Probably didn't help that the Honda was down to 9% when you raced, cars should be fully charged again before racing to be fair to them both.

[markwilliams]

9% battery hot lap what's wrong with you lot

I'm a hatchback lover. I hope the weight comes down eventually for these mini tanks. I especially love the look of the Honda.

What a pointless review - complaining that a city car hasn’t got any ‘get up & go’ after 60mph… it’s not a track car ffs…

[espenjohansen]

so a guy who doesnt know how to set up his seating position complains about cars used for racing when they are not racing cars. what a totally irrelevant test.

[AbsoluteWoo]

Tell me you went into this review having already made your mind up without telling me.

Still prefer my e-208 GT. I didn't buy it for the track, and the interior is premium. I find the acceleration for me is plenty for nipping in and out of roundabouts with confidence.

[AbsoluteWoo]

Reading this comment section, where have some people got the idea from that Hondas are super premium cars? Laughable.

[georgeoliver]

One thing he didn’t mention is that the Honda has double wishbone rear suspension which is wildly over engineered for a city car

[thedrivebygg]

Love the look inside and out of the Honda e

[iDennis]

I think the small electric cars really miss the point. It could be affordable but no, there has to be 20 screens, camera mirros and tech you don't need.

[makeall]

The Peugeot you have was the non-facelift model, the new model has a different gearbox ratio and other changes...

[backupintheday]

Honda are asking a few grand too much at least. The Range is also poor.

[pempiukas]

9% ?! why not one with 100% and another with 0% then?

[jonathonedwards]

They’re great but I don’t think either will be replacing my swift sport anytime soon

[star_man]

It's just my personal opinion and preference but I think the Honda is really ugly, especially the stupidly massive black flap at the front.

[marklambert]

I don’t see the point in this test, as both are town cars not track cars 👎🏼

[davidkramrisch]

Try the corsa e gs line if you prefer a more conventional interior and steering wheel than the quirky e208….

[davidwebster]

Isn't that the advance Honda e they putting up against the 208? Because that has 156bhp?

[mikadavies]

I have to admit, the design of the Honda is really good... But £4, 000 more for half the mileage.... Its a deal breaker! Years ago I had a Renault Kangoo EV with the same 120 mile range and it was hopeless travel 30 miles from home and you get scared.... Not knowing you will be able to return. As 120 miles range is never more than 80 in real life!!
