Peugeot 508 Review

This car appeals to me me with its beauty and the fact that Peugeot. I love this brand, because I know that virtually any model of it will be made and adjusted as necessary.

This member of the middle class in the line of the brand - really car. With a capital. In the sense that the device is not, as is often the case now. It certainly is beautiful and solid, including the design of the dashboard and interior - in a class. Impozanten front (I like his grille, headlights and the logo at the "beak") and rear (red lights), sporty and elegant in profile. In general, as you looked - the car is beautiful and photogenic from any angle, by far the most beautiful Peugeot in recent years.

Beautiful and noble daytime lights. Today, this "option" is especially important in the shape of the car, plays a key role in perception, because it is used almost constantly. The car looks quite naturally to "sixteenth" wheels with fat tires (215/60), which gives it extra comfort and safety. Inside, I like the center console and a button, they are stylish and pleasing to the touch. As in the design of plastic, and leather chairs in the finishing.

I love the brand, "Mulka» Peugeot - to move up to the driver remote mirror. They unload the front rack, ensuring excellent visibility in the blind zone is often on other cars. There is another "Mulka," Do not leave me indifferent: all arrows devices at motor start make a complete turn to go (so-called. "Swing").

But this "508-th" is not unusual. He's one of the first issues. As a result, it has navigation (great national fonts), intelligent bortkompyutera, cruise, electric adjustment of both (!) Seats, USB, adaptive headlights - even index number of riders in the cabin and seat belts are fastened, but no parking sensors and automatic folding mirrors! The so-called French version. The French are known to park a start to shake, and the mirrors are used to fold the hand. Inconveniently have long to adapt (which to many may seem like a luxury, but a car is a business-class, in fact).

There are still uncomfortable, strange for this time and this level of vehicle. For example, there is no place to put the phone: have to hang a special holder on the windscreen, which significantly limits the visibility in certain positions. However, in the machine installed Bluetooth, but still not comfortable. Do not set the bottle upright in the pockets in the doors and the niche they slammed ride in motion.

There are structural deficiencies: at low (sport) landing I for one can not see the display in front of a corporate front window, which shows the current speed limits and cruise. You have to choose the "commander" landing that for such a strange car. A corner of the front door, "tailored" so poorly that not once hit in the face when you open the door to the cramped conditions, and not only me.

But set "508-y", like all Peugeot, perfectly: there is easy, with a margin of thrust, smoothly, predictably and accurately on the gas, steering and brakes. Imperceptible jumps over "sleeping policemen". Pleasant and comfortable steering wheel, despite its sporty "trim" from the bottom. Peugeot 508 claims the status of the car with a sporty twist. This is indicated by the very small screen pops up from the dash speed, full speed shooter devices at motor start, straightening of the wheel, the ability to switch the automatic to manual mode and operate the machine gearshift paddles.

There are even more outspoken mode S (and the "snowflake", which allows more control over the car on a slippery road), but in fact all of these change and shifts in the nature and behavior of the machine makes little difference. Though to be the end objective, S («M» - on the display) did podsobiraet car: does harder (and more accurate) steering, shock absorbers, stronger - the brakes. Car in the «S» to lead more enjoyable.

But the box, of course, sorry for himself: an active engine braking does not occur, only the roar of the engine and turns up the arrow. But overclocking "on the fingers" (paddle shifters) is in this mode is active and sporty enough for such a vehicle. Seats with backwater - from the same sport, "series", but seem to be too small, though, in general, fit and ergonomics driving tweaked optimally.

The car, in other words, busy - not tailored somehow, every detail thoroughly thought out and the place offered. Sedan in the full sense of the term. A solid thing. On the back of the couch is enough space, there comfortably, has a climate. Peugeot 508 - a good alternative to even the Audi A6, because of the control they get no less pleasure, style and reliability level, and is "French" nearly half. In this car, I feel the Parisian bourgeoisie: Peugeot this class always prefer the middle and higher class of wealthy French peers, lawyers, and journalists.

In my instance, I do not mind cloth upholstery with leather rim of his seat. On the contrary, I consider this the best salon in almost any car: practical, beautiful and better for health.
