Peugeot 308 FAQs

• Is the Peugeot 308 a good buy?

  In a segment that features a number of upmarket European names targeting performance and comfort, and many models out of Asia prioritising value and efficiency, the Peugeot 308 strikes a rich balance of both worlds and is a name that deserves to be on any new car buyer's shortlist if they are interested in a hatchback. The 308 is a snappy little unit with great looks, superb comfort levels, extensive features and gear, decent space, and a lively level of performance on the road. It's also fairly priced, so that makes it a solid choice.

• Is there a recall on the Peugeot 308?

  There have been a number of recalls in Australia on the Peugeot 308 in recent years, so you should always confirm directly with your local authorities or the manufacturer to see if you have a model that falls under one of the recalls. Some of the recent issues include problems with suspension bolts, door locks, faults with the fuel pipe, and braking system issues that had the potential to cause the wheels to tilt and reduce steering control. Remember, most makes and models of car are subject to recalls at some point, and they are often proactive and preventative measures to remedy potential issues before they arise.

• What's the difference between the Peugeot 307 and 308?

  With an all-new Peugeot 308 in Australia, it's time to briefly reflect on the fact that this snazzy little hatch was unveiled as a successor to the company's popular 306 and 307 hatchbacks when released back in 2007. Since then, Peugeot has released a number of iterations of the 308, and in comparison with the 307 it boasts a slightly wider and longer body - ensuring more space inside - as well as an interior design and fit-out that many would consider to be more stylish, comfortable and sophisticated.
