Yeah the 508 is not spacious enough inside to sell in the States, similarly as the Mondeo/Contour was. It's also not quite laid back enough in my opinion, but it demands constant attention.
Had one as a rental (couple years back). Do recommend. I actually liked the Pacific more, but know that it's a trap for stupid problems later in it's life....I should buy a Sienna...
It's a French car, it probably just gave up.Also, don’t modern cars with rain sensors etc close windows automatically when they detect rain?
Sort of. My gti and alltrack have them but they won’t roll up the windows, there’s even settings in the ecu that I can see that pertain to exactly this issue. I can’t get it to work and it’s deeply frustrating.Question : how’s the smell? I have never had this before and am curious whether every beverage you ever spilled /sweat/fart you’ve let out is still there in the fabric.
I’d imagine cloth seats and old cars would be worse here, but does that sort of thing ever really disappear?

From the door button/lever, yes. I also enabled the remote window control as well. Because I imagine with stupid US regs, it's verboten here and is disabled, but not removed from the cars infotainment options.Does one-touch open and close work?
Just asking because my Skoda always lost the one-touch and remote opening if the battery had been disconnected.
You recalibrated the windows by opening and closing them all the way, one window at a time, and keeping the button pressed in either direction for an additional five seconds or so.

From what I read, the concern is fingers getting pinched on the roll up. Protect the lowest common denominator and all....How/why is this verboten?
How/why is this verboten?
Just a glitch in the Matrix.I just saw two Volvo S90’s one after the other at the traffic lights. I bet the driver of the second Volvo thought to themselves “wow, someone else bought the sedan too!” ?
I'm guessing because VW doesn't want to be sued by someone that had their head in the window when someone else closed it remotely. Something that in the rest of the world would be written off as "your own dumbass fault".
As far as I know, USDM customers can't have pivoting headlights and some of the modern "scrolling" LED indicators are verboten because the first segment that lights up is too small. Taillights can't be on a moving body part (which makes my car illegal) and so on and so forth. Not saying that Europe doesn't have its own set of regulations that manufacturers have to follow.
