Should you choose the Peugeot 308 GTi?
A practical buyer-focused readWhy choose it
- Strong acceleration for confident overtakes (0–100 km/h in 6.0 s).
- Efficient for its class at 6.0 L/100 km combined.
- Five-star safety rating for added reassurance.

Why skip it

- Petrol-only; no hybrid or plug-in alternative.
- Winter driving requires added care due to the FWD setup.
