I own a 2020 GT Diesel 3008 It would have to be the best SUV I've owned. The car just doesn't let you down from reliability to ride comfort and economy. The 3008 is a real head turner especially amongst other SUV owners. The ride comfort is second to none especially when on long trips you arrive fresh and with out fatigue. The build quality is spot on and interior is by far the best in its class. Do yourself a favour and give it a test drive if you're in the market for a SUV.

Comprehensive review Tom. Not sure if you found the same but I'm at 194cm in height and i found the steering wheel far too low at maximum height adjustment. It also forced me to sit in a slouched position to be comfortable. Top of the wheel also blocked part of the dash. Car drove well with quite a nice exhaust note.

I really like the look of the 3008, only reason why I wouldn't buy this is the repair costs and parts. So expensive.

I've owned peugeots and citroens, I love French cars, but it's always been a hassle with getting parts in Australia (wait time and cost). My last two French cars were great to drive, comfortable and very reliable (luckily) so only had parts issues due to a broken windscreen. However, there are very few dealers around so you're usually stuck with servicing through just the one dealer. If that dealer is not helpful you may have a problem. And getting supply of new vehicles has always been tricky. I still love my French cars though.

The cruise control flicks from either constant speed or maximum speed. Constant speed can be controlled and switched by plus and minus keys on the back of the stalk. Max speed switched on by the button on the end of the stalk. However, you can still set the max speed you want, before you switch the limiter on. It becomes second nature after a few goes.
