wanna hear something funny ?
i went to test drive the mazda 6 (2.5) yesterday....told the SA that im also considering 508.... he said the following
1) Peugeot parts are expensive and have to wait damn long to get it
2) Peugeot not reliable , quoting his friend 207 that is only 1 yr old and spend 2-3 months in the factory due to waiting for parts from france
in my mind...i was thinking...hmn....my other friends driving 308 and 408 until now also no issues....perhaps naza service is improving?
Ofcourse Mazda SA will say that. He's pushing Mazda not Peugeot. He didn't tell you Mazda parts are not going to be cheap.
I've had my 408t for 13months,not a single problem. Infact the 408 engine is the most reliable in the 1.6t class. 8 mods were carried out on this engine addressing reliability issues. I've got the list,incase you want to know!
In all fairness, Naza is improving it service and support. Ofcourse there's room for further improvement.
Between the Madza 2.5L and the 508GT,I'll take the 508GT without second thoughts. Once you've tasted turbo torque,no turning back. Torque from turbo diesel is mindblowing!
