I feel that the 308 has been largely ignored in favour of the 3008. The 2017 facelift brought the EAT8 gearbox, and the 2020 facelift-facelift brings a digital display, but very little has changed since the 2014 launch. Its interior has polarised more people than anything else by Peugeot, because they deliberately got rid of most of the buttons from the 208 but never added piano keys to bring it in line with the rest of the range in 2017, and as you can't adjust the rear seats for more room (unlike the C4), it's not the best option for ferrying rear passengers around but would be excellent for the weekly shop or going away. It really needs some love, and I can only hope the Mk. III is designed similarly to the new 208.
I kind of like the analogue dials of the old 308 where the rev counter turns anti-clockwise for symmetry. Unfortunately there has been some trouble with the 1.2 engine lately because of the timing belt which runs in oil similar to the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost.

Same everywhere for what I know. Such a shame considering how nice this engine is. I've been driving my 308 GT puretech 225hp for a little bit more than two years now, and I can only say good things about it.
Why is it outdated?? I think even the 2014 version (pre 2017 facelift) looks absolutely STUNNING. And they have sooo many features. The best seats, best comfort, best ergonomics and best driving enjoyment in its class.
@@bigchief2331 i actually find it quite astonishing that a 2013 car still holds that well after 7 years. Obviously there is not all the latest technological options, but styling / driving wise it remains such a good car.
@@vince207 Yes, my 2015 model still gets a lot of positive attention on the roads. It's got enough tech for me. It has the blindspot monitor, auto parking, front and rear sensor, reverse camera, adaptive cruise control and that's really all I need. I don't care about android auto/apple car play and 360 camera. The infotainment is a little bit slow but not a big deal. I am going to keep this car for a long time, I love it.

Likable from the outside, nice interior design and quality but limited space inside and that awful steering wheel that cuts in half the instrument panel is a no no that deters many from buying. Still cannot understand that french insistence for that steering wheel/instrument panel combo which is an ergonomic failure and yet still is carried over to mostly all Peugeot models.
Becuase you have not driven one extensively, you don't understand. The combination of i-Cockpit and small steering wheel is genius.. more car manufacturers should be using it. It does not block any instrument panel.. you need to adjust it to suit, both seat and steering wheel can be adjusted many different ways. This is an excellent car, I daresay the best affordable hatch available.
@@bigchief2331 if it was that genius other manufacturers would have done the same(its been around in Peugeot cars for some years and not only on the latest) , however not even one has done it! If that is not telling you something , nothing will!

Respect for outmost transparency around who supports your production. Regards from Slovenija.
Great Video Review. I like the Digital Driver's Display. The All-New Peugeot 308 arrives next year
*Autogefuel* Looks so amazing ! Love and respect
✌️😄
Gt pack for 1.5 hdi 130hp
It’s bad :/
Where is the motor 2.0blueHDI 180hp ??
Damage ..
Thanks Thomas....looks great...bigger motor please...gotta have some...Struth!
Why couldn’t they make the steering wheel and navigation system look more like the new 208,2008 and the 3008
not bad for a old Car, thanks for the Vid. Thomas.
Old car man???? wtf???
Because the base car is from 2013... its just the second facelift ...
@@hangematte2983 thanks
Limited space for rear passengers, especially with tall driver/co driver, but excellent boot space and no tyre kits...
with the new Leon just out, this 308 looks old fashioned, but i'm Peugeot will come out with something pretty flashy soon.
I kind of like the analogue dials of the old 308 where the rev counter turns anti-clockwise for symmetry. Unfortunately there has been some trouble with the 1.2 engine lately because of the timing belt which runs in oil similar to the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost.
The biggest problems with belts and oil consumption were (and some still are) in 1.6 THP/PureTech version, 1.2 is nothing compared to that.
@@cytrynowy_melon6604 Didn't know that the 1.6 (BMW) engine had problems. I don't think it uses an oil emerged belt though.
Apart from the facelift, this car has been around in this current form for 7 years
It looks like the sensitivity of the steering wheel gets lower the faster you go, is that true?
Best channel👍
Thank you so much 😀

Alsace?

You're looking Slick' in this video
when comes the new one ??
Next year
@@autogefuel thank you for the Info, Thomas.
stop saying that the car is so small, because it is not!
GT has a 1.6l 225hp engine though.. that's the one we have
that engine was discontinued recently. At least in Germany.
Same everywhere for what I know. Such a shame considering how nice this engine is. I've been driving my 308 GT puretech 225hp for a little bit more than two years now, and I can only say good things about it.
@@francoisc.5486 ours is tuned 225 hp and 480 Nm (stock it made 190hp and 400Nm)
@@francoisc.5486 What is the consumption of yours.
@@SSSDDDOOOGGG average, around 7L/100km
No 2.0 HDI? There is no point buying it then.
Are you copiying Autogefühl videos to this channel?
check video description, all official - we have the short versions here :) /Thomas
@@autogefuel oh sorry then :)
np :)
That colour is stunning. The 308 is so outdated now though, they're even contemplating not renewing it in future.
308 III is planned for 2021 ;) 308 II is still selling very well though and a great car to drive.
This 308 is one of the best cars in it’s class.
