  • Read the full review on the Peugeot 208 here: www.carkeys.co...
    Peugeot has given its 208 supermini a facelift for 2015, with some new exterior tweaks, trim line-up additions and engine options.
    The highlights of the new 208 are its sporty GT Line trim, which add cool red highlights to the interior and exterior as well as sports seats, and its new three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo petrol.
    This new turbo gives the 208 added clout against the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, which both offer impressive three-cylinder units.

    I bought a 208 in 2012 and still love it. Great comfort, very luxurious inside for a supermini and good looks. The 1.2Thp was not available at the time and although the 1.2Vti is good enough I would now go for the 1.2Thp for that little oomph especially in the lower revs.

      maaan .. i have a 1.2 vti too ! i complain bout it alot ... once u throw that 5th gear ... the car just dies ... no more power

      +Youcef Twinky Well, I have no problem switching to 5th gear at 80km/h and accelerate to 130.

    • @Carrinthe
      @Carrinthe Před 8 lety

      I agree that for quick overtaking you should keep the 1.2VTi high in the revs, downshifting if necessary. It doesn't have much power below 2000 rpm. It doesn't have a turbo so it has limited torque.

      @thegamergtx Před 8 lety

      +Carrinthe exactly .. still a shitty engine tho ... better upgrade to 1.2 thp ..or 1.6 hdi

      +Youcef Twinky guys i plan to buy 1.2 vti 2015 model, what rpm it has in 5th gear 100-110kmh? i am mostly sitting in a city traffic, but sometimes i do cross country drive, i dont need power, i would like not be annoyed by 3k rpm at 100kmh like in some other smaller cars. also what is your fuel consumption in city?

    Stop comparing everything to the Fiesta. Reviewers on car websites and CZcams are always biased towards the Ford offering, and constantly give out negative comments about every other make. If Ferrari made a small hatchback, they would still say its not as good to drive as a Fiesta. Whats with the obsession? I have driven, and owned nearly 30 cars in 30 years, including two fiestas, on a 99 year plate and 2005 plate. Both were great cars in their day, and better in many ways to the current Fiesta, but im deeply suspicious of the way that the Fiesta is made out to be better than every other small hatch, which is total rubbish. I find it insulting to other manufacturers with the negative comments. If the other brands were so bad, do you really think people would buy them?

    it's a great looker, nice to see they have made the climate separate, seemed a bit of a faff going through the touchscreen to turn up the heating, glovebox is shocking and that cruise control is from the 206cc lol.

    • @dancooper2072
      @dancooper2072 Před 7 lety +1

      anthony hodgson for 82 bhp it's not sluggish, maybe something wrong with one you drove. it easily compares to the 1.4 engines I have driven! .....yes it's slower than 110 obviously but it's in no way, shape or form is it sluggish!
      kinda like saying the Gti is sluggish when you step out of a Ferrari, i know what sluggish feels like and it just isnt!

      TL CB Unfortunately there is no CD-player, although in some country's it is an extra option on the optionlist. But with two USB's, AUX and bluetooth compatibility who wants a CD-player? And if you want one, it will be not practically installed in the glovebox
