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.

Peugeot 408
VS
Peugeot's 308 SW and 408 both blend style with practicality but take different approaches: the 308 SW is a traditional estate focused on cargo flexibility, while the 408 uses a fastback, raised profile for a more coupe‑like, SUV‑tinged look. This comparison looks at interior space, driving …

Peugeot 308 vs 308 SW: same sharp styling and crisp, comfy drive, but the SW stretches its legs with estate-car practicality—think a boot well over 600 liters versus the hatch’s ~400. If you love the look and a nimble feel, go hatch; if school runs, flat-packs, and weekend escapes beckon, the SW is …

The Corolla Touring Sports is the pragmatic estate: lower, nimbler and generally more economical, with a clever loadbay that keeps luggage organized without the SUV tax.
