I bought one in the last 2 months for that exact same reason. Early days but so far Iâve been impressed. I got a diesel and it feels a bit underpowered but to be honest when it comes to moving large amounts of children and associated luggage around thatâs a lower concern. Comfortable drive.

Ok good to hear all going well.
I was down to get one a couple of years ago with the job but then my role changed and my successor got it. He loves it. Very comfortable and has all the bells and whistles (apart from an electronic boot door).

I was driving across Dublin today in the 5008 and noticed the distinctive silhouette of another Peugeot in front. I then noticed that it was a Dublin GAA sponsors car. My curiosity piqued I took the chance to pull alongside shortly afterwards and am delighted to see that the driver was Brian Fenton (cc @Bandage)
If Peugeot is good enough for an all-timer like him than you surely wonât go wrong @wexico14

@wexico14 I wouldnt judge a car on a fella who gets one for nothing and changes it every 6 months.
Did you take the opportunity to make a âplease roll down your windowâ motion & then lambast him for his passive display in Parnell Park on Sunday?

We have a 2010 5008 the past 8yrs, itâs been incredibly practical, the only car that we could comfortably fit 3 car seats in the middle row. All seats are independent of each other and can be adjusted into multiple different positions. They also can fold completely flat along with the front passenger seat which basically turns the 5008 into a van. The two seats in the boot are also very easy to pop up and down and both have side airbags. There is 160k mls on it, 2 major jobs needed were the timing belt replacement and new clutch, apart from that itâs been grand, not the best but not the worst maintenance wise, Iâve probably spent about 25% more maintaining it than our other cars, I stayed away from the Peugeot main dealer who was double the price on everything and used our local mechanic

Ok good to hear. Thanks for the feedback lads, its a strong contender for us. The independent seats is a huge plus as I will have 2 rear facing car seats and a baby seat there.
In fairness, Fenton changes the car so often as has had personal safety issues of late with unwanted attention from over eager fans/stalker.
Ireland is absolutely full of filthy old diesel cars. The air quality is appalling given the location and size of the country. Iâm being serious for once.
Are these cars any good?
Is there anything reasonable for an Audi in the 10-14k bracket?
Toyota Auris good value cars?
Youâd be looking at high milage in an Audi for âŹ10k - âŹ14k.

7 million me bollox I was thinking but I googled it when I got home and it seems to be true.
