Hello guys!

Does anyone have experience with this car?
Thank you

With the 3 cylinder turbo I can't say I'd recommend it. The engine doesn't have the best reputation for reliability, Peugeot interiors look nice but don't last well and are difficult to clean.

Not to mention all the drawbacks related to a heavy 'coupe' SUV. If you really wanted a Peugeot the 308SW has more space inside, is cheaper, far nicer to drive and probably slightly more reliable simply due to weighing less, going through tyres and suspension less.

If you really need a high-riding SUV, something Japanese will give you much fewer problems in the long run. Suzuki, Toyota and Honda all make reliable SUVs.

I can't speak for the newer variants but older versions of the 1.6L EP engine suffered with stretched timing chains, constant misfires, oil leaking and oil consumption due to worn cylinders. They're really not great. Fairly powerful, though.

I'm not really sure why you specifically want this car but there are so many better options out there from almost any other brand, whether it be reliability, practicality or driving feel.

It'll also depend on how long you keep the car. If you're only keeping it for 3 years then either engine will probably be fine. If you want a car that will last closer to 10 years, Peugeot is more or less bottom of the list.

Thanks for your opinion.
There is a new option instead of the Hybrid e136 is now the Hybrid e145.
