exactly, this is how electric cars should look 👍🏿

Even though it’s based on the ICE version I agree. I don’t want a car that’s flashy and you know it’s not an ICE car. That’s why I like the Taycan and E-Tron GT, because they just look like a normal high end, performance sedan.

No you’re just a normal person who likes to fit in 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

@@Kimbrough87 I don’t like showing off that’s all.

@@joshhancill7273 who said being confident in your appearance and what you like was showing off though That's a subconscious emotion

They are nice to drive also 😃

There's a beautiful black 208 parks in our local Tesco and whenever I see it I can't take my eyes of it. Such classic lines and no-nonsense styling. It has a nice solid stance on the road too.

Nah it doesn't that is a accurate score main problem with toyota and honda is they will go to the moon and back but at the cost of interior quality . I had for a brief while a 2017 Toyota yaris Hybrid I inherited from a family member and the car was nice but the interior quality was appalling but I sold that and my old car for a 2021 Dacia Sandero mk3 and honestly the interior is better screwed together in the Dacia compared to the Yaris .

It wasn't. It's a mistake in the video. The car is due a refresh this year for increased range but they have said the battery will still be the same 50kw battery that's in all Stellantis EVs.

Honda isn’t available in the US, unfortunately

The Honda E cannot currently be sold in the USA because of American law which requires side mirrors on both sides which this car does not have since it uses cameras instead while the Puegot is not currently sold in the USA and plans for a brand relaunch in North America has been cancelled since the FCA/Groupe PSA merger into Stellantis but the next model of e206 will probably be sold in NA under the Chrysler or Dodge brand whenever a new model is released...

You could also get the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa which on the outside has the same kinda plumb-subcompact design and the uncolored plastic all around which I don't like on the Peugeot either. But then on the inside that's where you pay more for the interesting sterring wheel desing, the better looking and feeling buttons and the a little more comfy driving experience. But I'd definitely go fore the EV versions or at least the automatic. It's not that I hate the little N/A 1.2 Puretech 75hp engine BUT as a person with shoe-size 46 I sometimes hit the brake and clutch at the same time, that's stuff from 20 years ago I thought but no. The previous Opels and Peugeots felt way more spacious and zippier.

I agree with you when you look at the quality through a screen but when you actually feel the interior the 208 is definitely below. All buttons and everything you touch lools good but doesnt feel high quality in reality, thats what mini does well, everything is bmw inside of it!

@@jacobplatt3066 I own a F56 Mini Cooper S and while I agree with you to a certain extent being the switchgear you use feels of a high quality. There are far too many I’ll fitting panels and plastics around the cabin. At least on the Honda it feels cheap and will last forever but the Mini, not so much.

@@chriskonte1909 what can I say? I only drove Opel/Vauxhall before belonging to PSA.... It was bad...really bad. And the cars were expensive to repair and maintain and hard for mechanics to work on them. Driving and comfort were really awful but they had something the current Corsa has not: they looked cool, young and fresh. This Corsa is kind of boring and lacks at least one outrageous colour in the options to liven things up. It is a good car but not one you dream of buying it....

@@TheAllMightyGodofCod There's a good why you don't get that "I wanna have that car" -feeling; It looks clumsier than before, the old Corsas looked thinner and more agile while this Corsa F looks like a filled tart. Also interior space in limited when compared to an older Corsa E. No reason for me to buy a new Corsa instead of a Fiesta as a young person, tho the current Corsa finall outsells the Fiesta, reason being the full EV version I guess.

I have to disagree. I own a mini Se. I did a 74 mile round trip on the motor way doing 60-65. Came back with 48 percent. I've not done a cold weather trip myself but another mini Se owner got over 120 miles. It's all about preconditioning the battery.

No never go just off the readout on the dash with predicted miles, you are always far better looking at your miles per kW when doing normal driving and the Mini constantly averages over 4 miles per kW.

It’s a cracking car mate, I recommend it 👌🏿

While i absolutely think the 208 is the best car in the segment, never take "drive" advice from videos, take them for a test, sometimes what reviews don't like end up being something you love xD But yeah the 208 is the best car here by a lot

The Honda is a ground up EV design whereas the Mini is a converted ICE car so you'd expect the Honda to be better than it is range wise.

