Peugeot 508

Test drove this a week or so ago, seems to have missed this make than the usual contis I tried before. The first looks....exterior...its stylish and good looks, probably due to French designers are more artistic. Interior also...good design that comes with many noticeable features like HUD but its located in a "hole" at the dashboard, prefer it on the windscreen like SAAB or others. Auto release parking with front and back sensors for guidance...HID lights and both front seats with electric capability too if not wrong. The drive was excellent despite being a 1.6L even comes with turbo, according to salesperson, the FC is good too as it has like 150+bhp...overtaking is a breeze and there is only 1 Japanese make in this same category of CAT A that can match I think. Excellent torque and pickup. Overall, its a good car that is certainly worth considering if you are looking at a conti but only worry is the spare parts when it comes to repair.... Read More

Overall, 508 is comfortable, quiet and powerful. The drive is superb although roll is a bit excessive, small matter. Seats are well fitted to the contour of our back. Can compare with German cars like Passat, 320i and C180. Sure, 508 costs less than German cars but for a 1.6L car, it is expensive! Used car dealers do not like French cars and therefore, expect steep depreciation when trade-in. In Malaysia, Peugeot's agent sells this car with 5 years UNLIMITED mileage warranty. Usually, Malaysia driving ticks much higher mileage than Singapore. Agent in Singapore is only giving 3 years or 100000km warranty, and whichever comes 1st. Why the big short-change in warranty for Singapore? So that Singapore's agent can profit more $$$ from after-sale?... Read More
