back to article Sporty in all but name: Peugeot 308 e-THP 110

Peugeot’s recent mid-sized hatchbacks have been a less than inspiring bunch. The 307 and the original 2007 model year 308 were dull, globulous mediocrities and not very well screwed together to boot. The all-new 308 however is a rather more interesting bag of bananas. Peugeot 308 e-THP 110 Peugeot's 308 e-THP 110: handsome …

    I used to own a 1980's 2.2 Audi 100 that did 0-60 in under 9 seconds and average 42 enthusiastic miles per gallon; and I am willing to bet that if it hadnt been killed by an old fart, that it would still be going, unlike these micro engines that are too highly tuned and turbo'ed to last.

      "AND ARENT ANY MORE ECONOMICAL IN REAL TERMS."

      The real difference for these engines shows around town. If you're continually thrashing this engine within an inch of its life it won't last long, but small engines mean lower consumption in traffic jams or stop/start traffic.

      Realistically most engines spend 99% of their life at 10% power or lower, so it's best to build for that size and boost when needed. A petrol engine is _only_ maximally efficient (around 35%) at near full load and wide open throttle. The rest of the time the efficiency is measured in single digit percentages. Diesels are just as bad.

      I am surprised this hasn't been married to a small electric drive. That's probably next year's iteration.

      As for french electrics: I feel the pain, however my Nissan Primera P12 T-spec (full of cables and devices with Renault labels and fussy things like Lidar with "made in france" labels) has been amazingly reliable in the electrics department - only a silly tail light connector design which lets water into the plug (corrosion) and is easily cured by cleaning, then packing it with Vaseline.

      1. Dave Horn

        Re: Bah Humbug

        "Diesels are just as bad."

        Since a diesel has no throttle your comparison isn't valid. The 2 litre lump in the Vauxhall Insignia (weighing, what, maybe twice as much?) can return upwards of 75 mpg when driven like a vicar and even bumbling around town has never gone below 50 mpg.

        Admittedly it may be killing us all with its dioxides, but it has a DPF that seems to work. Still think the best solution for the dinky petrol engines is in the hybrid design where their sole job is to generate electricity under perfect load conditions.

    +1 on this. Was able to borrow a Vauxhall Ampera for a weekend recently. Has touch-sensitive controls which is just insane - you can't operate them driving along because your hand shakes as you go over bumps and end up pressing the wrong button. You can't even support your hand by resting a couple of fingers on the dash and then pressing the button you want as you'll trigger something else.

    If you're going to keep this up, at least review unusual non-mainstream things like electric motorcycles or something, instead of boring salad bowl turd-on-wheels commuter boxes.

    What a horrible plasticky piece of crap.

    I run a 2001 4.4 v8 x5.

    It's got everything from double glazing, 12 airbags to TV and 300hp.

    It cost 70k fully specced up in 2001.

    But I bought it in 2006 for 15k.

    8 years later it's every bit the same as it was when it came off the production line.

    My depreciation costs are less in 8 years than nearly ANY new car you buy will be after a year.

    It does 25mpg. So the fuck what ? It doesn't go wrong. My COSTS are less than this thing would be per month.

    Now you may hate bmws, you may hate 4x4s. Hopefully you will however realise that is not the point....

    Even smart people who are aware of stuff like cost per mile, etc still seem to fixate on mpg.

    If you really want cheap transport :

    1. Don't buy new

    2. Don't buy new

    3. Don't buy new

    4. Buy a 5 year old luxury car. From the body work, interior fitting to the large low stressed engines they are run and run and run. BMW, merc, Porsche, top range Audi whatever...

    Oh...and finally I'd swear blind that by NOT causing another car to be manufactured my old x5 is a damn site greener than this thing too.

        I do 4k a year - so 4-500 quid difference a year between 25mpg vs 50.

        then factor in the fact my depreciation is about 1000 a year.

        that's 1500 quid a year without servicing, etc)

        your brand new pugget will have cost you 5-8k the first year alone. But... ooo you've saved 400 quid on fuel. yippee doo.

      You've been lucky to own a >10 year old BMW without having your wallet emptied. Generally, the modern ones are just so darned fragile, especially in the electronics department. BMW's used to be finely-engineered brick outhouses, now they are finely-engineered delicate machines.

      Once some mysterious module fails, you're down the dealer with his computer to get the module correctly installed.

      Anyone remember 90's-00's Light Control Modules? Failed by leaving the headlights on (never buy a BMW with "blown headlight bulb") and cost £100 or so for a new one. But, you have to have the dealer do it, as the LCM also stores the current mileage, to prevent clocking.

      Then there's dash LCD's, variable valve assembly, the list goes on. I'm sure these are fixed now, but what new device exists to catch us out?

        And even when the odd things goes wrong and needs fixing, its costing you less to service than the main dealer rates your paying for your brand new pugget tin can. So you can afford to have to replace the odd component and still come up tops.

        On the other hand the amount of things that have gone wrong with mates cars that always buy new is as long as my arms.

        Saying the above, having had both now for 10 years nearly, I'm ready for a change, and plan to punt em both in for an SLK 350 2005/6. Again - it'll be a 8/9 year old car, which was 40k new, but I can pick up for 12k. And I expect to get another 10 years of pretty much hassle free cheap motoring for less than the cost of a brand new piece of tin crap.

    A heap of cr@p

    I've driven a variety of these new Peugeots over the last 6 months (including the 308), and they can be summarised as follows :

    (i) Well screwed together.

    (ii) an ergonomic nightmare (touchscreen & electronic handbrake).

