Peugeot for President
Do you like luxury? Peugeot 508 just for you. If you put it in your driveway in front of your house, the neighbors will say that you bought an executive limousine. And when you park it in front of the company, it will surely attract a lot of envious glances. It will include beautiful exterior lines, refined chrome door handles, solar powered 7-LED headlights and lion claw taillights. I advise you to take it as a warning that when you start the engine, you can wake up the beast.
Hidden under the hood of the tested model is a 2-liter turbodiesel with 140 hp. in the hands of a lady, she will behave exactly as the situation requires. It will purr softly when starting off, accelerate smoothly and move silently to its destination. But as soon as its owner presses the gas pedal harder, without any resistance, even in the city center, it will scare away its rivals with a loud roar or overtake many sports cars on the track with lightning speed. With all this, on the road we are satisfied with about 6 liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers. And when setting speed records, it consumes no more than 9 l / 100 km. The maximum speed of this version of the model is 210 km.
Peugeot 508 rides very obediently. Having driven around the city several times, I caught myself thinking that it was very predictable and even boring. But, contrary to appearances, this is not a complaint. Despite its large size, the car is extremely precise, instantly reacts to the slightest movement of the steering wheel and stops without the slightest delay when you need to slow down.
The 508 is also surprisingly good in potholes and bumps. The suspension is not as soft as you might expect. In a word, the XNUMXth will not tire its passengers even after many hours of travel. In addition, in the summer, those who sit in the back will be able to regulate the temperature and the strength of the air flow. The driver's job will be made easier, including an EPS system that levels the track on ice and tight corners or prevents wheel spin during hard acceleration, and a parking assistant with free space measurement.
Please come inside. Having written that the cabin of this car was designed by a Pole, I hope that the ladies from the village on the Vistula will have a special fondness for it. For encouragement, let me tell you a little secret. It's not just about the magic of the native name and talent. I had the opportunity to personally meet Adam Bazydlo. Now, every time I look at the salon of the 508th about its creator, I think to myself: not only is he gifted with exceptional beauty and intelligence, he also knows the feminine taste very well.
The interior of the "XNUMXth" beckons with a beautiful wide dashboard, delicate plastic, slender lines, conveniently located buttons, legible clocks with red hands, many comfortable shelves and surprisingly soft seats.
- I admit that many elements of this car were designed with the fair sex in mind, - says Adam Bazydlo. “The head of seat design was a woman, and the ladies tested them. The headrests adjust to the height of the passenger. The rear console is designed so that you can put your feet under it. This is important for mothers sitting next to the baby in the back. I also have many endless conversations and arguments with my woman about this model. For example, in the discussion of the clipboard. As a representative of the male group, I argued that the things that I take on a trip should be on top, at hand. She, like a woman, insisted that both the ATM and the wallet be hidden. As a result, all compartments in the 508 are locked, and a lady's bag is hidden in the door pockets. – adds Adam Bazydlo.
The owner of this car will never have to worry about ruining her nail polish while looking for the key in her bag or in her pockets. It is enough to have it with you to get into the car and leave. However, I immediately warn you that you need to prepare for a trip to the Peugeot 508. To find the start / stop button that started the car, I had to turn to the manual. Sam, I wouldn't have thought to find it to the left of the steering wheel. It was the same with the handbrake hatch. However, this solution also has its advantages. The thief will not be so smooth.
No, I'm not moving yet. I'm looking at the center console. Her
handling seems very simple. The comfortable multifunctional steering wheel fits perfectly in women's hands. We will find everything you need to control your radio or phone without taking your hands off. Apart from CDs, portable storage devices, MP3s can also work with iPods and iPhones. In addition, the sound quality will impress many music lovers.
I take chairs under a magnifying glass. I think to myself: you can immediately see that behind them is a woman. Comfortable and well thought out. Despite the fact that they have wide backs and they will very carefully hold the back of the filigree daughter and the owner’s husband, who is resistant to diets, on the sides. I know this is bad news for women who don't want to share the wheel with their husband.
The impression of luxury is enhanced by the line-of-sight electronic speed indicator that moves from the instrument panel after the engine is started, the cruise control/speed limiter settings and navigation data displayed immediately before the upcoming maneuver. There is a chilling story associated with this display. When my daughter first got into this car and I started the engine, she screamed, “Mommy is getting out of this car.” My reaction was unambiguous, legs under my knees and screaming at the top of my lungs. I thought I was going to strangle her when it turned out it was this tiny screen. I was stopped by the thought that the “young” people had an SOS button at hand. But seriously, in the event of an accident, thanks to the Peugeot Connect SOS service, you can locate the vehicle and notify the appropriate emergency services. For those curious, I’ll tell you right away that prices for the Peugeot 508 start at 75.800 zlotys.
