That big rear door is great when it's raining and you want to load/unload, you can also sit on the rear under that door and have picnics, all the crumbs go on the ground.
I was really pleased with my 7-seater (series 3-type) Rifter that I bought and afterwards realised it was the long-wheelbase version, although it was not advertised as such by Carshop. (This was not immediately obvious with no other shorter version to compare it with). I then took it home and found it would not fit either of my garages! It was too tall to fit either garage without removing the roof bars. (This is only possible with a thin Torx key, not a socket set). It was also too long to fit the shorter garage and then close the garage door unless it was reversed into the completely empty garage until the bumper rested on the back wall. Let the buyer beware. This is a BIG vehicle. My previous MPV's, (series 1 and 2 Citroen Berlingos), fitted my garages without any problems. N.B. The latest series 3 Berlingos are similarly BIG in size.
You can buy a thing called a tape measure. it allows you to measure the length of things, like garages or cars in this case. It is portable and you can take it with you when you go to view a vehicle. It will let you know if the vehicle you are viewing will fit in your garage.
I've had this vehicle for three years now absolutely fabulous moter I have automatic one diesel one of the best cars I have ever had good turbo boost very good runner good on diesel lovely comfortable very well made takes a lot to beat I've had citreon one's but this is the best want to see it beaten.
I wish the Peugeot Rifter comes to Australia. I absolutely love it. I deal for taking trips to the beach and stay overnight for a few days. The design is very appealing and seem to be of brilliant quality too. Put you bike in and two dogs, some sleeping gear and go and have fun:}
What do you mean by exiting? Speedcamara's everywhere,Speed restrictions and many cars on the road.If you want excitement go on a race track.These cars are cargo ships steady as you go with plenty of comfort depending on the weather.Sturdy and reliable transport what more do we want.
@@metoo3773Our has had only Transmission Issues, and that was after being used 17 years. Ours is quite reliable. However, other problems may occur. For those, i do recommend either searching up forums or websites which let you know the common issues in greater detail!
I do like the looks of this car. It basically boils down to this: do you need a lot of space for ypur familiy? Are you in the market for a renault espace but dont have the money? This is a great alternative and i really like it with me being 1,95 meters tall
4 instead of 5 star NCAP rating has hardly to do with the vehicle itself. The fifth star is typically earned via half a dozen superfluous 'safety' features
@@grolfe3210 I would take a car with better passenger protection in a crash than one with lane assist or auto-braking, yet under NCAP a car with worse passenger protection could get more stars than one with better passenger protection if it happens to have lane assist, etc. That to me devalues NCAP ratings.
I would buy a Burper in a heartbeat, if/when PSA decide to fit a proper supportive drivers seat, not the uncomfortable budgie perch currently fitted. BTW I actually like the upright driving position, and since I ud be opting for the EAT 8 automatic, and the diesel too, the gear lever position is a moot point. So other than the drivers seat, this is, for me, the perfect all round, unpretentious family vehicle.
PSA needs to offer this as an EV; there seems to be enough space under the floor for a battery pack. Perhaps they could use a similar motor and battery pack as in the eCorsa (100 kW, 50kWh, 205 mile range).
Good review in itself but really you also need to have the long version and 8 speed auto plus diesel & petrol options so viewers have a full view of range. For me long version with 8 speed auto 130 diesel with 3rd row seats removed would be the best config, massive boot and easy driving, nothing exciting but extremely practicable. I understand that Peugeot, Citroen and Vauxhall (Combo Life) all use the same 8" screen in the mid to high models, Citroen have weird sickly colour seats and Vauxhall don't/didn't have the 130 diesel in long version which makes no sense. 130 petrol coming later ... List prices crazy, expect you would loose £8K on leaving the dealers! Best wait for the new thing buzz to die down then buy a pre reg in a year or two.
Nice video! I also did review of the Peugeot rifter in my channel, and I must say I'm a fan of the design, and the practicality inside is decent. But I'm no fan of the small steering wheel and the fake grill in front!
Floats my boat, wont be getting one with a glass roof though...apart from it leaking [eventually] park it up in a rough area and some Neanderthal will lob a rock through it. Basic version doesn't have the electric handbrake which is just something else to go wrong. Oh and Toyota are joining the party now.
Nice review. If I was in the market for something like this, I’d go with the sister car - the Citroen Berlingo. Couple of reasons. First, I think Citroen’s design language suits the boxy nature of what is essentially a van. Second, you wouldn’t have to put up with Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, which I think is still too much of a gimmick.
A gimmick? 3 million buyers seem to disagree. 3 mio x €25.000 would mean the GDP of a 'reasonably sized 'nation is spend on a 'gimmick'. I don't think so.
I have the 3008. After owning it for 8 month I can tell, the i-Cockpit is much better then standard setup. But it's something you'll understand after owning one :)
Mark Laingold - I had a 67-reg 208 GTi Prestige and just couldn’t get comfortable in it. Appreciate it was the first i-Cockpit design and it’ll have been refined further since then :-)
Is this good vehicle for young family as only car at 27,000 GBP ? Or is dacia dokker stepway better at 15,000 GBP ? Is Peugeot Rifter worth 12,000GBP more than dacia dokker stepway if you plan to keep the car long-term (12+ year's) ?
Tried both, opted for Peugeot one, petrol with 110hp. More space for the passengers and driver, higher seating position, easier to get in or out, has awesome sliding doors. Shorter car with basically the same boot. Looks better to me as well. Both feel nice and lite to drive, peugot does seem a bit more refined though.
I replaced my ailing 55 plate VW Sharan with my 68 plate Rifter in August, and I am 6' 4" with a 35" inside leg and size 13UK shoes, and I find I now have more leg room. Getting used to a 6 speed manual after 20 years of driving automatics, and the hardest thing to adjust to is the electronic handbrake. I'll be 70 next year and this is almost certainly the last car I will buy, but I am totally okay with that and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other people.
Have owned a similar “squashed” SUV to the 5008, I guarantee your kids will keep whacking their heads. The 5008 is a nicer looking car of course, more refined inside, better soundproofing, but try packing for 7 with the 5008 and you see why this is a better buy
No way! 🤣 I have to tell my husband. In the Netherlands we have that with the Dacia Duster. Duster is the word my lovely grandmother used for her dressing gown/bath robe.

This review is at odds with every other about the comfort. 0-60 in 10.6s is not adequate its absolutely fine and sprightly for a family vehicle. For christ sake review the car against its purpose. A 7 seater and tested u blade. 😂😂😂😂
Car reviewers are a waste of time. It's just a job about bananas, apples, scratchy dash boards and adjustable steering wheels without enough rake. The shit they talk is unbelievable. Then there is the bloke that can't get comfortable because he has no idea how to adjust the seat because it's not electrically operated. . Lol
@@CosgroveNotts I think you had bad experiences with etg gearboxes. But etg is gone now they are offering aisin eat gearboxes called eat8 which is amazing. Just Google it
A bit of a error in that there is no mention that you can now also get a Vauxhall Combo which is the same car. These tall cars are just for people to sit up high around intimidating other cars with their chunky looks, nothing about being practical. They do not have any more practical space than a decent estate or hatchback.
That’s just not true. There is no forward and inward sloping c-pillar. You get a lot more practical cargo space with this boxy design. I know this because I rented one this summer.
