Peugeot 308 review

The base model is a smidge over £15,000, and around £3k cheaper than a base 1.2-litre VW Golf, so it’s good value to kick off with. There’s a 92bhp 1.6-litre diesel that returns a claimed 78.5mpg while emitting just 95g/km of CO2 (to make it road tax exempt). Another version of this engine returns 91.1mpg and gives off just 82g/km of CO2. Witchcraft. Peugeot packs in plenty of kit for the money too, with the top-spec Feline even offering niceties such as massaging seats.
