I just want to say look for MANDY LAW if u want to buy a Peugeot. She exceeds expectations. I’ve bought cars from various AD, none delight me as much as MANDY LAW - 9858 3161.

Hi M4J,

 

How was the ride?

Any reviews?

 

Cheers,

HC

Comfortable, relaxing, quiet, easy to drive, spacious, ride high above the rest. Futuristic interior, no other cars in its class comes close. Go and try it youslf !! The 1.2L engine is also used by 5008, Citroen Grand Picasso, Opel Grandland X. Very smooth refined engine. Good thing is 1.2L puts it in CAT A.

 

5008 longer wheelbase makes it even more comfortable than 3008. But 3008 is already quite comfy.

Oh I see, fantastic. 

Enjoy your ride.

Hey HC,

 

The ride is great! the 1.2l engine really does punch above its own weight. The acceleration is pretty smooth too so you dont feel like you're stressing the engine much as you get up to speed. Previous ride was a Toyota Wish and you can instantly tell the difference between this and a CVT gearbox. Ride quality is very smooth, with minimal road noise - I think they did a good job with their noise insulation. 

The 1.2 is really good despite the smaller displacement.

Enjoy the ride.

Congrats! I would have chosen white if not for the open space car park that I need to go. White looks really good on the car, it contrast the black strip of brake lights elegantly and the front chrome looks very class on white. During Jan-18 motor show, every peugeot on display was white colour.

 

U might want to protect the glossy look with ceramic paint protection. I’ve been searching for good ceramic protection.

Originally we(wife and I) booked Amazonite Grey, when we saw it in the showroom, but when we saw one on the road it looked more kakhi Green?. We changed our mind and opted for White instead. No offence to any one who has gone with the color, we found the color too "corporate".

 

Yeah getting ceramic coating done soon. Already got bombed by our neighborhood pigeons. I park in an open carpark too.

Can you share which grooming workshop you've chosen?  

 

After much searching, I narrow down to 3 workshops:  Ceramic PRO / Revol / Tough Guard.

 

I can see from photos 1 of them stand out in terms of gloss wet look .......in my personal opinion.

I wanted to top up initially but they insisted to me that eventually all will get coe by 6 bids for sure. No need waste money. I quote from my salesperson.

Agree with you. White was my first choice as well but it was sold out and AF only takes order for ex-stocks.

 

 

May I know has anyone changed their stock rims to aftermarket ones? 

[benbean]

Heard from SE, the current (feb) batch comes with factory fitted rear camera. It can do simulated 360 view. The next batch rear camera will be locally fitted and comes with 1 year warranty only.

How would I know when the turbo kick in? I thought for turbo after certain rev there's a surge in the pick up but didn't really feel it so far.

Hihi,

 

Just want to ask, will changing the audio system void the warranty in any way? I won't expect that the speaker warranty will still be valid, but worried that the entire ICE system warranty is void. I got the 5008 but my SE was very non-committal on this and audio upgrades (and maybe an aftermarket 360 camera) is on my wish list but not sure how these would affect the warranty.

 

 

Hello, just thot I post my 2 cents worth on Peugeot. I have been driving this brand for more than 20 years so I do know a little bit about these cars.  First there are workshops like ANTZ that can repair these cars if you don't want AF to do it. ANTZ does a good job and the team are all ex-AF. As for spare parts, many manufacturers uses common components. In the 3008 the gearbox and AC are Japanese.

 

Placed an order of the 3008 in Feb and only collected the car in Oct. There is a worldwide production shortage as factory cannot cope with demand. Wanted the GT Line but offered only the Allure. Chose the 1.2 over the 1.6THP as I driven the 508 1.6THP for the last 6 years. The 1.2 having only 3 cylinder revs better than the 4 cylinder 1.6. It also sounds better (quieter too).

 

After driving for 1 month, believe my decision on the 1.2  over the 1.6 was right (p.s. the 1.6 suffer from turbo oil pipe leak and I changed this twice. others also have similar experiences ( a $500+ repair bill). The engine mountings also need attention every 50,000 KM.

 

Back to the 3008 1.2  Allure. After 1 week of driving, rattle from left front door and a clicking sound when turning steering during parking. Took it back to AF and they confirm this needed fixing. Changed "comms" device for the steering and attempted to fix rattle. Also replaced the AC condenser as they one from the factory wasn't suitable for the tropics. No big issue and all attended to without fuss.

 

Also applied "glass coating" the very next day after collecting car. This was done at Artdeshine Toa Payoh Lor 6 SPC petrol station. Victor (90290720) does a great job at a very reasonable price. With all the rain these days, the coating is keeping the car paintwork really nice. I recommend this treatment and has done this for my last 2 Peugeot.

 

Since the rattle didn't really get fixed, I thot I fix it while I upgraded the sound system. The original speakers are pretty lousy with only 6 speakers (China made very low cost light weight component).  After opening the door panel, which was a real pain to do, the cause of the rattle was evident, there was what look like an LED light control box on the left door (see picture) that rattle occasionally. Sound insulated both front doors (double layers). Swap the cheapo speakers out and installed a pair of RS Audio (German) component speakers in the front and a full range single speaker for each rear door. This made a world of difference to the music. Work done by Fred at Soundflux 97813868. If u enjoy your music, seriously consider this investment. Next assignment, install a power tailgate. (p.s. don't consider the locally installed blind spot monitoring offered by AF, really dump device and totally useless. lights up all the time, it cannot tell a moving object from a stationery).soundproof3008.jpg
