Thank you everyone for your lovely positive comments. I am back but without the busy schedule of filming. I hope to bring you a few new car reviews as and when I have access to them. In the meantime thank you for your patients and support 😁👍

WOW! It's great to see you again. Always appreciate your content and hope you will be round more often.

Nice to see a review of the base model. All other reviewers always have the top of the line trims. For poorer sods like me it's good to see what the difference is

Welcome back, Ryan. Good to see you again. Always enjoyed your content, hope to see more?

YES! He’s back! I love the vids on this channel - so informative & real-world orientated. 👍

Good to see a video of a base model for a change, good to see you back too.

Welcome back Ryan. We had a petrol 208 back in 2013 and it was a great, nippy and reliable little car. This e208 looks gorgeous and the interior is nicer than its Citroen and Vauxhall sisters. So I'm going to call it Cinderella. Take care buddy. Keep well.

Good to see you back , and always enjoy your reviews.

Nice to have you back on. Always enjoy your reviews.

One of my favourite channels, nice to see you back, keep the videos coming

Great insights into the actual experience of the car, thanks Ryan.

Great to see another of your videos. Really good to see what you get with an entry level car.

Great to see you back. Your vids are one of the reasons I went ev. As others have said I like your style and honesty. Great review btw

Great to see you back👍👍

Good to see you back!

Great to see you back

Great review.......honest and makes me happy that I'm getting a 208e GT line next week. 😊👍

Another fantastic review!!! Oh, and, welcome back...

Another Great video...Been a while!

Good to see you back ,things seemed to go array when you linked up with Just ev's!

good to see you back.

Nice car good to see you back.

Fantastic review as always my friend and always good to see you

Hi, Ryan! Great to hear from you again. 🙂👍 Thanks for the video, and we wish you all the best for 2021. One thing about the Peugeot strikes me: _It looks like an ordinary car, but without the smell._ That's a real positive: EV's becoming mainstream today.

Great review again. Hope you and your family are safe and well kind regards Mark

Look forward to seeing you soon 😊

Only just found your channel and I find them a cut above majority of the others. Well produced and presented with an easy style plus the important to-the-point content. One question if I may - You mentioned about how quiet the e208 was but that other EV's you've tested are quieter. Can you specify what cars they were please? Thanks.

Finally someone make a review of the entry line model!👍 Wait for that since the car came out..big thanks! In Sweden entry base model is "Active" like the standard instrument cluster more then 3D ones😎

You're right to complain about touchscreens. You take your eyes off the road at least twice to do anything. Bring back the three rotary knobs that you can always find without looking - usually first time.

A very fair review of this car, I still think EVs have a long way to go but they’ve got less than 10 years to become mainstream and more readily available. I hope they do drop in price too, the problem that I see is that EVs are dirt cheap to run (at the moment) but and it is a big but is that most people buy a vehicle on finance and I really can’t imagine finance companies lending them the extra money that an EVs costs to purchase as the running costs do not concern a finance company. Anyhoo good to see you making another video 👍

Brilliant to see your face again Ryan 😍

Great to see you back. Good, and honest, review. Being particularly long bodied I suspect that steering wheel "feature" would drive me nuts. Nice looking car but I've seen other videos saying it can't match the range of the Zoe ZE50 that I'm driving now. Granted, the Pug has 100kw charging.

Well done for reviewing the lower end model, I’m fed up seeing motoring journalists always reviewing the most expensive models. The old ‘ yes it’s another £5k for the premium car but it’s worth it’ reviews’ . With petrol and diesel you get more powerful engines etc, most EV’s it’s the same battery and power train, bigger screen and slightly faster charging - not good value for most of us!

Bought the gt great car

Nice to see you back. I was starting to worry! Looks like the mainstream manufacturers are starting to address the budget end of the market now. This and it's siblings are the pick of the affordable EVs IMO. I'm desperate to get into an EV as soon as I can afford to and it seems that day isn't far away now.

Had my E208 GT Line for 7 months and covered 8,000 miles trouble free. Never been a fan of Peugeot and shied away from them. However test drove an E208 on a whim and was blown away by the design architecture and build quality compared to the Zoe I was considering. I was initially sceptical of the small steering wheel but for me at six foot tall it works great. When I get in other cars now it feels like driving a bus with a huge steering wheel! In summer in mixed driving the best I got out of a charge was 190 miles with 5% battery remaining. Winter about 150 miles so meets all my needs. Downsides are that the app is a bit flaky, you need 50% remaining battery to precondition and the reversing camera is very poor quality. Aside from that it’s a winner and the 100kW liquid cooled charging makes long journeys a breeze.

great review as mentioned already its good to see the base model. i hope you do a review on the vw id.3 i pre booked one but when i seen the interior i cancelled it i think if your paying €35,000 for a car it should be of decent quality

Peugeot lost me as a customer because of the display/steering wheel layout. I just can’t get it set without cutting through the display. I’ve loved every Peugeot I’ve had but I can’t get on with their current design on the dash. Lovely looking car & if they go back to a more conventional layout I’ll have one. Thanks Ryan.

Nice to see you back. Do you still have the leaf or have you purchased a new model?

