Peugeot 308May 2011

Robert Slater28 August 2010

I've been driving a 308hdi 90bhp 5 door for the last 2 years. It is a great car and the engine feels more nippy than a 1.6 litre petrol. It has great fuel efficency, feels very spacious, and best of all costs just £30 to tax! I also find the engine cruises very happilly at 90mph...so happilly you get a fright when you realise thats your speed. There is some wind noise from the nearside rear window at high speeds but its generally a great drive. The large front pillars contain Airbags but sadly this creates a large blind spot when driving. I've also had 2 warrenty claims, one for the seals in the rear window which took the dealer 2 attempts to fix, and one due to water collecting inside one of the back doors. The worst feature on the car is actually the windscreen. When driving in bright sunlight or at night there is a lot of refletion off the dashboard and instrument lights. At night this is particularly problematic as I struggle to see where I'm going. Overall, great car and good value for money.

I have a 308hdi 110 and at first it seemed to be a good car, but after the mileage hit 400, i have noticed a considerable power loss and the steerings tracking keeps going out of alignment, the stereo also keeps playing up ejecting cd's, skipping tracks and fast forwarding when ever it desires, it also wants to stall when it wants to. The only good thing i say about the car is that it has great brakes, i will not be buying this car at the end of the three years mobility agreement.

I have had my 1600HDI 90HP 308 for over a year now. The car hasnt put a foot wrong the only trouble being a recent problem with the passanger side rear door. The dash indicator kept telling me that the door was not locked even though it was.This meant that the car could not be locked. I noted that when I disengaged the child lock function the problem disappeared. I returned the car to the main dealers who replaced the door lock under warranty and that cured the problem. Otherwise the car has a suprising turn of speed for a diesel though you forget its an oil burner as there is no waiting for plugs to heat up. The MPG is great in these times of ever rising prices and the interior room is good too. The MP3 stereo means your music can go on one CD so it cuts down changing it. I certainly would buy another one. I believe theres a 309 coming out in 2012. Bring it on I say! .

I own 308 1.6 VTi petrol ( formerly a Ford focus owner) nice interior, raspy engine, noisy gear box, poor economy ,body roll and desperatly needs a rear anti roll bar. Outside styling seems to have been done when the designers were drunk. Over all , its not a bad little motor but it feels cheap and nasty! Will be going back to Foprd when i can.

I purchased the 308 Turbo in year 2010 September and noticed a considerable power loss, engine vibrate , sudden increase of speed and the steerings tracking keeps going out of alignment . Vehicle is struggling on performance. and skipping tracks and fast forwarding when ever it desires. Between one year , already claims under warranty twice... Overall, disappointment on the quality of the engine performance.

Bought a 308 2.0 diesel after owning a 08 Mondeo 2.0 diesel that was the worst car I ever owned and always in the shop with motor problems. Love the 308 with it's lovely leather interior and quiet and powerful engine. The whole car seems put together well and is very comfortable on the motorway and I average over 50 mpg in my driving.
