Every Peugeot 208 GTi reviewer starts by mentioning the words "205 GTi", "best hot hatch ever". So naturally, I copied them...

"200HP on the front wheels? Sounds like a death trap to me." recommends a golf gti with those same specs lol

@tommunt-davies3927 4 года назад

Not if you know how to handle n drive it

@stevebroughton4787 4 года назад

Don't knock it til you try it...

@Kauppamopo 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching Riles, glad you enjoyed this, a bit different from our usual "Ticking Timebomb" series. For this shoot we used a Canon 5DMkII with some L-series lenses. Magic Lantern OS. Glidetrack. Premiere Pro for editing w/ After Effects (although usually it's FCP). Hope that helps! :)

Fun fact: the 1.6 petrol THP engines (code named 'the prince') are made in a collaboration program with BMW, Peugeot shared some experience on the economy diesel side, and BMW shared experience in performance petrol, the petrol side result of this collaboration is the 1.6 l turbocharged engine which can be found mainly in Peugeot/Citroen and Mini (I think also BMW 120i and 320i have this engine - 177 hp) and has a range of power from 155 hp up to 270 hp (in the Peugeot RCZ R and 308GTI)

@o0L4nc3r0o 7 лет назад

Cool fact, didn't know that yet :)

@10aszg 11 лет назад

i think it looks pretty good, and while it's only 200bhp, it's a torquey one.

@jhewitthunt 5 месяцев назад

I had a G plate 1.9 GTi, and bloody loved it. To this day I've not driven anything that comes close to the fun. I'm trying to convince my lad into getting this 208. The great great grandson of the best hot hatch ever ❤

@o0L4nc3r0o 7 лет назад

Goddamn, the more reviews/videos I see about the 208 GTI, the more I'm considering to sell my Fiat Punto to get me this Peugeot!

@NotBen101 10 лет назад

I want this car in America

@Pentax67 8 лет назад

+NotBen101 its amazing car I can assure ! Driving all the day and remmaped it to 280HP it's stunning ! I also removed back sits to make it even lower but of course to put more lagguages.

@CarThrottle 11 лет назад

Car guys making up. Brings a tear to my eye!

@CarThrottle 11 лет назад

Thanks so much Pala, we're also THINKING BIG! Appreciate the support and stay tuned! :)

@tom.a3378 7 лет назад

I'm sick of fiestas should I get this used instead of an ST used?

@ramenraccoon159 7 лет назад

Tom. A Yeah or try the Clio RS (downside: only automatic) or the Opel Corsa OPC

@CarThrottle 11 лет назад

That's great feedback, TheCompyshop. It's one of the reasons why we've gone back to fuller, longer, more detailed reviews, like this 208 GTi one. At least we know we're back on the right lines :)

@shobin05 11 лет назад

understandable, the -07 pugs are really terrible, but the fact is that their new cars are improving not only with interior quality but reliability as well, whatcar's recent survey says that peugeot is the most reliable brand from europe with the exception of ford, im a huge M3 fan but i still love french cars for their honest and rather special looks that sets itself apart from other cars.

@MoDeG7 11 лет назад

for a second i thought he opend and enter the passenger seat XD great work as always!

@CarThrottle 11 лет назад

Thanks MoDe. Ha, yeah, UK cars, so right-hand drive. Glad to see you're paying attention though ;)

@MashPedal 11 лет назад

Death trap on the front wheels, you do realise you then recommended another front wheel drive car, the VW Golf? I'm not putting the Golf down as it's a very good, desirable, capable car, but why then have a go at the Peugeot, the Golf has plenty more ponies under the bonnet?

@TheCompyshop 11 лет назад

The ticking timebomb videos honestly aren't great. They are way too short and rushed. Actually, I hate them. This review was so much better. Take your time. If I had a say in it, I would stop making the ticking timebomb videos.

@DarrenCassey 11 лет назад

Got a bit of a soft spot for this, looks so much better in the metal

@noise117 11 лет назад

I'm an American and I would buy this, no doubt.

@MrZekToR 8 лет назад

Is that BMW designed THP engine still garbage? When I was looking into hot hatches to buy, that THP engine and its inadequate timing chain tensioner was the source of many engine failures in cars that used this engine. They were struck off my list due to this very engine. Question is, have things changed as regards the tensioner design on this engine?

@stevebroughton4787 4 года назад

All sorted now......had timing issues on my 207 GT. All OK on the 208 GTi.

@daveyboiyeah 6 лет назад

I were most definitely thinking of the 206 GTI but ah well

@shobin05 11 лет назад

yes i think we argued about somethin lmao

@PePe_FIN 11 лет назад

Oh guess they didn't find any good video material of the 205 GTi.

@ahmetkarasuahmetkarasu508 10 лет назад

İ saw a 2011 ford focus rs today , can somebody explain me why does it have 2 mighty unuseful exhausts ?

@suicidallooneypro 10 лет назад

Ahmet karasu Ahmetkarasu and ***** 2011 Focus RS has a 2.5L 5 cylinder turbo engine, the exhaust is build to match the engine and the same engine commonly see 400bhp. It's one of the best modern day fords

@TheCompyshop 11 лет назад

Awesome! Thanks for reading my comment!

