New Peugot 308

[Traci66]

I've just ordered myself one of these, loved it when I took it for a test drive, just wondering if anyone has first hand experience of this car and what you think of it.

[Hopkirk]

Bit late for that if you've already ordered it.

[Traci66]

I know Hopkirk, but just asking.

[Hopkirk]

Sorry, I forgot I wasn't in Chatterbank.

Peugeot make some pretty good cars so I expect you'll be happy.

I used to get a variety of hire cars at work, and always enjoyed the Pugs.

On the basis that it's French I seriously wouldn't touch one,
just an opinion.

What Car’s 'reliability of car brands' survey end of 2017: Peugeot place 27th out of 32 :/

Traci - I think all makes of cars today are really good.

[Baldric]

French Cars in my experience have always had reliability problems, especially electrical.

[snags]

indeed. Trade it in now whilst still new and buy something of similar value with the proceeds, like a toaster or a kettle.

[Quoi]

ignore them traci - my daughter has the previous model (an estate version) and she loves it. It also hasnt let her down at all.

I don't know what the fuss is with the reliability of French cars.
My current car is a Peugeot 308. Approx 4 years old - had it approx 2 years and never had a problem.
Car before that was a Peugeot 307 - had it for 9-10 years - never had a problem.
Car before was a Citroen ZX - can't remember how long I had it .... prob at least 8 years and never had a problem.
The trick - get your car serviced regularly. Look after your car and it'll look after you :)

[Hopkirk]

At least it's not a Fiat.

Fix
It
Again
Tomorrow
