Peugeot 208 Hatchback (2012 - 2019) Black Edition 1.2 PureTech 82 3d Owner Review

I am very happy with this car. At first I was slightly hesitant, as I have not been a fan of newer Peugeot's (2004 upward), but this car has surprised me.. First i'll start with performance. For a 1.2, the engine pulls nicely and allows you to get out of tight spots. On the motorway it could do with abit more power but its enough to get you moving. When it comes to the corners, its steering is quick and precise. Combine this with the grip and you can have quite abit of fun in the corners. The brakes are also pretty good for a smaller engined car and can stop you rather quickly, if needed. Comfort, the ride is rather good. It is more comfortable at higher speeds than at lower speeds, but its not bad at the lower town speeds. The interior is also a very nice place to be and has quite a few gadgets. The car is also rather practical. It has a decent sized boot and with the seats down, you can fit a fair amount in the back. I will add the bad bits. The driving position is not great as the steering wheel has to be positioned lower, for you to see the instrument cluster. Visibility also isn't brilliant, the rear window seems pointless in some cases. And the throttle is not very responsive. Other than that there isn't much else wrong with this car. I highly recommend buying this, if you are after a small, fun, yet practical hatchback. An all round good car.
