As an owner I can say this review pointed out a number of things that most reviews miss. Great work.

It’s exactly what we need in the states. Quality, decent size, and fun to drive. This country is full of mall crawlers. With the cost of gas ever increasing, a 3 cylinder would be just fine. Thanks, RickGTI…..🇺🇸🌴

Great review JJ - I’ve got one on order in the Elixir Red you drove and it looks fabulous. Mines the electric version due to it being a company car and cheaper for me to lease than a petrol! (And no ownership issues as fully maintained). I thought it was a great car in the test drive, comfortable, quick and just the right amount of tech. Both myself and the wife had no problems with the tiny steering wheel in fact I loved it.

The one and only Peugeot I've ever owned was a 1995 Peugeot 406 - it was, at the time, a great looking car, and lovely to drive. I enjoyed my very brief ownership, until . . . one day at work, just nipping out at lunchtime, jumped in, and to start the car you had to punch in a code in the keypad immobilizer. Unfortunately, the keypad wouldn't work and so the car wouldn't start - cue a phone call to the dealer and the car was taken away on a low-loader! Fast forward a few months, and I'd just returned from a driving holiday in France and Belgium. The very next day after I'd arrived back home, guess what - the keypad immobilizer failed again! Yet another phone call to the dealer and the low-loader returned! A few weeks later, I got rid! 😡

I do like the look of this Peugeot and particularly the looks of it's bigger brother the 508, which I'm a big fan of. As you said though, the reliability aspect of owning a Peugeot puts me off immediately, shame really! BJJ looked like he was having a ruddy good time 🤣🤣🤣

I got this same car the other day, i absolutely love it. 👌

You glanced over it but after owning this car for several months now the wireless charger has been so nice to have, you only need to plug it in to phone when using sat nah so when your doing your usual journeys just putting your phone down and gaining some extra charge is so handy I've gone to work leaving home with 65% battery thinking I'm going to be running low but then coming home with over 80% battery it can be quite surprising just half hour to 45 mins of driving going from feeling to battery's a bit low to oh battery's quite full

All I will say is, a friend of mine had a 208 and the touch screen doesn't work particularly well if your hands are prone to getting sweaty/clammy. Bit grim but I think its a valuable bit of info.

Aw - seeing my baby love was an unexpected bonus ❤️

Just brought a 2020 model of this, but with the auto box. So far I agree with the review, but yet to get fully comfortable with the new screens, coming as I have from a late 2012 308 HDi manual.

I dont know where you got your information from but the previous 208 sits 0n top of some reliability ratings

[ParanormalSaints]

Don’t know if you have tested the new e208 GT, I love it, great car, didn’t like the shape of the old one but if you haven’t tested the new one out let me know and you can make a video with mine, it’s got a lot of pull on it, and you get a load more NMOT, pretty quick, I only picked it up last week, the interior is at better now with the green stitching on the seats, there nothing like the interior of the car your driving, my screen as not stopped working or drop out it’s been fine so far

[DJGamesHD]

This is a really nice car I do prefer the one before this one the first generation, especially that 1.4hdi engine. I like how peugeot do things differently, many new cars these days are mostly the same. Great video jj some good shots of the car

[Hali]

little tip - sit backseat JJ on the other side! hehe

[AndyPanai-hx]

The previous 208 shape incarnation look much more modern and sporty. This new shape looks more like a classic Rover 200.😮

[jonm]

A bit slow watching this but nice video!
How do you think the interior quality compares to the new Audi A1 for example? And is it above the Seat Ibiza/Renault Clio

[MotorTorq_ZA]

But this 208 is still cool. However i slightly prefer the look of the original 208 and the new corsa

[SkyHighAerialDronePhotography]

The EV ie E 208 is Great car sadly let down by the number of cars that are going faulty with On board charger faults and the rear Wiring loom issues which renders the car undriveble, i worry about the reliability

[MotorTorq_ZA]

I prefer the look of its cousin the Vauxhall Corsa. It’s just a bit cooler in my opinion

[Marinos]

Is it the 1.2 puretech? Don't buy
