Hi there to all
Thought i would pass on a few views on my new 65 plate 1.6 bluehdi 120 allure model in nimbus grey, which i bought from robins and day sheffield south branch who i can highly recommend ross fletchergave me a very fair and excellent p/ deal was delighted.
Im a big peugeot diesel fan having run a 308 110 hdi sport for 3 trouble free years and prior to my 2008 running a citroen ds4 with the superb 2.0 peugeot diesel engine we also have a 208 and a 3008 in the family < daughters>
So as a peugeot lover i find my self supprised to be finding my self underwhelmed so far by my beautiful looking 2008 and am hoping some of you experienced owners may be able to reassure me my experience will improve
My main concern been the economy figures having run my citroen ds4 2.0 160 bhp for 2.5 years my average over 38000 miles were 47.0 mpg
So far in the pug only done 500 miles so far am only averaging 49.5 and even driving like a nun cant get it to go over 51.3 so obviously i am very unhappy about these figures as i thought i was going to get a big improvement on the 2.0 ds4
Also engine refinement is terrible compared to the 2.0 it sounds like a tractor!
Other fault is will have to go back to dealer about the drivers seat which has a terrible sqeak/ creaking noise driving me nuts!
Has anyone else had this problem ? And more important is it fixable ?
It sounds like a long moaning session as i do like the car really and hope to come to love it but it also has some serious bad desivn issues
Cup holders a joke
Hand brake design terrible they could have made it fantastic by having the electronic hand brake as in other peugeotsand citroens this would also have given space for a proper console with cupholders and an armrest
Other design flaws are when opening doors from inside no recess slot to hold the door open ?? Our 208 has them
And finally boot openinig button very awkward and v.heavy to lift door open and boot cover lid would be better as a pull out version.
So after all those gripes am hoping in a couple of years time am going to be singing its praises
Regards steve
