• Used Peugeot 508 review

  10-07-2020 16:29 via autoexpress.co.uk
  
  Verdict
  For a mainstream model, used 508s are surprisingly unusual; we only found around 200 on sale. This is partly because many rivals have a higher profile and the car was priced optimistically when new, but the key reason for the 508’s rarity is a lack of love for large saloons and estates as buyers migrate to SUVs. This, along with the 508’s so-so image, means heavy depreciation, but potentially excellent value when buying used. 
  However, it’s clear that both reliabil

• New Mercedes GLA 220d diesel 2020 review

  10-07-2020 11:38 via autoexpress.co.uk
  
  Verdict
  The latest GLA is a huge improvement over its predecessor. It now looks, drives and feels like a small, premium SUV. It has one of the finest cabins in its class and can now comfortably accommodate a small family. However, you certainly have to pay for it, because the introduction of the second- generation car has also brought with it a significant price hike. Go for a smaller-engined, lower-spec model and this will make the cost more digestible.
