My 2008 is a fantastic car. Now this. Like the new Citroen too. The DS4 is simply splendid too. They are nailing it. Build quality is excellent. Fuel economy excellent. Performance too. Rare enough to stand out from all the German cars cluttering the roads.

Great to see a European manufacturer put some real thought into the design- looks stunning inside and out. Back is a bit odd however it may not be as pronounced in another colour.

Top top top car ! Time for most Brits to finally admit that the French car makers have really LEVELLED UP big time ! What Peugeot does is just incredible : on same level of quality as the Germans, with spectacular stylish design, for a lower price... All brands are increasing prices, due to inflation on commodities, etc... pre Covid, Audis and VW were already quite costly, but now.... let's expect paying 10.000 or 20.000 for the new Audis... It's that Peugeot quite pricey, yeah, but still affordable compared to what comes from Germany. Today, French cars are a formidable alternative to German cars.

Peugeot continuing to knock it out of the park, I absolutely love the styling of their new cars. Love the sharp lines everywhere inside and out. I thought the switch gear was cheap on a 2008 though, not sure if they're much different on the bigger cars.

It’s is quite a striking looking car and the interior is very upmarket for a Peugeot. Those seats appear to be very stylish and comfortable.

"interior is very upmarket for a Peugeot"..... Peugeot has been making GREAT CARS since 2012-2014, it's time to catch up. They are as good as what the Germans do. And this comment comes from a German.

Superb looking car, hope it’s reliable and has a long warranty! I worked in the motor trade in the 80’s, 90’s and early 200’s and had some great and not so great experiences. At that time the Peugeot dealerships in our group Aftersales departments were a war zone, so many unhappy customers, so little help from Peugeot. The cars were well designed, but so many basic faults in manufacturing meant our lives were 24/7 miserable. Then Toyota and Honda came along and improved everything, literally everything in the whole motor industry. You cannot buy a bad car nowadays unless you choose something unproven from China!
