Peugeot 208 R5

[Niall]

I test drove a standard 208 a little while back (1.6 HDi I believe?) and it really wasn't particularly nice to drive...way too light on the steering, it felt like it wasn't connected! Rolled around everywhere and was stupidly slow. I'm going to test the GTi though at some point

I can imagine the light steering and that but im supprised at the slowness as the 1.6HDi is a good engine and theyer really light for a modern car (lighter than a 6)

They made two 1.6E-HDi's though.... an 92bhp non turbo and a 112bhp turbo model, I can imagine the non turbo to not be the nippiest.

Also although we all hate the bonnet on it... it would be very easy to smooth off




BTW 208 GTI is now available
