Has anyone got the Peugeot 5008 1.2 auto petrol , or can just give me advice. I’m worried it might be under powered for the size or if fully loaded, this is the latest model I’m used to driving a diesel . Many thanks

Hi,

I can’t help with make of car, but I went from a diesel sharan, to a petrol one 1.4 same bhp as 2 litre. Had the car for 4 months and it’s so far cost me £690 in petrol to run, I would seriously consider the weight of the car too. Give me back my dirty diesel is what I say.

I might now have to leave the scheme because I can’t afford to Chuck away £700 every four months for driving my disabled son to school which is just 55 miles a day and a shopping trip every Monday.

also check the internet on mpg for Peugeot 5008, the figure they say you get, and what people say you actually get.

I have a 1.2 manual Allure Premium. I have three children between 6 and 12. I also have a 34kg guide dog. So I don’t do the driving but I pick the cars as the wife has no interest or knowledge of cars. We recently went away for half term, the car was reasonably loaded up and it was no issue at 70mph on the motorway.

We used to have a 1.4tsi Touran which had more power and torque but also weighed around 150kg more so when it comes to power to weight ratio they are near identical.

Fuel consumption can be high but depends on annual mileage. We do around 5k so wouldn’t consider a diesel.

Whatcar rates the 1.2 as there pick of the range. There are lots of good youtube reviews  to check out.
