The best car… for the least money. FACT! Peugeot 208 review.

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!

Peugeot's current line-up is unbelievably epic. Whoever is running their design department deserves a raise.

I used to hate Peugeots but they're just killing it with their new cars

[kadz]

Peugeot has really stepped up their game

Most of Europe: Self isolating.
Mat Watson: “Imma lick this car.”

[yusufermis]

Most cars: we offer flat bottom steering wheel
Ferrari: our Ferrari Enzo has a flat top steering wheel
Peugeot: haha we have both

Matt Watson: *drives car like a maniac*
Also Matt: "Let's check out fuel economy....not

Peugeot really jumped up! That design and interior makes the Fiesta and Polo look like 5 year old cars. Looks futuristic.

208 is the European Car of the Year 2020. Well done Peugeot! 3rd times in 7 years!

Peugeot definitely on a roll at the moment. Exterior looks wicked and the cabin doesn't disappoint. New 3D dash looks amazing. Great review as always Matt!

[ayaanazhar]

The first car that Matt liked from outside and it’s cheap
Like WTF!

I’ve gone from being a Peugeot hater to a Peugeot fan with their new cars.

I’m french you just kill me with your « je t’aime » 😂

I have one of these and completely love it, stunning cars to drive. I have the 100bhp Allure and to be honest, it is a dream to drive, the seats are beyond comfy and the engine pulls in every gear. My longest trip in it was about 100 miles and I got out of it at the end feeling better and more relaxed than when I got in it.

That must scare the Audi A1 to an extent...

[ninooooo]

Doesn’t feel like long ago when Peugeot’s were just cars that old granny’s drove around in. But I’m loving their new cars!

[James-ooyq]

Having owned a 205Gti in the 90s...I love small Pugs.

[brendanfeldwick]

Peugeot are smashing it with their designs lately. My last two cars have been VW's but given what VAG are putting out for 2021 is making me covet these French lookers.

[Konashu]

Lately it seems Peugeot and Kia have been stepping up their game so much that other manifacturers should start worrying.

I see a lot of the 208, 308, Ceed and Proceed in my town. More than VW, Renault or Opel(I live in Germany)
