Peugeot 208 (Team Review) - Fifth Gear

The team take the (once) new Peugeot 208 for a team test.

I don't love the 208 (not much wrong with it per se, I just think there are better options), but I certainly wouldn't call it dull to look at. I think its looks are the best thing about it, especially in that trim level and colour. This car really marks the starting point of Peugeot's transformation as a company. Whether you love or hate their cars, you've got to admit that they've really learned how to design in recent years. IMO the new 508 is one of the best looking cars in its class. They've gone from looking great "for a Peugeot" to looking great, full stop.

All car journalists keep on complaining about the steering wheel blocking the instrument cluster in new Peugeots, but I've sat in several and it just doesn't. It's very nice and I'm not a Peugeot fan at all. Utter bullsh*t this complaint.

Why journalists are so obsessed with VW and soft touch plastic? Lol

The serie 8 of peugeot is well bornt. The best serie since the serie 5, 6 (the 7 was not really good)

Tiff pulling the handbrake from the backseat made me lol

[joshuaminke]

the GTI by Peugeot sport is much better, feels like a completely different car, even compared to the regular GTI

[radityaindera]

Stupid review really. I won't give too much of a crap about its handling since it is only a normal fucking Peugeot not the GTI ones, as long as the handling are convincing and predictable (which it is) that's more than enough. So they like the styling, its cheap, very economical, quality interior, big legroom and headroom, and has predictable handling. That's literally ticks every box of what a normal hatch should do and yet they only gave it a fucking 6??? There just isn't enough reason why would they slash 4 points from it.

£10, 000 that's cheap for a car like that

[byRyanStevens]

yes because this is how people intend on driving this car

I had a Peugeot and I think you have to be stationary to completely turn off the traction control

[PradeepthaObeysekara]

nothing like when Jeremy, Richard & James get together

[JaffaJannu]

A car that comes with a (range of) engine(s)?
Has the world gone mad???

[chrisdooley]

Put GTI after it and I might be interested

[BorgDrohn]

That's actually the version before the facelift of the 208.