Good to see your channel back in action again Ryan. Peugeot designs have come on leaps and bounds the last few years but your review shows the compromises made when an EV is based on an ICE platform. Rear seat space would be better if this were a clean-sheet EV design, along the lines of VW’s MEB platform. Designers would have much more scope. PSA’s policy of running ICE and EVs down the same production line is interesting and their initial sales, especially here in France this year are encouraging but when they come up against a ‘pure’ EV alternative they are likely to lose out in comparison tests.

Great to see u back again. U are to blame for me buying an ev and boring everyone about them. More reviews from someone’s opinion I trust please

Thanks. The point of the steering wheel size and shape is to have the display higher and more in line with the road. It kind of makes a head up display redundant. But yes, it's a matter of taste. We like it in the 3008.

Regen is probably useful only in towns and down the mountains, otherwise rolling freely is best when preserving the energy.

Welcome back. I pretty much agree with everything you say. However I'm one of those that detests that small wheel, I had to drive an ICE 3008 as a hire car and I absolutely hated that small wheel, like you I set the steering wheel low but it was horrid, so much so that I'd never buy a Peugeot with a small wheel. How did you find the build quality of the piano key controls, I felt that the surround was really flimsy and flexed, another reason for me to avoid the latest Peugeot's.

Hi Ryan , good video sir ! At my 6'4 i found the steering wheel odd in the GT trim level , also its not very efficient at the moment here on orkney , the best is 2.7 miles per kwh ! Good to 'see' you again , take care , Jp

Hi. I hope you are well. I have a question regarding my 30kw Nissan leaf tekna. For context it's a 2017 model and has done 15,000 miles I will soon be going back in the office, the distance is 40 miles there and 40 back. My place of work has a charger though I am not sure which one. My question is, we have a home charger device and I am wondering if it's okay to charge the battery to 100% regularly for work?

Finally

Coming from a Model 3 this e-208 is the less noisy one, we tested even with a meter. Our roads are quite shitty....

Great review. As to the car, for the price, range is the biggest downside. I have test driven the the DS crossback e-tense & Peogeot e2008 and both have design faults. I am 6 ft and either hit my legs on Peugeot steering wheel getting in or when raising the wheel obscuring the instruments. Shame, as it is great to drive, but design could be improved.

Anyone know if Peugeot use a LFP battery in the e208 and e2008?

Thanks for a brutally honest review. I'm due to shortly get an ex demo Allure e208 so naturally I was riveted by your commentary. What dismayed me (of the near fifty other reviews I've read yours is the only one to comment on what follows) was your observation that the car you drove had rattles... I can't abide the slightest such noise in vehicles but, repeat, yours was the lone offender so hopefully my fears are unfounded in this connection... It's fascinating that, again, you're virtually the sole tester to opine that other BEVs are quieter than the Pug... Oh dear... Given the majority view to the contrary on these two points I'm perplexed.

Haha, keep fit windows 😁👍🏼

Where did you go, my friend? We miss your videos.

Thanks for your vids, always well presented and informative - top gear for non wankers

Manual windows in 2020, what is this?!

Near side charge port in U.K.? I don’t understand why more EV’s don’t have this. If you’re potentially roadside parking it makes a huge difference having the charge port pavement side.

Haven't seen you Ryan since August! I thought you were dead from Covid-19.

I’m just your sizes and have a lot of space behind me, wonder why? 🧐 Hint: Look at your arms and the smaller steering wheel, you should adjust it so your hand go way over and not the traditional way.

Have you stopped doing videos ?

The front looks over-fussy to me. I don't know why manufacturers insist on having these huge grille's when they are not necessary, they must surely affect the aerodynamics of the car. @2:40 if I was buying this car that mismatch rear bumper would make me wonder if it has been rear ended. If it hasn't then this is shocking quality for a new car. Same deal @ 22:30, is it just a trick of light I wonder? Nevertheless it would annoy me no-end. The rear is the best part of the rear design of the car imo,vthe rear lights are reminiscent of the Fiat barchetta with a flavour of the mustang mach E. The charge point door looks like they made an error cuting out the hole,vit looks stupid intruding into the wheel arch. The designer should have their employment terminated for this effort. The interior, as mentioned, does look modern and refreshingly different and looks quite chic. I'm not a fan of black/grey themes though, I would prefer contrasting colour choices to brighten up the interior. I do not like the tiny steering wheel at all, I have tried a friend's peugeot with this wheel and became irritated very quickly having to duck around the top to see the dials and the continued 'wobble' whenever turning it. Keep-fit windows in the rear😂 Overall it is a decent car if you can live with its quirks....but not for me. I like your different camera angles, what camera are you using in the rest, is it 360deg? Another enjoyable review, thanks Ryan.

Not bad but new zoe better , 100 kw dc charging best point but you may never use it

Think you should still correct some of the errors in your MG ZS review. How can we take any other reviews seriously after watching that fiasco. Facts need to be right. I used to love your channel. What went wrong ?

I drive a Peugeot van at work and that has a small steering wheel. I find nothing wrong with it being small and cut-off, but it's the thought of not being able to see the instrument binnacle that really puts me off - poor design!

Why on earth support a brand that’s propped up by its government - a government that’s sole aim right now is to cause us as much pain as possible.

EVs ainthr answer, yet. 150 miles 🤣

. . NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. . . . .
