THIRD REPORT Spacious SUV swallows up music gear with ease. Is it on song elsewhere as well?
WHEN one of your teenage sons has ambitions to be a musician, you can never go too long before a lift laden with heavy equipment is required.
My son George can drive, but the cost of insurance for an 18-year-old in London is prohibitive (add musician as your profession and it's astronomical). However, with my help, we’ve the perfect solution to his travel needs in the form of the hugely practical 5008 we’re running. Boot space in the large Peugeot SUV comes in at a whopping 2,150 litres with all the rear seats lowered; more than enough to swallow George’s guitars, keyboards and flight cases.Loading the car is simple enough, with a power tailgate and no boot lip to get in the way.
Dropping the rear seats from the boot could be easier, though. I’ve used lever systems at the sides of load areas in other cars which were great, but in the 5008 you need to reach right into the car to tug on a red tag to lower individual seats flat. Still, we do like the magnetic flaps that drop drown from the seats to make a perfectly flat space, preventing kit from falling between the seats.
