought this car week ago after watching your review. Nice looking car and is fun to drive. Thanks mate 👍
How is it after a year of using does it require a lot
You’re honestly one of the best car reviewers on RUclips. I enjoy your review so much. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
I've just brought the gt line after seeing your review.
But I have a question can you shed some light on were I find the locking wheel nut socket as my dealer just keep telling me it should be in the glove box??
Keep up the good work.
Great honest reviews just what we need.
Everyone: Self quarantine!!
Mat: Here I present another review.
Rojan Dumaru Matson? I thought his name was Mat
@@stacia6678 yeah mate you're right 😅😂
I really like the back of the car! FINALLY someone does a real difference with the back!
Brilliant review 👍🏼 Seriously tempting... now where can I go to find out which dealer has the best offers...!!!???
Hi Mat,
Love watching your car reviews.
Could you please tell us the best engine choice (Petrol) ?
I will say the Peugeot interiors are well up there. But I drove the 3008 two and a half years ago. It was stunning inside, but every engine in the range was abysmal. Up my local hill, a few miles from the dealership, the automatic shuffled back and forth as it couldn’t decide which gear to use. Woefully underpowered.
Let’s hope they’ve improved that aspect of the vehicle.
Can you review the electric e-2008 please. Thank you.
I’ve been interested in getting the 2023 Peugeot 2008 for a few weeks now,that said,my head has been turned by the 2023 kia sportage,sadly as I’m completely housebound (hence why my husband/carer is now going for his licence,he actually passed his theory test 2days ago first time and without a single lesson,im so proud of him) due to chronic spinal injuries so video reviews are the only way that I can get a good idea of the vehicle as a whole and the different features etc,so thank you CarWow for this video I really appreciate it and it does help a lot
Got a new 2008 gt line with all the extras 9th of March not had much chance to get out and about because of the lock down but love the look of the car inside and out and look forward to the day when I can actually give it a good run out
French and Korean car manufacturers are making the best looking cars these days.
Don't forget italians!
Buy korean have to much better reliability
@@iulianbudusan8707 Italians were always known to make beautiful looking cars. However the reliability have been their achilles heel. French and Koreans weren't making good looking cars even a decade ago.
@@iulianbudusan8707 Italian leaning towards the premium class but for people's car, I agree that both Korean and French killing it in design these days :D
The thing with these cool modern designs is that they don't age well, so what's cool today will look outdated in 2-3 years when they push out the new redesigns. Just compare the old and new nissan juke (imo those are ugly, esp the old one, but people love them). Classic designs last you longer.
After legendary 405 and 206 Peugeot was almost fading out, but with this new design language Peugeot is alive again!
Don't know what you're talking about. My 207 is a beauty.
@@GenMaster It's a 206 with bodykit.
@@zerotofifty Not by any stretch of the imagination. I owned a 206 as well, you see.
I had a 405. It, along with several BL cars I had beforehand, was the most badly built car I have ever had.
I love your comment dude 😂
My dad had a 405 SR and my mum still has her 206 and now I have a 2008! Coincidence? 😂
Wowcarwow another great review mat. .& all those behind the scenes @ carwow 👍
Great video mate as usual :-) Tell me something about the panoramic roof. Is it small or large? Does it open like in the Tucson and Sportage? Does it close electrically? Last but not the least, Is this value for money when compared to the Tucson, Qashqai or Sportage 2022?
I love peugeot design nowadays especially the 508
I've seen a lot more Peugeot cars on the road in the last couple of years,
Brilliant designs,
Fantastic job Peugeot...
The small glovebox is because they don't move the fuse box to the other side when they change it to right-hand drive, on the left-hand drive model it would be neatly tucked beside the steering wheel and there would be a full-size glovebox.
Without doubt your the best person[ Matt Watson ] on the web at car reviews , clear and precise opinions with a brilliant sense of humour.
It's a beautiful car .... For what others have on offer, this Peugeot 2008 and the new Renault Captur both are brilliant
5:52 There is no "Mat's pick" in the description!
