The visibility out the back window was a Renault Megane and not 308. There was a Renault Elf sticker on the window 🤔

I'm sorry it I seriously don't understand why there are so many bad points in this video. After living with one for a year it's practical, packed with tech, is comfortable, and handles very well with the 2.0l diesel bluetech automatic and is great for town and motorway driving. I think you need to own one to appreciate it

Totally ignored that beautiful panoramic roof 😍

This 308 is a success for Peugeot, they really stepped up their game in this one !

Peugeot is really doing a great job with her new models, I love the 208 and this 308 is really great, I love it.

At 3:43 it's not the 308, actually it's a Renault (you can see the Renault Elf sticker on the rear window), and the door windows are different from the Peugeot!

It's amazing how handsome this car is and how hideous it's predecessor was.

Misses some important stuff: - The seats in the upper versions are brilliant in leather - The panoramic roof - The steering wheel doesn't affect your dials view capability if you are over 5 foot 0/ not a dwarf - It has a standard rearview camera - The manual versions are ok - It is a bargain for money (less 5000€ than a Vw Golf). The car just had a midlife lift. Maybe a second unbiased check will make wonders.

the french really know design.

At 3:45... You show the rear visibilty of a Megane probably, not the 308. Look at the sticker... "Renault/ELF". Now Peugeot puts these stickers on their rear windows? Biased review.

Leaving the Eu does not mean that britain isnt in europe

If it would be a german car; he would say "Oh! it's a fantastic car, so great"

OMG! In 3:44 , you talk about the back visibility, showing a Renault Megane's picture!!!. You could read "Renault Elf" writed in the glass

I love the quality build material, looks so clean and simple

I've got a 2.0 Allure and I cannot fault it in any way. It's quick, handles well, is well equipped, comfortable and I love the small steering wheel and the whole cockpit in general. I previously owned a VW Golf Bluemotion (awful car, lots of faults, terrible service in VW dealers), before that a Passat 2.0 Highline, and before that BMW118 and I much prefer 308 and you get a lot more for your money. VW's are overpriced and boring.

Why did you show a Renault and not a Peugeot for rear visibility ?

When Is the 7 series review coming, I have been waiting so patiently 😔

I've had one of these, a GT line with the 1.2 turbo engine for about four & a half months now & probably the only thing I found remotely annoying was the size of the glove box, but I got over that quickly. Yes, having knobs for the heating etc might have been easier, but I've got used to that so not a problem & I also find the touch screen easy to use, so not unintuitive! I actually had a BMW before this, albeit an older model that became expensive to keep repairing as well as run & tax etc so decided on a complete change & having driven most of the usual suspects I decided on this & very happy with it so far!!

This review is extremely biased, it looks as it was made by a german! I've been the owner of a 308 for more than 5 years. The car is close to perfect, by far the best I ever owned and one of the best that I've driven. Seats are spot on, so is steering (best wheel in the market, once you get used to it the rest seem like truck steering wheels), perfect chassis, biggest trunk space in the segment when it was introduced in the market, amazing design (both interior and exterior), better performance compared than other cars with similar engines (due to lower weight, I guess), very good quality of materials, excellent LED lighting and reliability which has been superb up to this day. The price was much cheaper than the equivalent Golf, btw a friend of mine bought the VW and had some issues and I couldn't notice a thing in which it'd be better (apart from the tech and navigator which is awful in the 308). Gear changing is not bad once you get used to it but could be improved, I've tried faster gear knobs. A bit of wind noise in the mirrors as in every other car in this segment and... that's about it, no more faults. I've travelled with 3 additional passengers and nobody complained about the space, most of them fell asleep due to a very confortable ride and seats, many people has praised my car over the years and some members of my family even offered to buy it. Probably the most underrated car in the market as of now and I'm really willing to see how much Peugeot can improve for the next gen. As mentioned in another comment, you probably need to own it to really appreciate it.

Who the hell flicks plastic in a car anyway lol

why you showed the back of the megane instead of the 308 , can you explain that ?

I love mine, so comfortable a looks great. The only problem is as he said I get a lot of wind noise .

