Mark. WOW! PCG have cracked it! Stunning! Taking the battle to the Golf. Design, quality and that French chic. As You rightly say there is still a need for a ''hatchback''. So many families would be far better to go 'hatchback' than SUV! Peugeot and indeed Renault have come on leaps and bounds. Imagine a 308 Gti! Brilliant real world review. Thank You. Let's up this is a success.
I cant understand that people have so hard time with the steering wheel. Ofourse, if you are used with a bigger steering wheel it take time to adjust, but ofcourse anyone can drive with that steering wheel. Once you get hang of it, its superior.
Personally, I like it!
Fully agree on the hot hatch discussion at the end, I had a MK1 Golf GTI in the 1990s when I was in my 20s that I wish I still had today, once we're finished with the school runs etc I'd love the idea of downsizing and having another GTI. PSA group always had their small hot hatches that people loved, it'd be a shame to see them vanish.
100%. It's going to take a lot convincing for brands to do them but Ford, VW and Peugeot are probably some of the only hopes.
Outstanding video as per usual Mark. It’s great seeing a fantastic looking hatch. Really hope the hatch and saloon segment will live on for quite some time yet.
A very handsome car. Hey VW…..this is how you do it.
Oozes class. The pic of the estate was particularly striking. Golf and Focus watch out.
Thanks for sharing… nice review
Lovely colour. The grey one too. Nice car too all round. A GTi version (a bit lower) would look very nice I'm thinking.
I'm thinking about buying one of those in 1-2 years. It will either be this one or a 2020 challenger. The only thing kind of stopping me buying the Peugeot is that the 1.2 petrol engine is kind of weak. If a GTI model comes out in 1-2 years from now i will 100% get one asap.
Very nice! Just configured a SW petrol version in black and from the pics I'm very impressed. I'm due to change from my T-ROC in January 2023
Would look great in SW and black with some nice wheels.
Peugeot certainly sorted out the looks of their fleet of cars. Nice colour too!
They've always made beautiful cars, but this latest batch (208, 2008, 3008, 308) is indeed otherworldly.
Great review and a lovely car but pricey in the UK, I think it’s more than the sector leader the Golf.
Great review as always and love the look of that car and the new Astra that's coming. But why do car companies always give you guys the top spec cars, when they are the least bought. I already know the answer is aspirations.
But I think car reviews should be done on the bottom spec cars to show the public what will actually be bought instead. May be a bit boring you might say, fair enough. But it might improve the bottom spec cars when they are shown under the spot light of here's a list of options you dont actually get for your hard earned 31K.
It's what I would do or even follow up in another video with the bottom spec.
Anyway keep up the good work.
hi Paul - you're right about the lesser specs and to be fair, Peugeot have a lot of 'Allure' models on fleet too, this GT spec just took my personal fancy. I'll take an Allure for the longer test!
@@NobbyOnCars sure send it down to me, I'll test the be jaysus out of it for ya 😜
Anyone know how to turn the annoying beeping off when car locks??
Looking forward to the estate version
The seat Leon steering is very underwhelming, maybe direct but no feedback, infact I'd say peugeot cars have more feedback.
Hi Nobby, another great review mate, keep it up. You mentioned the PSE version was being considered....did you hear this from PSA employee? Ever since the launch ive been interested in this car however the Boss of Peugeot ruled it out at the time as reported by car journos.... A PSE version is the only thing that will get me out of my 308 GTI and into the new one
Employee yes but they were not confirming either, more acknowledging.... here's hoping!
what does the stereo system sound like?
Nice car 👌
New PEUGEOT 308 1.2 Hybrid 136 e-DSC6 added to range (non plugin)
Mental money...diesel in Scotland(where batteries come to die) starts at £31k OTR, that's a flat 1/2hr from Glasgow, or £2k shy of a 2yr old BMW 730D M-Sport... will lose £30k in 10yrs, £60 every week for 10yrs...if it lasts that long...I'm oot!(my 308HDi cost me £140 at a Wilson's auction).
Can you tell me if because of the 3-cylinder engine, there is any vibration at idle?
None
I have just ordered a new astra GS Line better than, the 308 the same but looks much better !
Don't forget that Peugeot bought Opel and they put their people as chief designer and ceo, 86%of parts in new Astra is shared with Pug, so basically you are buying a new Peugeot just from Russelsheim. Same thing is with Alfa where the new Ceo is Peugeot last vicepresident.