Vicki looks absolute stunning - year after year 😍

The Insight though in EV mode gets you about 1-1.5 mile of range which is totally pointless and 40mpg was good about two decades ago. 🙃 Would agree a Prius / Ioniq Electric are horrendous in range, performance and style, the new Ioniq 5 (+ Kia EV6) however are masterpieces.

They are for Aero it helps with the distance the car can run

Same, awesome car 👍🏿

I wonder how much the test changed in the last 5 years that it went from 5 to 0... I also personally think is bs that prevention mechanism are put together with crash safety... I think the scores should be separate, but thats just me

It is and I know, I drive one 🙌🏿

yep the current facelift made everything worse..

@@chriskonte1909 I just like the first and second models, after that everything just look out of proportion.

I only drove the Opel (Vauxhall) Corsa E which is on the same platform and has a similar price and it is nowhere near the Mini Cooper SE. Suspension, Traction Control, steering, chassis ridgidity. Everything is better in the mini. As well as the interior quality. Just test drive both of them and you will see :)

Love the front, not so sure about the back.

Rory not wooing you with the idea of a carefree trip to ikea?

Dribbling the content randomness over a month or more apparently builds the anticipation in @fifthgear's mind, in reality it pisses viewers off.

Rory Reed could put a glass eye to sleep

@@karldean4067 I'm looking for an expert to answer my question.

Happy new year Fifth Gear!

miles per kWh & kWh/100km are metrics that all EVs can be judged on no matter their class of vehicle like mpg is to ICE vehicles.

@@stevecade857 exactly this is why I get annoyed that range is a headline and efficency is fine print or non existent. Range is important because unlike ICE fuels, a source of refuelling isn't in every town but . . . If vehicle 'A' uses 30% more kWh than vehicle 'B' and both are in the same class than 'A' wins even if it has a smaller range. Same as if the comparison was ICE. Car C uses 8l/100km but has 40 litre tank so range is 500km. Car D uses 10l/100km but has a 60 litre tank so range is 600km. To me car C is the better, efficently engineered car.

@@waynehobbs5175 Effeciency in an electric car is more important as is harder and less convenient to increase your range in one than ice. Must adding a bigger, heavier, more expensive battery is not a good idea.

@@stevecade857 this is why the less kWh per 100km the better and why it should be deemed more important than range. From construction to scrapping in 10 years an EV saves 20% on greenhouse gasses. They are 3.5t behind on the showroom floor so to get some green credibility they need to be consuming less electricity.

Me neither,to me this isn't 5th gear it's just ev rubbish

@@davidrowley6500 I'm 75, my daily driver is a '16 Mazda MX-5/Miata with manual transmission. It's coming up on 80k miles, I will NEVER have an EV.

@@3ducs EVs are not really about driving enjoyment like a lightweight, manual ICE sports car but they are definitely getting better at it. The Mini and the e208 are both enjoyable to drive but because of the lack of noise, the extra weight and the fact they're an automatic some of that driving pleasure has gone. However you really shouldn't discount them as an everyday car. For that they're really very good. Short journeys with cold oil and no engine wear to think about with an EV. Just get in and go. Very quiet and relaxing to drive. Cheap to run (currently) and if you have a home charger supply you can pretty much have a full tank every morning. As long as you can still get in and out of that MX-5 and they have not priced or banned ICE cars off the road keep enjoying it while you can, but you should never say never. Go and try a a e208 or Mini Electric. They're not as bad as you think.

@@3ducs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMCnppqcqpm5ZZ8.html looks like fun to me

@@Dreamcee That makes me sad.

Ev’s produced less emissions over their life time than in a combustion engine car, that’s a fact. Stop trying to spread fake news.

@@TylerBenney Thank you for responding. The information above is not fake, it is accurate. Depending on where you live and how your electricity supply is produced, will have a major impact on whether or not a EV will produce less or more emissions than a ICE.
