Whilst the 1.2 auto has nothing but good reviews I've seen at least three giving the thumbs down to the 1.6 petrol auto. In light of this I'd be very interested to hear the views of those who have one.
It would be nice to read those reviews. Do you have links? :thumb:Whilst the 1.2 auto has nothing but good reviews I've seen at least three giving the thumbs down to the 1.6 petrol auto. In light of this I'd be very interested to hear the views of those who have one.
I had the opportunity in test driving both the 1.2 & 1.6 Auto engines.Here's the last I read:
Peugeot 3008 review: A tech-tastic crossover that's sure to Allure - Pocket-lint
The other two were on Youtube although I can't recall which ones.
I should have said that the common theme seems to be the engine/auto gearbox combination which they say is noisy and jerky.
Absolutely brilliant Jill and shows one of the strengths of the 1.2Managed 52.4 mpg - 53.8 miles for the 1.2 petrol :thumb:
No, it's Amazonite grey, (has a tint of green in it), Nimbus grey is only available for GT or GT Line.Is that Nimbus grey in that article? It looks very smart.
Thank you, I'm liking the look of that.No, it's Amazonite grey, (has a tint of green in it), Nimbus grey is only available for GT or GT Line.
Ah, after reading that, it's not the engine that is the problem. It's the auto gearbox and the 1,6 only comes with the EAT6.Here's the last I read:

Incorrectly states that iCockpits only comes on upper models.. No - it's standard across all. Including the one I drive.Here's the last I read:

It's the 1.2 Auto that is EAT6. The 1.6 Auto is e-THP.Ah, after reading that, it's not the engine that is the problem. It's the auto gearbox and the 1,6 only comes with the EAT6.
THP is the branding of the engine, not the gearboxIt's the 1.2 Auto that is EAT6. The 1.6 Auto is e-THP.![]()
The 'e' in my 2008 indicated automatic engine off and coasting below 20kph.....reduced fuel consumption/emissions.THP is the branding of the engine, not the gearboxI think it stands for Turbo High Pressure (sounds like Jeremy Clarkson made that up :lol: ). I could not find relevant information on the UK website of Peugeot, but the Norwegian Peugeot website states that the 1,6 comes with EAT6.
I have no idea as to why you in England add an E to it as well (we don't have that extra E in Norway).
If you by engine off mean stopping fuel flow, then it is something all ICE's are doing. At any speed (not just below 20 km/h).The 'e' in my 2008 indicated automatic engine off and coasting below 20kph.....reduced fuel consumption/emissions.
Actually mine was a manual.If you by engine off mean stopping fuel flow, then it is something all ICE's are doing. At any speed (not just below 20 km/h).
If you coast you will notice in any car with a trip computer that the fuel consumption goes to 0,0 l/100 km.
