NEW 208 :MOTORING many drivers with an obscured view of the main dials when they have found the ideal driving position. At least the large centrally mounted display screen is easy to read, even if its functionality is not as simple as many rivals. The now usual Peugeot trims of Access, Active and Allure trims with six airbags for all and ESP on every model except the basic Access. They are joined by a range-topping Feline model with 17-inch alloy wheels, sports seats, half leather upholstery and a panoramic glass sunroof, though we found this pinched rear headroom for adults. If the 208’s cabin is a mixed bag, so it is with the engine line-up. There are five petrol and three diesel engines to choose from, though the pick of the lot is the new 1.2-litre threecylinder petrol. It offers 82bhp for 0-62mph in 12.2 seconds, along with 62.7mpg average economy and 104g/km carbon dioxide emissions. The 1.2 feels peppy and enjoyable to drive, remaining quiet and punchy at lower revs while offering zesty DRIVING SCHOOL OFFER 208 ACCESS + 1.2 VTi 82 5dr Only £208 per month* Rentals include either Free Metallic Paint or a £300 contribution towards the fitment of He-Man Dual Controls and GPs head up display speedometer. *Based on a 24 month (3x23 profile), non maintained contract hire contract with 25,000 miles per annum.
