[@annecy49]

Bonjour Thomas, Eric here!!! Well, I really didn't see that one coming, and it is a very nice surprise as well as a change from all German cars -- though I totally get your point and know that you are not intentionally excluding any manufacturers! This Peugeot 308 has aged very well in terms of exterior design, especially profile and rear. I really love the compact rear. Maybe only the front shows a little bit its age compared to the newer models. The interior is nice, well designed, neat and minimalist, and I think has also aged very well. My uncle had one a few years ago and he let me drive it. I found it was fun to drive (was also a GT one), and for me it was the perfect size (I am way shorter than you with 1 m 72 cm, haha). After the Alfa Romeo the other day, I am really happy to see you review a Peugeot. I would also love if you had a chance to review some DS models and the next Citroen coming. This Peugeot 308 is about to retire soon and will be replaced by a new model and I hope it will be as pleasant looking, well built... and come in this stunning Thomasssss blue livery. Cheers and a big thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks m8!

Also my wife rented a brand new one 1.6HDI ACTIVE for two years. All perfect so far. The only issue was a design one with the armrest potentially hitting your fingers while changing its height. Happened to me twice. Quite painful 🤦‍♂️

Another excellent review. Although this 308 has been around for a few years, I think it still looks attractive and dare I say, better looking than the new Golf 8! The sporty, alcantara seats and general quality interior looks very classy. As the word, 'sporty' has been used a number of times during this drive, I wonder how it compares with the Golf which its generally seen as a conservative drive. Also love the Vertigo blue. P.S. Don't like the music!

I have a couple year old pug 308 Gt and I love it , lovely little car to drive mine has auto gearbox which is great it's nippy comfortable and great looking BUt the only downside is the infotainment/phone function is the clunkiest slowest and most non intuitive system I have ever experienced it's as if the designers said why press one button for a function when you can go through menus and press three . four or even five times to achieve your desired results !! . Other than that I would 100 % recommend this car and buy another (but only if they have improved the touch screen laggyness and general clunkyness of the system in general .) and I would definaely consider this new blue it's fabulous .

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@shadow-Sun]

@Jerry Rawlings hi I have had the car 12 months bought it with 30 k on clock I have done another 8k no issues at all with anything . I paid just over 9grand I have to say it's a ton of car for the money and it really is well screwed together and a hoot to drive . I have had audis about 6 in total and found their Q7 and Q3 the most unreliable but only tiny little niggles electrics and such . The Pug is a well kept secret and every bit as comfortable etc as the A3 for a LOT less money the materials used inside are good to ..not quite up to Audi standards and the infotainment system on the PUG 308 is pretty poor compared to the much better Audi equivalent ..but then you'd pay around 4 grand more on a like for like used A3 compared to a used Pug 308 ..personally that's not worth paying for a few minor annoyances in my book .

Nothing to see here and it's too bad I was hoping to see a 208 face just bigger

[@KING0SISQO]

At least next year. But I don’t understand why they call it “new” 308. There must be some sort of delay for the “all new” 308 by a year so just trying to resell the continuation of the production cars with new features that’s going to be in the next gen.

[@TillOverHill]

​@@KING0SISQO Having just sold my now 7 year old 308 I don't get it either. Compared to the 308 facelift from 2017; all they've done with it is to give it new gear knobs for both manual and the auto, renew the infotainment, replace one button on the steering wheel, replace the great dials with this second grade digital display that maybe has 20fps in its sloppy animations. So very very little new unfortunately, there must be something wrong with their new design. This one is from 2013 and even the Golf has been renewed fully.

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

@@TillOverHill They look on sales. 308 is probably still selling enough so they try to make money on it without making large investments. When sales will get too low, then they will introduce new 308. No need for conspiracy theories.

Why not bring out an actually new model? This model is already way too old for a facelift. And even then the facelift doesn't seem significant.

[@vince207]

End of 2021. It's just a tech update, not a facelift And it's clearly an end of life update as they removed some trims, some engines : 225 hp petrol and 180 hp diesel, and propose packs of equipments ( also easier to manage with all wltp homologations )

Beautiful car, but WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE PANORAMIC ROOF!!?? It is one of the best features, and this is a top model, it should be standard! But this 308 is one of the best hatchbacks you can buy. I am over 6 foot 4 and I have not found any other car which is as comfortable and fun to drive. Love these 308's.

when will peugeot do a new 308 model? just like they did on the 208.

[@Gin2b1]

2021 according to the press. Cant wait to see it with the brand new design.

