New owner of a Pre-own 2015 3008 e-HDi

Hi All, just collected car yesterday. Am enjoying the array of "gadgets" and figuring out the features as I go along. Hope to learn from you all!

Am attracted to buy this car due to its FC since a friend drives the new 5008 and can clock 700km even on heavy foot?

I think mine is the semi auto transmission - so trying to get used to the 1st and 2nd gears, but otherwise, it's been a joy to drive.

Welcome to the forum bro!

Thanks bro!
Here are my thoughts on my ride so far....
Likes:
1. FC super impressive. Just completed my first full tank. $60 shell diesel. 918km covered until red light appears. (Consciously light footed, 60% city, 40% highway.) my previous ride's full tank could only hit 420km on $110 full tank. So 75% fuel savings here.

2. Bells & whistles. Around same price I bought, most new cars don't come with so many features like gps, hud, auto wiper, paddle shifter, speed limiter, moonroof, bluetooth, high quality leather, good sound insulation.

Dislikes:
1. Inconsistency in ECO activation. The ECO had been working properly until I turned it off recently. When I turn it back on, it has not activated for a long while now even when I have stopped at traffic lights. Maybe need to reset it.....

2. Engaging Gear 1 & 2 using auto mode is still an art that needs getting used to. Sometime I feel the changing of gears are abit rough - will have to ask the mechanic on the next servicing.

Hi btyu,

would you mind sharing where did you get your pug as it is rather new?

Thank you in advance

Hi Pacificrim99, found it posted at sgcarmart, Jet E dealer. Dealer mentioned he bought it from agent.

I think there is another eHDI selling now, I think 5008.

Hi btyu,

Thanks for the info. Too bad i can't pm you as i am new to the forum and am not sure if it is appropriate to have dollar and cents in threads. However, don't mind if i enquire if the price from the dealer if my assumptions are correct, to be approx 24k below agent listed price, or it is at dealer listed price?

Thank you.

Ivan.

bought my 3008 diesel coz of 2 things: fc & panoramic roof. jerky gear is part & parcel of the robotic gearbox. that's why AF now ditches it in 2016 for a fully automatic gb. it's designed for fc so just try to avoid situation that brings out the jerkiness. if need to pull away from start, I usually press the s button or go manual with the paddle. or just take it easy on 1-3 then pull away on higher gear since the turbo torque is quite exhilarating. I can reach 1000 km on single tank without warning light so guess depend on style of driving too.

Hi all, I just bought 2nd 3008 2015. Still trying to figure out all the function.
