Finally leaving the peugeot family.

Finally after 2 peugeot cars I decided to swap to something else.

My first one was 2019 308 with Puretech.

Good:

- Engine was actually peppy for its size.

- Ok quality

Bad:

- Engine had some issues with overheating which had caused to misfire occasionally. it was cooking spark plugs.

- The infotainment sucked

My second car was 2022 308 with BlueHDI

Good:

- Nice interior, the physical buttons was an upgrade.

- Good handling, well balanced.

Bad:

- Continuous adblue crystallisation issues, had to dump tons of anti crystallisation liquid and the error still comes back every week or two.

- Fuel consumption on highway is not much better than Puretech. (above 100km/h consumption skyrockets)

- Infotainment system while nice, tends to freeze, drop CarPlay for no reason, few time the entire gauge cluster had to restart while driving.

All in all I don’t think I will be back, the adblue issues were the last straw, the service didn’t even want to do warranty repair of the system, just remove the error.
