I bought one & have driven over 50k kms now. Verdict, I'll probably wont get my hands on the Japaneses anymore, this car is bonkers in many aspects. Super nimble, super torquey, super ergonomic (driving positions & hand placements), it really acts like a sports mini hatch while it is actually a normal daily-drive hatchback. When the City RS with 253Nm came out in 2021 i thought that car would finally overtake the Peugeot in terms of torque & takeoff power, but nah ive test driven the City RS and it is nowhere near Pug 208's 1.2L turbo engine. Like GC Mah said, it is even more powerful than the 1.8L Civic. Definitely no regret buying this car 💯
how about the maintenance and reliability? thinking of geting used one
I've got one, exactly the same colour actually, it's a fabulous car. It's a joy to drive and looks amazing. More than happy with it.
What year is the car and how many miles on it?
Is this car expensive to maintain? Hows the reliability? Thanks😍
@@oonminloong9929 it is more expensive than regular cars. If u using perodua, expect 3x the price, if u own honda jazz equivalent, then overall should b close to 2x price as mostly original parts..i see it more or less like bmw 3series f30 pricing on parts.
best review in malaysia and covers nearly all new cars. good job
The music is too loud compared to the comentary. please adjust it in the future. great videos all around
"You don't get the OMG handle" made me giggle
about time gc review cars that we can afford
GC does that all the time! :P
and the maintenance jeng jeng jeng.
yah, i always do that no? :P
If the fan is too loud, try switching to soft auto or auto instead of auto fast on the climate control, or just override it and change the fan speed manually, there are eight settings.
Thanks
This is my first time watching this guy video and i was really impressive.
I love this guy 💞
Adjust the volume please, why during speaking so soft while music so loud
Noted sir!
Exactly what I was thinking. Have to keep adjusting the volume throughout the video. From too loud a music to can’t hear what he was saying.
I have this car a 2017 puretech allure trim 5dr auto. The only features my car doesnt have is folding mirrors, nav, dual climate control but I dont mind not having them as i have apple car play to compensate but very nippy to drive and I feel safe in it.
good review.. music volume is just nice for me as I am watching from my home …… lol
Good review! ☺️
For aircond fan, that's the trademark of continental vehicles right?
Hi,can u make a video of perodua bezza please >< i would love to see it
GC Mah pls do a full review of the 2017 Mazda 6 2.5 plss
GC Mah, please review Peugeot 308 THP (T9)
Great choice of music Mah, thumbs up 😄
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Brett Kaiser instablaster ;)
The fan ventilation is so loud
You got a like for "the oh my God handle".
Can you review the 2017 Iriz Premium please?
Could you compare it with the Fiesta ecoboost since they are 3cylinder turbocharged hot hatch. And nice review btw.
KianHow NG did you manage to find what you think is better?
boss please i beg u do a jazz v spec review
Hello GC Mah, nice review as always, which one do you think is more fun, the 208 or the Mazda 2?
Jack Ma?? 😂
LOLOLOL i mean GC Mah, corrected
hey! well, both are fun in their own ways. u need to try them first to tell :)
208 GTI PLEASE
we had one, 2019 last batch in black colour, agree! its a very fun car to drive and very solid with premium feel for under rm100k! its also very powerful for its size and the cabin doesnt feel cramped, only thing it could be better with more features…
i got the 2019 last batch too in the Atomic Orange! Agree with your comment
@@imrannaim5234very true, we also at the same time had an 2010 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSi turbo with DSG… both are Just fun car to drive
why you sold the car??
Kia Picanto also not bad, looks cute and sporty!
Please do a full review for the all new hyundai elantro turbo
stay tuned!
Hi there i got 2017 peugeot 208 1.2 turbo petrol
Recently i realised that my car is shaking while engine runs , two days ago it was shaking while engine run with ac, today its shaking while engine run with and without ac. Tachometer is holding on 900rpm and jumps every couple of seconds to about 1k rpm and then coming back to normal. Its happening on warm or either cold engine. Im about 38,000 km before service. Wondering what that could be?
did anyone face the same issue like me and got an solution for this?
Does the radiator fan sound is louder than the one in Proton?
Yes, according to GC's reply in the above under Myusoff Amanan's comment.
Yes it's .......the loudest in the market ....... I always know my wife is back home before even she arrive.
KIA Picanto looks good as well!
GC please review new peugeot 3008 suv 2017 ..thank you
yes we will! :)
Great review :-))
thanks! :)
not as good as Mat Watson though
I'm debating between a VW polo and the Peugeot 208, which one would you recommend?
ford fiesta with a stick shift
we had both previously, 2011 Polo 1.2 TSi with DSG and 2019 208 1.2 Turbo, both are great cars with impressive handling and solid feel, sold off the Polo last year as its already 11 years and change to Ativa AV, still keeping the 208…
@@jasonkok9942 any major issue with the 208 so far? thinking of getting used one...
greetings from estonia
GC could you do the 208's brother, the 2008.
