This generation of Peugeot is one of the last of the last classically built and unpretentious Peugeot's with original factory made shock absorbers that rendered the ride supremely comfortable. The -07 generation were the last Peugeot that featured exclusive use of Autoliv safety gear which are the costliest and the best safety equipment, but not a single reviewer mentioned this, thus making consumers make choices on flimsy and superficial reasons. Furthermore, Peugeot was continuously bashed by reviewers on how "cheaply" their cars were made while at the same time, majority of car manufacturers including luxury German makes had been kitted with cheaply made and dangerous Takata airbags that could kill rather than save passengers. This current crop of consumers are obessesed with screens and the latest gadgetry could care less about the quality of the internals and are easily misled. The newer Peugeot's may have the latest toys, but they have nothing on quality.
Excellent review. Not a afraid to point out the short comings of the car. As someone who is interested in buying it's a great help. Every car is a compromise in some way. Definitely subscribing to your channel.
Which one to choose? 🤔 Mercedes E 220 D, 2016(january) , 170.000KM, 9-G AUTOMATIC 16000EUR (former taxi car) PEUGEOT 508 SW GT, 2.0 D, 2015(december), 110.000km, AUTOMATIC, 14500EUR Both estate cars. Or to go for a Skoda Superb which is in range of Mercedes pricing and why is the price close to Mercedes when they get 3-4 years old?
Guys all advices are welcome. I just cant decide between Citroen C5,Skoda Superb 2010-2011 1.6 diesels. Both habe + and - of course. And also curious how is 508 sw 2011-12 compared to these 2. Thanks!
Marek Drives We have 407sw 2.0hdi since 2004. and I just hate te turning circle( I see that it didn't change :( ),and also the laziness of the engine(when you overtake on public road( 50-60km/h),you have to shift from 4 gear to 3rd :( ). But on highway is awesome. So basically it's the same car but with plastic surgery,am I right? They are looking for,of corse, reliability, comfort,big boot. Will you do review on the Superb combi? Or Octavia combi? Greetings from Croatia!!
So Marek, we know where the passat, 508 and insignia rank on the table, but what about the mazda6, avensis and mondeo? Based purely on my work through a ford dealership and limited knowledge of the cars, the table goes thus: Passat, mazda6, avensis, mondeo, 508/insignia. But I could be wrong.
@@MarekDrives Also we had strange situation when polish people come to Lithuania to buy second hand cars. It doesn't matter that most of them are from Germany:)
Marek, why won't you remove your glasses to see how ugly it is? And after your review it appears to be total shit. How can someone pay his bloody earned 30 grand and delete 3-5 years of his life owning it? That model leads Peugeot to bankruptcy and I can't wait this to happen.

Great cars have owned them for years! Never a problem I now own a peugeot 2008 and love it very reliable and safe!
Your English is almost perfect. One thing. You don't remember about something. You just remember it! Good review.

+Marek Drives, you are the best car reviewer on TH-cam. Great review once again!
+Charlles Pereira Costa There may be one or two better reviewers, but thanks nonetheless ;)
@@MarekDrives why are underestimating yourself Marek?
The rust protection got 2 of 5 points in sweden. Budget car.
Very good review. Simple. cery good that you mentioned the flaws of the car so that we could know and compare
great review buddy.
Like your style. Entertaining.
My neighbour paid for a brand new one at £33000 2015 , sold it to me 2 months ago for £6000, Magic Car!
Gives me an idea of what I should be paying today in 2023 as looking at them still making 6k

Mercedes E 220 D, 2016(january) , 170.000KM, 9-G AUTOMATIC
16000EUR (former taxi car)

Both estate cars.
Or to go for a Skoda Superb which is in range of Mercedes pricing and why is the price close to Mercedes when they get 3-4 years old?
+creosl IMO it is.

My family was going to buy 508sw 2.0hdi,but after your video they change opinion about the Pug!
Which part changed their mind? What were they looking for in a car?

kucelj450 I'll see if I can get my hands on a Superb, but that may take a while.
I suppose you can say the 508 is very much an evolution of the 407.
Marek Drives
Thank You for the reply, I subscribed so I can wait. Btw I like your "down-to-Earth" reviews!
Što si kupio na kraju? Ja sam u dvojbi između Octavie Combi i 508SW, polovnih.
From what I've seen in the video, that car it's not the equipped with top trim level - hope I'm not mistaken. Good luck!
Hopefully we will see a new Citroen C5 soon!
I'am looking into used 508SW or Škoda Octavia Combi. Which one? They are so similar...
Can you review Citröen C4 1.2 PureTech 130 Premium, please?
Good job. Keep goin'. :)

Tah, nice to see I'm on the money :) haha
Mazda 6 would easily beat the Passat on rust in a medium to long term test.
+nottoq I'll see what I can do.
Marek Drives This or citroeng c5 ?
yamahaevo This is somewhat more modern, than the C5, so this.
Hey! ze Germans are hier
Dare i say? Better than unreliable bmw
Greetings from Lithuania! Keep ur prices low so we can spend our euros in your country and help Poland grow. :D
:)
Are you guys also buying used cars in Poland and driving them back home with Polish plates?
@@MarekDrives No, he had in mind low food and other goods (shoes, construction materials etc) prices are low in Poland.
@@Neatspejamasis true, cost of living in Poland is relatively low compared to western Europe.
@@MarekDrives Also we had strange situation when polish people come to Lithuania to buy second hand cars. It doesn't matter that most of them are from Germany:)
@@Neatspejamasis if you live long enough, you get see some weird shit :)
Wtf? Polski zapomniał?
zyje i mieszka w UK. Wiec w jakim jezyku ma mowić?
