Living With the £55,000 Peugeot 508 PSE - 355BHP HYBRID PERFORMANCE CAR

[@sp3ckedout224]

Paul this is such an embarrassing review. You really need to educate yourself on the Peugeot brand. Peugeot started off as a brand by making fun powerful cars, and then they went to making the boring cars as we know. For you to say Peugeot have never made high performance or fun cars is embarrassing

Most people don’t actually plug these in, they pick a plug in hybrid due to the lower BIK tax.

[@ikevmusic]

Paul, the steering wheel doesn’t block the view if you set it correctly. It’s smaller so that the bottom is where you’re used to have the bottom of any steering wheel, so the top is lower and you can see the dash. It maies you drive with your hands lower than usual but you get used to it and in most cases it becomes much more exciting and hard to come back to any other car.

[@benji1990x]

Front wheel drive the 4wd is only active when you put the car in 4wd and the electric motors are running if the battery is flat or needs charging then its front wheel drive

[@maereanm]

the battery is never empty on a PHEV. The electronics activate the On Board Generator that uses some fuel to generate some electricity. You generally have at least 1.5 kWh in the battery that is used to give you full power even if the car was never recharged in its life. With this 508 PHEV, you have 4WD even if the car was never recharged in its life.

I hope this model doesn't have all the problems that the Peugeot 508 has especially after shedding out 55k ..... Paint issues being one of the main issues as peugoet only puts two coats of colour on new vehicles which causes extreme stone chip damages. Secondly out of line panels from front to the rear of the 508 doors out of line, bonnet & front top panel & wings all out of line. Their has also been cracking of the roof panel. I've 4k worth of paint damages on my 508 First Edition sadly after being lied to by peugeot Truscotts Exeter they failed to tell me of the paint damages on the vehicle after making purchase of the vehicle under distance selling due to Covid. I purchased the vehicle online, then to have Truscotts keep demanding that I just reject the vehicle, WHY should I reject the vehicle after it had taken me over Eight months to locate this spec vehicle, as there is only 22 First Edition SW in the UK. So why should I be forced to reject the car of my dreams. Peugeot UK are a disgrace to the car market for not addressing the issues I've incurred.

[@talkandplay]

I have the e2008 with same design flaw with steering wheel.There is a reason why the forums are full of complaints about this and why all reviewers warn in there reviews about it. Cannot take Peugeot seriously until they stop ignoring customer feedback and change this ridiculous situation with the steering wheel and their icockpit. Luckily mine is lease and i will be changing shortly, not to another Peugeot thankfully.

[@vs6300]

Before deploying the new steering wheel design, they did get a sizable number of clients to test, taught them how to adjust so as to get the best out of it and let them live with it. It is feedback from the clients that persuaded them to implement the technology, too bad it didnt work for you.

[@maereanm]

the onboard computer is broken 9:19. 3.9 mpgUK (72 L/100 km) is impossible with a 1.6 engine. 100 miles/kWh is impossible for any electric vehicle. on a sporty but legal drive you can expect 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) with this 508's configuration. PHEVs are so economical that is hard to go worse than 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) for a full tank if you don't live in a mountainous area and obey the speed limits. doing the school runs plus holidays for a year, you can even expect a yearly average of 71 mpgUK (3.95 L/100 km + 16 kWh/100 km). That's my average with my PHEV (different brand with a slightly smaller battery). a similarly powered car (RS3, AMG GLA 45) will consider a 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) an utopia if you go on a sporty drive. 23 mpgUK (12 L/100 km) or even 17 mpgUK (16 L/100 km) are figures that I heard for an AMG GLA 45 387 hp. And they can't carry this much luggage.

I live in Germany whose people have the reputation to be tall, and I don't really feel much difference between the 2 countries. The one who are really taller than the rest in Europe are the Dutch (who are the tallest in the world) and some countries of eastern Europe especially former Yugoslavia (Croatians, Serbians, Bosnians, Slovenians..) or Baltic ones. Even inside France people from north or north east France are fairly taller than the south or Parisian ones. This is the same in Germany, people from Hamburg are fairly taller in average than Bavarian one. Your sources may be a bit old. 174 cm was the average size in the 90's (including old peoples). Most countries provide the heights of young adults (usually 20 years old, 20-29 or 18-39 years old) which is maybe more accurate because around 60 y.o. people starts to get smaller. In France you have several statistics. 175.6 cm stands for 18-74 years (statistic of 2003 done on 96% of the population). For 18-29 years old men, so the core target, it was measured 177,0 cm in 2001, 177.8 cm in 2007, and 179,7 cm in 2014. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIirdaeMj9B-nMU www.worlddata.info/average-bodyheight.php www.medicinenet.com/height_men/article.htm www.wetall.fr/quel-pays-a-la-plus-grande-taille-moyenne/ fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taille_(anthropom%C3%A9trie) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_country
