Peugeot definitely on a roll at the moment. Exterior looks wicked and the cabin doesn't disappoint. New 3D dash looks amazing. Great review as always Matt!
I have one of these and completely love it, stunning cars to drive. I have the 100bhp Allure and to be honest, it is a dream to drive, the seats are beyond comfy and the engine pulls in every gear. My longest trip in it was about 100 miles and I got out of it at the end feeling better and more relaxed than when I got in it.
Peugeot are smashing it with their designs lately. My last two cars have been VW's but given what VAG are putting out for 2021 is making me covet these French lookers.
Test drive them though.... I wanted to buy one last year but couldn’t deal with the 2008 or 3008s handling and suspension. The steering wheel is awful, the suspension way too hard (2008) or way too soft (3008) and the overall handling while turning felt off. Those were small suvs though. Maybe the 208 is better
I have a 2008 it’s a 2013 model, so pre-facelift, it’s the feline model which is top spec and really nice. Only issue I have with the newer pugs like these is the satnav, phone tends to be a bit better
@@thesilentgametestr yeah good thing though is that it has full Android and iOS support so satnav inside doesnt matter that much. Just put on Google Maps or Wayke.
@@zerotofifty No it didn`t (only more conservative design which was a pitty considering the 1st generation).

Depends, They had a bad serie with the 207 / 307 / 407. However the 406 was remarkable and the 306 was very reliable. The 605 and 405 were just outstanding i got 1 1998 605 everything is stock and it's got 300,000 KM, it starts like if it was a new car every morning.
well very quickly last year it also became evident that healthy people (meaning most people) isdolating is INSANE. thanks to the CCP and incompetent leaders the west has run itself into the ground.
Bamo G absolutely not! The 205 GTI was a brilliant car from a time when Peugeot was unbelievably good at making cars. Unfortunately they then went through a time of making terrible cars like the 1007 and 407.
But has much worse space in the back compared to the polo and also there are no hooks in the boot which is stupid. It takes 2 more cubic centimetres of cheap plastic....
Ivan Petrov ever went to the grocery and had a few bags and put them in the boot or in the back seats and everything started turning around in them and falling? Or that falling sound every time you break? No hook in the boot is quite stupid on a new 2020 car. And space overall is quite small in this car, in the boot it’s acceptable, but the back passenger won’t be too happy with that low ceiling and small door.
I could test drive it with 130hp and automatic. It literally drives one class above the whole competition. Absolutely comfortable yet with a direct steering. And the tech is mindblowing
winzfeld1 I totally know what you mean, especially regarding VWs and their design; not ugly at all, but can be super plain. I would disagree about the polo being totally boring though, I have the 1.2 105 R-Line trim, and while it isn't super car fast, it's nippy and quite fun to drive being turbocharged. There are many better choices though, and the main reason I got it was because exterior and interior wise it tickled my fancy. Doesn't do well on fuel for a 1.2 which still makes no sense to me.
This is making me want to buy Peugeots again! Having had various German cars over the years which all have been rubbish and expensive to own, the current mk5 Golf 1.9TDi DSG Match has cost more to own in six years than my 13 year old Volvo V70 D5! But I do miss my Peugeots. The Golf just suffers from DSG faults, rust and now the immobiliser issues luckily the spare key still works................but for how long! I'm really liking the new 508 which seems to be oozing the 405's DNA.
@@aosorea nah. Defenitly not wort it. A few weeks ago i saw the a1 at my local dealer. A damn 116hp petrol for 34k?! WTF Youll get a year old A5 for that. No thanks. I love Audi btw, but they need to get their shit together.

I actually have just purchased a 2015 208 and for the money the amount of tech you get is amazing. And the 1.2 is alot nippier than a previous 1.2 fiesta i owned
@@diegoyuiop Actually many Americans mostly in California want Peugeot's in the market but i think Peugeot isn't still sure if it should join the us market
Just received my brand new 2008 GT Line. Utterly awesome car with shockingly good quality. The new 208 is also top notch, totally agree with rear camera though
I’m just looking forward to the all new 308. I wish my current one had ambient lighting and couple of these features that are in the current facelift 308
Been driving one for a month, yellow one, stunning car,. Fuel economy is decent 65 to the gallon and I wasn't driving economically at all, 8 gear automatic gearbox smooth.
