I've watched dozens of reviews of this new 508, read dozens of articles and went to my local Peugeot dealer to try this car for myself. And I fully agree with the MAJORITY of reviewers : this 508 is the best blend of everything you can ask to a modern family sedan at this price point. Period. Matt, I'm a huge fan of yours, and I've been watching your videos for many many years now. But come on dude! What's wrong with you guys out there in Great Britain, when it comes to french cars??? The most UNFAIR comment you did in this video, to me, is about the driving. All the motoring journalists (as you like to call yourself) I've read, praise for this cars handling and comfort, especially with the adaptive suspension. Some have tested the 508 against the all new 3 Series, and have proved (by testing the cars like you should) that the 508 offers better handling than the BMW. Which is absolutely no surprise. You can blame Peugeot for many things, but for everything related to the chassis, come on, just admit that they're amongst the very best. Some honesty wouldn't hurt you, my dear Matt.

The design of this car is really cool. Welcome back Peugeot!

20 years later that interior will still look new

Why is he referring to it as a family hatchback? This car has the same proportions and dimensions as an Audi A5 Sportback. It has a big central touch screen standard, digital dash standard, parking sensors... The A5 at a much higher base price, with no parking sensors, no digital dash, same limited space inside gets almost no criticism. The same goes for the climate control on screen - if it's in a Peugeot, there is always a complaint. But if it's in a Touareg, suddenly everybody loves it...

This is without a doubt the best looking car in its class - inside and out.

This car makes me incredibly sad that we don't get Peugeots in North America.

[mathiasiversen]

The best looking car from Peugeot so far😍

[MaxwellEindhoven]

I've seen this car for 6 months or so on the Dutch roads now and it is stunningly beautiful!

Unbelievably good looking. What a time to be alive when PEUGEOTS are desirable. The entire range available today is nothing like what the competition offers.

[cbarry]

Beautiful car, however I do detect an anti french sentiment throughout this review - wonder if the car was made in the UK would he have been kinder?

12:10 is matt sitting on the towing bar ???

[matthiasfranssens]

This is one of the most beautiful cars i've seen over recent years!
very well done Peugeot!

I test drove the same 2L 180PS diesel except with 18 inch wheels. And I have to say I never really liked Peugots but I've fallen in love with the 508 and if I could afford the high spec one I would get it. It's amazingly comfortable and it's genuinely really really quick it pushes you into the seat quite hard and you can push it through a corner more than you think, it raises your adrenaline, must be even better with 19 inch wheels. Genuinely an impressive car especially for the price. Oh and the Focal audio system POPS

This car is pretty much defined. You love it or not. That simple. I like Peugeot, and I most of all like this model. Why? Because it's unique. And that is important to me. You buy this Peugeot, and no one will be confused whan they see you. They, for sure will recognize that it's a Peugeot. Great design.

[oneobjective]

Mat Watson is truly an asset to this channel, tons of charisma

[ТониАндреев]

"obviously that's setup for french drivers"
well, actually it's made for pretty much everyone except the British people who for some reason want to do the opposite of the whole world

[MCSMIK]

Coat hook position makes sense this way. as you’re not blocking the drivers blind spot as you do in every other car when using it.

If it had a VW/Audi badge, Matt would have wet himself.