Great review and I thought I had found a suitable replacement for my diesel estate, looks good and lots of features. However this was before I had a test drive and the steering wheel is an outright deal-breaker, I just can't understand how it got approved for anybody 6ft and over. Yes, you can make it work if you lower the seat down and the steering wheel itself, but you then have your hands getting caught if you are turning. In all my years of driving, I've never had to sacrifice driving position just to be able to see the instrument panel. A classic case of appearance over functionality.
You’re not the first tall person to say it’s just not workable… maybe if there was a different style of wheel available at no extra cost…?
@@NobbyOnCars A potential solution, but they would have to see it majorly effecting sales to do so. There aren't many estate options about these days, so I just hope Opel Ireland get a move on and at least update their site on when the Astra SW will arrive.
@@dronesireland1615 saw it recently in Malaga so I’m guessing second half of the year. Can ask for you actually later today!
As Jack would say, put 'em under pressure 😉
Which would you chose - the 308 or the Astra ?
308 for looks, Astra does feel more planted.
Sophies choice
This or the Focus St line?
Focus still has the edge for driving but the tech and interior in this is better.
@@NobbyOnCars Yea If this was out when I bought my Focus it would have been 50/50
I like the look of it. What I don't like is the auto only option and the overly light steering. I drove our work new van today which is a Citroen Berlingo and uses the same type of steering, admittedly the light steering is a bonus on a van but having driven some of the other PSA group's cars it's the one aspect of them I don't like ie the steering being too light, that and despite their being auto only I'd heard mixed reviews of the auto gearbox ie they're very indecisive and the manual gearbox which I know isn't an option is quite notchy so maybe the auto isn't a bad thing. How far did you get out of it before the battery ran out of juice and what mpg did you get out out of it with a dead battery?
How can you compare a van to a car, completely different chassis. Strange comment. Plus I've never driven a 21st century car with great feedback, maybe my alfa romeo
@@dancooper2072 very easily did it not ever occur to you that in addition to sharing much if the same mechanical parts that maybe they might use a similar chassis?
@@stevencampbell1150 I can without a shadow of a doubt say that peugeot cars do not use the same chassis as their vans. There vans are built by an entirely different company with peugeot/citron engines. Amazing you think the berlingo shares the same chassis as the 308 😀
@@dancooper2072 maybe not the same chassis but alot of the same parts like steering rack and engines etc
The Berlingo/Partner and Citroen C4 Picasso actually share the same platforms, am certain of that with a compatibility of 65% for non=styling parts. Anybody who has worked on these cars know what stuff they are made up of. There is also some level of compatibility for components with the 308 of maybe 30%.
7 litres per 100km isnt great is it? Other than that, nice car.
Looks a great car, the NCAP rating would worry me 75% in occupant protection in 2022 in a car that costs this much is disappointing
The NCAP shown up too be flawed after the way they judged the dacia jogger
@@mickdaly6537 The judge all cars the same, you can skimp many things but safety isn't one of them
@@ThePetrolhead94 ammm no if check it out they ncap just took figures from the sandero and never fully tested the jogger just gave it 1 star,so the tests are flawed
@@mickdaly6537 Not in the case of the 308
I had the old 308 Alure so many problems, rattling back axel, wrong timing belt fitted from factory, latency on the brakes, headlight beam set too low.
48000 euros for a car… a Peugeot. Come on people
I can't drive Peugeots. Even though many of the models have enough front seat travel, at 6 ft 4 I have the front seat all the way down and steering wheel all the way up. I have very long legs. Their cockpit system is ridiculous. The instruments are obscured to me. That's UNSAFE. If you are going to do that sort of system, you need it at a visible height at all settings that travels up and down with the wheel, and even smaller wheel size at the top half. They don't have to go full yoke, although that would be better again for visibility. Toyota's coming yoke is awesome, much better than Tesla's, and Peugeot should think about competing with that.
USB-C will charge your device
so astra then, umm ok
A win for PSA either way...
Its Stellantis now!
There's no usb-c in the back 🤦♂️
under the rear air vents? 2..
There are 2 under rear vents
P
All very nice until you try buying one hopeless
I just don’t like the fact they didn’t put automatic boot open 🫠
