I think this is a fair review tbh - the media system isn't perfect, and having the most used touch buttons on the left hand size isn't ideal. That said the good bits far outweigh the negatives. It's great to drive, the interior and cockpit area is nice, and the small steering wheel I find to be great fun and pretty cool. Really happy with my choice to purchase.

Touch screen comment is perfect, and totally agree.

I've just bought one, and before I test drove it two things worried me: the steering wheel/instrument relationship and the touch-screen. I am tall and could comfortably see the instruments, as could my much shorter wife, after appropriate adjustments. As for the "media centre". I've never owned a car with one, prior to the MY18 308 my most recent car was a 2009 model. In fact I've only ever driven one other car (well two, but I didn't use the screen in one of them) and that was a Mazda 3 which has a rotary knob to move through the different menus. I'm not all that flash with smartphones and honestly had no issues at all with the menus. Although I haven't used satnav yet, I can't figure out why the presenter above complained so much about adjusting the aircon when in navigation mode. I have my music source displayed, press the fan shotcut, it took me to aircon, I adjust a couple of things, go back to music. Takes seconds, and I'm no great shakes with computer software and the like. One also wonders how the tester managed to never stop at lights and find time to adjust the a/c. As for fuel economy, I filled in the city, drove around a bit, drove 50kms home and it was showing 6.6l/100km. I've never had close to that, even from my previous 1.4l WS Fiesta. I've had to laugh at other tests on this car where economy was bagged "I couldn't get below 8s but I did spend a lot of time in Sport mode in the windy hills" or "we didn't get out of the city much". Of slightly more concern are the fiddly steering wheel controls for stereo/phone, and the hidden cruise control stalk which is counterintuitive, with too many buttons which have to be operated by feel. That, and the piddly interior storage options, more limited even than the late Fiesta.

Great well balanced review. The rise of touch screens in cars is sadly becoming more common. A real safety issue when on the move.

I own one of these and it's a great car. The touchscreen is nowhere near as hard to use as he makes out. In fact, it's quite easy to use once you're used to it. The diving position may not suit all but it's still excellent. The cars build quality is excellent. Something he failed to mention. Poor review. Not surprised, the Australian market is obsessed with cheap Japanese and Korea cars.

Bro you've got automatic climate control, why the hell would you manually change fan speed and temp? The quickest way to cool the car down is to leave it on auto and lower the temp, just a couple of clicks and you're good

Did you try to use commands on steering wheel for media, maybe would be easy, just saying...

2:12 you can also just, you know close the vents if its bothering you so much? Its very nitpicking in my opinion

Damn what's with this guy's obsession with cup holders?

The pick of the litter was the previous access in manual trim which was 22K AUD. A francais bargain with all the good bits, including the brilliant 3 pot pulling 230nm with a manual tranny was the best and the climate control were actual buttons! Lower spec = better!!!

3 years later every car has no buttons on the dashboard, peugeot beat them all considering cost cutting haha 🤣

mercedes G wagon review please !

I partially agree about taouch screen... it is better to have separate aircon controls! as well as it is annoying to scroll up and down trough radio station list... memory buttons are way better! so I hate them in any version, touch or "MMI"! but on the other hand, there is section marked with "Lo" in aircon sub menu... if it functions like it implys, your "problem" should be solved with two simple touches... ;)! and this originally (and predominantly) is "left hand drive" car... so most used controls originally are closer to the driver.... what I don't agree about is i-Cokpit remark... I'm not tall (1.72m) and I had NO problem with st.wheel obstructing the dials, without having it lowered "down to my lap"! this was kind of problem in 2008 where st.wheel did cover lower part of instrument table (but not dials itself)! so this remark is sensless... in 308 and 3008 steering wheel is not in a way of dials view! even if you are not tall.... if you set correct driving position that is (wrist on the top of st.wheel and fully pressed clutch predal, when your hands and leg are extended)! I find this "perpetuating" remark, like that stupid flower on first version of new Beetle dashboard... somebody stuck it there when it was presented and then everybody else had it there in their test for years... :))

If the AC is blowing on your face you can simply adjust the direction of the nozzle 🤷‍♂️

Well I own a 308 too. It DOES get me 5.4l/100km. Mix driving. Make sure you put 95 not 91 that'll help.

Jesus! The The A/C control is minimised AT THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY 😂😂 You don’t need to get back in to the menu, its right there on the right of the screen......there’s a sub-menu for ALL of the controls on the top of the screen so you don’t have to go poking around, how did you not see this? I can see it from here looking at it 😳😳 oh and there’s two cup holders in the rear armrest!

Would you buy this car or the volvo v40?

This reviews feels like this was reviewers first Peugeout /Citroen since 2013 onwards...especially the stuff about Aircon and media system .Its the same since 2013 for all Citroens and Peugeouts...or its just an aussie thing.

8.8l/100km? Seems way too much for a small engine.

I am afraid you are not informing well. There are short cuts to the climate control... Study the infotainment correctly before giving a bad comment. Thanks

Bad review

If wasn't the stupid idea of the gages over the steering wheel... and the stupid idea to control everything trough the media system.... it's sill a car that I would never take, unfortunately now Opel goes at the same "NO french" league :(

The fuel consumption is clownishly high for such a "light" car with a tiny engine. It has the consumption of a mid-size sedan with much more room, power and comfort. Shitbox.
