Peugeot 5008 SUV GT Line 1.2 PureTech 130 EAT8 auto S&S 5d Owner Review

Ok I admit it, French cars aren't that bad after all. Yes I said it once, never buying a French motor again, blah, electronics are lousy, blah, blah. Pleasantly surprised 1 year down the road. Liked the style in and out and swayed by online car reviews, plus decent finance. I've had 5 up, big dog in the boot and roof box touring the East of England, 1.2L petrol engine and 8 speed auto box hardly batted an eyelid. Ok, we've had the occasional electronic odd moment but for the large part, very impressed with this car. Save for the courtesy lights in rows 2 and 3 which are pathetic, and voice recognition ain't great. The view through the boot area is too small, 'A' pillar visibility could be a little better but overall, driving position and comfort levels are very good. Leather seats have stood up well to a year of family use, although row 2 centre back rest won't lay flat, no matter what I do. Row 3 seats ain't too bad. My S-Max had better cubby holes but was a lot hungrier. So overall 8.5/10 and I would recommend serious consideration.
