Great car with a smooth ride. I have 308 SW GT, with the 180HP PHEV engine

150,000 km in 2 years — SW BlueHDi 1.5L 30cv. Comfortable, excellent gearbox. Maybe a bit noisy on the motorway, with air noise around the front doors. A slightly punchier engine would be welcome. The entire timing system was replaced under warranty at 110,000 km.

Suzuki Vitara

The Vitara is a city-smart SUV with a cheeky streak of off-road promise, perfect for drivers who want practicality without pretense. It’s honest, easy to live with and surprisingly likeable, a sensible companion for everyday adventures and weekend escapes.

A very pleasant car for an affordable price. The only downside is poorly soundproofed doors and windows.