Hello! Your reviews are wonderful - thank you! Have you reviewed the Opel Crossland X?? What would you recommend to buy between either the Peugeot 2008 OR the Opel Crossland X?
I’ve just got back from Portugal where I’ve had a bog standard one of these as a hire car, and it was fantastic. Worthwhile, inoffensively decent car, miles better than any Juke or Captur. As for a Ford Puma, I’ve not driven one, but it’s probably more close run than I’d expect.
2:27 "I'm average height" (6ft)
5ft8 guy : 😭😭😭
I think matt said hes 179cm, which is like 5'11 or something
PepeHands
6ft is not even the average height in the UK
@Steve Bourbon 183 cm or 6' is the average height in the Netherlands, Croatia, and Rwanda indeed.
I honestly love this channel man, Matt is just brill at everything
I’m an old guy with a penchant for diesel autos, and due to mobility issues I need something taller and with a grandchild on the way this big boot sounds good! Any diesel autos in the 2008 range? Great review btw,
Hi!. I have been enjoying your car reviews as i try to decide between Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Mazda CX-5, and Volvo XC-40. My price range seems to lean more towards the Peugeot and Captur. I sat in the Captur today and while it was very comfortable and looked great, it felt a bit cramped. I have not yet sat in the others. Can you please tell me if I should expect to feel more room inside the other 3? Thanks and Happy New Year!
I had a short list of small SUV's that I was interested in and after test driving where I could and looking at all the reviews possible I came to the conclusion that the 2008 was the best of the current line ups, this review went a long way to making that choice and watching the same reviewer testing all the cars on my list really helped get a consistent view. I took delivery of a Vertigo Blue GT Line a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is Mat got it spot on, this car is punching above it's price range and compared to the VW's the quality of finish is far Superior. I originally looked for brand new but got a deal on a pre-registered 20 plate with 10 miles on the clock for £6k under list price, I think I got a bargain for the money.
You don't need to spend your money on the Germans. It justifies it's price very well.
I don't think any crossover does 26k for a 208 based crossover is ridiculous
Or the frenchies
Great review mat, as usual 👍😎. But when you will consider reviewing the new Clio ? 🤓
Got it as a replacement video and yes, it feels great. Got the diesel model and it feels more than 100hp. Bags of torque (not gonna blow your mind) but very decent. I would own one of these no problem. Feels like a much more expensive car and it doesnt drift bad either with those massive tires
U should do a review of Peugeot 508 sw
This looks great in this paint scheme.
Honestly
Thanks Mat! Love your videos!
I've got one as a hire car at the moment, awesome drive, lovely car. Not sure it's got the space to be a family suv, but I'd definitely have one 👌🏻
Having just test driven and ordered one today, it's a 10 from me ! Nice review.
Hi Steve. Did you get to compare the cabin space to the Renault Captur? I am considering both of them.
Really love the design of this car. Good work Peugeot!
100% agree with your verdict. I need one. Awesome review (as always).
Hi Matt l, we are purchasing the new 2022 2008 gt as we were looking for a new car which was a downsize from our Xtrail. Your reviews really helped us make our decision
I was waiting for that notification !
we need a video about the new DS9!
your presentations are always thorough, unbiased, useful and pleasant.
There are many things we can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus): washing our hands, coughing into our elbows, avoiding touching our faces, staying home if we’re feeling sick and social distancing. But what is social distancing? These frequently asked questions explain how to practice social distancing in order to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community.
General Information About Social Distancing
Q: What is social distancing?
A: Social distancing is the practice of purposefully reducing close contact between people. According to the CDC, social distancing means:
Remaining out of “congregate settings” as much as possible.
Avoiding mass gatherings.
Maintaining distance of about 6 feet from others when possible.
Q: Why is social distancing important?
A: Social distancing is crucial for preventing the spread of contagious illnesses such as COVID-19 (coronavirus). COVID-19 can spread through coughing, sneezing and close contact. By minimizing the amount of close contact we have with others, we reduce our chances of catching the virus and spreading it to our loved ones and within our community.
