Introducing the new Peugeot 208! It’s a small hatchback that joins an already packed class, filled with world-renowned alternatives like the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. How does it stack up against the rest of the pack? Well, it certainly looks the part, thanks to those slashing headlights and an incredibly cool interior. It’s even got an EV counterpart, the e-208! But are these updates enough to tempt you away from the other class leaders? Stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

Ivan Petrov ever went to the grocery and had a few bags and put them in the boot or in the back seats and everything started turning around in them and falling?

[@attackonpieck2789]

winzfeld1 I totally know what you mean, especially regarding VWs and their design; not ugly at all, but can be super plain. I would disagree about the polo being totally boring though, I have the 1.2 105 R-Line trim, and while it isn't super car fast, it's nippy and quite fun to drive being turbocharged. There are many better choices though, and the main reason I got it was because exterior and interior wise it tickled my fancy. Doesn't do well on fuel for a 1.2 which still makes no sense to me.

I always loved Peugeot's design and good comfortable driving experience. Yes, they are not the most reliable and they are having electrical issues but it's a car that you are getting connected to and it's well worth it. also i really like the front visibility with big windscreen in all peugeot cars especially in the older ones unlike my aunt's 2012 ford focus, and their seats are Lovely. the cars that my parents had were Peugeot 306 1998, 307 luxury 2004, and now 308 base 2010 in series. my favorite one was the 307, I miss it so much🙁

[@StephenButlerOne]

Peugeots design has been on point for a good few years. The 3008 gt line is a stunner. Also i took a 206 (iirc) not a sporty one, a small engined auto, I was amazed how good their auto box was. I think it is better than the 7 speed DSG in my 18 leon st fr 2l tsi. I really liked it. Worked well with the tiny engine, something most autos fail at.

I don’t get why golf clubs are always used as an example of boot space. I think they should use an old kitchen bin you’re taking to the tip, or 4 bin bags full of clothes destined for the charity shop. Real world examples lol

[@laurentdion9070]

@@Mandrewsmadventures because the average size of a golf bag is more generally agreed on. At least much more than the exemples you named. I hate golf btw.

[@RoadCone411]

Rental a Peugeot 208 recently during a visit to the UK...there is a lot to like in the 208 package, even if the car I had was a lower-level spec with a petrol engine. Styling is great, and it was a comfortable motorway cruiser with one of the slickest shifters I've ever had in car like this. It made driving this car fun and easy. It was composed on A and B roads, the ride quality was quite good I thought, and fuel economy was acceptable, if not decent. I had no passengers, so can't comment on back seat space but it did seem a bit tight back there, and the shape of the door meant getting in and out wouldn't be easy for larger kids or adults. The dashboard was okay, a nice pleasing shape but I got the impression Peugeot went for form over function. No mention of the Quartic steering wheel? I didn't think it was necessary and it actually hindered the view of the gauges, but at least it was solid and chunky. I felt that minor controls and switches took an annoying fraction of a second too long to respond - sounds like a minor criticism but it meant there wasn't a good tactile response and I didn't get used to it despite spending a few days with the car. Also, I didn't like having to go into a menu on the screen to change the temperature or fan setting...surely a couple more dials and switches wouldn't mess up the clean fascia too much, would it?? Overall though, this was a pretty nice car and surely would be worth checking out and comparing to a VW Polo if in the market for this type of vehicle.
