You recently mentioned that some brands dont deserve their reputation for being robust (Volvo). Peugeots go the other way; ive has a couple and they've been really strong cars

@VanillaLibrarian Ай бұрын

New Volvos, I assume? His opinion when he did the road trip in a V70 seemed quite the contrary. The pre-SPA (~2015) and especially pre-P3 (~2007) Volvos with actual Volvo engines get sold with 250K+ miles on them because the owner kicked the bucket before the car did around here. I think they definitely /earned/ their reputation for being robust, they just perhaps don't deserve to continue waving that banner in the current decade.

All Peugeot 308's slightly pull left, it is normal. The Peugeot dealers call it "wondering" and it has been designed that way. I have a 2009 Peugeot 308 1.6 vti petrol automatic with 92K on the clock. I love it and it drives like dream. It is Euro4 so I will keep it as much as it goes really. Their steering wheels get worn rather quickly though. I truly enjoyed this video.

Despite the poor reviews that some people give Peugeot, I bought a nine year old 206 diesel in 2014 for our daughters to use when learning to drive. It had about 70,000 miles on it. We live in France, but I sourced a left hand drive French registered car from a dealer in the UK. It was quite a high spec with aircon, electric windows, cruise control, cd player and steering wheel controls; They were of a similar mind to you, in doing what needed to be done. Cambelt change, service, four new tyres, new exhaust, wiper blades and a couple of other things. I paid £1750 for it and both our daughters had a lot of use from it. I drove it back to the UK several times and it never missed a beat. I sold it five years later when both daughters had their own cars, getting just under £1400 for it. A great little car and I'd have another. I've also recommended the garage to numerous people. Treat people correctly, being honest as you do, pays dividends.

Thats a decent commuter for a year or two by the look.

I have a friend which used to have one of these he got for free from his grandma which can't drive anymore. It had (which is still in his family, passed down to his sister) 1.6 petrol engine with 120HP and I was surprised how good that car was driving. The only thing it had wrong was the AC stopped blowing cold air but a quick refill and everything was well. Another thing is the roof padding was really soggy so it looked like a tent on the inside and there was always a low engine oil level on startup (which he checked manually and it was always full) but other than that it was a great car. The one thing that I truly loved about the car is the amount of room you have in the backseats, something you usually don't see in a hatchback even if its fairly big for one.

Did a fuel filter on a focus once and it wouldn’t restart, had to force fuel into the filter to ensure it didn’t suck air. Don’t want to do one again 🫣. I’m sure someone with more mechanical knowledge can explain it better. I think there’s no pump in the tank and it uses a Vaccum to get the fuel from the tank instead.

The UK seems to be the only country to slate French cars. Most of Europe as far as I can see buy them as 4 wheels to use as transport not coveted possessions. I have had Renault, Peugeot and Citroen never had electrical problems at all. Had an axle failure on an ancient 206 (same as any old torsion bar). All have been serviced by me and been great cars. Not one of these cars afflicted with rusting body or chassis unlike older cars. All my cars have been older gen but I would have no hesitation in buying that car here😊.
