PAY ATTENTION Germany. 508 Peugeot Fastback Review.... 

For sure 😍

. . NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. . ,

They did

Roger bailey - Totally agree with you, especially regarding main stream TV. Just take a look at the two complete and utter muppets that the BBC are using for the new TopGear series in 2019. Freddy Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness!!?? Jeez... What are the BBC up to with that pairing??

Exactly. So that's what our licence fee is going towards? First that ginger whinger Chris Evans, now these two. Excellent review though.

Logan Jones they are biased, they promote VAG products because they are good but the others are usually promoted due to sponsorships. Any channel promoting a car while being paid is when I unsubscribe as that’s bias

This is very true as most of the mainstream review channels always kinda pan any of the French makers and bum up anything from Germany!

Why would they not be biased towards VAG cars? I'm sure they pay better then almost anyone.

yes, exactly old 406 was as comfortable as Mercedes S class, I was searching for road bumps and driving over then on purpose to know when it will be noticeable. And no one believes it, who hasn't been in one

. . NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. . ,

Bombe Søren : There is no shame liking cod ! ( moi , j' adore .)

It's working on becoming one.

It's actually more comfortable as you don't look down as far

Rick Maverick What Car? Amongst other British motor magazines always give Peugeots average reviews as they can’t stand the fact the French brand Peugeot, sell a lot of cars to the UK market, so they go out of their way to try and talk people out of buying one but quite willingly advise people to buy polluting, dull and expensive VWs!

Let me know if you do go for the 508 because I’m in the very same position as you. My A4 is due to be changed and I’m seriously thinking of getting this too

xdaeq2 he’ll be back a little sooner than that. We’ve got the new Mustang coming up next ...

The Zanzibarbarian you're right of course about top gear - it's lost

@@RogerBaileyOnCars - I struggled to watch TopGear with the current three, but watched purely because Chris Harris was there. OK. We all know he's no Clarkson, Hammond or May, but he's a proper driver and talks sense. Most of the time. But now with Flintoff and McGuinness coming, I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to watch. Flintoff is just a retired cricketer ffs. if he wants to comment on cricket, I have no problem with that. But cars!!?? As for McGuinness. He was only half decent playing a "bit part" as a doorman in Phoenix Nights. I find him totally unfunny and a total turn off when he appears on TV. And to think the BBC are going to be paying them half a million each!!?? They're only using them as they are so called "big names"... Not in motoring they're not!! Hammond and May were totally new us when they came onto TG, so why don't (Didn't!) the BBC do something like Clarkson did and get in new blood? It's because they're probably friends of friends. Look at the BBC programmes now and see just how many current TV presenters are doing stuff that's not associated with what they have ever been doing before. Which is normally the news. Fiona Bruce on the Antiques Roadshow. Another turn off presenter. She's an example of someone who knows SFA about the job (Antiques!), but as she's a news presenter, she gets the job and another fat salary to boot.

Yeah, needs a 2.0 thp petrol, or a more pwerful 2.0hdi at least

@@thezanzibarbarian5729 well, have you seen the new 508 Sport Engineered? 400 HP, Hybrid, 0-100 4.3 sec and torque 500 NM (and of course, AWD). I am waiting for that 😍

@@corneliusscipio777- I tried to find info about this souped up 508 on the Peugeot webpage, but couldn't find a jot. I look forward to seeing this beast when/if it appears.

I wonder if the SW addresses the space issues

Here in Paris, It’s so much fun to watch the show of uber’s users struggling go get in and out of these new 508. In fact, this is so funny, we have to salute Peugeot who, with this ridiculous sporty sedan, put a smile on the parisien people witch is a huge achievement, bravo Peugeot !

In Yorkshire we would call you a know all....no fuck all.

If I am not wrong, the gearbox it's the same that use Volvo. And a guys from Italy (I am Italian, and always we have those "hate-love relationship" with the frenchs, then we don't speak good about french cars 🤣) have proven the car in a fucking curvey road... For them (225 HP) the gearbox was very good. Personally, this car is one of my option together with the Giulia.

@cornelius. Thanks for your comment. You’re absolutely right, the peugeot gearbox eat8 is made from Aisin in Japan. Aisin manufacture gearbox for Volvo, peugeot, bmw and so on ... The peugeot gearbox software is the issue. You can drive on 8th gear at 80 km/h witch is fine, but the hesitation to upshift and downshift is hilarious. It’s a shame because peugeot is coming from a long way. I’m sure the next generation of gearbox will be fine.

@@porsche911235 but you can use the pads, in the sport mode. Anyway, I think that it's a software "problem", because I remember watched videos from Spanish guys that proves the 508 pre-sale and they mentioned what you say. However, post-sale 508 reviews shown a different results. We must wait a pair of months, this car it's the big chance for Peugeot to beat the Germans (good cars, but a lot of them overrated)

@cornelius, the gearbox can’t deal with the massive turbo-lag of the tiny 1.6 , it’s simple at that. With the 225hp in D, when you ask for power to overtake, thinks became dangerously interesting, believe me. An hybrid version is coming soon and I believe it will be average. Peugeot beating german cars ... hum ... I really don’t think Peugeot deserves it. When audi won at le mans they give the world the R8 When Peugeot win le mans, they give the world ... nothing at all. I don’t want to “french bashing”, but in france, people who cares about driving bought Japanese or Germans cars. Sometimes there are extremists who drives RS renault’s hothatchs and they cry “mommy mommy” , when a 147 gta is nearby 😢😢 If you care about style this 508 is fantastic. If you care about cars walk away. (Sorry 4 my bad english)

as a fuel.., i tend to agree.., but no doubt of how the torque changes the comfort and easy of longer trips
