I currently drive a 1 year old Nissan Grand Livina AT. It's easy to drive, can seat 7, and of course, the infamous Nissan aircon (I'm the one driving so the absence of rear aircon vents is not an issue). My main beef is its fuel consumption. I only get 8 to 9 km per liter during light to moderate city traffic. That number goes down to 6 to 7 during heavy traffic.
Now my mom's about to buy a car. My mom loves me so much that she's willing to swap her brand-new-car-to-be with my Livina, just so I could save on gas. Monthly payments will stay as is (I pay for the Livina. She pays for the new car).
Here's why I'm considering the Peugeot 5008:
1. It's a diesel - 20% cheaper than premium gasoline.
2. Fuel economy - according to a Peugeot sales agent, the 5008 can go 18km/l in light to moderate city traffic.
3. Panoramic Sunroof - aesthetics. just a personal preference.
4. Clutchless Manual Transmission - I find my Livina's 4AT boring (and it's also probably contributing to the "poor" fuel economy)
5. 7-seat capacity.
If you were me, would you consider a Peugeot 5008? If not, what would you recommend? Max budget would be the price of a mid-end 5008 (1.8M). Your inputs would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
