Peugeot 308 review: In a tough class, there's something special about the 308

The 308 is a much sharper handler than the PHEV we previously tried - largely because it's not as heavy and the super sharp steering rack makes point-and-squirt driving a realistic proposition

The new Peugeot 308 is a serious challenge to the Volkswagen Golf and the Ford Focus in its segment, and the 1.2 'Pure Tech' engine is a brillian, small three cylinder unit

Price	€36,455 as tested
Engine	a small but perfectly formed 1.2 turbocharged  petrol unit with 130bhp

Verdict	good, but just a tad shy of being great