Q: Who is social distancing important for?
A: Social distancing is important for all of us, but those of us who are at higher risk of serious complications caused by COVID-19 should be especially cautious about social distancing. People who are at high risk of complications include:
Older adults.
People who have serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes and lung disease.
Q: What is “flattening the curve”? What does it have to do with social distancing?
A: “Flattening the curve” refers to reducing the number of people who are sick at one time. If there are high surges in the number of COVID-19 cases all at once, health care systems and resources could potentially become overwhelmed. Efforts that help stop COVID-19 from spreading rapidly - like social distancing - help keep the number of people who are sick at one time as low as possible.
Q: When should I start practicing social distancing?
A: The best time to begin social distancing is before an illness like COVID-19 becomes widespread throughout your community. Each community’s situation is unique, so it is important to follow the guidance of local government, health departments and health care providers.
The advice below is applicable if you are symptom-free and have reasonable confidence that you have not had exposure to COVID-19. Always follow the guidance of local government, health departments and your health care providers.
Visiting Public Spaces
Q: How can I practice social distancing in the workplace?
A: When possible, keeping about 6 feet of distance between yourself and others is key. It’s also important to practice other preventative measures such as washing hands, avoiding touching your face, coughing into your elbow and staying home if you feel sick. Depending on your job and your community’s situation, working from home may be an option. Always follow local guidance.
Q: How can my child practice social distancing at school or at college?
A: It’s important for people of all ages to follow preventative measures, including staying about 6 feet away from others, avoiding touching your face, washing your hands and coughing into your elbow. Many schools in the U.S. have postponed classes; it’s important to follow local guidance, as each community’s situation is unique.
Q: Should I be concerned about going to the grocery store?
A: In any place where large numbers of people gather, there is potential risk for disease transmission. When you visit the grocery store, keep about 6 feet between yourself and others and use prevention techniques like avoiding touching your face and washing your hands. If possible, visit the store at times when there are likely to be fewer people shopping.
Q: Should I take public transportation?
A: If you have the option, driving yourself, walking to work or working from home can help reduce the number of people who are using public transportation, which benefits you and your community. In any of these situations, it’s very important to keep distance between yourself and others in addition to practicing other preventative measures.
Q: Should I stop visiting restaurants and bars?
A: Avoiding public places as much as possible helps prevent diseases from spreading. If dining out is a non-essential activity, then it is generally in the best interest of you and your loved ones to avoid it. Always follow local guidance.
Q: Can I still go to the gym?
A: If you do go to the gym, wipe down and sanitize your equipment, keep distance between yourself and others, avoid touching other people and practice other preventative techniques. Alternatives could include exercising in your home or yard or walking through your neighborhood. Avoiding unnecessary visits to public spaces is important.
Q: What about events and places where many people gather, such as concerts, festivals, sporting events and churches?
A: Risk of disease transmission is much higher in large groups of people. Currently in North Carolina, meetings of over 100 people are prohibited in order to prevent COVID-19 from spreading rapidly. Avoiding these gatherings are generally in the best interest of protecting yourself, your loved ones and your community. Always follow local guidance.
Meeting with Others
Q: Should I stop visiting my elderly relatives and friends?
A: Older adults are at high risk of serious complications from COVID-19. Limiting their exposure as much as possible to those who may be sick or who may be carrying the disease is crucial. This is a great opportunity to try other methods of connecting, such as over the phone or through a video chat.
Q: What about social distancing with other people in my household?
A: Avoiding close contact within a household is almost impossible, and social distancing is mainly focused on large groups. However, if someone in your household is sick, it’s important to minimize close contact with them as much as is reasonable.
Q: Should I stop meeting up with 1 or 2 friends? Should I stop dating?
A: While meeting up with another person who also is symptom-free may be alright in some situations, keep in mind that risk of disease transmission is higher in public places. Now may be a good time to consider other methods of connecting with others, such as over the phone or through a video chat.
Q: Can I have a small group of my extended family and/or friends over to my house?
