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.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing! The car is barely 3 years old and low mileage, so wouldn't expect anything less.

General Comments:

The 508 is a stunning looking car inside and out. My car is dark red, with 17 inch alloy wheels and L.E.D lights, really looks the part.

Performance from the 1.5 diesel is good enough even with an auto transmission, and is also economical (60 + mpg).

Inside the Allure model has all the modern electronics you could want. Dash is a bit daunting to use at first, but when you get used to it, it is easy enough. Seats are very comfortable, ride is smooth like nothing I have been in before, and visibility is surprisingly good for a modern car.

The car has too many features to detail here to be honest (this review would take 4000 words or more to get into it) but all you need to know is this - if you have been driving large family/executive saloons for years and want a change for something different, the 508 fits the bill. Modern features you do not like can be turned off and ignored and you can enjoy driving the car. Or, you can get all the settings perfect and enjoy the ease of use.

Back in the day my father had a 405 which was bulletproof reliable. And later on a 406 which was also good. The later 407 was not very good, however I think Peugeot have gone back to their roots here, and created a great looking car that long term should prove reliable. The 508 is well worth a look.

Faults:

Basically nothing beyond servicing and essentials. The car is very low mileage for its age however, and I have only had it 2 years. If I am being really picky, some wear on the gear stick and steering wheel are a bit rough looking at only 6 years old.

General Comments:

What a huge improvement over the Pug 407, this modern 508 sees Peugeot go back to their roots, I love this car. Very sharp looking.

GT Line is a good spec and has half leather seats and electrics. Quality feel despite the premature wear as mentioned above. Really nice car to be in. Ride is smooth. Handles very well. Spacious.

1.6 HDi turbo diesel is not fast by any means, but you will see 60 + mpg on a regular basis no matter how you drive. My old 5 series BMW was fast but nowhere near as economical, I had to downgrade for economy issues, but I do miss the performance of my old 525i.

Not quite the executive heavy weight my old 2008 BMW 5 series was, but get one in a dark colour and nice spec and you have a nice large family/executive express car that no one will know what is and ask you about what kind of car it is! These 508's should be more popular.
