The GEEKIEST fast estate: Peugeot 508 PSE review

[@AnthonyAnthony-o4v]

Forget the so called flaws, its one of the best looking cars on the road today, and a rare sight.

[@Paratyphi]

I got 34 mpg-ish with mine on the highway, i can do 460 miles when driven in hybrid/confort mode, more than enough to fill a bladder. Overall, as i plug it every day and drive it in electric mode in all my daily drive around town, i got 75 mpg (in 14000 miles done with it). Best distance i have in electric mode is 32 miles in summer, 22 in winter. Sports mode is hugely enjoyable, but yes, it make the car very thirsty, it's not a sports car though, the chassis is excellent and the suspensions are well suited for it, but it's not meant to be driven hard all the time. I'm very satisfied with it, fast, good looking, practical, comfy and well equiped, you may have the same with other car manufacturers, but not for that price.

[@evertonjames123]

Completely agree I haven't even got one and it's easy to see coming from a bmw owner... my 330e would have been the same price new and I don't even have electric seats. This peugeot has every bit of kit imaginable, looks amazing, is quick and relatively economical for a 300 plus hp car. Want one a lot!

[@M1985-u6e]

I nearly brought one of these till i sat in one at 6ft 3 i couldnt get the children behind my driver's seat, great channel, love your videos.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

From one 6'3" person to another, thank you!

[@heinedenmark]

They should give it the 2.0l Hurricane, that several other Stellantis uses.

[@peternatens6789]

I drive this car and it is better than a BMW 3 M. Cheers Peter

[@smwatson1512]

Such a shame you can't get the 1.6 petrol anymore in the 508. The 1.2 engine is too weedy, and the PHEV adds 300kg to a surprisingly-light car and makes it a bit worse in basically every respect. The pre-facelift was better looking too. Amazing used buy, great value.

[@DontPanicDear]

I think the pre-facelift was way better looking 👀

[@smwatson1512]

@@DontPanicDear Absolutely. Fang lights are lovely. Can get a good spec (GT Line or higher) 1.6 petrol for £16k ish now, at most. Outstanding value for a great car.

[@latorregolf]

Nice review. Like how you include range on a full tank of fuel - many reviewers omit that. Any chance you could do the new RX500h?

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

I do like Pug's quirkiness -- and they're comfortable, and nice interiors. I have a couple of friends with a 308 and 208, and they report both cars have been really reliable.

[@ianelliott229]

Another excellent video. The only honest review channel now that Mark Nichols isn’t in front of a camera any longer 😢

[@davidhayes4814]

I guess that you are saying that an Octavia estate VRS could be a better bet ….

[@Di12225]

Tim: 'Thank you very much Dogman.' That had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣

[@DontPanicDear]

I had an exciting afternoon, spotting a Tim Rodie AND a 508SW in the space of 10mins 👀 I hoped these would be more seamlessly integrated. I wish they’d make calm, compliant and cosseting, rather than trying to be sporty. In BMW parlance, perhaps making these less M and a little more Alpina.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Absolutely agree, an Alpina'd Peugeot (not by Alpina) would be grand...

[@Anashere_Narrnda]

i would take the 508 anyday over the any German boring looking car just for the looks alone

[@paulwardzynski3265]

Tim, Great video. Voiture eccentrique ou non? Can't make its mind up on a lot of issues.

[@davidb5552]

I clearly need to watch again. Was focusing on that finger plaster steadily escaping, potentially into a more purchasable car! On that note...can you please get your ass onto the GS1300 as I'm v tempted. Interested to hear your view before I sample the free coffee and more than likely walk out of the showroom 20k lighter! Great vid as always Tim.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I'm getting the GS next week! Thanks for watching both channels... that finger plaster was the result of shutting my front door incorrectly somehow!

[@menifo4334]

Was that plaster? I though it was a ring and I was trying to see if he was wearing an equally stylish earing to match it. LOL

[@menifo4334]

What's the other channel?@@TimRodieDrivesStuff

[@alechopkins6545]

Cool lookimg wagon, shame it seems more like a good in theory but not in real life kind of car

[@johnhaynes9910]

Tim, could "Fast but Flawed" sort of apply to you ? :) Ride on Rodie !

