The French have a long tradition of hot hatchbacks – many would argue they produced the first and continue to produce the best. The Peugeot 308 GTi 2016 is a proper car in this rich historical line in that it is just as capable of popping to the shops on a Sunday as it is chewing up a B road with passengers hanging on to door handles.
We use the moniker of space and pace quite often at Car Articles because we understand the need and value of having both. That being said, performance and practicality are magnificent when they go hand in hand too. For this reason we highly rate the Peugeot 308 GTi. Watch the video to see what Car Keys UK makes of it.
Nice looking car, but listening to the expert in the video, I think I would be staying away. I am most certainly not a fan of the automated engine sound that comes through the speaker. Feels like a shortcut if you ask me.
