Our 2015 Peugeot 308 suffered a premature deterioration of the engine camshaft timing belt. Car has 50,00km, is over 4 years old and out of warranty. Peugeot covered both labour and parts for a sizeable repair job as a goodwill gesture. Great customer support! Much appreciated.

The T9 308 is a return to form for Peugeot. Ours is 5 years old and rock solid. It's got every feature under the sun (blindspot monitor, active cruise, speed sign recognition, front and rear sensors/camera and the list goes on). The best seats you will ever find in a small hatch and the genius i-cockpit and small steering wheel. Yes it costs more to service, BUT it only needs to be done once per year and is an exceptionally reliable, comfortable car. You just don't find this sort of quality in the Japanese or Korean makes around the same price. Peugeot has a very exciting future ahead with the quality cars they are now bringing out.

Like another poster, I have had my 308 for the last 3 years as a fleet car. I have suffered from constant issues very similar to Mooshie. Constant ignition and spark plug problems. Massive oil leakage problems and various other niggles too multiple to list. The engine light remains on constantly, I have to ignore it now or I would never get any work done as I would need to live at the dealership. If it were my money I would have hired a lawyer to get a refund by now. As I said this is a fleet car so I know many people who drive the 308 and all have the same issues so don’t kid yourself and think I just got a Lemon, it’s endemic across the brand.Do not spend your money on this car.

Good car with the lightweight body and cool trim and good on fuel about 6ltr/100kmh. Value for money! The only downside, it needs RON 95 min and synthetic engine fuel which is slightly higher when comes to servicing but with an interval of 15,000 km that is justified. Good car!

This is my 3rd Peugeot car. This time I bought a diesel 308. Fantastic fuel for long distance although I usually use it around town. Still good and you can put it on the eco use so the engine stops at the lights. I only need to service the car once a year which is why I love Peugeot and solid European car cheaper the others.

I drive approximately 80-100kms every day to and from work and it's a great car. Super quick, smooth and fun to drive. So many features including massage seats, heated seats, keyless entry and start. Adaptive cruise is helpful and works well, leather seats are really comfortable and the panoramic roof gives a lot of light. Haven't had any issues and purchased second hand. Only reason it's 4 and not 5 star is how high the fuel consumption is and how sensitive the rain sensor wipers are. The car costs me $90 a week to fill up with 98unleaded and the wipers go pretty fast at the slightest bit of rain.

Great car drove from Switzerland to Germany on the motorways
Super !!
one main issue I burnt my index finger when starting the car on pressing the silver start button. the sunshine is so strong shining throught the side and front window that the silver start button gets very hot ! . Motivation idea where should the start button be ?

Quiet, supple suspension, well put together, fabulous engine with what should be a reliable automatic transmission. Averaging less than 5L/100 over 35,000 kms, mainly county driving with economy in mind.
Quality interior, no rattles and comfortable seats.
Servicing is not cheap though and the clean design interior requires HVAC, phone and audio adjustments via the central touch pad.

I have the 1.2T. It could be a great car, but mine suffers badly from Low Speed Pre Ignition (LSPI). On a good day it means you get a shudder through the car when accelerating back up to speed from low revs particularly under load (i.e. up hills), on a bad day, it means destruction of the spark plugs and/or engine, and a tow. Could be great. But isn't. Peugeot can't, or won't, fix it under warranty by the way. I would unfortunately avoid this car until they sort out their LSPI issues.

This is a fabulous car to drive. In manual format it is punchy and smooth. Very economical. Once you have mastered the GPS, it is easy to use and quite clever. Ride and handling are excellent. Good A/C and ventilation. The diesel engine is very responsive and yet quite economical. Actually this was a rental car we used in Ireland a couple of months ago. The car had 60,000 km on it.