Probably? :D Just stay tuned to our channel!
Thanks bro
2008 review is up! :)
Durability wise is it okay? I fell in love with this car after tested drive it one.
Mohd Aiman Ahmad Hamidi Can't say much about reliability as I only received mine a week ago. But it's frickin fun to drive! 2 major downside that I noticed:
1. The aircond fan is too loud. Especially when you're outside.
2. The engine start/stop function is not smooth enough. There's a slight juddering everytime u release the brake.
How does it compare with 1.6 2017 Proton Iriz? Especially in terms of handling.
they are both very different when it comes to handling. Proton needs to be more Peugeot ;)
Iriz is not Peugeots competitor bc Peugeots level are way higher even compared to Honda and Toyota
Is Peugeot 208's maintenance cost and cost of spare parts are high compared to local brands?
Big difference,i had studied it. Considering each 10k mileage, new Myvi ~RM220 vs 208 puretech ~RM580. Thou size may seem smaller or same segment but definitely different class by itself.
@@wbtoo6945 Thanks a lot for the response. Much appreciated. I was hoping to buy a 208, but now I need to do more research
@@tuansherwynhamidon9687, thou is expensive, but the engine on such small car is really a sport car. I tested an SUV paired with same engine with 400KG+ xtra. The car still move fast easily to 140kph no sweat. It comes with a price.
@@wbtoo6945 worth the extra cost I guess. How about if we compare it with the new Kia picanto?
@@tuansherwynhamidon9687 , i have no idea. I never window shop into KIA showroom before. Sorry Hahah can't give you information.
how reliable is Peugeot cars these days? Been hearing bad stories on Pug & VW cars. If not lucky, then might have to spend more time at SC and if after warranty is over, the cost to replace even the wire harness is like RM15k if i am not mistaken. Or Peugeot has iron out ALL of its engine issues with this PureTech model?
we have being owning this 208 over 4 years… no issue other than wear and tear
Why Matthew quit autobuzz and went to pualtan
who's pualtan
Pualtan.org
Come on, normalize the music volume. People have been commenting about this issue since many videos ago...
i believe we have found the problem and all our news videos should be ok now! thanks for the feedback!
7:46 As a Peugeot owner, I lol'ed
Which model do you own? and how's the after sales experience and overall reliability of your car?
WHyyy
hi. i own a 2008 and I'm liking it. service and maintenance is superb. plus got a 5 year warranty and service.
Is golf also considered as a boring mainstream hatchback? 😂
one tank run 1190km? wow, that's something.
VacancyJB on paper of course. Try to match it in real life. You will drive slower than granny honestly
The very same engine on bmw and mini?
nope, not anymore. it was Prince engine (4-cylinder) that they shared previously.
AutoBuzz.my Oh. Tqvm
Lawa jugak tapi Kia Picanto nak keluar dah lah. Tunggu Kia Picanto lah.
When you do 208 then please don't miss out 2008 too
You're right! ;)
don't miss out the 2008 on our channel! ;)
Decent informative video..BUT THE MUSIC IS SO ANNOYING THAT I DIDNT FINISH WATCHING THE ENTIRE FILM..
I have a friend who was driving a 308 THP and I can say he doesn't has a nice experience with it.
Howard Tan Yes he doesnt has yaa 🤢
Review the new 3008 please!
But 3008 not launched yet no?
yea technically not I guess, but is open for booking
Surely! After it's officially launched of course :)
After so long finally got a used unit. The engine indeed is so punchy. Don't fool by 112HP, the torque 205Nm it produced can easily overtake any car. With such power it does give good FC on highway 18.8kml running 120-140kph. If slower running 100kmh, is wrriten 22.4kml fc. That is impressive. City running is not impressive only 11.8kml. That is why hybrid overall more efficient. However being peugeot spare parts r expensive. We r talking about bmw f30 pricing.
hi im eyeing myself on one. any common issues that i need to be prepared with?
@@THEiUsop Common issue 1, Peugeot is very sensitive car, those fault lights will haunt you always even in minor issue. That said you really need a Peugeot specialist to work on your car. Outside a lot can't fix it easily. Finding the issue sometimes specialist may need few days to identify it. Prepare for 2nd car use when that happens.
Common Issue 2, puretech engine is designed where Timing belt running in wet condition that swimming with Engine Oil. Therefore replacing Timing Belt 80k mileage is mandatory, else there will be clogged inside the engine. You do not want that happen or ur engine will die. So far other than these, all good.