Great video! Finally recieving mine tomorrow, cant wait😄

Mat, if you think that the Golf has a better quality interior, why don't you tap between the Golf's infotainment display and aircon? The same thing will happen,you will hurt your finger. My point is, Golf has the same quality as this Pug....

BEST compact car Bye Bye VW Golf

I bought one a week ago, an older one. It pulls like a train and I love it. Nowhere can I find a button for the rear window demister for when the frost arrives!!

Matt, we are waiting for review of 308 2022

I really like these, an underrated car IMO.

The best hatchback.

Top car! Shame Mat just hates French cars!

What a design ! The Peugeot 308 is a statement car.

Still a cracking relaxing and comfy car even in 2020. Love my 2015 model.

It’s really nice and fantastic car. good work French 👌

Matt... Britain is leaving the EU, not Europe. Huge difference. A five year old understands this.

Thanks for the video! Gave a lot of info in nutshell. *Like* :)

You're so brutal with the car, it hurts

Narrator, you fail this time. Your review of this car is unimpressive. Peugeot 308 is the best car in its range. It's unbeatable, period.

Good looking interior tbh

Bought by VW and Ford, how much did you get?

love the reviews, but please normalize your audio levels (it get inaudible at times when you turn your head)

bought a 2015 308 yesterday 1.2 Turbo active and i love it much better than golf / polo and all their dsg issues and jerks expensive to maintain but peogeots interior is classy, clean & unique 6 speed torque converter made in japan by asini its just perfect and the 4.4l/100km is awesome

Very helpful. Thank you

I have tried P308 1.6 HDI and I can say, it is great comfortable car, no problem with dashborard (I am 180cm tall) and engine diesel 1.6 HDI is really great, much better than VW 1.6 TDI which is noisy .. ! :-)

i drive one myselfe, the only thing i find annoying is the reaction of airflow when windows opened. The eardrums don't like it. Last of it for a 3 to 4 ppl solution, you hit gold. And if ya can't but just can test one do it :) rly fine craftmanship

Great review. I have this car for the foreseeable future as a courtesy car whilst mine is getting repaired. It's a little different to my basic-spec Fiat 500! haha

beautiful car

Good review just one thin, around 3,40 min when talking about rear visibility you showed a Renault Megane view ( you see Renault Elf sticker)

This car handles great, maybe helped by small steering wheel, always feels nimble for quite a big car. Passenger room in the back is fine and seats are comfortable. Never feel trapped.

That really does look like today's weather!

any plans to review alfa romeos? that giulia's looking fiiiiiiine :3

can you guys do a comparison between the 3 hatchbacks from the VW group VW golf, seat leon and skoda octavia if you want to make it interesting you can compare the GTD ,FR and VRS

The thing about the rear leg room is, if you can swivel your legs from side to side (which he does) and not touch the backrest then it ain't too bad in all fairness 🤷‍♂️ get more space than on a Ryanair flight

Dear Matt, you do realise ..the view towards the rear that was included in this video belongs to another car!!!!

Please review also the new 308 2021.

Am getting mine in two weeks looking forward to it 😎😎😎

MANIAC

Ive driven 2016 exact model as this. And Im kinda JDM/German guy... And I think this thing looks and drives solid. Build quality is amazing! I never tought that french cars can achieve this level of quality in a middle class segment of hatchbacks. It is very pleasent to drive and it is dynamic(likes fast driving). I just think that automatic isn't quite the fastest when it comes to shifts but would certainly pick auto over manual. Gotta stay focused and save up for Seat Leon FR!

one big suggestion is plz talk more about the car numbers,0 to 60's bhp,torque etc

I have a 308 1.6 diesel and I am soooo happy with it.

3:43 + the window is Renault elf ++ the Peugeot has a sunroof at the beginning but there we see no light in it!

come on man do the 208 ! cant wait for it !

I love this car I have driven this exact model and I have to disagree with a lot of your review it's very nippy very precise driving loads of room front and back (for it's class size ) does near 60 mpg for me the manual gear box is NOT notchy driving position tho' slightly offset is not bad at all , it's easy to park in any space has a rear view camera to aid parking , it infotainment/on screen controls although not THE best they are pretty good within the class of cars it competes with , and finally it's fun to drive it really is my last 10 cars have been 2 Q3s - 2 Q7s - 2 Q5 an A5 an A6 a Bmw 5 series and a Skoda Kodiak ...apart from the Skoda Kodiak the little 308 has been my favourite "little car " hands down . as for the Kodiak , that has been a revelation too would definately have another Kodiak over any of the Audi offerings currently available .