A: If possible, it’s best to postpone these kinds of gatherings and look for alternative ways to connect. Avoiding non-essential gatherings is important for preventing the spread of disease.
Q: Should my family and friends cancel big gathering events like weddings and birthday parties?
A: While it’s difficult to postpone important events like these, it’s also very important to protect our loved ones - especially our loved ones who are most vulnerable. If possible, it may be best to postpone or alter your plans. Currently in North Carolina, meetings of over 100 people are prohibited in order to prevent COVID-19 from spreading rapidly. Always follow local guidance.
Q: If I’m avoiding in-person gatherings, how can I stay connected to others?
A: There are many ways you can connect with friends: phone calls, text messages, emails and video chats are all great virtual options. While physical social distancing is important for our health, so is social interaction - trying alternative ways to stay connected is a good way to take care of your emotional health.
If You Are Experiencing Symptoms
Q: How should I approach social distancing if I start to feel sick?
A: If you begin to experience symptoms, it’s important to stay home and distance yourself from others. The length of a typical quarantine period is 14 days. Always follow the guidance of your health care providers and local government.
Q: Can I have visitors while I am in quarantine?
A: Having visitors should be avoided as much as possible. Quarantining is an important way to protect your loved ones and community from picking up the disease; visitors are at high risk of catching the illness from you.
Q: Can I go outside in my yard if I am in quarantine?
A: Depending on where you live and your community’s situation, going outside and getting some fresh air in your yard may be safe. Always follow the guidance of your health care providers and local government.

Having recently test driven the 2008 with 100 and 130hp, the 3008 with 130hp and the 155hp Puma... If you are after innovative exterior suv type design, more space (especially at the rear) and a rather neutral soft driving experience go for the 2008, if you demand any sense of thrill and joy out of driving, the Puma is your only option.
2008 Details
I would say that the 100hp 2008 was surprising as it had more pull than I expected and it was pretty decent in power delivery. Unfortunately the opposite was the case with the 130hp 2008, while there was a bit more power available it didn’t deliver that much extra pull or fun as I had expected. While the 2008 is very pleasant to drive, there is definitely no real thrill in either of the two engines. The 2008 exterior design is stunning, it is a joy look at, besides the flat triangle shape (the “rock” styling) on the sides, which never grew on me and kept on bugging me. The interior is very fresh and impressive, quite futuristic, to the level that at times it became slightly an over kill to my taste. Perhaps it is too aggressive in trying to impress inside the cabin, targeting more at the 20-30s age group. The 3008 is so much calmer and elegant and if the 2008 had followed that sort of interior styling I would be one step closer to choosing the 2008.
Puma Details
The Puma on the other hand has a nice interior but a rather neutral dash, no extra effort for design thrills there. One thing that actually bothered me was the blue color of the screens and the fact that the color of the middle screen cannot be customized and to a lesser degree the fact that it is not tilted towards the driver. However, while it is hard to explain, the interior of the Puma somehow feels like it’s put together in better way than the 2008, especially regarding things like buttons and switches they have a feeling of higher quality in their touch. Once you start driving the Puma, it offers such a nice feel, the engine, the gear box, the breaks, the steering and handling, it all gives you a big smile and i admit I ended up forgiving and forgetting the fact that Ford didn’t try as much to impress with the dashboard design.
Notes
Strangely enough as a tall person when the seat is high in the 2008 I got an obstructed view from the roof which meant I had to lower the seat to improve my field of view, which as a result gave me a lower driving position and less of an suv feel. In the puma I didn’t need to make such adjustments which actually made me feel like driving a taller car. The 2008 however does feel more like an Suv in terms of size, the long linear squared front and the lengthy rear seats and boot,in comparison to the Puma, which feels narrower and more compact. One last note of an odd detail of the 2008, the rev meter on the analog dashboard of the “active” model was reverse, meaning that when revving up the indicator went counter clockwise wise.
This was a very useful information to know ,thanks dude .
Which one is better 2008 or 3008 ?
