My latest discovery about the 508 is that whoever designed the interior clearly doesn’t drink coffee. Which is odd, because I thought the French liked coffee.
The picture says it all. If, as I suspect many fleet drivers do, you buy coffee ‘to go’ on the way to meetings, then you’d better know the route off by heart because placing a drink in the cupholder will obscure almost all of the screen. Yes, there are turn instructions on the dash, but it’s annoying not being able to glance at a large colour map too.
