V60 or 508
Whick car do you recommend? Volvo V60 DRIVe(powershift) or the Peugeot 508 EMG?
I have tried them both, but read so many reviews about the bad 508 EMG! Is it really that bad? Should I rather go for the 2 litre diesel automatic instead of the EMG?
For me comfort is the most important thing. Nice ride, quiet and not too hard on the road. I drive around 30,000 km a year, summer and winter here in Norway.

For comfort, maximum wheels size 16" with 205/55 or 205/60 R16 tyres. Do not got to bigger wheels and lower profile tyres. I've had 4.4 litres / 100km out of a 508 EMG, but I can't say it was nice to drive and I wouldn't want to try it in snow. The Powershift is a much nicer transmission to drive, but needs fresh fluid every 3 years.

I was initially planning to buy a new 508 saloon, but my father is driving a Mazda 6 (version 1 from 2009 - not the facelifted version).

I am thinking of buying a new Citroen Picasso with the 130PS petrol engine and automatic gearbox. Is it a true auto gearbox (torque converter) or similar to the EGS on my previous Picasso?
