I honestly think this review is incredibly biased. Not just in the reviewer but also in the comments. Just because it has a Honda badge does NOT make it a better car automatically. A pathetic range, overpriced pricetag and that really pointless full screen interior is just ridiculous. Double wishbone or not, Honda or not, there is no point recommending the Honda over the 208. And there is certainly no point comparing the e208 to the 205!

The clue is the 16" wheels and no 240V socket. The Advance has PS4 tyres, and that alone would have been enough to beat the e208 on track but the extra power would have put some distance in too. Considering it was up against the GT, it's an unfair test but I blame Honda because they should have supplied an Advance. Their PR dept needs a serious rethink.

@@Chester-UK if you look carefully at 3:06 you can see the dash and steering wheel, with the 220v socket peaking out, the heated steering wheel button on wheel, and the parking pilot button on the dash which only came on the Advance model. As for the wheels, my 2020 E Advance came with 16" wheels for some reason too. I'd say the combo of skinnier wheels and the weight of the glass roof had a big part to play in not getting around corners fast enough.

A rather poor review that. The shootout shouldn’t be subjective, it should be based upon the facts. The Peugeot trumps the Honda in every aspect, especially when it comes to price versus range. The cheaper, faster and longer range Peugeot was clearly the better car and should be the one that was recommended in the review.

I can't get my head around car designers changing ideas that have been around for decades because decades ago, they knew it was the best way to go. So Pugs over the steering wheel dashboard. *Pathetically pointless.* But it's OK if you're a _certain_ height. And unless you are that height, then it doesn't matter what you do, you'll never see the dashboard properly. But if you can see it, then the steering wheels in totally the wrong place. My missus is five foot nothing. And that's on a good day. So she'd never be able to get the steering wheel low enough to see over it. It would have to be removable, wireless, and resting on her lap*. * I just hope I've not opened up a can of worms and some designer is now thinking, _"Hmmm... A wireless steering wheel that sits on the drivers lap? And you wouldn't be able to steal the car without it. An interesting idea..."_
