2014 Peugeot 208 GTI Review - Inside Lane

[@e39lwd]

Nice to see a well worded review of the 208 GTi. I'm shopping around for one of these in the Netherlands and it's sad how little proper reviews this car has gotten over the years.

Hoe bevalt hij ondetussen, ben zelf ook aan het rondkijken

[@JELLESLT]

@@owievisiesame voor mij hebje er een gehaald?

[@wiepworst]

@@owievisie +1, volgend jaar mei wil ik ook een exemplaar kopen

[@TheT0nedude]

I just bought an 8 month old 208 GTI Prestige with 2k miles on the clock and I fucking love it. I thought that the fact this car is more subtle when expressing it's boy racer roots is a big plus not a minus.

[@DATGUY795]

Very nice commentary as well. I feel like Brits (assuming that's your nationality) are just naturally great at car reviews.

[@petersothern2909]

we're the best

[@ef7480]

Scottish, English, Irish or Welsh? 4 different countries with 4 different 'cultures' . It is quite a big place...

[@DATGUY795]

Very nice camera work on the beauty shots. Great work once again Inside Lane.

[@MrTerryb1956]

Well I've just purchased one of these in metallic red [ 14 ] plate prestige with only just 17500 on the clock the couple i got it off live in Spain for 6 months of the year , am pleased as punch. Also this is the best review i have seen on You Tube an open and honest opinion and well presented , oh by the way am 63 years young reliving my youth blasting Elton John's entire collection though the speakers happy motoring.

[@SheldonBeldon]

how did it hold up Terry Tuna? I am thinking of getting a GTI prestige, they look like a lot of fun.

[@MrTerryb1956]

@@SheldonBeldon its fantastic still got it fingers crossed l have had no issues at all

[@stevebroughton4787]

A very fair and honest opinion.....I agree about the Festa ST, a bit bland inside. I've owned my 13 plate THP200 for four years...still love it, still goes well and looks fresh. I agree it could be a little louder, but I've put a non-res full stainless on it that sounds great. There are better and faster cars about.....most are in your face, shouty with look at me looks....so they're always going to appeal boy racer types. I've always liked that the Puglet just does enough to say "I'm different but I'm more mature".

[@danielnorthcott53]

You will think I’m crazy but I’m going from an E60 M5 to this little pocket rocket can’t wait!

[@stevebroughton4787]

Enjoy.....

[@danielnorthcott53]

Steve Broughton I am thank you! Kinda regretting getting rid of the M5 but due to travelling long distance for work, I needed a more economical car. The pug reminds me of my Subaru I had just cheaper to run haha

[@conorcranks5617]

Defiantly best hot hatch out there, price quality and safety top notch!

[@insidelane]

Brooklyn Broularre We are getting the new 208 GTI in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

[@conorcranks5617]

Can't wait to see that!

[@andrewhealey60]

My girlfriend and I recently bought one of these and I fucking love it.

[@SheldonBeldon]

How did it hold up Andrew?

[@markmckay4964]

Really good review,nice to see a test drive on roads we can all relate to,love the look of the Pug,would you say its a better 'everyday' hot hatch than the Fiesta ST

[@insidelane]

+Mark Mckay Have you seen our 208 GTI by Peugeot Sport video?

[@markmckay4964]

+Inside Lane just watched it now,another cracking review,i prefer the look of the standard Gti and from what your saying the standard car rides better,iv driven the ST and found the ride a bit harsh,great fun tho.

[@insidelane]

+Mark Mckay Glad you liked it! GTI is a good all-rounder.

[@Reacting2Reactions]

This is by my best GTi, I'd chose this any day over Fiesta ST, Clio RS, Polo GTi, Corsa OPC, DS3 etc

[@jumper936]

Bought one of these yesterday

[@jumper936]

@@curseoftheenthusiast great fun cars mate, not had any problems to this day!

