Peugeot 208 Hatchback (2012 - 2019) 1.2 PureTech Active 5d Owner Review

The car drives very unpleasantly: The main issue is the horrible gearbox with imprecise long rubbery throws and unbelievably high clutch biting point that makes the drive very jerky and a constant struggle. I fitted a new clutch hoping that it would solve the problem, but didn't help at all. The engine noise is too much, even higher than 207 that I had before. Generally the sound insulation is too poor and the car feels like a tin box on wheels. The 5 gear gearbox means uneconomical highway mileage, as engine revs high. The infotainment screen dies from time to time and have to unplug the battery to reset it. Last Peugeot for me... absolutely the last.
