Peugeot 308 SW 2009
The 308 SW may look like an ordinary family estate, but it has a trick up its sleeve that makes it one of a kind - an extra row of seats in the back.It is a great family car, and features such as the separate opening tailgate glass and huge boot capacity make it a realistic alternative to a conventional people carrier. With a well finished cabin and smooth ride, it's a comfortable and safe choice.
Cabin access is made easier by the wide door openings, while the tall body means generous headroom for all and a higher seating position gives rear passengers better visibility.
The SW is longer and taller than the 308 hatchback it's based on but handles just as well. It's fairly agile with decent body control and even in tight bends feels safe and reassuring. The steering is assisted and it's a great car for eating up motorway miles with minimal fuss. The 1.6 HDi models use energy saver tyres that cut rolling resistance by 20 per cent to aid economy, however grip remains unaffected.
All versions of the 308 SW come with six airbags and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and emergency brake assist as standard. A wi-fi sensor system that allows the seatbelt warning function to remain in operation on the removable second row seats is a significant safety innovation.
