Pros: 308 2012. 1.6 HDI gearbox robot. When I bought the car, I had a mileage of 156,000 km, and I drove for approx. as. Technically I really liked it. I never topped up oil because I didn't have to, my nozzles didn't have to be replaced because there was no problem. Maybe it's because I drove at least 100km every day. I changed the oil every 15 000km, pouring in only Motul. The glow plugs didn't have to be changed, either, because at -25 started like clockwork. I changed the radiator once at 290000km, started to run, cost 120 euros, at 24000km I washed the soot filter 240euro, did not turn it out, the car did not smoke at all, see the exhaust from 0.01 to 0.04, it was taken for all years. Of course I changed the brakes, once the discs, three times the pads, twice the pivots and once the stabilizer link. I also changed the rear shock absorbers, I did it myself because it's very simple. That's all I've repaired. Four technical inspections in Latvia, all passed. The gearbox was a robot, the only thing I didn't like was how it shifted from first to second gear, it seemed like a lot of revs until it shifted, but then shifted very well. Not to say the car was loud, quiet enough. The pace was very good. I liked the trunk of such a car, because from floor to ceiling quite high. My conclusions, very good, economical car. I have now entered the Peugeot 508 sw, 2.0 design for 15 years. So far everything is fine, some time to drive, then I'll tell you something.
Cons: I can't say anything negative, the car never disappointed, was really reliable.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Easy and fast car. Excellent driving stability on varied road surfaces.
Cons: 1. The dealer's stated compound 4.5 L / 100km for current model is a bold-faced lie. Driving with a easy leg, an average of 6.4 can be reached. On highway just below 5 litres, provided that path of flat, without severe ups and headwinds, at 90 km / h cruise. As soon as faster, in five litres dont fits.
2. Automatic box for this model driving mads. At a faster manoeuvre is making a "hole", which often resulted in a manoeuvre should be repealed, because situation ended. This applies especially to city’ s regime.

Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Comfortable, spacious, economical while working.
Cons: This year's car needs not only AdBlue to be filled, but a special additive that must be filled at the dealer. The additive costs 100 € / l, but at least you can drive about 100,000 km with it. But it is another thing that can create problems. When buying a car, no one mentioned it.

Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Very normal car, and if not for negative then we would be great.

Pros: Cheap, reliable. Suspension of simple design, if there is little sense of car design, all repairs can be performed at home (as I did). Do not corrode.
