My second Peugeot. Would I buy another...no. Apart from the usual standard perishables, these Peugeot's love an electrical fault. The air pollen fault being one. My latest model was only five days out the garage when the coolant cap went, causing the engine to over heat. That and a thermostat housing water leak....common in this model. Suspension coils seem to be replaced pretty quickly also. This engine size performs poorly on fuel economy but I have been used to a 1.0 L aygo for three years. Better in motorways but I carry a bottle of coolant wherever I go.

Traded down from huge Ford estate to Peugeot 308 on retiring as no longer needed the large boot area for work "stuff" ,this is much more comfortable and much more economical (have kept records for last 4 years) average over this time around the 50mpg but if a lot of motorway /long distance mpg nearer the 65 mpg .Performance is quite acceptable even with 4 adults in . As 2 of us drive it need to adjust seat/mirror etc. which is very simple and easy .At 40,000 miles put on first change of tyres from original set . Had no faults in this time 4+ years Not quite so easy to reverse due to curve rear but have rear parking sensors which is a must in my opinion on this car

very good

For a mid range vehicle I have found this car to be very good, on long journeys I have achieved , 55 miles per gallon, it is good on acceleration is reasonably comfortable and very responsive to its controls. All in all a satisfactory vehicle.

The 308 SW continues to be an excellent estate car and will take what I need i.e. my model railways to exhibitions. It is getting older > 100,000 miles and I was thinking of changing it BUT all the current estate cars seem to be modified hatchbacks - the back seats do not fold down flat and the rear ends slope down so that there is not enough headroom to load. I would not therefore be able to transport my model railways in their cradles as I can with the 308SW and some of the older estates viz 406 SW. When will manufacturers produce proper estates rather than glorified hatchbacks?

I've had the car for 5 years. It has generally been most reliable except that after about 12 months it kept losing power and a warning appearing on the dashboard screen 'Anti Pollution' (or similar wording which I can't remember). after garage computer tests which failed to find the solution, my son acquired a small cheap diagnostic computer type tester which suggested it could be the fuel filter. He found it to be badly clogged up and replaced it. I have had no trouble since. I understand that it is desirable to replace the the fuel filter every 40000 miles. The service records issued with the vehicle showed that it had been replaced after 38000 miles. At the time of my troubles the car had only done 47000 miles which proved that the previous service invoice was false. I do not consider this to be the fault of Peugeot and would not hesitate to recommend a car from their range to others.

Peugeot, as always!

This car was sold me at an amazing bargain price, by a trusted dealer over many years, as a replacement for a write-off of my former 2007 Peugeot 307 SW, and I am very happy with it, although it feels and seems to operate differently (heavier, and therefore safer[?] and VTi transmission). Should do me till I stop driving in a few years, I hope.

I have owned this Allure model for 2 months bought nearly new, I'm impressed with the mileage on long trips achieved 65mpg(trip computer) on mainly motorway route. getting above 55 around town. The stop start system and electric handbrake have taken a little getting used to. The comfort and support from the seats is great and can fit 2 adults and a baby car seat in the back snugly. Not as roomy for hauling stuff as the 307SW as that had a taller roof and boxier shape. The LED front headlamps are excellent - happy so far

A wonderfully adaptable car with good economy (stop and start technology)and excellent load carrying space when needed. The Peugeot diesel engine is very flexible, refined and relaxing to drive on long journeys.

My car is a 308 Sport THP150. It goes well, is very comfortable and roomy, I have had it from new and it has never let me down. The only expenses have been Services, MoTs and one set of tyres.Not bad for five years!

Better car then our previous 307 for reliability and fuel efficiency. Comes into its own on long journeys but can be cramped in the back seat if 5 adults.

A good reliable family car. Reasonable running costs for its size. A steady rather than high performance vehicle. Updated model due next year.
