The Peugeot 508 SW dresses up as a sleek estate, blending Parisian flair with usable loadspace so you don't have to choose between style and weekend practicality. Inside it's a driver-focused cabin with quality materials and clever packaging that makes it a sensible, slightly mischievous choice for buyers who want an executive feel without the buttoned-up seriousness.

The Dacia Sandero is really great compared to the VW Polo, which I also have the pleasure of driving — more power, quicker acceleration, lots of space inside for five people as well as a large boot, and for me it’s a great car at a good price.

New car — but problems: water ingress in a vehicle that's only two years old, mould forming, a defective front plate and a black stain.

Hello — having tried the Sandero Stepway Extreme Auto 120.
The big downside is at the front, where large consoles on both the passenger and driver doors create a feeling that, as the kilometres go by, you have to drive with your knees squeezed together. On top of that, the small compartment between the two seats is more cumbersome than practical.
The rear seats are really spacious.