I am also eyeing one to buy and I want to ask, How much money should I keep on the side for repairs?@@wbtoo6945
@@wbtoo6945has Peugeot done recall for the engine belts in Malaysia? I know overseas there has been 3 recalls, replacing with newer better belt. Before they gave up on it and switched back to dry with their newer cars
Spare part issue all the time. Service center like unprofessional and like snail. They promise warranty during purchase but give all sort of reasons during claim. I'm using 408...issues since purchase. Priced nearly to 100k but only after 3 years 8 months, resale value at 18k...if you think I lie, check reviews and Peugeot owner feedback. Also check 508 and 308 second hand value. Then you'll know how much this car will be have resale value after 3 years
you talked too soft and the music is way too loud
Thanks for the feedback! we will look into that
Yes.. I'm driving a 208 jet fighter... Lol
Compared to that of Proton, which one is louder? Or are both the same?
208 is louder!
Thanks. Logically, looking at the amount that I paid for a Proton, how can I deserve a jet fighter then? XP
What is your opinion on the car after a year use sir?
Used to own the previous gen , that the after sales service is like fcuk , and the car previous gearbox is shit (claim the gearbox twice which cost them RM20k each time) , and it not what u call reliable (every time claim warranty need wait long time) , and that maintenance fees ......
But it's a nice car to drive
Peugeot is way better than honda and toyota. Not even performance and handling, but also the build quality 👍🏻
Izan Saad too bad european is not suitable drive in malaysia... car quality is good but they build according to their country... resale value is not a concern becoz no used car dealer wan the car or give the price very low
Jayden Tan i wont deny the resale value, but i dont even concern bout the resale value because i tend to keep my cars. Im not sure with your statement that says Europe cars are not suitable here in Asia because, technically cars are built to be driven on the road and basically everywhere is the same sir but i believe there are some particular reasons made you said so. Honestly i would prefer Europe cars still especially Peugeot because its worth buying than buying Japanese cars
Izan Saad too much problem la air cond slow to cold... gearbox problem n service maintenance spare part very expensive... the time I buy also think like u.. I buy car to drive not to resale mah but after I found out the problem then I regret
Jayden Tan i see.. well sir i do respect what u been experiencing which it sounds to be a bit odd to experience that. Luckily mine is still running fine, i been using Peugeots right from the previous 308 turbo, then 3008 suv n the latest one is the brand new 308 THP. Personally i think they are stunning which the reliability is super great so far unlike the Mercedes, it needs better care 😂 basically this is my sharing bout using Peugeots and they are extremely fine to run but peoples have their own preferences thou and i myself preferring Peugeots. I believe that u switched to Japanese cars now sir
Jayden
I would rather get a Myvi...
Ammar Anas go ahead then. I’m sure it won performance engine for 3 consecutive years.. oh wait
still x boleh lawan Kia Picanto...sbb Picanto has a Great design, sure great spec inside. kereta idaman betul!
design tu sesuatu yg subJective, tp Picanto lbh kecil…
Hi
Hyundai Elantra 1.6 Turbo please 😁
on the way! on the way!
Please compare Elantra with Kia Cerato and, perhaps, Mazda3 as well. XP
The fuel consumption is a complete lie. It's about 7liters per 100km on the highway
6:54 Honda Fanboy triggered
😂
And a cvt tries so hard to climb the genting road hahaha
I just drove one of my friend 208 1.2 puretech.. very underpower.. super loud engine rpm sound pitch when reach 90kmh on gear 3.. and noisy air con fan.... i cant tolerate. Other than that...handling is good comfort is good. Sorry la fiesta 1.0 ecoboost is still far better except the transmission a bit jerky on slow speed
The Ecoboost is only 1.0 but cost over 90k. What a waste of money plus the god awful interior quality. I have the 208 puretech 1.2 turbo and no issues (use the settings to fix the air cond). The power delivery is very linear. Stop bad mouthing the product.
@@AmirChemE i agree with you fiesta interior is not good. The air con is just slighly less noisy than 208. Dont get me wrong 208 handling and comfort good as well. Performance wise i pick fiesta. Last time i clock 0 to 100 around 9.4sec. Quite fast for 1.0 cc engine. Transmission is bit jerky on slow speed especially traffic jam.
@@AmirChemE bro u pkai 208 puretech ok tk,ada prob tk.i bru nk ambik..
I have heard engine noise from Peugeot car. Yes, it sound really like a jet.
amad faisal not sure about the new ones, the old ones? Hui, you can hear it from 20m away
sound like benz raidator fan hhahah
Nice but Kia Picanto more sexy
music combination is not susccful
It's ok but i dont like this brand car
Get rid of the stupid music.
