Details

The return to form of Peugeot continues with this generation of the mid-size 308. The French firm has again found some of the magic that propelled it to the front of keen drivers' shopping lists in past decades. Clean lines and the promise of an engaging and sophisticated driving experience are the highlights. The family resemblance to the rest of Peugeot's rejuvenated range is striking, and with this latest 308 sporting a bold, fuss-free exterior, it's clear that the French firm is keen to make up for the years it spent in the wilderness, be it quality, design or the driving experience. This 308 also feels special thanks to Peugeot's efforts in the quality department. There's a noticeable improvement all-round in the cabin, from the main plastics used to the plush feel of the seats and the quality of the switchgear. In fact, this 308 is a huge step forward in every direction, and this is perfectly demonstrated by the way the car drives. Keen to claw back the ground it lost to key rivals, Peugeot's engineers have done a great job of delivering an engaging yet refined driving experience that fans of Peugeots from the past will enjoy. Factor in an engine range delivering decent performance plus the all-important fuel and tax savings everyone now expects, and this 308 is very much a rounded package in the same vein as Ford's Focus and Vauxhall's Astra. Our verdict on the Peugeot 308: Fans of the brand can breath easy again - Peugeot has delivered yet another high-class, fun to drive and easy on the eye car as it continues its recovery. What's also a pleasant surprise is the build quality, which is streets ahead of its predecessor and good enough to rival some cars from the class above. Factor in a good range of engines and a generous and thoughtful list of equipment, and the 308 is a car that puts Peugeot back on track., Power-assisted Steering (PAS); Safety Belt Pretensioners