Peugeots design has been on point for a good few years. The 3008 gt line is a stunner. Also i took a 206 (iirc) not a sporty one, a small engined auto, I was amazed how good their auto box was. I think it is better than the 7 speed DSG in my 18 leon st fr 2l tsi. I really liked it. Worked well with the tiny engine, something most autos fail at.
Doing some great car reviews again Mat, well done. Love the look of this car but in Australia Peugeot’s don’t tend to hold up to our roads and conditions so they have a very poor following. The result of this is a bad reputation and about the same retained value as a Mc Happy Meal.
I really love every car review this man does! Regarding this Peugeot, it's really awesome - the only thing am not sure I like is the steering wheel shape and position.
I used to hate Peugeot's, I saw them as cars for people who gave up and don't care about cars... I was recently given a dusty beaten up 308 hdi and dear god is it a sleeper, the turbo lag is real but when it kicks in you can outrun pretty much anything, it's a shame it's like driving a speed boat around our British roads. Still I love this car and will be sad to get rid. Anyway this car in review it looks hot and I suppose that kills the joys of a sleeper which is a shame but I am glad Peugeot have finally decided to make good cars on purpose again.
@@narutofire332 Golf is not a super mini, it's a mid-sized hatchback in the C -Segment. As you can see in the video de Vw Polo is the competitor of the 208.
@@MG-ce3dx Obviously he means it's the best overall package available right now, bar the Clio there isn't a B-segment that can touch it in terms of interior built quality and technology without an insane price-tag. It makes Vw trio seem instantly outdated, with the A1 and Mini seemingly looking more overpriced then ever. Fact is allot of people tend to agree since it also happens to be nominated for Car of the year alongside it's rival the Clio. Which themselves are the first B-segment cars to be nominated after more then 10 years. Just try stick to the facts instead of needlessly spouting foul language but no facts or arguments. If you can't take it beeing a great car for majority of people shopping in this class. SIMPLY don't watch it, don't buy it, and don't comment 🤣
I don’t get why golf clubs are always used as an example of boot space. I think they should use an old kitchen bin you’re taking to the tip, or 4 bin bags full of clothes destined for the charity shop. Real world examples lol
@@Mandrewsmadventures because the average size of a golf bag is more generally agreed on. At least much more than the exemples you named. I hate golf btw.
Peugeot and Renault have the best hatchbacks of all time. They had some problems with electronics, but if you drive a french hatchback once, you drive french forever. Every hatchback rides like a rally car. Comfort, price and handling are amazing. I will gladly accept an electrical problem 10 years from now, as opposed to a VW 2.0 tsi that breaks a piston after 20000 km. My Laguna Coupe is 3 times better than an Audi A5. More comfort, better fuel economy, MUCH better price, better handling and sexy as hell. Gearbox is great, the turbo is responding faster than in any german engine. Audi is bland and predictable, with no character in the engine. Generic german coupe. All eyes are on me when I drive my car. I'm not one of the crowd.
@@aosorea First of all, Renault isn't even a brand you can compare to Audi. Different price range. But the cars that were aimed directly against each other, the A5 and the Laguna COUPE, are comparable. Audi has good engines??? The whole VW group has been utter crap for 15 years. 2.0 tsi is a problem waiting to happen, and the diesels they were so proud of, are also crap. Last good engines were 1.8 turbo and 1.9 tdi. Believe me, i've tried them. Audi a5 is more technologically advanced than my laguna?? Be sure to tell me when they have an advanced handling system as good as 4 control. Search on youtube, laguna 3 vs porsche test. A fwd family sedan was quicker than a boxster. You think I paid the same money for my Laguna as for an A5 because I need to be a hipster? I said the laguna has a better price, but when I bought it used, it was about the same. And yes, the ride quality is a hundred times better. Maybe not in germany, every car is the same on roads that look like an airplane runway. In my country, in an A5, you would piss a kidnney out. They are bland and predictable, an audi from 1998 looks and drives the same as an audi 2015, which is sad. German cars have become sad predictable money pits. Every 5 years, they change something like the front grill, and they sell the same car to people like you. If you have an audi a4 2008, would you cpend the money to buy an audi a4 from 2019? But they built a steering wheel that splits, so that makes my argument about it being the same car irrelevant.
Peugeot's current line-up is unbelievably epic. Whoever is running their design department deserves a raise.