[@menifo4334]

See! You don't need to be childish and silly to make interesting and amusing videos like... you all know who! Great vid (it's been ages since I said that last).

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks, but I’m offended you didn’t find me childish and silly

[@menifo4334]

You need to put in a little more effort to make that dream come true. I'm sure you can do it easily!@@TimRodieDrivesStuff

[@jonhuggins7149]

The brake discs will cost you 2.5-3k to replace. Had the same on my 308 gti, only last about 8000 miles if you drive it enthusiastically

[@JarnoDamWichers]

Braking = Fear 😂

[@aur.c]

I have no idea how that interior can not feel refined, maybe that is the lowest trim level though

[@TheWynne71]

The plaster…..that worried more than a £55K Peugeot….

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Slammed my front door, finger slipped and got sliced open by my brass door-closing thingamabob. Blood everywhere, much to the delight of my 5 year old daughter, who LOVES gore. Oh dear.

[@TheWynne71]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff The pain you go through for your art Tim!

[@Jo3man96]

22 MPG is the same I get from my E39 Alpina 3.3 driving round town.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I think I'd have an E39 any day of the week. I reckon I got more out of an E39 M5 when I borrowed BMW's one.

[@Jo3man96]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff I sat in one of these 508s when I was at a car supermarket doing a bit of scouting for what my Dad’s next car was going to be, and I bumped my head getting in and out, and I’m only just over 6 foot.

[@bw1376]

I've seen only one out there on the roads but I was in Paris! It may be fast but that's an awful lot of money for a Peugeot.

[@unclebanga5976]

Yet still better value for money than the top German manufacturers

[@jdmguy44]

Who the hell pays outright for a car though? The vast majority of us purchase new cars through finance. If the figures were right on this, I'd happily have one over any other large Euro wagon.

[@swegatron2859]

@@jdmguy44 doesn’t financing a car mean you pay even more than the original price tag, just over several years

[@lesvassallo5760]

Rare & Bonkers

[@tomstc]

I looked very briefly at one of these, but my lanky frame meant when I was in it only one person of average size could fit in the back. So useless really to a family of five

[@stevie007]

👌👌

[@Dean-does-Stuff-81]

the world is banging on about saving the planet. Sure it has an electric element ( all be it 20 miles, meh) but that things mpg is terrible... 50 grand is simply madness. Just get a skoda...

[@atreyuidaho]

You’re not being fair! You drive it like mad and expect a good range! 🤔 In fact you prefer the old-fashioned way of a good V6 which is bad on petrol and much taxed! Its time you moved to the 21st century!

[@advancedwindowandguttercle685]

Just like Joe Achilles with BMWs. Thinks he's a drag racer

[@markscars1069]

Ooh angry people. I drive my M340i xDrive relatively briskly and get well over 30mpg average. The correct view here, if you’re open to a little education, is that a smaller harder worked engine will often be less fuel efficient then a larger lustier unit asked to perform similar duties.

[@chriswiser9976]

LOL! Where to begin...the 508 completely outclasses the Bmw inside and out,not even close. Comparing a Mustang GT(completely different class of car that's a 2 seater with no cargo room) in fuel efficiency.lmfao no way you are getting even close to 25 mpg hooning it around Depreciation...first time you take that beemer in for an out of warranty service that depreciation gap will disappear and go in favor of the 508 instantly And constantly comparing it like you are some track star is even funnier. Most people don't drive like that and if so you should be on a track but that takes a bit more dedication and skill than I'm guessing you have judging by the sophomoric quality of this review. The 508 looks much better,rides better has a nicer interior and is much cheaper to service and insure oh and is FASTER...madness eh!?!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Let me guess what car you own… 508 PSE?

[@timrodierides]

Still not a motorbike

[@Tjcars100]

Fast but flawed

[@france4me117]

Peugeot is an absolute brilliant brand so stop trying to be an annoying English winger …

Hahaha

[@tochukwuezinwa2122]

Wow dude... Too many Complains, I don't feel like watching anymore... But can they intentionally make this car to be that bad and put fifty-five grand on it😏

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

It’s not bad… I just wanted it to be better than it is!
