I know this is a Tesla forum but I thought I will discuss this here as recently I had to hire a 7 seater for a trip to highlands. Looked for a X but couldn’t find any for hiring and the only option where I live was to hire the Peugeot 5008. I wasn’t sure about the car and the trip involves driving all the way to highlands with 6 people and luggage and I being just the only driver. I have never driven a Peugeot before let alone a 7 seater. I was worried about the ride and comfort and also the manual gear box. The engine is a 3 cylinder 1.2L with 130bhp. That worries me with 6 people, child seats and luggage etc.,
But I was in a surprise with this car. It drove so well that it has no right to drive in that fashion. It was so comfy and so easy to drive. The 1.2 was a gem of an engine didn’t break a sweat anywhere even to the way to the cairngorm mountain railways with 6 people.
I have driven all of the Tesla’s and I can honestly say none of them are so good to drive without breaking a sweat. If only if, Model Y drives like that that would be a dream car. I wouldn’t mind buying one of the Peugeot e 2008/3008 as my next car, though not sure how good the electric drive train is.
