You know what? Immediately I saw that 508 in your post I was kinda impressed and remembered a friend of mine bought one a few months ago. I called him up a few mins ago to ask him about the car only to hear unbelievable tales of woe. He bought the car brand new from Peugeot Poland and shipped it in. The car is still less than 2000km and has been immobile for several weeks now due to brake and ABS issues. He has already spent 200k trying to fix it unsuccessfully at Roadtruckers and they are now asking him to pay $1800 to replace the ABS pump which may not even fix the problem. He's now considering shipping the car back to Poland. Damn shame. |

sultaan: My choices would be as follows: Chrysler 300 Vs Camry, Peugeot 508 - Chrysler 300C. Chevy Cruze Vs Peugeot 301 Vs Toyota Corolla - Peugeot 301. Grand Cherokee Vs Durango Vs Prado - Chrysler Grand Cherokee. Dodge Ram 1500 Vs Toyota Hilux - Dodge Ram 1500. 1 Like |

^^^I would have gone with the same choices as Sienna's with the exception of the 301. My preference will easily be the Corolla as I don't see myself riding a 3 cylinder car with manual window controls in this age! Please don't crucify me its my choice anyway, others may like it. Besides, the Corolla has gained some reputation of reliability at this side of the world. 1 Like |

And electric windows is an option too.  |

Gee2728: So every city car must have V8 with 600 hp engine inside the engine bay? Is every car targeted at every one? If it doesn't interest you, waka pass, leave am as ebi. Those that buy Kia Picanto or Toyota Prius know that Camry V6 exist, yet they chose the other. Some want it green, let them be. You can't have both power and green at the same time. Ikenna. |

Besides, the Corolla has gained some reputation of reliability at this side of the world. What part of "Green car" written all over the Peugeot 301 Access with 3-cylinder engine 5-speed manual, do you not understand ? Is that the only 301 version i attached the pics? Did I say all 301 displayed had 3-cylinder engine? You claimed you were there too, how come you didn't see 301 Active and Allure with 4-cylinder engines and with all the electrically controlled gadgets in them? It's very amusing how some are comparing Peugeot 301 with Toyota Corolla. One even compared a 2010 production Peugeot 508 with the so called "2014 Toyota Camry". Sometimes, I wonder. Of course, no one has talked about 508 RXH and 508 GT. The other day, smartchoice started a thread on a massive recall on a brand we make so much noise about, but everyone kept quiet, pretended as if they didn't see the thread. https://www.nairaland.com/1484252/toyota-recalls-six-million-vehicles So much for reliability ! If you in interested in comparing, this is how it should be: Peugeot 301 vs Toyota Yaris. Peugeot 408 vs Toyota Corolla. "Farher, forgive them, for they do not know what they are saying," is all I could think of. Ikenna. 3 Likes |

^^^Touche! I don't need any forgiveness man. All I am saying is that I don't want a 3 cylinder engine for N2.95M. That car is I will pick the Yaris for N3.2 without blinking. There is not alluring to me in the 301. I make bold to repeat that it is my choice and I have no regret. It's good to know you agree the 301 is no match for the Corolla and that is the simple reason I chose Corolla when asked to choose! The allure and the active 301 will still not cut it for me. I will rather add 500k to go with the Corolla t N3.99. If everyone is a lion, what then will they feast on?  |

Make una no start arguement onn this thread o! Siena:Others are fine with me but given Chevy Cruze Vs Peugeot 301 Vs Toyota Corolla I will take the chevrolet Cruze if its the top of the line LTZ trim package with all the optional extra installed. |

I do not need any forgiveness for stating my choice, must u force me to like a particular car? 301 vs yaris i will still pick the yaris. 408 vs corolla or civic i will pick civic without blinking. And that 508 is no match for an accord of the same year so yes i will choose the accord. The 508 is a large family car and it doesn't even have a v6 option. Even the 407 that it replaced had a v6 option. Don't even tell me about the peugeot 508 GT because i already know about it. 2.2L diesel engine with only automatic, no manual option. The 508 GT is a great car, but the pricing brings it down for me. Starting at $55,000 and with no navigation? I thought navigation are becoming standard in newer cars. With navigation and other options u are looking at about $60,000 . That is enough money to get u a new mercedez benz e350 or a bmw 528i 1 Like |

Ur even goin 2 far abt the 528i or E350, cos I will pick a beemer 135i over that 508. But it all goes down to the choice cos some jst want something big that goes from point A to B...... But for me it has 2 go from A to B fast. 3 Likes |

Nice one Ikenna. I was there too but wasn't too impressed. I expected a lot more players in the automotive industry as well as other car manufacturers such as BMW, Innoson, Anammco, Honda, Land Rover, MG, Nissan etc. I also expected to see motorbikes and tricycles as its not only cars that you would find in a motor show. No refreshments and nothing entertaining. Very bland. Car-Doctor. |