@@music_lyrics depends.. on your needs and taste. There is not one correct answer to that question. I would go for the 3008 knowing I am going for a rather slow but spacious, comfortable car with a taller driving position and a bit more serious and calm interior design. At the same time I should clarify that I am in my late 30s with a family and a young child. If I was ten years younger without a child perhaps I would go for the 2008.
I've watched so many videos of this guy that i know when to skip 5 or 10 seconds when he starts talking about the pop-up banner in the right hand corner of the screen 🤣
Hello friend ! Good video! Do you think the 100hp version has a decent enough engine for city travel? Is there a big difference to the 130hp one?
Mat, upload some more RC car or Miata content on your channel! Amazing review as always
from an American perspective, this is probably one of the coolest cars I've seen I wish it was sold in the US
8:24 but what if I need to carry stuff in 2020?
Im split between this 2008 1.2 engine or a 2018 3008 with 1.2 engine. How much more space does the 3008 have in the backseat? And is the mpg in the 2008 better overall?
Wow Mats favourite in the segment. I think the Puma looks pretty good and probably a bit more fun to drive. But the exterior of the 2008 and especially the awesome interior smashes it. Was in to the GLA but for the price I think I might get the Peugeot instead.
Get my E2008 GT tomorrow ! Super excited 👍
How’s it been with the car? I’m getting one in July
I love that car one of the best interior I have ever seeng.
👍🏼
when can we get a ssangyoung tivoli review? would love to be able to compare it to the peugeot 2008, the skoda kamiq and the nissan juke
We watch your reviews because u enjoy while filming them and also make us to enjoy your reviews...so please make reviews that you used to make earlier in a continuous way without cutting the scenes
The idea of the steering wheel and cockpit is such that in stead of the a head up display, they've raised the dials up towards the windshield and uses a smaller sporty steering wheel that you are supposed to position lower above your legs so that you have a perfect view and your steering wheel doesn't obstruct the view of your dials.
Im quite tall, I've used it a lot and it works fine as intended. If you're stubborn and use it with the steering wheel up in stead of the intended use, that's fine but hey... read the manual before you complain about it to hundreds of thousands of people WITHOUT mentioning that you are simply ignoring their design.
I can understand that you PREFER a higher positioned steering wheel regardless, but moaning about it without mentioning why they've designed it like this and trying their intended approach, is a bit of a shame.
That's my opinion. Other than that, ace review!
And my wife is quite short and has to sit close to the wheel to reach the pedals. Which means she has to raise the wheel, thereby creating a blindspot for the instruments. That is the reason for us not buying a 3008 4 years ago when they came out and why we won't be buying a 2008 now we need a smaller car. I'm sure we're not alone. Would have made sense if the pinnacle could be raised.
Can u plz share what's the fuel average of Peugeot 2008
If this comes in the same blue as the 208..
I shall be ordering one when I am finally allowed to leave my house haha.
Yes I believe it does come in the same blue. Looks awesome in the flesh
It is called Vertigo Blue, mine is Pearlescent White also it looks really nice in Cummulus Grey.
Get the GT Line 1.2pt 130 bhp or the Allure with same engine, you won't be disappointed
Howdy, great review as always! This is a nice car!😸
Carwow and quarantine, best combination ever!😍😷😏
At 1:23 you can see the French quality with moist within the headlight. Peugeot heritage is still in their products.
French use a lot of lights design
Well, JD Power, in 2019, ranked Peugeot number one in terms of reliability. Check it out! www.am-online.com/news/market-insight/2019/05/08/peugeot-ranked-as-uk-s-most-reliable-car-brand-in-jd-power-survey
Them calling it 2008 sort of does my head in. In a couple of years people will be saying "i've got a 2020 2008" ?
I told my parents I was getting a 2008 in July. My mum said "That's a bit old isn't it?" Gave me a laugh that I had to explain that was the model name, not year
Really helping me make a decision on my next mobility car, was looking at these and now definitely want one, but it will have to be black though.
What is the 2017 model like? 🤔 thinking of getting one second hand.