[@SDav21]

For me the biggest issue with Peugeot is this steering wheel. For me, my knees knock the underneath of the wheel when getting in and out. We have a previous gen 3008 which is much more comfortable than the new one. It has more space and feels more spacious. The new Peugeot interiors look and feel great but they need to do away with this iCockpit thing. I know a lot of people who don't like that and they have most likely lost sales because of it. Still love Peugeot though. I hope their transmissions come from a different supplier now. Our 3008 hdi 6 speed automatic transmission is having issues. They get it from Aisan which is Japanese. They say it's sealed for life but I don't buy it. It no longer shifts smoothly and sometimes it stalls the car when selecting reverse yet Peugeot insists it is fine. On a last note, Peugeot interiors have better quality than VW now.

[@SDav21]

@Jerry Rawlings Ours is a 2013 model but now only has 73,000 kms on. We have towed a caravan with it 4 times but we've towed the same caravan when it was heavier with our 2004 Mercedes C220 cdi many more times and that has 300,000 kms on it. We don't even use the 3008 for long trips anymore because the gearbox seems to be too fragile to tow maybe? And the caravan isn't even close to the limit in the owner's manual. Mercedes is able to change gearbox oil easily and at the dealership. We've told Peugeot we towed with it and they insist the car is designed to tow heavier and that the gearbox is perfectly fine. Sometimes when we select reverse, it stalls. Then struggles to start. They've replaced the diesel fuel lines, the diesel pump, the filters, even the damn ECU at our cost!! 😠 The engine isn't the issue. The 2.0 hdi remains one of the best and most reliable diesel engines ever made by anyone. It's smooth and quiet and economical and makes good power and torque despite it's age. We keep telling them it's the transmission because when this stalling happens and you select drive to move off, the car doesn't creep forward. It's as if the torque converter is no longer spinning. You'll let off the brake and you can literally feel no fluid movement in the transmission. Then when you accelerate it kicks harshly into the 1st drive gear. After a while of driving it does back to normal. It's like the torque converter is binding or not spinning at idle or something. I've given all the info to Peugeot but they're damn useless. We'd love to tow with it again because it tows better than the C220 cdi (yes the Peugeot is newer but tows amazingly well for a front wheel drive car and the engine is much much quieter. The Merc is old though).

[@SDav21]

@Jerry Rawlings It depends on where you are. In my country, Peugeot has a small footprint. They're just not getting a hold on our market. In Europe it's probably a different story. So there are not many dealerships and I don't believe they bother with customers. I am sure in other countries they are able to service the transmission but in South Africa they don't seem to want to do so and they don't have the equipment at dealers. It has to be taken to a third party gearbox repair centre for a service. How ridiculous. I haven't heard issues on the 1.2 turbo petrol and the EAT8 is their new 8 speed transmission. It's too new and haven't had experience with it to know if it is better. We did however drive the new 3008 when they tried to convince us to trade in our current one and it was lovely. I'd just check out the reviews of the dealership you're buying from with regards to after sales service. And if you're not towing, you shouldn't have an issue. I believe the towing caused extra wear and tear which then just means some maintenance on the transmission. Mercedes will do it on request but Peugeot doesn't seem to. I'd say go ahead but always test drive other cars before making a decision and Google things like engines and transmission problems for every brand for the specific engine and gearbox you're looking at and also check reviews on specific dealerships.

[@SDav21]

@Jerry Rawlings No problem. All the best. I think the UK should be fine. I think Peugeot has a pretty large footprint there plus France is just a Euro Tunnel ride away. There shouldn't be issues there.

[@skagerstrom]

Peugeot has one of the nicest front ends in the bussniess today. Love that grille! Not sure about the rest though. Both this and the 508 look quite boring from the side. Good looking but bulky and a bit of that 90's/00's Volkswagen dullness. That color really pops though :P

Hallo Thomas Dies kann nicht als GT bezeichnet werden ... es gibt keinen 1.6 PureTech 225 S&S oder 2.0 BlueHDI 180 S&S.

when they don't bring out a facelift/new generation: "omg its so outdated!" when they do bring out a facelift/new generation: "omg it's ugly!" make up your mind, people!

[@Astke]

Well you have got to know the context. I like both facelifts and new models. Facelift are a nice way to make an older model (3/4 years old) fresh again with new tech, engines and styling tweaks. But in THIS case the facelift comes too late and seems redundant. This model comes from 2013 and has already been facelifted in 2017. That is why it was expected that a new generation of 308s would be shown this year, which is reasonable. For comparison: The Renault Megane is a model from 2016. So in this case it is logical that they facelift it. But with the Peugeot it is way overdue. Seems a bit like a stunt to draw in some extra cash before they release a new version. Unless the price is really low, I don't get why you would buy/lease this over, for example, a Kia Ceed (updated tech), Hyundai i30 (new model) or a Renault Megane (full facelift).
