The Peugeot 108 is a stylish city car with plenty to like about it.
The 108 is the Peugeot version of the Joint PSA-Toyota city car project which also spawned the Citroen C1 and the Toyota Aygo.
Cabin build quality and design is a big step up from the 107 - the switchgear feels robust and the dashboard is easy to use.
Peugeot has managed to give the 108 a unique look, with claw-print lights at the back mimicing the claws of the Peugeot lion badge.
The 108 comes with USB connectivity, DAB radio and a Mirror Link function for use with Android mobile devices as standard.
The 108 comes with two petrol engines: a 1.0-litre 68bhp unit which returns 74.3mpg, and a 1.2-litre 82bhp motor that gets 65.7mpg.
The 108 has improved a lot over the 107 in terms of safety, scoring four out of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests.
Many of the 107’s components are carried over so the most of the parts are robust, reliable and well proven.
Around town the 108’s tight turning circle, compact dimensions and light controls make driving a breeze, but it lacks the sparkle to make it fun to drive.
The range consists of five trim levels: Access, Active, Allure, Feline and the 'TOP! Roland Garros' model – this also gets some tennis-inspired interior trim.
If you want to add a bit of individuality and character to your 108, the French firm offers two-tone paint schemes and a host of funky sticker packs.
The 108 will carry four adults at a pinch, but it could do with more rear legroom and you get a 196-litre boot - nowhere near the best in class.
