I'm really impressed with the new Peugot 3008 i-Cockpit system [https://youtu.be/5UapzN65V7Q?t=1m16s] and the general interior design. IMHO way ahead of the competition.

This is a really surprising development! The Peugeot leadership seems to be unafraid to think different, and I think great things are in store for the Ambassador brand. It was totally neglected for decades.

I've tested the new Peugeot 508 and 307 and they had horrible infotainment software - slow, buggy and very illogical (some settings couldn't be controled from steering wheel, some settings were only available on the screen on the dashboard, etc.)

The fact that 307 got rid of climate control buttons and only had the settings on the laggy touchscreen was even worse.

Did 3008 really improve that much in this regard?

307 isn't particularly new, though. Production ended in 2007 (except in South America and China).

I agree that putting controls behind a touch screen is not nice. Especially in the winter where I live, they're impossible - they don't work in the cold, with gloves.

I have no problem with Peugeots in general, but the 3008 has a particularly problematic driving assist system -- it is actually dangerous.

I am hoping that Contessa also comes back.