[@onurdokmetas5673]

@@jumper936 Hey man. What year is the one you got? I am thinking about getting a 2014 one too but I see people telling others to buy mid 2015 or newer

[@PeterSothern]

How the car doing ​@onurdokmetas5673

[@western-oud1898]

had this sold it and got the fiesta st3 with the mountune upgrade....although the Pug is a very good car the fiesta? well let's just say I'm happy with what I've got now

[@Ricey92]

You had this actual one or a different one?

[@peterbuckley5467]

I recognised Southbourne from my holiday's there in the past.

[@insidelane]

Good spot!

[@dancooper2072]

what song is at the start. it's doing my head in lol

[@insidelane]

+Dan Cooper It is called "Sail" by Awolnation.

[@nicolasansom2681]

That's Tuckton bridge! Great review - think I'll buy one x

[@misterawesome1234]

how's reliability?

[@insidelane]

It is hard to say as its a brand new car, but Peugeot and Citroen have been getting a lot better over the past few years.

[@alexdb77]

Wich is better on the road. This or the fiesta ST? Better meaning More Fun.

[@insidelane]

The Fiesta ST is more fun to drive. There is more of a playful nature to its chassis setup, whereas the GTI can seem a bit tame with the vast amount of grip it has. We will be testing the 208 GTI 30th Anniversary soon. It will be interesting to see how that does.

[@alexdb77]

Thanks. I enjoy your reviews

[@insidelane]

Dário Barreiro Thanks very much! Stay tuned as we will be one of the first to bring you a video review of the all-new 2015 Mazda 2 next week.

[@insidelane]

+Omnislash Vince We have just tested the new 208 GTI by Peugeot Sport that has all of the mechanical changes brought by the 30th. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWKbgH-Bh5qHntE

[@slyarsenal]

Peugeots are renowned for electrical problems. How is it in this car?

[@fireyonix]

love that the cons are that its not that masculine. thats a plus for me

[@williamsharpe523]

Have one in pearlescent white love it

[@Ubercubertuber]

Good review. I am thinking of buying this. Do I have your blessing ?

[@insidelane]

You do indeed! It really is a cracking little car. A slightly more powerful 30th anniversary GTI will soon be available, we get the keys in May, might be worth waiting for that. Here is our full review of the 208 GTI insidelane.co.uk/review-peugeot-208-gti/

[@Ubercubertuber]

I don't think I can wait for that long. I am too impatient : ) Btw Is there any info on the price of the anniversary version ?

[@insidelane]

Ubercubertuber One with all of the toys should be just shy of £22,000. Only 100 will be coming to the UK.

[@gerryr1893]

Looks like southbourne

Class car, but you can’t leave the Clio RS200 out of the equation

[@woodsy555]

fucking love my gti huge grins

[@metime7]

The accent 🤍

[@Ricey92]

Mate that's my car now 😂 looks nothing like that now tho

[@danielnorthcott53]

Just about to pick one up. There quiet stock have you put an aftermarket exhaust on it does it sound louder?

[@Ricey92]

Yes mate join the Peugeot 208 owners club on Facebook you'll see how this looks now. But yeah got custom exhaust on now

[@danielnorthcott53]

Ricey92 unfortunately I don’t have Facebook. I have a couple of questions. The first one is with your custom exhaust was worth it? Going through a tunnel can you put your window down and hear it? The second one is the stock turbo have any noise or will I need to get a blow off valve and induction kit? Sorry for a long message this is first time getting a Peugeot

[@Ricey92]

@@danielnorthcott53 not a problem with questions. Can definitely hear it even on road with windows up beautiful sound. Sound from turbo is quite mine can sound like I have a blow of valve but I don't as had problems with it. Induction kit will reduce power the car makes but will add abit of noise I have mine In a box not used

[@danielnorthcott53]

Ricey92 ok thanks for the reply! I look forward to getting mine!

[@bokumuyesen]

It's a car that's is bad build and very very slow. Buy a ibiza 1.8 tsi cupra. Believe me, a just bought 208 gti and regret it since
