PEUGEOT 208 HYBRID review. // What a lovely Peugeot!

[@lionstarpictures8813]

My Peugeot 208 GT Hybrid 136 will hopefully arrive at my dealer next week after a delay of over 10 weeks. I'm really looking forward to it! ❤️🚕 Thank you for the detailed review and your thoughts on the car. 👍🏼

Fantastic to hear! Enjoy your new car mate! Have fun and countless memories from behind the steering wheel!💙🔥

Has it arrived? I'm also waiting for my 208 GT Hybrid 136 and it was delayed as well. It should have arrived in the middle of September, now my car dealer said it's supposed to arrive in 2-3 weeks 🫠

@@kevink9884 I hope it arrives soon to you mate! So you can enjoy its fun to drive chassis. 😎🔥

@@kevink9884 Unfortunately, the car has still not arrived. The contract stated 01.08.2024, Peugeot then informed me of October 16. My dealer told me on Tuesday that the car should finally be on its way. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of next week. 🚘🫤

@@lionstarpictures8813 I wish you the best luck that it will arrive soon! My car dealer said something about a new model of the 208 being built, so maybe we´re getting a new revision of the 208 but I´m not sure about that.

What a lovable small car!

I’m in between this exact trim and version of the Peugeot and the alfa Romeo junior hybrid speciale with the exact same engine

[@upshifter]

Peugeot is interesting, because it's both comfortable and fun to drive despite that bit of softness. Junior is small SUV, which means higher centre of gravity, together with shorter wheelbase. But I do believe in terms of suspension, Alfa Romeo engineers did a great job for driving fun and engagement as they always do. But Junior might have slightly worse fuel economy particularly because of worse drag coefficient than the Peugeot.

Are we going to get a real hot hatch?

[@upshifter]

Unluckily not. I was talking with Peugeot leadership of my country. That was dependent on sales of 508PSE, and as those are not doing that well, it seems no other smaller PEUGEOT Sport models. But damn what a shame, 208 would be hell of a hot hatch.

Good review.Its a nice looking car and in the main drives well. But I feel it sat too low for me and it feels in any driving mode to be a bit stiff. The piano type buttons were a pain too. Didn’t buy it

[@upshifter]

Thank you mate. Personally I always sit as low as it is possible. In case of piano buttons, I didn't mind them, but it is true that if they vere vertically positioned, it would be more comfortable to approach them. 😊
