An Irishman who speaks French but not English.....😀 The 208 is impressive, stylish, practical and easy to drive. Nice review

such a beautiful car! it’s a road gem! I used to have the 205 gti 1.9 back at the 80’s and it’s the first time I find a Peugeot model as pretty as the 205 was. my only complain is that I expected in the range a model equal to the Hyundai i20n. Peugeot has the knowledge to produce such a car. anyway that doesn’t remove any of its beauty!

Bear in mind the legendary 205gri had a crap interior , assembled by the bored French workers and PSA reliability was the opposite to the Japanese. They also offered a 1.9L gti that was insanely fast. Even VW was mildly impressed (behind closed doors)

Your french is excellent, I wish my english would be as good (I'm French, by the way). Thanks for your very nice review.

Thank you very much!! Merci!

Excellent review. Nobody has picked up the narrow gap between the clutch and the foot rest. Very important point. 👍

Very nice review, nice speech, keep going 👌

My very first car was a 403. 4 spd. manual on the column. I loved that car. Then Peugeot pulled out of the US . Now at 78, I drive a VW GTI MK 7.5 it’s the best small car you can get here 🇺🇸. I would buy that 208 in a split second if it were available. Maybe I should move to Europe ?? Thanks,great job. RickGTI….. 🇺🇸🌴

I think the Golf is about a small a car as you would want to overcome the wind effects of US highway semi trucks. The 208 is really a city car. Even the basic Mini looks funny on US Highways. Love to someone driving in a Fiat Panda 4x4 in the snowbelt just to show AWD does not need mean might wins. Even the current Honda Civic coupe is gone and the Civic is about a big as the original Accord. I recall Peugeot Canada offering a hot sedan at one point before leaving. The new Renault Sport R5 would be fun in NYC though.

If you don't mind me asking, would this be a good car to learn to drive in?

That foot issue where there is not must space for big feet/shoes to rest at the side of the pedal is the same on my ds3 crossback, so it must be a PSA group thing since they are all basically by the same people....same with the apple carplay and android auto not taking up the full screen which makes it look naff...though saying that i am someone who likes the sat nav as it is, i have seen no need at all to use android auto satnav or apple car play

The useless glovebox is a feature of all RHD French cars (not LHD). So they just don't bother moving the fuse box to the other side when the car is made for RHD. For some cars, it was just cheaper as they sold so little of them but the Germans (and even Italians) made the change (with the Italians then not making any effort to make the footwell pedals correct for RHD). So as long as the PSA and Renault don't care about RHD (British Isles) then the glovebox is just that- room for a pair of stylish French driving gloves

And for accessing the fuses 🥸

Which color is this?

Better than swift?

Not sure why Peugeot puts black accents on the wheel arches on these cars, it ruins the aesthetic!

The prononciation of Peugeot is perjoe.

"My English isn't very good (despite it being my native tongue as an Irishman) but let me speak French..."

I pronounce this brand as pe-zho. Not pyuzho.

Pew show?

Golfing "pitch??". Also we're all accepting that the incar system is crap in 2021 where we have fast smartphones that do even more. It could at least be lag-free in the 21st century. Without Emergency braking and some other "optional" features then NCAP rating gets cut so to say PSA is being generous.. Thank NCAP

Incisors or vampire fangs.

Seems about time that PSA dropped offering a diesel for the smallest cars. Who does massive distances in a small car like this frequently. Sure the Russians liked them but well er Russia preferred cars that could cope with crap icy roads in -30 temps. Not something the French worry to much about.

Depends on the market. Where I am, used diesels are significantly less expensive than the 100hp petrol version. Higher yearly tax than the petrol but that diff is eaten up pretty quickly at 0,4l/10km vs 0,6l/10km if diesel and petrol cost the same. And as our host explains, this three cylinder engine sounds a bit like a diesel..

Pronounce Peugeot properly 🤣🤣🤣😆😆

@@vecteurtech1019 LMAO... This guy copied/paste this comment on every 208 review he could found I swear xD I just bought one so I'm watching these reviews for fun, and I saw this guy commenting this everytime!!! Imagine being so frustrated with life that you have nothing more to do than this?!

One of the most crap reviews. All negative remarks aren't explained! As frustrating as watching paint dry.
