Peugeot 308 S HDi 90 5dr road test
When Peugeot decided that the popular small family car the 307 had come to the end of its natural lifespan you can imagine that someone high up in the company basically said “same again boys” or words to that effect, as the result, the Peugeot 308, looks and feels very much like its predecessor and more like a mid-life revision than an entirely new model. The Peugeot 308 is in one of the toughest automotive segments out there, a real battle ground where sales volumes are high and customer choice is equally as high – all major car makers have at least one model battling for sales here. How does the Peugeot 308 compare to the other heavyweights in the segment?

The Peugeot 308 comes with plenty of options when deciding which powerplant you want choose. The vast majority of 308 models you see on British roads will be fitted with one of the diesel engines available and there is good reason for this. We drove the 1.6 Hdi 90 BHP unit and it was quiet, refined and a pleasure to drive. Being a small-ish diesel unit, it is never going to impress with 0-60 stats but in real life driving conditions there was plenty of mid-range torque and the car cruised comfortably on the motorway. There are more powerful petrol units available and they no doubt give spirited performance, as an all round ownership prospect however we see no reason why you wouldn’t choose one of the diesel options available.