The designer has left Peugeot .

Andy S Yes! I ordered the GT Line in yellow last week (Sadly my budget could only stretch to petrol) Cannot wait! Have fun in the electric version
Great choice Andy 👍
This car is indeed, AWESOME
Thx for the heart🙄😁
Congrats to the editor of this video. The lion and the "uhh burn" intercuts 05:57 as well as the piano note switches 01:48 were awesome. Please add more of that - it fits so well with Mat's funky character.
🤣🤣👏👏 you missed the Mario Kart sound at 12:26-28 🤣🤣🤣 that was funny
The Peugeot designs the last years are amazing, futuristic, they remind me concept cars.
February 25 2019 Matt did a video introducing this car
February 25 2020 Matt does a review of it
That's consistency for you

In the last 3 years Peugeot really grew on me. I swear the older models are tanks
True, I remember the old 607, 406 looked like absolute boss cars when I saw them 😂
@@rubenbraekman4515 it still looks like a boss car. I've just driven one yesterday.
@@zerotofifty the 607 is one of my most favorite cars ever
They are French junk and proven to be very unreliable and unrefined.
@@gravemind6536 sure 😂😂
I love the feeling when you can get something cooler for a cheaper price. It is a win-win!
I love my 208 , I'm disabled and reversing assistance and parking is brilliant. I call her my Betty boop. Got mine June this year. Steering brilliant . I'm 4ft 10 , and can pull the seat adjust it for my short legs. Brilliant video
Thanks
These are cool. I remember seeing this at its launch and thought it would be a great little car. Best looking small car on the market at the moment. I’m seeing a lot more Peugeot’s on the road recently. Their cars look great.
I have ordered this car I cannot wait to drive it😍😍 roll on next week for my new Peugeot!!!
Peugeot is my favorite brand right now, I’ll go ahead and buy it!
Imagine Peugeot being your favourite car brand lol
EuGeniius dude I mean my favorite “normal brand”, car that I can afford
@@novaf4946 every brand is a "normal brand" just some brands have only expensive cars lol.
But I must admit that Peugeot have been upping their game.
I'll definitely see a Peugeot 208 everywhere
Try and run a Peugeot outside warranty for a few years or more and then try and tell yourself they are your favourite....!
@@jdmguy44 Well having only bought used Peugeots older than 7yrs and owned 5 to date I'd say they are waay better than most make them out to be. I currently own a 16yr old 307 everything works runs like a dream and interior age better than any Toyota
" and it has a colour topcoat!"
*Car detailers left the chat*
All cars don't have clearcoat
@@DuBstep115 you've always owned a pre-1990s car then I presume.
@@DuBstep115 they do have
@@2stepsaway820
Brilliant comment
I'm a professional sprayer
Let him know that only commercials are only sprayed this way in solid.
Clear coat is an optional extra
I actually have just purchased a 2015 208 and for the money the amount of tech you get is amazing. And the 1.2 is alot nippier than a previous 1.2 fiesta i owned
Peugeot better consider bringing this model to the US, looks unbelievable good and makes other entries look like yesterday
coming in 2020
@@alexdouvalopoulos8575 2020?
@@diegoyuiop 2021 sorry but nos they are talking about end of 2021 or even not at All
@@alexdouvalopoulos8575 maybe they're not good for American taste? Or it could just be that after the fusion with FCA they are planning different
@@diegoyuiop Actually many Americans mostly in California want Peugeot's in the market but i think Peugeot isn't still sure if it should join the us market
Why am I watching this, this isn't even sold here in the Philippines lmao
In the states, this does way better than alot of the hatches on the market
@@alansmilealot what do you mean Peugeot is not sold in the states
FPSPhilippines why do watch videos about Supercars? You’re never buying one but you enjoy the videos. That about sums it up?
Flat what? We don’t get Peugeot’s here in the US at all. Are you referring to something else?
@@harrymurray-jones219 wait is it?
Matt: "best car for the least money!"
Scotty Kilmer: **clears throat** "Let me make a few counter arguments..."
That old hag is sometimes biased and just to picky to the point he is over reacting
Yeah, according to him, if you're not driving a Honda or a Toyota, you're pretty much screwed...
😂😂😂😂
@Dean M Yes, Kilmer is an idiot trough and trough.
Doug Demuro: Ahhehehhehe...
