Peugeot 508 GT 225HP REVIEW POV Test Drive on AUTOBAHN & ROAD by AutoTopNL

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Yes you are correct, this car is way to slow, it struggles to get to 246kph, totally useless for us here in the UK where more roads are having their speed limits reduced to 32kph from 48kph and motorways have a max speed of 112.5kph. I think I'll consider a used bugatti instead.

That's so sad isn't it ? Peugeot is just going for downsizing because there're to many people driving cars, flying around and they try to "save the planet" like so.. There's basically noone in this world who'd think this is acutally saving anything.

[@gabrieltarayre7883]

Most of people buying this car will never go over like 150 or 160 km per hour, wich is the max limitation for most countries, exept Germany with aurobahns, it's not a big deal for me that the car dont go over 220 kmh honestly. Whats concerning is the price to me

[@AlliCanThinkAbout]

Because people are stupid and can't understand that it is not every manufacturer's goal to go 0-100 in 3 secs and have a top speed of 300km/h. They expect every car that looks sporty to have supercar like 0-100 and top speed. Can't lie, a fast car is always pleasant but people expect brands that are not even premium to put up big numbers. peugeot never claimed they were making a stupidly fast car. 225hp is enough for any road or hill even with 5 people in the car.

[@VlerkeDamne]

[@alfamonk]

Too much emphasis on top-speed man. Very little about ride and handling, just a few sweeping curves. Most of us don't spend hours doing 140mph+ so I think you've mis-judged this car. Very good effort from Peugeot, and far more interesting than the A4 3-series brigade.

I tested the iCockpit in the 508 and I love it! (I'm 1,86m btw) That's literally the best driving position I ever had in a car. Yes the steering wheel is a bit lower than on most cars, but it feels a lot more natural to me. I actually struggle with most car as I can't go low enough without obstructing the dials, no issues with the 508. I learned to drive with an Aygo were the dials move with the steering wheel, so I could set the steering wheel in the most confortable way and know that I'm used to it, I struggle with most cars. The truth is that race cars have the dials over a low steering wheel! I also tested the engine, if it doesn't fit a sport car, on a GT like this 508 it's actually really nice and I love the gearbox. More the a DSG in town (even if the DSG is better on a track but that's not the real world).

Tested the 508 again today and hell yeah! Best seating position ever and the center console is not hurting my knees like in many German cars with way too large "altar" as center console.

[@markod1353]

@@Samosayummyyay Of course you can lower the steering wheel in other cars as well. The problem is that in many cars you can't lower it too much because then you can't see the whole speedometer. Take the VW Up for example. If I lower the steering wheel how I like, I can't see the speed range from about 70km/h to 160km/h. The way the VW designed the instrument cluster is too high up so as soon as you lower the steering wheel, the upper rim of the wheel blocks your view in the above mentioned speed range. Such ergonomic fuck ups really piss me off. So then, A) I have to raise the driver's seat, which with my 1,92m height is a no go, or, B) I'm forced to keep the steering wheel uncomfortably high. Whoever signed off the Up with such instrument cluster for production should get fired. I'd love to have the VW Up as a second car for daily errands. I think it's really cool and has those lovely 3 cylinder engines, especially the 95hp TSI. But then they totally ruin it for me with that stupid instrument cluster. Oh, and no center armrest. Another total flop in my book. None of that happens in Peugeot cars. I haven't driven the 508 yet, only the 308 GTI and the 208 with the 82hp engine. But yeah, by the looks of it, especially in the rear, it looks pretty damn cramped. Also, I imagine the rear view visibility is crap. Add to that that there seems to be no rear wiper option. With such flat rear window, that should be standard, and I don't care about how much it spoils the design of the rear hatch. How's rear view visibility in your experience?

You see that a lot, I guess they think that this sporty or something. I sit a bit more upright with the backrest in a upright position (as the rally drivers tend to do it) and then it is no problem at all. So: I had no problems with the cockpit position. And Topspeed?

[@Dipierox]

@@herrv1906 Copy paste from my answer to another person : Remember the Bugatti veyron was announced with a top speed of 405 kph. That speed was indeed achieved, on a 8km straight line, with perfect temperature and perfect wind. That's something that would never happen in real conditions but because they achieved it once meant they were able to set it as their top speed. My question is : Why wouldn't the 508 be given a 250 kph top speed if they did it at least once ?

[@herrv1906]

@@Dipierox Indeed, aerodynamics could explain the trick as the SCx is 0.62 for the 508 while it reaches 0.68 for the 308 GTI. In this setting, he is doing a 4km run slightly downhill. For the Bugatti Veyron, as the drag force increases at the square of the speed meaning that at 400 km/h it has to spend 16 times the energy necessary at 100km/h. In the case of the Peugeot here, between 200 (reached easily) and 250 km/h, the difference represents "merely" 50% more drag force to counter. No-one does this kind of speeds on a daily basis but I must say that each time that I have the occasion (as I am close to Germany), I do so.

Honestly, with that camera on your head it's like we are looking down on the 508 and not at it

Peugeot has been killing it with their new cars. I like them.

[@sideu1330]

Exept for the new steering wheel.

[@Marsang6978]

He didn't push the sport mode button ! It's maybe the reason of the crazy acceleration about the top speed ! And don't forget it's 1.6 L, not a 2.0 L !

[@justinbell4943]

Quite a harsh review but I appreciate the honesty. I admit, if you are tall its a problem. To me the new iCockpit it incredible and better than almost every car in its class, hopefully they think of a way around the steering obstructing the instruments (for those that this is a problem to).

