I sat in one the other day and had no problem with the steering wheal or reading the dials and rear legroom was great. (I'm 6ft1 and set the seat to my driving position and I still fit in the back)

Her negative comments on the base model of the 208 really surprise me. A couple of days ago I had a test drive with the entry-level petrol engine, so the naturally aspirated 1.2 Puretech 3-cylinder unit. On paper it is very gutless indeed, with its limited power output and its high-end torque. In reality it actually feels quite punchy, and most buyers who are in the market for a supermini powered by a 3-cylinder engine will be more than happy with it.

I had no issues what so ever with the visibility to see the dials but it does help that you drop the steering wheel below the dials and the seats were like sitting in a arm chair as for the rest of the car one of the best city cars I’ve driven with a confident feel at motorway speeds and not the nervous feel that the review stated

I'm driving the 208 for my driving lessons and I think its a great little car, really easy to drive and park. and I personally LOVE the driving position, I can see the speedo more easily in the 208 than in other cars because its above the steering wheel :)

Yes, but it is the reviewer who got it wrong. :) Her driving position is completely wrong and she is wrong about the feel of the steering and doesn't mention that this is one of the most comfortable cars in it's class.

Sat into a Peugeot 208 GTi recently and i have to agree with her about the steering wheel blocking the dials, its a real head wrecker and something they will lose sales over. Other than that i did really like the car.

I'm 5'8 and I've had no problem with the dials. Maybe all these journalists but can't adjust their seats properly!

I have just driven the 208 GTi too. -I had absolutely no problem with the steering wheel blocking the dials. The driving position of the 208 was just spot on for me. How tall are you? I am 5'6...

I think some journalist such as this one just does not adjust their steering wheel and seats when they get into a new car.

Uncomfortable driving position because steering wheel is set low? She is obviously not getting it. Are you more comfortable with your hands working at lower position or higher? Peugeot has deliberately made the steering wheel smaller and lower so you can drive them easier with less arm movements.

Does anyone know the actual height/ width of the steering wheel? I can't find it anywhere as I'm looking to buy a steering wheel cover and getting a load of different measurements? Mines is a 2013 Peugeot 208 1.2 vti 82bhp. Petrol.

This is a terrible review! How are the dials covered! move the seating position or steering wheel, for God's sake! Just knock it because it's different. steering does lack any feed from the road, my alfa mito had better steering but this rides better and feels better quality than my alfa! massive problem with this car, is the clutch, maybe just on the 1.2 version. the biting point is very high. Although you do get used to it. I have the 1.2 and coming from a 1.4 Alfa. I can't tell the difference, only that this seems to have more torque and spends less time in petrol station.

I had the misfortune to be given this model as a hire car at Nice Airport in France. It is the most souless car I have ever driven. I was a Diesel and was too noisy. The seating was very uncomfortable and I had great difficulty getting into the car because of the low roofline and I am not very tall. The worst car I have ever driven in my life.
