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

I started driving on a 306, owned a 307 for 10 years and now got the latest 308 for my wife. She couldn't be happier. The car drives very smoothly on damaged roads and the 6 speed auto is a delight. Powerful with a lot of torque. The soundproofing is excellent, even at 110k on the highway.
Although subjective, I find the design of this new model absolutely superb, both internally with a minimalist refined dashboard and externally with beautiful lines. I'm really glad Peugeot dramatically changed the style of their aging 307 and 308 (T7). As fo...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

Got this as a replacement for a 2011 308 Wagon 6 months ago. The model I got is a 2015 Allure Premium Diesel wagon used by Peugeot and had done 9000km. Have done close to 20000km now and time to share my experience.

First impression is that these 2 are entirely different cars. New model although lighter than the previous generation feels solidly planted on the road. May be the suspension and aerodynamics have been improved much and feels much better to drive than the previous generation. Turning circle is also feels smaller making it muc...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

The car interior is comfortable and when it is going well the drive is smooth and fuel efficient. But the Peugeot 308 has had numerous serious recurring mechanical problems. I bought the car new with only 10 k a year ago and it has broken down twice since on interstate trips, once where black smoke was oozing from the engine. It needed gearbox replacement at 2,500 k, and clutch replacement at 6,000K. Added to this, in its first 2 months the clutch failed while crossing a major big city intersection. There also appear to be problems with the eco...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

Bought as an undriven demonstrator. 17 trips to mechanic in 3.5 years. This car was perfectly maintained including all servicing, correct 95 type fuel, synthetic oil etc. etc. This was NOT due to lack of care or maintenance as suggested by another reviewer.

Problems were varied & endless, overheated after blown fuse, turbo pipe FELL OFF, timing chain stretched, coolant problems, numerous oil leaks, carbon build up, oil contamination in fuel injectors causing it to constantly misfire. The car was completely unreliable. It has major design fa...Read more
