    The Peugeot 508 is a fantastic all-rounder and this SW estate model adds a huge amount of practicality to the mix. Its boot is bigger than most rivals, with plenty of clever touches including an optional motorised tailgate and hidden compartment under the floor. It may not be quite as sharp to drive as the saloon, but comfort and luxury are top-notch and it certainly feels built to last. Buyers may be put off by the high list price for models at the top of the range, though.

    Just took ours on a 2500 mile road trip to Italy and back from the UK. Fully loaded, and at motorway speeds it’s averaged 62.7mpg overall and never missed a beat. An amazingly economical and comfortable car. Highly recommended.

    Just bought one, it is 1.6 HDI SW model. Had more cars on view to choose from (Vauxhall Insignija, i40, M6, F Mondeo) I have been driving lion cars more than 10 years now (307, 308, 406, 407, 207), but I always look others too before I buy. But for car I will expect economy drive, nice interior, lovely exterior, good equipment and also value. And with P 508SW I got all of those thing with reasonable price. Car is nice to look at, comfortable to drive and I havent had any problems with pugs before, really!.... and most of them drove more than 260 000km in my hands. Only regular checkups and usual stuff (tires, brake pads, belts and etc.) So afcourse I cant say any pad words towards Peugeot cars. But I agree that for everybody has theyr own favourites and we should respect that. Who am I to judge other people car preferences? Safe journey to everybody!

    The people bashing this are probably clueless german fanboys, or are lagging 15 years. This Peugeot is classes above every car in its price range. The RXH is a car that has every single thing you can imagine on a car. Only drawback is corner leaning(not much though, and certainly less than passat all road) and slow gearbox when in auto mode (not in sport though). It's fuel consumption is 5.5l/100km or around 45 US mpg. That is a joke compared to the Audi all road which goes up to 9l/100km and passat 8l/100 km,which have 12 hp less. The passat 6 doesn't hold a candle to it and I've tried them both. I own an RXH and the 2.0 HDI engine is a marvel. Sounds like a ceiling fan. My car has 270000 km on it, and has never had a single thing replaced or fixed. 200hp and a consumption 45 US mpg (54 UK), all while having an all road 4x4 vehicle with features which rival a Maserati (talking about the RXH trim) ? Lets see Audi or Volkswagen or Volvo beat this with their all road vehicles.
    And we all know about the ride comfort and sexy looks of french cars.

It still was a really great car once i changed the most needed part replacements..and i managed 40.000 very enjoyable miles in it lived ate and drove in it.. And very fast too..cruised at 85 all day long happily

    The conventional automatic with torque converter from ZF, fitted to the two liter engines and some of the petrol engines, is exellent. Many feel the EMG, the robotized manual, do not shift as smoothly, so please before you order, go for a drive with both automatics before you decide which to buy, since the gearbox make up so much of the driving experience. Cheers.

    • @daveyboiyeah
      @daveyboiyeah ปีที่แล้ว

      Because the 508 replaced the 607, which was also in A6 and 5 series class. In fact I think the 508 would essentially be more premium than a Skoda Superb, Peugeot is a much stronger brand with true heritage, unlike Skoda.

    You apparently don't know what you are talking about but no problem. :)
    Why would you change the belt more than recommended? Have you noticed that many of the newer chain-cam driven engines have been very unreliable just in that respect? Newest Peugeots have the Continental cam-belt in oil that you don't have to change very often, same is in brand new VW cars, like the Golf. If you choose a Peugeot, choose a engine made by PSA then you are clear (the diesels are a very good choice).

    Because for some reason, if you ask a british person whats the best car brand in the world, they will say Ford. I don't know why, but they're just awfully biased about them. They make you think a Mondeo drives like a freaking race car, but when you drive it you realize visibility is HORRIBLE, its hard to place it in the corners due to width, it rolls in corners significantly, steerings is lacking feel..it doesnt drive any better than a Citroen C5, which is 30 times more comfortable and refined.

      It's actually a feature called curved lighting that lights the corner you are about to turn in to. As the headlights were on, we can see this feature in action. Also, the fog light only came on as the car slowed and the wheels turned. (it won't come on if it is just a basic lane change). It's a really clever feature at night time and reminiscent of the direction lighting of the Citroen DS from 1967.
