  • Peugeot 308 SW - header

    Our 308 SW is racking up the miles, meaning we need to top up with AdBlue fuel additive. It has to be done every 12,500 miles and is there to help reduce harmful nitrous oxide emissions.

  • Peugeot 308 SW - front cornering

    Need to know: Drivers should top up AdBlue as soon as possible when needed, but usefully the car will count down the miles, too. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW - rear cornering

    In the coming weeks, the 308's winter tyres will be ditched for summer rubber, which should restore some of the car's sharp handling.

  • Peugeot 308 SW - touchscreen

    Touchscreen adds to the interior's classy feel, and comes with plenty of apps. If only it was more responsive, though. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW - glovebox

    Fusebox eats into glovebox space, so there's very little room for odds and ends.

  • Peugeot 308 SW - boot

    There are plenty of other storage solutions around the 308, though, including this compartment in the boot. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW - side

    The 308 SW is proving to be a comfortable and desirable family runaround.

  • Peugeot 308 SW - tyre

    Winter tyres blunt the 308's performance slightly, but swapping to summer rubber will restore the Peugeot's sharp handling. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW - AdBlue

    We bought a small AdBlue top-up for £7.84, which barely filled it up. 10-litre canister costs £10.33 and is a much more sensible buy.

    Peugeot has raised its game with the 308, and so far we're really enjoying our time with the SW estate.

  • Peugeot 308 SW rear cornering

    In the corners, the 308 SW feels sharp and responsive. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer dealer

    We picked out 308 up from Robins and Day in Chiswick, London.

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer front cornering

    Cornering is sharp and the 2.0-litre diesel engine packs a punch. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer interior

    The 308's cabin design looks clean and uncluttered, but operating the climate, entertainment and sat-nav controls via the touchscreen is frustrating, as it's slow to respond and there's too many menus.

  • The handling is good, but the large alloys give a nasty shock when you hit even a small pothole. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer cornering

    The 308 also becomes unsettled over larger dips in the road.

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer boot

    The boot is completely flat, plus there are storage compartments at the sides and runners to lash items down to. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer front seat

    Seat position needs to be high for a clear view of the dials, as the steering wheel hides them for some drivers.

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer info screen

    Touchscreen adds a classy look and feel to the interior of the 308, but it's not the easiest system to use and can be fiddly to operate on the move. 

  • Peugeot 308 SW long termer panoramic roof

    Panoramic roof contributes to the classy feel in the cabin.