Matt can you review the 308 GTI?

It would be much appreciated if you could explain what went on in 03:43 overall I found this review to be biased, but this is subjective i guess. Now that part with the rear view of what appears to be a Renault came as a shock, it would be nice if you could explain what happened, otherwise people will think you are misrepresenting the car, and it puts in doubt even your ethics.

BELIEVE ME GREAT CAR

I drove this car during my summer job. It was the 308 1.6L 120HP BlueHDi Allure spec. As you said the engine has a lot of punch, but a fair bit of turbo lag. I personally loved the ride of the 308 however I felt like the steering wheel wasn't connected to the front wheels and the small steering wheel bugs me. I also dislike that the climate controls are controlled from the touch screen infotainment systems, I would've preferred knobs to turn. In summary, the infotainment system is sluggish. Another problem I found is that the manual gear change is dull, It just feels cheap compared to the Astra or Focus.

The new Mazda 3 hatchback review please??

Nice location. .I love it

You showed a Renault for the rear visibility!

Hdi is the best diesel engine you could possibly have in any family car.

Please review the Seat leon FR

It's one of those cars that I really like but I would have never got one for myself

Pedals and gearshifter are loose as always in peugeot. But it is very soft feeling to drive and they are reliable

308 gti review please?

I have a 2016 1.6 bluehdi 120. 210 000 miles on the clock and still drives as smoothly as first day 😅

It always rains during the filming :)

I have this car, but the 2.0bluehdi auto and I love it, its a great car to drive and cheap to run

are you gonna do the mercedes a class???

That rear view video you added into the review isn't of the 308, it appears to be from the new Megane!!

where abouts in england does carwow record there video reviews???

Please check again your comments on this video: for example the visibility is ok, there is no noise from outside and the quality of the cabin is quite good.

How is this the 308 2018 model when it was out in 2016?

Love the design. But I would prefer Honda Jazz with its practicality

the backseat legroom is poor so it make sense to just get the 208?

Lets see whats new 308 in 2021 will looks like 🦁 2 weeks left to wait! 😃👍

Can you do the new 308

VW funboy

Can you do the 208

What car cant you say ‘at some angles the steering wheel can obstruct the view of the instruments’?

It’s beautiful

The rear visibility can't be good when the two outer head-rests are up ....

May has such a cool job, how do I get it?!

Did I miss engine range or didn't you talk about it? Is there petrol versions?

Bro wath its your problem? You like precedent car 308 or wath?

Very curious is this one as good as VW Polo?

I'm learning to drive in one of these. The steering wheel that blocks the gauges is a big issue for me. Its a choice between knee room or gauge visibility for anyone with long leg.

Shifts bad? Wtf are you talking about? Got this car myself and it shifts very wel, even at the garage people who know there shit claim the 308 shifts better then most modern cars.

i would go for a trim without the damn electronic parking brake (I'm a clarksonist)

I bought 308 GT 180 EAT8:- You have to set up the climate whilst parked - impossible (dangerous) to readjust while driving. The sat nav is impossible (very dangerous) to reset after accidentally touching the wrong spot on the screen while driving. This is particularly serious on major roads. My Garmin on the other hand lets me switch on to my route as I am approaching my destination - I don't have to listen to it for hours of driving on familiar roads. Also very irritating is not being able to use the radio while parked, say waiting for a passenger - it goes into "economy mode" and switches off - unless you keep the engine running - illegal or soon will be. Also if your expert would be so kind to tell us how to turn off the enhanced hifi-speaker engine sound in "sport" mode - is the annoying noise a deterrent from using it - some sort of economy nudge by Peugeot? I have the Denon speaker version and whilst it might make the pseudo engine noise impress adolescents and younger, it doesn't impress me or other adults that might enjoy listening to radio or music. On the plus side, its a nice drive especially on winding country roads.

Mat please review the Volvo S60!
