508 II
Bittersweet... to quote a footballer. The car captivated me with its looks, both inside and out. However, it has a few annoying elements that appeared during its use. From what I've read in comments, I've driven my 508 the furthest at 49,800 kilometers among those who have posted, so I have something to say about it... 1. Lack of a windshield washer fluid level sensor - a failure, shouldn't happen in this segment and price range. 2. The seats are small, short, and uncomfortable on longer drives.
Pros:
Striking exterior design, Elegant interior aesthetics
Cons:
Missing windshield washer fluid level sensor, Small, short, and uncomfortable seats for long journeys

Peugeot 508 II: Disappointing Interior Space
Despite initial admiration for this car, it's primarily small and claustrophobic inside. Poor visibility and a very enclosed driver's space. I drive at least 60,000 km annually, mostly long distances of 500-700 km. Despite apparent comfort, I feel noticeably tired (I currently have a car from a different brand, and it's heavenly better). The steering wheel is small. Frameless windows guarantee freezing in winter when not in a garage, making opening them difficult.
Pros:
Initial admiration
Cons:
Small and claustrophobic interior, Poor visibility, Enclosed driver's space, Noticeable fatigue on long drives, Small steering wheel, Frameless windows freeze in winter

508 II: A Premium Price Tag for Minimal Space
I've had it recently as a company car, but I'm surprised that a car costing so much money is so flimsy. Dramatically little space for the driver, its biggest drawback is the height, making it very difficult to get in, as you feel like you're sitting on the asphalt. The low seats cause leg pain after about 2 hours of driving. The wagon is nice, but not worth its (astronomical) price. Previously, I had a Superb, Passat, and Picasso (not counting SUVs). In terms of daily...
Pros:
Attractive wagon design
Cons:
Very limited interior space for the driver, Low seating position makes entry/exit difficult, Leg discomfort on longer drives due to seat height, High price for the perceived value

508 II
I bought the car at the end of 2019 after visiting and test driving at several dealerships of other brands, including Alfa Romeo and BMW. Previously, I drove the first generation 508 with a 160HP diesel, and even earlier an Alfa 159, also with a 150HP diesel. The new (at the time) 508 completely charmed me: its looks, the drive (it handles much better than the previous 508), and its equipment level. I chose the GT version in red with a black glass roof. After five years, I still love looking at this car. The equipment of the GT version...
Pros:
Stunning design, Improved handling, High equipment level, Timeless appeal
Cons:
Red paint with black roof might not be for everyone

508 II: A Fond Farewell
Just sold my 508 after a year of use... and I feel like I'm back in high school breaking up with my girlfriend... :) The car is truly beautiful and unique; with its many details, it wins you over and makes you feel special in this vehicle... however, there's a certain set of details that makes you strangely long for... a regular Passat ;) Overall, it's not bad, the car is likable; we went to Austria on skis with (almost) grown-up kids = 4 people + roof box..
Pros:
Beautiful and unique design, Many well-thought-out details, Makes the driver feel special
Cons:
Some details make you long for simpler cars, Slightly less practical than expected for some
