Peugeot 3008 (2009 - 2016) 2.0 e-HDi Hybrid4 Limited Edition 5d EGC (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I think more about practicality and economy than looking flash.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone I know likes the car and is surprised by the acceleration, cornering and the comfort.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably, as it is a good compromise between practical and fun, although on the expensive side.

I'd really like to be able to afford the new hybrid Volvo V60, but more likely to be a second hand Audi A6 Avant.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

May 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Company car tax.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

The car corners extremely well, with good acceleration throughout the range. Pulling away is a pleasure with the transition from electric to diesel seamless. Economy on a run is 60 mpg, but less than the claimed mpg. Road noise is minimal, very comfortable to drive distances. Braking is effective and progressive.

What's it like to park?

Parking is made easier with the reversing sensors, although the width can be an issue in some multistory car parks. The turning circle is good and has never been a problem when manoeuvring.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong.

What's most practical about your car?

Space, boot loading.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sport mode transmission.
