      They are sturdier than most cars the ride is comfortable and the kit inside is generous and the seats are good. But if you have issues with a Peugeot it can get expensive and most of the electrical items are poor quality switches etc.

    All Peugeot 308's slightly pull left, it is normal. The Peugeot dealers call it "wondering" and it has been designed that way. I have a 2009 Peugeot 308 1.6 vti petrol automatic with 92K on the clock. I love it and it drives like dream. It is Euro4 so I will keep it as much as it goes really. Their steering wheels get worn rather quickly though. I truly enjoyed this video.

      New Volvos, I assume? His opinion when he did the road trip in a V70 seemed quite the contrary.
      The pre-SPA (~2015) and especially pre-P3 (~2007) Volvos with actual Volvo engines get sold with 250K+ miles on them because the owner kicked the bucket before the car did around here. I think they definitely /earned/ their reputation for being robust, they just perhaps don't deserve to continue waving that banner in the current decade.

    Despite the poor reviews that some people give Peugeot, I bought a nine year old 206 diesel in 2014 for our daughters to use when learning to drive. It had about 70,000 miles on it. We live in France, but I sourced a left hand drive French registered car from a dealer in the UK. It was quite a high spec with aircon, electric windows, cruise control, cd player and steering wheel controls; They were of a similar mind to you, in doing what needed to be done. Cambelt change, service, four new tyres, new exhaust, wiper blades and a couple of other things. I paid £1750 for it and both our daughters had a lot of use from it. I drove it back to the UK several times and it never missed a beat. I sold it five years later when both daughters had their own cars, getting just under £1400 for it. A great little car and I'd have another. I've also recommended the garage to numerous people. Treat people correctly, being honest as you do, pays dividends.

    I have a friend which used to have one of these he got for free from his grandma which can't drive anymore. It had (which is still in his family, passed down to his sister) 1.6 petrol engine with 120HP and I was surprised how good that car was driving. The only thing it had wrong was the AC stopped blowing cold air but a quick refill and everything was well. Another thing is the roof padding was really soggy so it looked like a tent on the inside and there was always a low engine oil level on startup (which he checked manually and it was always full) but other than that it was a great car. The one thing that I truly loved about the car is the amount of room you have in the backseats, something you usually don't see in a hatchback even if its fairly big for one.

    Glad to see it worked out well 👍🏼. Low fuel makes me nervous with the 1.6 Hdi or TDCi in Ford’s, not an engine you want to run out of diesel as you can’t just put more in and restart it. Did a fuel filter on a focus once and it wouldn’t restart, had to force fuel into the filter to ensure it didn’t suck air. Don’t want to do one again 🫣. I’m sure someone with more mechanical knowledge can explain it better. I think there’s no pump in the tank and it uses a Vaccum to get the fuel from the tank instead.

    I owned the 1.6T petrol GT version of the 308 back in 2011. It was well specced, and typically ‘different’ designed, but overall was nice. Only thing that let the entire range down was the terrible engines… underpowered, overworked, and completely lacklustre.
    Practically spaced cars, and the estate (as ugly as it is) had 7 seat options from memory

      I had the 175 GT and suffered the same issues, plus the clutch slave cylinder failed twice. Luckily the warranty saved me from two £1300 bills. I actually liked the car but it wasn't trustworthy.

    The UK seems to be the only country to slate French cars. Most of Europe as far as I can see buy them as 4 wheels to use as transport not coveted possessions. I have had Renault, Peugeot and Citroen never had electrical problems at all. Had an axle failure on an ancient 206 (same as any old torsion bar). All have been serviced by me and been great cars. Not one of these cars afflicted with rusting body or chassis unlike older cars. All my cars have been older gen but I would have no hesitation in buying that car here😊. Some of us are forced or prefer to run “crap” cars and this is an excellent car for some

    I bought one of these (while waiting for the next lease car to arrive) same age auto with with 63000 miles , It was tatty and worn out steering wheel as well which I covered with a leather wrap around. I paid £1000 for it and after 6 months and 6000 miles I sold it to my barber for £900. Other than oil drips it was pretty reliable. Update: 2 years on the barber is still driving it.

    After the joke 307 they invested a lot in 308 and they are very underrated, we've had four, over 15 years, without any major, just change the oil and filter regularly, use decent diesel, bargain, these pre dpf ones are even better than the later ones and 30 road tax 👍
