| Answer to: Peugeot 5008 GT Sport | 20Relevance | 3 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They’re asking over 50 grand for a used Peugeot? It’s an inexpensive car based on cheap European compacts… no reason to buy one for THAT much. That’s more than a brand new Lexus UX200 (a luxury SUV version of the Toyota Corolla / CHR / Corolla Cross) This is the PSA Prince, Aka BMW N12/N14/N18 and it has a… reputation. I herd “every mechanic wishes to have a client with an EP6!” once, but that refers mainly to the early versions that were just horrid. The later versions of this engine have been better - yet not great by any stretch of the imagination. Here’s a video on the improved naturally aspirated version (use captions for English, might include profanity) And as you can see, it’s really not great at all. back in the day these were known for leaking absolutely everywhere, so bad that it could short out wiring (I mean it’s French wiring so sometimes it would do that just for fun anyways) I also remember plastic thermostat housings, plastic belt tensioners and a lot more crap that would brake constantly. I do not know if they have remedied all those issues from the early 2010s. I wouldn’t expect one of these to run for over 200,000km with good maintenance - so if you drive a lot, it’s a pass. It is a 4 cylinder with direct injection and a big turbo strapped onto it… What I’m concerned about is wether anyone knows how to diagnose and repair a Peugeot properly in Australia. Although it’s pretty much just a BMW N14/N18 turbo - the kind of engine you’d find in a Mini… The diesel is the engine to go for. Posted by: @sparerib surely the Peugeot wouldn't be the only car manufacturer using it. it’s your standard Toyota 8 speed FWD tranny. Toyota uses a variation of it on the Camry, RAV4 and Highlander - you can find a few cases of these failing at new / around 100,000 miles. They do need an additional transmission cooler. Volvo also used these and they were fine, well shifting, smooth, sporty - it’s decent. | |||||

| ... cars always do it - as it seems there's just a defect with some units but VW refuses to acknowledge that it's not "just software". - As far as the diesels, although European diesels tend to be better than their petrols - it's still an overly complex motor with lots of emissions tech strapped to it. But generally, similar to the VW DSG, Diesels also aren't for lots of city driving or for sitting in traffic jams. - The Peugeot has issues with the NOx filters, but the engine overall tends to be solid, and so is the transmission. It's not as good as PSA diesels ... | |||||

| @dan I’m still looking for a 7 seater SUV and couldn’t find a decent one. So the current options are Skoda Kodiaq/Kia Sorento/VW Tiguan allspace, all brand new petrol versions. I see you recommended the diesel versions of Kodiaq/5008 but I don’t drive enough mileage to justify it IMO. Also diesel is much less popular here. So WDYT? Is the petrol Kodiaq worth it? BTW also the new Mitsubishi Outlander was an option but the Kodiaq is better for me because I need to install 3 safety seats in the second row and it is wider. | |||||
| Answer to: 4 cylinder minivan power | 19Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Even 3 cylinder mini-vans / 7 seaters have enough power.(Although it’s not available on the US market) The Citroën SpaceTourer and Peugeot 5008 do 0-60 MPH in 9~9.3 seconds - it’s not fast or sporty but it’s about the same performance as a 2000’s Honda CR-V and only slightly slower then a 1.8L Corolla. - I agree, the sienna 6 cyl NA is a solid choice. Although when shopping new - the improved 8 speeds seems to be better then the old 6 speed. But both transmissions should be fine if you drive in a reasonable manner and change the fluid frequently. | |||||

| Uhhhh… it’s not funny also cause Toyota nowadays went so far downhill that I don’t even recommend their cars anymore. The 2022 LandCruiser 2.8 is less reliable then a Peugeot 5008. These 2.8L new Toyota engines are the devil. | |||||

| ... it and it'll need it. There's a reason why only after 3 years it's worth less than a Corolla. As far as the Honda CRV - again, bad injectors, oil dilution, at best a mediocre CVT, and no one to fix it. I actually can not recommend any new 7 seater, all of them are not 'great at' best. If I'd have a gun to my head and the bullet wouldn't be an option, and I'd have to get a 7 seater SUV it'd be a Peugeot 5008 diesel or a Skoda Kodiaq diesel. The Skoda has a DSG and it's generally troublesome, and the Peugeot is not as bad as most but it's still ... | |||||

| ... is a reliable source, consumer reports tries to be honest but their predictions tends to be very inaccurate. Well, in NA there were never really any amazing minivans (like the Grand C4 SpaceTourer) And there aren't any efficient inexpensive SUVs that perform like Minivans (like the 2nd generation 5008) If you need the 7 seats? try to find a used Sienna... If you don't need that many seats, I'd add a bit and get a new CH-R or a Corolla Cross - both are awesome cars. | |||||

| ... of it's internals with the best cars out there. Although the 2.4L engine did have excessive engine oil consumption issues only in the first years of production, it often came with a SUPER-CVT-i transmission. These K1XX units have a negative reputation, but they aren't that bad. The V6 Previa can be an excellent van, the Hybrid Previa is as good as hybrids get, but the 2.4L Previa seems quite weak, but first I'd ask local mechanics for their opinion on the matter, maybe in recent years this powertrain became not as bad as this powertrain used to b ... | |||||

| This is kind of a part 2 to a previous post. (link: Once I got it here, I replaced the battery and cleaned the spark plugs, made sure I had spark, put gas in it and tried once again to get it running. The starter cranks endlessly and constantly sounds like it is a dying battery. I know that the timing is messed up, but the only time I was able to get it to run I couldn't adjust the timing and the car died. When I did get it running it sounded like the timing is off. It also doesn't idle I have to keep it floored or it dies. After that I tried and tried for about 3hrs trying to get it to turn over but it just wouldn't. Any advice would help. Thank you! | |||||

| Posted by: @itwt Maybe @dan has something to add for both the vehicles you’re considering. Diesel? What generation? If it's a 2nd generation 2.0L diesel, then it's fine, a very durable engine - the main thing to watch out for is issues with the Bosch fuel system. As far the transmission, it's a small transverse 6 speed automatic mated to a very torquey engine - constant ATF replacements and moderate driving are absolutely required. As good as the 6 speed is, It is not a good transmission for 4x4 use cases. Another good engine - but it is more problematic and it's NOT bulletproof. Same for the transmission, Although it's a decent unit - it's arguably worse than the X-Trail's 6 speed auto, Extensive off-road use or infrequent ATF changes lead to severe internal issues - but for some people it can last a lot more. It's a difficult choice, it mainly comes down to the 7 year age difference and to the Nissan being early Renault-Nissan product when quality was questionable and had a lot of variance and this generation of the diesel Sorento being not as bulletproof as a diesel should be. I'd go with wether one seems to be in better condition. | |||||

| If you’re okay with diesel vehicles, search for a Fortuner or Pajero. They have a reputation of being indestructible. You’d want to do thorough research before you buy a vehicle. Ask around the local mechanics if they can (and are willing to) work on the vehicle you’re planning to purchase. As with any used vehicle, have it thoroughly inspected by a professional mechanic, before purchase. Maybe @dan has something to add for both the vehicles you’re considering. All the best! | |||||
