Does not look brand label "noble"But in this renovated Peugeot 508 GT shines its image, technology, equipment and quality to also feel a formidable sedan.

The far you can get a good product of a careful volume manufacturer and where the limits fixed below a prestigious premium manufacturer, It has taken me many times to reflect on what the lion’s tail or head mouse. Today I asked again this renewed Peugeot 508, If the presumable added value of a Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series, for example, it is simply subjective or there is also a technology that justifies it. No knot are the sum of the two (apart from the personality of each model), but do not think the technical rigors of Peugeot 508 GT and surely detract from its relationship category / price is very favorable to him, when in addition it does not penalize or questionably low level in any way.

Only in urban maneuvers You may feel your heavy direction.

In its motor you find one ubiquitous response, powerful, but like today are characterized diesel, with surprising escalation in delivery, which begins to be profitable from just over idle. The automatic transmission also has much to say on that nice drive and carefree of your engine. Has only 6 speed, when the 7 and 8 speed They are already the order of the day on the latest changes in premium brands. But it lacks development in 6th, which moves almost as much as those models up to 8 speeds, to roll highway regimes very low They are contributing to actually achieve extraordinary usage.

The jumps between gears themselves are logically more open, and some slippage which allows torque converter penalizes the final delivery, but not like from running. Less pleasant is guiding his rigid lever, with positions stepped up its modes it difficult and uncomfortable to use.