[@steveaustin7764]

amazing looking,inside and out.

[@PapaZigg]

This is the best looking sedan in its segment. Sexy exterior and interior. I prefer 508 over passat. And i dont know if its just me, the engine on acceleration kinda sounds like a lion's roar.

[@omarkhanlilcurry]

One of the coolest interiors I’ve ever seen

[@jonnyleoni5635]

Looks better than every Mercedes and it's 50% cheaper nothing more to say here...

[@Proman73]

It is pretty obvious you hate french cars and you dont like the new peugeot cause it is a knock off rival for yor german boring cars. There is simply not a thing to not like about this car. The engine is punchy and economical for cruising. Everything is well tought believe me the engineers of this car know a lot better than you

[@AKdsad100]

The car is amazing, this dude drives 1000 hp, tuned Audis and thinks everything should be like this...

[@painxxxl]

I sat in this Peugeot, and I have to admit its beautiful car. I didnt drive it, but imo 200+ hp is more than enough for everyday use. Only real problem i encountered was space. Im nearly 190cm high and it took some time for me to find position in which i didnt feel like in coffin. I found that position but noone would sit behind me and my head was still like 3 cm from ceiling.

[@irelax8595]

"for yor german boring cars" german boring cars? Germans make the best cars in the world. French cars are the worst cars in the world. It is officially tested. However, I don't think this new Peugeot is bad, it looks very.. very good imo! I think this car has potential, even for Peugeot.

[@painxxxl]

@@irelax8595 link us that official test where french cars are the worst please.

[@roybm3124]

Very nice interior, impressed. But what high speed acceleratoring do you expect from a 1.6 with 225hp, it’s common sense.

[@amirgh8554]

I would be back in Netherlands 😂😂😂😂😂👌👌

[@jtonline99]

Thoughts: Watching 2.5 years later, I gotta say many of the lows are down to you and your preferences. I like the I-cockpit (more than I'd thought I would), having driven the 208, 308 (crazy GTi 270 driver here), 3008 and 508. If anything I think you position your steering wheel in a weird position (the height I guess). I like that the cruise control stalk doesn't spin in circles with the steering wheel (I wish they'd left the stereo controls on a stalk too). Each to their own 🤷🏾‍♂️😊

[@jtonline99]

Things I agree on, the EAT8 gearbox is crap and there is lag down low in the rev range (altho 1.6L engine, what do you expect). Also the steering is a bit dead at times. 508 also reinforced that I hate driver aids.

[@TheBigcowie]

Any troubles in the winter? Since the windows have to roll down like 5 cm to be able to enter the car?

[@Seppe1106]

I am 1.85m, own a P208 gti ( 2012 ) and i freaking love the small steering wheel and the fact to look over it to see the speedometer etc. I dont have any issue with space in that small hatchback.. i think that's a little exaggerated.. BUT it's his opinion so I/we should respect it! :)

[@percyvalle921]

Awesome french car ! It will be a hit !

[@kalfreak3]

Why is everyone so insulted with the video? I think he brings fair points up in the video. I watch his other review videos aswell and before i bought my i30N i watched his video aswell, he brough up really objective stuff in the video and tests almost everything. For me the i30N interior isnt bad because i used to have a 2nd hand car that i didnt expect much of it. So upscaling everything will always seem nice. For him he can objectively assess the quality and other things about the car because he has tested that many other cars.

[@vab120]

Peugeot a besoin d’un modèle qui fasse rêver. Les gens achètent des A3 tdi ou des Serie 1 au mazout parce que les R8 ou les M5 existent. Ils pensent rentrer dans le “club”. Là quand t’achètes une 508, tu rentres dans quel club? Celui de l’utilitaire Partner? Mettez lui un V6 turbo de 400ch et un différentiel autobloquant à cette voiture et là vous aurez une image.

[@vincenttarroux115]

[@johnloi4939]

225 horsepower for a daily is not quick enough? You're not suggesting buying it if someone's looking for performance although this car has more power than most of the cars you see on the road, M cars are not its competition, normal BMWs or Audis are perhaps, I mean the A4 gets 170 horsepower right? The BMW 3 series has 170 or 180 horsepower, the same price range of this 508 and it has 45-55 more horsepower, I agree with the i-cockpit issue but other than that the car looks priceless inside and out, and it has so much power compared to its competitors

As you said, you're very tall. I drive a 3008 with i-cockpit and it's perfect for me ! As for you're remarks concerning the top speed ... do you live in Germany and not in the NL ? never heard about driving "normally" ? Who needs to drive at 250 ? Go fasts ? . seriously, if you're looking for high perfomances and top sppeds, do not review family cars. Go for Lambos or Ferraris .. otherwise, as you said, if you drive normally, this looks like a great car ! much more fun than a sad looking and borinf efficient german car ...

[@asthalis]

Too bad you can't have a manual gearbox with this engine... Great car though, very nice design and interior.

[@adnanhajdarhodzic9318]

U do get manual, but only with 1.5 liter engine with 130 hp. Btw, that engine is great, u cant see diffirence between 2.0 liter and 1.5

[@X3ABnew]

The speed control system of 508, similar to the the one from 407, 208 etc is BRILLIANT! I know what I say, I drive Peugeots for over 25 years. I drive other cars too (VW, Skoda, Mazda, Citroen, Opel, ...). The problem is that the thumb finger is not precise and you cannot select the button to press without looking at the steering wheel! Index, middle and ring fingers are more precise and more sensitive. Do you know the blind reading Braille text with his thumb? ;-D
