The iconic Peugeot 205 GTI holds a stunning place in the automotive lexicon. After a decade of stellar performance, the little French machine called the ‘best hot hatchback of all time’ ended its production run in February 1994. The French automobile maker thought it time to revisit those halcyon days and has come up with the 308 1.6THP GTi. The car is available in two specifications with two levels of tuning – the 184kW 308 GTi 250 carries a recommended retail price of $44,990, while the 200kW 308 GTi 270… Read more

The Peugeot 208 range hasn’t exactly set Australian sales charts on fire, but has been a fine return to form for the French manufacturer after a couple of duffers. Its top-of-the-range 208 GTi has received plenty of attention for the most convincing attempt to reboot the beloved 205 GTi. However not every wants, or can afford, that range-topper. So Peugeot has sent the 208 Allure to finishing school to create a more affordable model called the GT Line. VALUE While the Peugeot 208 range starts at $15,990 with a five-speed… Read more

When the Peugeot 208 first landed in Australia four years ago it had a big job to do. The French company had been on the slide for a while, with the weak efforts of the old 308 and 207 undoing all the hard earned reputation of the cars they superseded. The 208 had a quiet start but seems to have caught on with people looking for a credible alternative to the Japanese and German light hatches. In 2015, the Peugeot 208 range got an update in the form of a… Read more

Peugeot’s 308 has been a critical hit in Europe and Australia, garnering big scores against some very stiff competition. As ever, the car has to fight against the onslaught of SUVs for the family car space on the driveway, the wagon doubly so. Almost despite the SUV challenge, a number of big carmakers have made a wagon version of their small hatchbacks available with Peugeot being no exception. Since its 2014 release, the French company has added this Touring version of the 308 to its line-up to build on the… Read more
