Faults:

Not much, but only had the car about one year. Rear suspension a bit rattly - will have it checked soon.

The car had full history and low mileage upon purchase, has been trouble free. Interior has a bit of wear and tear, but the exterior is unmarked, great for a car over a decade old.

General Comments:

After my old 2008 Citroen C5 finally gave up at 180,000 miles, I thought I'd buy another large family car from France. These cars are not as unreliable as people make them out to be (if looked after).

First off what impresses is the looks, I really like the look of this car. The newer model is even better looking, but this previous generation car is still nice and modern, especially in darker colors. Nice big alloys as well.

Allure model is a nice spec with all electrics and leather seats. The car is super smooth and comfortable. Spacious and a large boot. Quality feel to materials even after many years.

Nice to drive, the 2.0 HDi diesel is the one to go for - I'd avoid the smaller diesel and petrol units, they are not as reliable as this proven unit which has been around for a long time. I'm also getting anything around 45 - 50 mpg + on diesel with realistic driving scenarios. Plus it is fast enough for me.

Used prices seem lower than average compared to similar cars. But it's worth paying a little extra for a well looked after car. Lots of tatty high mileage cars out there - be careful when buying used. I paid less then 3000 UK pounds for mine last year. Full MOT and history, good condition. There are not many cars on the market as good as this for that price. Worth every penny - if you get a good one.

Nothing so far!

Exterior of this 508 is stunning - my car is dark grey, black alloy wheels and windows tints. Love the boxy shape, reminds me of Peugeot of old, yet still very modern looking.

The car is great to drive. 1.6 petrol performs well and does around 40 mpg. Auto box is smooth. Handling is sharp.

Interior - seats are very comfortable. Noise is suppressed well. But the positive points end there - there are too many blind spots as per modern cars, and the dashboard is horrific in my opinion. I hate the center console with the digital display and piano keyboard buttons for some functions. It's just... silly. Tries to be "futuristic" and fails. Steering wheel just looks... weird. Comfortable enough to hold however. If the center console had analog controls for climate and analog for speed display, this car would be near perfect!

Interior aside, this is a stunning modern car that is about as close to old sedans looks wise that you can still get. I don't know if I'd buy another Peugeot though, they seem to be going down the crazy electric/hybrid/futuristic route and technology that removes the fun from driving!

Faults:

Nothing so far. First service cost was reasonable and mechanic noted no issues.

General Comments:

My 508 is a great looking and somewhat rare sight on the road from the usual Insignia, Mondeo, 3 series, and all the other cars you normally see.

Understated styling does not stand out, however I think it is a sharp looking car in black.

2.0 diesel does 50 - 60 mpg and is fast enough for me.

Very comfortable interior and stylish as well, look forward to every drive.

Long term reliability remains to be seen, but loving this car so far, had it one year.
