Thinking of buying Peugeot 3008 2017

Probably my only regret not going for the Auto

Optional Extra I do believe on GT Line,

Picked up mine last week and I'm loving it. Just 2 odd things though - wondering if any of the rest of you have come across them. Every time I start the car, the dashboard also shows a red seat-belt indicator and the seat-belt indicator by the roof shows the 3 back seats as having not having the seat-belts plugged in but no-ones sitting in the seats, and nothing else is on them; even happens when I don't open the back doors.

Yep - that's by design. The occupancy sensors are only in the front seats.

And second, the option to automatically set the time/date via gps wont set the correct time, it doesn't seem to be adjusting for daylight savings at all. Anyone got any ideas?

Did you set the Irish Time Zone? It might be on French one...

Ah right, I was wondering if that might be the case but it seems strange to me as it's basically training me to ignore that indicator altogether. Grand now if I don't have passengers but not so good if I'm driving anyone somewhere.

It's not that bad. You notice when you have the passengers. And it starts beeping when someone disconnects the belt...

Bit of a bummer that the allure has no sat nav. (Not a smartphone user).

I bought a new 3008 GT-Line 1.2 auto a few weeks ago. I generally love the car but there’s a serious amount of wind noise coming in around the doors/windows, and possibly the sunroof. It’s noticeable from 40km/h and is intolerable on the motorway. I’ve driven 6 or 7 different 3008s as rental cars over the last year and never noticed any wind noise at all.

It’s booked into the dealer next week to investigate, but I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience that got rectified.

Just ordered the 1.2 GT line auto, metallic, satnav, electric tailgate and grip control.

Got the satnav because i think otherwise the HUD is pointless (just spinning dials, fun but pointless) and the centre console is overworked (radio, climate etc.). Got grip control for the 3 days a year when we get snowed in (worth it for €300) and the electric tailgate just because its cool.

Can't wait.

Congratulations! If you have time add the heated front seats as well, they are great value.

Yes I'm enjoying the new wheels alright. I got the 1.2 petrol automatic and the engine in it seems to be great. I honestly cant tell the difference from the 1.799 I had before and I've had no issues in terms of power on take off so I'm well impressed with that. Petrol consumption, I've had it now for 2 weeks and in that time I did ~560km on the first tank of petrol. Not sure how that rates really, it was a mixture of motorway driving and commuting to/from work with the air-conditioning going full blast.

Hi John

Now as it been good few months with your new car, how do you find her fuel economy and engine power . i am planning get mine changed to 1.2 automatic. currently i am getting fuel consumption of 8.4L/100km(air condition Off) on my 1.2 manual . i drive around a semi urban area.

Hello, still loving it and engine power still impresses me so that's all good. All my driving these days is in traffic where its move forward 1 foot then stop, move forward 1 foot and stop etc. so fuel economy is gone to crap but I'm still spending less on petrol than my last car so it's still a plus. Last 3800kms average 10.6L/100km. I do disable the start/stop function though as it's just constant with my commute and was starting to annoy me. Only thing that bugs me is that has to be done each time you start the engine rather than being able to set it as the default.

For anyone who is having issues with Apple car play and the radio on the car, you can update the firmware here:

https://www.peugeot.ie/service-and-accessories/online-services/map-system-updates.html

Since I updated mine, Apple car play has been superb

From your link, is this a map update or a firmware update? When I put in my VIN the heading on the next page says Navigation System Update.

3 months in and loving my 3008 gt line 1.2 automatic. Android auto compatible with my new phone an added bonus. Engine power is great, very enjoyable drive for the mileage I do. Electric kick tail gate is the bomb and the electric seats are coming in handy as the morning temps drop.

Only "negatives" are you can't use the centre console to control temp until I have completed reverse and move away. Wife hates the 30 sec blast of cold air from yesterdays cool setting you can't shut off immediately. Also the radio loses "national" stations (today fm!) soon after leaving populated areas; my old qashqai never had this issue. The good thing is that AAuto comes with spotify!

Hi guys,

After reading alot of positive things about 3008, I have decided to buy GT line 1.2 petrol 2019 car. It surely looks amazing. From outside it's very elegant and from.inside it feels like you are sitting in something very good. However I noticed that it didn't have a built in SAT NAV. My question is did any of you guys get the inbuilt sat nav installed after the car was bought? I asked my dealer twice and he dodged the question twice by saying it has apple car play and android auto. But just out of curiosity did anyone recently installed SAT NAV in their 3008 cars?

It would be prohibitively expensive, while phone based navigation will be more up-to-date and more intelligt.
