Peugeot 208 (Team Review) - Fifth Gear 

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.

the polo has a better image??? what??

When Tiff Tried To be child I died of laughter

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

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.

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

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

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

What's the name of the song at 2:31?

Love this car

yes because this is how people intend on driving this car

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

nothing like when Jeremy, Richard & James get together

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

RIP 5th Gear.

Put GTI after it and I might be interested

Yeah dont forget to buy 5L of oil on the day of purchase. You will need it.... This peugeot loves oil :) (happy owner of 208 for 3 years now)

Despite the Pug being the go to car for many peopke, for those of us who can resist the beguiling good looks of these French cars, there still remains the probability that mechanically and the often didgey electrics associated with Pegeuot, the 206, like its front wheel drive sisters before it, has a good chance of becoming a bush pug. Leave this wee Gallic cross dresser alone and go Asian.

I like to wear jeans a nice looking shirt and so and that's me

This was the end of Peugeot's ugly crap. And the begining of their slightly stylish crap.

first to comenit plz replay

Hot woman, hot car

What a useless review!

Come and on bruv with 208 the drive is superior in city environment. Going over speed bumps with 40mph is a no problem. The steering for city is nice. The center of weight is alright for a hatchback not like a corsa or horrible clio like a sled 🛷. There reviews don’t know anything about city cars. I batter by 208 1.2 vti, potholes, speed humps, curbs. Bread and butter not like the low profile cars corsa, fiesta, German cars, Toyota. The clearance on this car is way superior - an inch higher makes significant difference in the city. Just the engine is burning 3l oil for 1000miles now because I drive it like I stole it for the past year 35k and it is still going amazingly how. Wetbelt is a problem change oil every 2800miles and oil filter, or it will start going also when replacing wetbelt make sure the timing is on point cuz it is low interference engine and a milimeter misalignment it will cause engine damage. So is the 1,6 diesel engine reliable for battering the car and driving it like a semi rail car will it start using oil of it is a chain ? Also Paris and back 4 people no issues, just occasional oil top up but if the engine was bulletproof reliable this would have been the best bang for buck nowadays. And tracking has been an issue for me maybe the mechanic was not proper. 2tracing now new tyre is gone in 3 months or 7k