@TheAmerican300WM 10 лет назад

I think it looks cool?

@MashPedal 11 лет назад

I wouldn't quote a VW Golf as a 'death trap' the new MK7 is very controllable and safe and only a fool or idiot with a heavy right foot could make it a 'death trap'. Also just because a 1 Series is rear wheel drive doesn't make the car automatically better than a front wheel drive car! Have you seen a Renault Megane 265??

@A_guan 11 лет назад

Where's the "10 reasons why you should buy a lorry instead of a car?"

@hayden123hs4 2 года назад

Lovely car

@sendark001 11 лет назад

whats the tune?

@shobin05 11 лет назад

YOU AGAIN?

@akiskapouros 11 лет назад

Not ALL ppl have the extra cash to get the more proper car though... If i had more money i would have taken something else than my Astra Opc And we own at my family a saxo vts with 318.000 km,problems? zero So there is nothing standar its all about how lucky you are

@noise117 11 лет назад

i think thats true with all cars these days.

@WioPerca 11 лет назад

hell yeah !!!

@Russki46 11 лет назад

How is the steering wheel feedback? With all the new hatches this always feels to distant. I think the philosophy of a hot hatch has gone wrong the last years. Too much gadgets and the car drives "itself" (TC, ESP, ASR, etc...) Regarding the sound it's as generic as every turbo engine. The essence of driving has gone in this segment. (=dullness) If you want a good driving hot hatch you should stay within the 90's or early 2000 range. Just my 2 cents ;-)

@3ddie21 11 лет назад

hmmm this reminds me of Top Gear...

@WioPerca 11 лет назад

i prefer the fiesta ST because is better looking than the Peugeot

@xlaimuxllt 11 лет назад

FRENCH= everything made backwards...

@woodsy555 5 лет назад

a pug thats worth owing lol

@jaspersa4987 10 лет назад

Lol Honda makes the best hot hatches no question... EK9? EP3? EG6? Not saying the Peugeot is bad but Honda is better with hot hatches.

@Leocomander 10 лет назад

Like he said stop dwelling in the past and look into the present and future look at the fierce mini JCW's the fiesta st and now a new addition to compete with the Peugot 208 GTI.

@jaspersa4987 10 лет назад

My EP3 will smoke all of those except for the Mini maybe.

@chrisrobinson5951 10 лет назад

Jas Persa It might well do, but while the mini and Peugeot look smart, the ep3 are driven by complete dicks who think their faster than everyone else! FACT!

@jaspersa4987 10 лет назад

chris robinson I also like to pull ''facts'' out of my ass. I have an EP3 and so do a few other people in my town and they are not assholes or think they are faster, what makes you even say that? I am an active user on the Type R forum and i have never seen anyone brag that his EP3 is soo soo fast. You're problably a jealous idiot. I might aswell say that Minis are driven by Hipsters and Peugeots are driven by people too dumb to buy a french car. Maybe the 206 GTI is a fun car and whatnot but the French got absolutely nothing on the Germans, Japs or even Americans. Focus ST for example.

@MrMrMaran 10 лет назад

206 ftw

@akiskapouros 11 лет назад

Αre you serius? Cause VW pays tones of money on magazine and tv shows for advertisment you think they are unbreakable? They have toooooones of troubles aswell And on the other hand how you can compare the price of the gti to the bmw1 series and finally to that peugeot? You make NO sense

@IOUaUsername 11 лет назад

French cars a built like Chevys. They will break, and the parts are quick, cheap and easy to swap. German cars are built to never break, so for the first 5 years they're the best in reliability. Then things start to break, and because they're not designed to be fixed, the parts are difficult and expensive to replace.

Poooooooowwweeeeeeeerrr

@yoda-1551 11 лет назад

I think he's anti french cars, I don't blame him, they smell funny and they have terrible reliability lol!

@alexplatanakis6556 6 лет назад

Krishan Ladwa peugeot is in the top 10 brands for reliability now

@AR1G3 10 лет назад

For a Peugeot it looks quite okay, Although I think Peugeots are the ugliest cars made in Europe. No matter how good this peugeot is, it will never beat a VW golf GTI, the only original GTI, and the first real hot hatch. Btw, a little mistake by you guys, you showed a 205 Turbo 16 when talking a bout the 205 Gti, which are two different cars.

@rui518 10 лет назад

of course it will not beat the golf gti, but the target is the polo gti... wait for the 308 r...

@Carder2009 10 лет назад

rui518 Is the 308 r to be compared to the VW GTI or the VW Golf R?

@rui518 10 лет назад

Abolished Hat probably the gold R some say the 308 will also have 300hp but it will only be front wheel drive...

@AR1G3 9 лет назад

***** Apart from that with the maserati they really meant Gran Turismo Iniezione. The meaning of the abbreviation GTI has nothing to do with the GTI hatchbacks. VW stamped it on their Golf 1 hot hatch and now it has become a synonym for hot hatchback that is stylish, composed, clever and minimalistic.
