Peugeot 3008 or Citroen C5? #shorts

Pros
Bold styling makes rivals look dull
Very roomy for five
Useful electric range of plug-in hybrid

Cons
Touchscreen is fiddly
No 4x4 version
Short new car warranty compared with some rivals

The CarGurus verdict

With its bold styling, a fine ride and a cool interior with those three individual rear seats, the C5 Aircross does enough to stand out in a very crowded part of the market. It's impressively spacious and practical, distinctive (although certainly not sporty) to drive, and good value, too. If you can live with an infotainment system that lags behind the class best, and don’t mind the shorter warranty compared with some of its rivals, it’s well worth considering.

Pros
Cabin is spacious and well made
Lots of high-tech equipment
Affordable running costs

Cons
Not an exciting car to drive
Panoramic sunroof eats into headroom
Hybrid 4 only comes in pricey GT trim

The CarGurus verdict
The Peugeot 3008 is an excellent choice as a family SUV. It looks great on the outside and even better inside, with plenty of technology to keep you informed and entertained, and a cabin that wouldn’t be out of place in a much more expensive car.

On top of that, it’s spacious for passengers and luggage alike. It might not suit those that want exhilaration in their driving experience (although the latest Hybrid4 model might change that), but for those after a practical, comfortable and affordable family car, this should be right at the top of your short list. Thoroughly recommended.

Since the carbuyer days you've been a great reviewer and you've continued to be well done

that's a very easy question indeed! The answer: Rebecca Jackson is the BEST! 😍 (not to mention that she is holding my favorite pie, the shepherd's pie! 😍

In this case the shepherd's pie and cottage pie are rancid and keep you awake at nights wondering why you didn't buy Ford s- max pie.

That’s a bit of a strange comparison being as the C5 aircross sister car is meant to be the 5008 not the 3008, or at least that’s what the dealers are telling prospective customers. The 3008 is quite a bit smaller than the C5 aircross too.

I’ll take the shepherds pie all day sweets!, what pie would you be ?

GOOG, BETTER, BEST. ONLY TWO, SO WHICH IS BETTER. GRAMMAR PLEASE.

Where's the comparison then with the grandland and the jeep and the Alfa? They're also the same cars!