The new peogeot definitely look best in class.
And that come from someone with a Renault in his pfp, a true hero
I prefer the look of the Seat Ibiza tbh.
Just received my brand new 2008 GT Line. Utterly awesome car with shockingly good quality. The new 208 is also top notch, totally agree with rear camera though
He mixes technical info with humour , I Love this guy LOL
The peugeot 208 is the best car 2020.. and
no other comes around him !
That thing is very hot

Mat or the car, the question is.
Josip Ćurić mat
@@josipcuric8767 man I am not gay....the car obviously
Its a HOThatch
the back looks terrible. I' sick of it but I live in France so it's okay
I’m just looking forward to the all new 308. I wish my current one had ambient lighting and couple of these features that are in the current facelift 308
Been driving one for a month, yellow one, stunning car,. Fuel economy is decent 65 to the gallon and I wasn't driving economically at all, 8 gear automatic gearbox smooth.
I'm 37, only now interested in learning to drive and can't stop watching these reviews. Can't wait to get my license 😁
Pick up mine next week! Cannot wait. An absolutely beautiful car.
Peugeots design has been on point for a good few years. The 3008 gt line is a stunner.
Also i took a 206 (iirc) not a sporty one, a small engined auto, I was amazed how good their auto box was.
I think it is better than the 7 speed DSG in my 18 leon st fr 2l tsi. I really liked it. Worked well with the tiny engine, something most autos fail at.
Peugeot should’ve made these switches with piano sounds lol
Also, aircon shouldn’t be called a feature anymore
Toyota make the best AC hands down. Its to die for its nearly as good as stepping into a freezer.
@@gravemind6536 🤔😲
The new clio doesn't come with AC on the basic model lol
Gravemind it’s not the best in my dad’s corolla, but it hasn’t failed him once though
Yohan Sharp that’s just sad. I guess that’s what you get for getting a french car
I wish Peugeot was sold in the States. I’ve always loved their designs
Doing some great car reviews again Mat, well done. Love the look of this car but in Australia Peugeot’s don’t tend to hold up to our roads and conditions so they have a very poor following. The result of this is a bad reputation and about the same retained value as a Mc Happy Meal.
these new peugeots actually look good, i especially like the black strip across the boot like you got on a 205
Finally you are back reviewing normal cars!
Finally a Peugeot 208 review
Just waiting for the GTI !!
The next 208 Gti will be... electric.
Cool Fact : This car had just won 2020 Car Of The Year
I really love every car review this man does!
Regarding this Peugeot, it's really awesome - the only thing am not sure I like is the steering wheel shape and position.
Massaging seats? I’m sold
Thug Life you took the profile pic from one of his videos 😂😂😂😂
Abay Amangali That’s true amigo:p
I never thought I’d say it but Peugeot are making good cars again. We can thank Top Gear for this I think.
This review was.... Awesome ✔
It would be helpful if your reviews could include info on service schedules & costs; also comments on general reliability of each previous model.
I am very tempted with this, currently drive a 308 and had the old 208 GT Line but this one looks fabulous😍
12:26 love the Mario Kart reference 😂
2:23 Mat is using the DAS system.
This new car is Gorgeous!
Looking to buy Peugeot for my next car. 20 years ago I had a Peugeot 406. It was the best car for comfort, seriously cloud nine level!
I used to hate Peugeot's, I saw them as cars for people who gave up and don't care about cars... I was recently given a dusty beaten up 308 hdi and dear god is it a sleeper, the turbo lag is real but when it kicks in you can outrun pretty much anything, it's a shame it's like driving a speed boat around our British roads. Still I love this car and will be sad to get rid. Anyway this car in review it looks hot and I suppose that kills the joys of a sleeper which is a shame but I am glad Peugeot have finally decided to make good cars on purpose again.
2:46 😂😂😂😂😂 vu que je parle français ça m'as fait rire avec le petit accent anglais "hum, je t'aime"
would love to see a group test between these 3 cars:
peugeot 208
citroën c3
renault clio
@TechedThrower66 1 dimensional car for people who can't think for themselves, aka badge snob
Pretty nice in this red!!!
I can’t lie Peugeot have step up their design now I love it
It’s so pleasing to see Peugeot back to their very best after launching some truly terrible cars over the last 15 years or so.
THE BEST SUPERMINI EVER !😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
Don't talk crap.
