Peugeot 308 CC road test

An image of the Peugeot 308 CC The 308 Coupe Cabriolet has pulled off a trick few other makers of four-seat convertibles can manage by making the 308 CC feel very rigid and flex-free. There’s a definite up-turn in the quality of cabin materials and all of the pieces appear to be connected to each other in a fashion that suggests they will last for a long time. One of the safest convertibles in the world thanks to curtain airbags.The entry price into 308 CC ownership starts at a reasonable £19,995.

The 308 Coupe Cabriolet makes use of the 1.6-litre petrol and turbodiesel engines from the hatch model, as well as the five-door’s 2.0-litre turbodiesel with 140bhp. The 1.6-litre petrol comes in 120-, 143- and 150bhp forms, with the 143bhp version shackled to a sluggish four-speed automatic gearbox that seriously blunts acceleration. The 120bhp 1.6 petrol and 1.6 diesel with 110bhp try hard, but it’s the 150bhp turbocharged petrol that wins out with 0-62mph in 10.5 seconds, a six-speed manual gearbox and enough sparkle through the gears to be in with a shout of feeling sporty-ish.
