People say it's an unreliable car. Arnt all cars unreliable, people treat cars like kitchen white goods or gadgets. Expect it to work with no maintenance or care through many conditions for many miles over the years. Then ignore any weird noises, movement or rattling, then get shocked when it fails an MOT or you break down.. If the masses today drove 1960's cars you'd all be parked up. Yes due to mass manufacturing, you get good and bad off the production line. But it's a machine you have to maintain it and if you don't know then learn, stop being soft, saves you a lot in garage fees, as that's most of your bill.

I have 308 1,6 HDI, and i have driven 257 000km with it. Really good car, economical, fast, easy ti handle and maintaine, bretty also, because my car has alloy wheels, tinted windows and roof spoiler, I had few problems with FAP filter and brakes when car was just bought, but they went under warrat. I live on country where we have lots of snow and cold in winter (like -35 in two months last year), No problems with starting and driving through snow.

the visibility in the back isn't better in any hatchback, this is the structure. By checking the legroom please slide the front seat in a few positions. Seems like the dashboard is far away in the front so you could move the seat forward a little bit

All that being said; the Peugeot 308 is a fantastic car; it effortlessly climbs hills, has no problem fitting in the cramped down-town Amman area, is a joy on the freeway up North or down South, and the engine sounds fantastic. It also has generous boot space for a hatch; and the a/c works very well. I do not think rear-room is problematic (my seating position actually leaves me (I'm 177cm) with sufficient space for a melon between my knees & the seat in front.

I love this car: I rent it occasionally here in Jordan, & I must say, WELL DONE PEUGEOT! It's fun to drive, and with 156hp of PRINCE you feel like a racer: even the BMWs and Mercedes' cannot keep up and it's massively practical. It takes some getting used to but its speed is such that I love every minute of driving it. As for being stiff (in suspension) I say, 'so what?' I actually like a bit of bump!

How does this car compare with the Citroen C4 mk2? I have the 308 with the 2.0 hdi engine, and its perfect, everything I want in a car. Sound insulation is just incredible, the suspension is very comfortable, idk why they say its firm. I dont get tired on longer trips at all. Anyway, we need a second car in my family, and I am in a dilema, get another 308, or go with the C4 mk2? Any suggestions?

Timing belt and water pump have recently been changed and it's done 63,000 miles.. it looks good in shark grey. It's a daily, so it will be all I need.

Although the suspension is stiff and firm; I would not say it's too bad; not as 'jarring' as a Honda Civic (Asian edition) and certainly the Peugeot has better acceleration and is funner to drive. The Civic by contrast is more of a 'sporty every-day car' whereas the 308 is a 'fun-drive' vehicle. I rented one (silver) filled it up with 95 Oct petrol & BROOOOOOOOOOM it was the best ride ever!

I drove Peugeot 308 with a 1600cc petrol turbo (2011) with 156hp. Here in Amman, Jordan (which is hilly) it is useful and especially in our cramped streets (cramped w/a lot of cars parking but otherwise wider than UK roads) plus it is sporty. However, where I come from hatch-backs are not desirable; and Peugeot is viewed as an odd car (it depreciates quickly). Also, at 21,500 Dinars (about 20,000 GBP) for a country with about 1/5 the income of the UK, forget it.

I agree, and that is why I never buy a Peugeot on its first or second model year. I am considering getting the 308 (2011) here in Jordan, partially as the price drops quickly if unsold, mainly because the 2008 and 2009 models are a lot of maintenance bugs within 3-5 years. To be fair however, it's much better than the 307 or early 206s and 207s, and it's fun to drive. Another issue is that we get the 156 hp Prince engine, versus 140 hp for pre-2010 editions.
