What we like:

Sharp handling for its bulk. Practical and spacious inside. Refined and good interior quality.

What we dislike:

ETG gearbox takes time to get used to.

To the sensible people who buy MPVs, the Peugeot 5008 is a winner. It is a genuinely good people-carrier especially with its versatile and comfortable interior. A frugal engine with start-stop feature keeps running costs low.

While the 5008 may not be fast and the gearbox slightly frustrating, the car can still be rewarding to drive albeit with the proper technique.

Earning a 5/5 Euro NCAP rating coupled competitive price due to its CAT A COE, it is perhaps one of the best compact MPVs out there and a credible competitor to the strong-selling Volkswagen Touran diesel.
