Peugeots look nice & have a functional interior but that accounts for nothing if it breaks down every 5 seconds. This is the worst, most unreliable car I've ever had the misfortune of owning. Let my experience be a warning for others - DO NOT buy a Peugeot. Buy a reliable Japanese or Korean car instead.

In the last 9 months my 2011 petrol wagon with 75,000kms has had the following issues:

- Oil Filter mounting Leak (spewing oil)
- Thermostat housing Leak (spewing coolant)
- Coolant level sensor replaced
- Oil pressure sensor replaced
- Cylinder head cover replaced
- Window washer pump replaced (done twice) ...Read more

Have had for 8 years from new. Commute (on a freeway) every day. Approaching 110,000 kms.

Cannot overstate how useful rear layout in wagon (not just fold-down but completely removable seats) has turned out to be.

Mechanically, have had only trivial issues -- note that this is a manual diesel, not a Petrol & has been mostly freeway commuting. Overall extremely happy with reliability.

Peugeot says to service every 6mo/10,000km but apart from first 2 years I've been doing every 9-12mo.

Mechanical Issues:
- Center console LCD fades & is unreadable when temp goes above ~35 degrees. ...Read more

For about the first year, the car seemed OK, but there was always a constant hesitation that occurs intermittently. Over 15 instances of reporting the intermittent issue still has no resolution. This vehicle has had 3 timing chain repairs, 2 BPGA units replaced, 2 engine decarbs (within 4,000kms of each other), a fuel pump failure and a complete failure of all the central control items like GPS, Radio, CD, heating/cooling and that took 6 weeks to get the parts in. A number of other minor recall issues as well, but I can live with minor issues, ...Read more

Hi
I have owned this 7 seater for last 2 years, bought with 105000km, currently got 165000km....
All I can say is what delight to drive..when I first started looking for a 7 seater I couldn’t find anything that had good fuel ecconomy, then I came across Peogeot 308 2.0 diesel, this has been nothing but so economical and powerful that I drive all the time, on long trips I can get 1000k which is around 5.5l/100km.
Mechanically has no issues, services are easy enough every 8000k, fuel filter, Oil filter are all easy to get to under the hood, I ...Read more

Purchased our vehicle with 50000kms on the clock. We’ve now done 140,000km with no mechanical problems (fingers crossed).

Ours is the 7 seater and has proven to be a versatile family wagon. We have 3 kids and the car proved to be one of the few that could fit 3 car seats across the back seat, by virtue of the fact that each seat is individual and exactly the same size. Last 2 seats are for small kids only, ie under 12, ideally in the 7-8 yo range. As a 6foot adult, the last row is impossible to access.

One gripe is the rain sensing wipers...Read more

An unreliable model, provided by an unreliable car company. Lovely to drive and would like to upgrade to a newer Peugeot, but will go back to a reliable Jap car.

Our mechanic attempted to fix one problem but Peugeot sent the wrong part, then sent a part that our mechanic needed to modify but Peugeot never bothered to tell him this, nor how to do it. In the garage for two weeks awaiting Peugeot to do their job properly. The part didn't work properly of course. Immediately after that, the STOP light, airbag warning light and seatbelt warning ...Read more

The driving experience is good. The panoramic sunroof was beautiful. There was lots of legroom and extra 2 seats would be useful for carpooling.

The running costs! As soon as we bought it we took it in for a service, as my husband's habit. Because it was a Peugeot the mechanic charged $200 for a small car part because it had a little light that said it had an environmental warning for emissions. The week later found the same problem was not fixed. Took it back. Another $200. In 2 weeks of owning it it has cost us $400 in car parts for a litt...Read more

We bought one brand new. It is now 4 years on and it is such a tired and failing car. 40,000 kms on the car. We went on a trip to the QLD / NSW border. The car travelled well until we got there. Parked for lunch on the second day got back into the car and emergency warnings all over the control panel. The car wasn't firing on one of the cylinders but heeding the warning, we stopped driving the car and got it towed to a dealership. The car couldn't just say "warning Le spark plug!". No that would be too easy!. The dealership in Broadwat...Read more

After 2 years driving, I found noise from the front when applying brake, contacted Peugeot dealership and waited for 2 or 3 weeks for inspection, they found nothing but insisted to charge me $160 for checking even it was still under 3 years factory warranty, i made a complaint to Peugeot Australia & NZ, and was told that was the relationship between you and the dealership, Peugeot OZ&NZ did not want to get involved.
After reading so many negative comments about this model from this website and experienced the long waiting list of repairing wh...Read more

I bought my car new and it has cost me so much money with everything that has continued to break and fall apart on it. It is a consistent liability to have. Every Michelin tyre has burst, the 1st one at 6 months. I now happily have regular, cheap tyres that last! At 58,000k I have had my 2nd lot of disc and brake pads changed, my air/con now has a fault, it's a tiny pice of metal that won't allow the cool air through...$1500 to replace, this is on top of the $1200 service I just had to have for more brake pads and discs, the tube that carries ...Read more

I bought this car second hand from a dealer in Cape Town, south africa.

Worst car i have ever owned. I had it for a grand total of 6 hours when i bought it a year and 3 months ago. I took it in the day after as it wasnt doing anything at all. Peugeot then took a year and 3 months to get the vehicle back to me........I have ahd the car for a week again and now the depollution light has come on and the car is shot again!!!!! iv had it for 4 days since the dealership dropped the vehicle with me. They did give me a courtesy car while they had mi...Read more