Respect the Golf.... Literally defined hot hatches.
@@narutofire332 A looooong time ago
@@narutofire332 Golf is not a super mini, it's a mid-sized hatchback in the C -Segment.
As you can see in the video de Vw Polo is the competitor of the 208.
@@MG-ce3dx Obviously he means it's the best overall package available right now, bar the Clio there isn't a B-segment that can touch it in terms of interior built quality and technology without an insane price-tag. It makes Vw trio seem instantly outdated, with the A1 and Mini seemingly looking more overpriced then ever.
Fact is allot of people tend to agree since it also happens to be nominated for Car of the year alongside it's rival the Clio. Which themselves are the first B-segment cars to be nominated after more then 10 years.
Just try stick to the facts instead of needlessly spouting foul language but no facts or arguments. If you can't take it beeing a great car for majority of people shopping in this class. SIMPLY don't watch it, don't buy it, and don't comment 🤣
10:00 Mat doing his best impression of Paddy McGuinness😂
No he isn't you weirdo.
My favourite car within my budget that I could probably afford . I love it . The interior is amazing and loving the black and red colour combination!
First time I've seen this guy... I knew at 0:26 I was going to watch every episode of his. Keep up the great work!
This is the type of car review I NEEDED. Sayin' it simply and straight. Thank you!!!!
Finally you reviewed it!
"Parking sensor thinks I'm too close " Right cause you weren't lol
That car genuinely does look good!
i learnt in one of these it was a manual and i can tell u it was a fantastic car to learn in really smooth stearing
Just bought an 18 plate 208 allure and the quality is incredible
"You can't fit golf clubs"
As if 208 owners played golf...
Pawel X I do!
@@robertstarkey8952 I feel sorry for you!
Speak for yourself bud
I don’t get why golf clubs are always used as an example of boot space.
I think they should use an old kitchen bin you’re taking to the tip, or 4 bin bags full of clothes destined for the charity shop. Real world examples lol
@@Mandrewsmadventures because the average size of a golf bag is more generally agreed on. At least much more than the exemples you named. I hate golf btw.
Peugeot and Renault have the best hatchbacks of all time. They had some problems with electronics, but if you drive a french hatchback once, you drive french forever. Every hatchback rides like a rally car. Comfort, price and handling are amazing. I will gladly accept an electrical problem 10 years from now, as opposed to a VW 2.0 tsi that breaks a piston after 20000 km.
My Laguna Coupe is 3 times better than an Audi A5. More comfort, better fuel economy, MUCH better price, better handling and sexy as hell. Gearbox is great, the turbo is responding faster than in any german engine. Audi is bland and predictable, with no character in the engine. Generic german coupe. All eyes are on me when I drive my car. I'm not one of the crowd.
@@aosorea First of all, Renault isn't even a brand you can compare to Audi. Different price range. But the cars that were aimed directly against each other, the A5 and the Laguna COUPE, are comparable.
Audi has good engines??? The whole VW group has been utter crap for 15 years. 2.0 tsi is a problem waiting to happen, and the diesels they were so proud of, are also crap. Last good engines were 1.8 turbo and 1.9 tdi. Believe me, i've tried them.
Audi a5 is more technologically advanced than my laguna?? Be sure to tell me when they have an advanced handling system as good as 4 control. Search on youtube, laguna 3 vs porsche test. A fwd family sedan was quicker than a boxster.
You think I paid the same money for my Laguna as for an A5 because I need to be a hipster? I said the laguna has a better price, but when I bought it used, it was about the same.
And yes, the ride quality is a hundred times better. Maybe not in germany, every car is the same on roads that look like an airplane runway. In my country, in an A5, you would piss a kidnney out.
They are bland and predictable, an audi from 1998 looks and drives the same as an audi 2015, which is sad.
German cars have become sad predictable money pits. Every 5 years, they change something like the front grill, and they sell the same car to people like you.
If you have an audi a4 2008, would you cpend the money to buy an audi a4 from 2019? But they built a steering wheel that splits, so that makes my argument about it being the same car irrelevant.
@@aosorea
Also, renault engines have worse fuel economy? All I can say is wow.
Oh Mat! You are absolutely hilarious, thanks for making car reviews so pleasant :)
It won Car Of The Year 2020 prize ^^
They're doing well in recent reliability surveys, too.