    (iii) understeers like a wounded rhino (I'm pretty experienced at driving FWD cars quickly, and the Peugeot just would not grip, regardless of how I drove it).

    (iv) lots of torque at low revs which deceives the brain into thinking it's fast (it's not BTW).

    (v) Not that economical when driven in normal traffic

    (vi) The bits of the car that the driver doesn't touch/see feel a little cheap and plasticky.

    Why an electronic handbrake? It's the single most pointless 'improvement' on a car. All that it managed to do was to trip me up every time I was in stop start traffic, perhaps I'm unique in using the handbrake rather than just using the foot brake.

    The touchsceen is the work of Satan himself, unresponsive and fiddly. Try changing the temperature whilst driving down a typical UK A road, it's near impossible as your fingers bounce all over the display.

    Connecting my phone by Blutooth was hit and miss. I once spent 20 minutes of a journey attempting to connect my phone. I eventually stopped in a laybay and turned the ignitiion off and then back on again (I kid you not). It then connected straight away. I had to reboot the car to make the Blutooth sync work!

    I have no complaints about the cars performance, it's a small diesel engined FWD family car, it's no better or worse than other cars in it's calss in this respect.

    Finally, I can only assume that it's Peugeots turn to win car of the year, as from my experience the Hyundai i20 I used the previous week was better in almost every other aspect.

    1. Brenda McViking

      Re: A heap of cr@p

      Agreed.

      The only thing worse than picking one of these Peugeots up at the corporate-hire-car-operator-du-jour is a Kia Carens. Give me a Hyundai over these any day. Or a Citroen DS5 - they're not that bad.

      The new 308 (and the old - this goes for the 508 and 5008 too) has absolutely no feel in any of the controls. Steering - might be connected to the wheels, but I can't tell. I don't know whether a curved slip road requires 5 degrees or almost full lock - and neither does the car from the feel of it.

      Brakes, might be connected to the wheels somehow - I honestly can't tell. I press it and something happens, but it doesn't seem to respond to how hard I push it or how quickly. Now Ford are guilty of the so-called "digital" braking system - i.e. "1" or "0" but this is too far the other way.

      The accelerator just is a squishy mess - It doesn't give any feedback, just makes more noise as you press into the sponge of a pedal - doesn't appear to actually control acceleration.

      But by far the most hideous aspect of these latest Peugeots are the automatic gearboxes - they have all the finesse of a learner driver with 45 minutes worth of experience, over-rev, jerky, or take 18 seconds to change - it seems to pick one of these options at random every time it wants to change gear. They also seem to have programmed gear changes to happen at bang on 30 or 40 mph. Which means it can never. make. up. its. mind.

      It is the most disconnected driving experience I have ever had, and I've driven several american cars which had an entire design team focussed on being as mushy as possible. This was worse. I think it is best described as driving a bus with the handling characteristics of a bouncy castle.

      I also had a HUD in the last one i was given, which was interesting for the first 5 minutes. I then realised that I still had to take my eyes off the road to read it - so it was no different to any other dashboard display.

      This car is perfect for those who cannot be bothered with any intellectual effort whilst driving; for the person who when asked what car they drive replies "a red one," and expects a nod of recognition for that as a legitimate answer.

      Plenty of them around though - I'm sure it will sell well.

      I may take issue with your mention of an electric (rather than "electronic", although technically it's both) parking brake being "pointless". My (German, high-end) car has got those and they are great--essentially, you forget about it as it's completely automatic: it engages when you park, shut down the engine, or remove your seatbelt while stopped, and it disengages when you press the gas pedal (unless you forgot to put your seat belt on--you can still drive off if you insist, but need to release it by hand). Now, if you on this Frogmobile you still have to operate the parking brake manually then yes, I agree it's sort of pointless.

From memory it had around 112bhp, but it seems to plenty for my purposes. I think it cost be just under £14K at the time. Yes, there are issues with diesel particulates (although it's got a particulate filter, so I don't know how much that helps).

        Škoda is a Volkswagen Group company, but although they share platforms, technologies, and components, a Škoda is not "just a rebadged VW". Each brand in the VW Group have their separate R&D and design departments, so the cars can be more different than they appear at first sight. If you don't care about certain extras, a Škoda is often much better value than the "equivalent" VW.

    Looked at 208, 2008 and 308. Now I like Peugeots - had them since 2001 so maybe I'm biased...

    Liked to 308 - but I wanted something a bit fun - and wasn't sure about EVERYTHING going through the touch screen.

    So chose a 208 GTi - bit different than the diesel, but the touch screen was much better - it controls the things you expect - Stereo, SatNav and fuel computer. Heating and everything else is still a physical control.

    Honestly - that's the only reason I chose the 200bhp 208 GTi...

    Better than expected

    I've been running a similar car - a 2008 - as a hire car until my company car is delivered. I was prepared to hate it, I've never had a reliable French car before, but actually it's not bad.

    The touchscreen is perhaps the worst part - yes, all the settings are on there for things like lighting, but thankfully mine has separate climate controls. However, as in-car entertainment it's dire - the bluetooth randomly drops connections to one of my phones (tested with two Android handsets, and two Blackberrys, so not a fault of the handset) which might be part way through a call. I found an update - the unit is amusingly called a SMEG - but the same happens, even after watching a command line interface scroll past on the dashboard which cheered me up slightly. Speakers are the worst I've ever heard in any car.

    The stop-start works well, and although mine is the diesel, I've got 64MPG average which is closer to published figures than I've ever had before - this is over 13,000 miles of mixed driving. Annoyingly, the trip computer stops counting at 6,412 miles so I had to go to my fuel records to find that out.Oh yeah, 13,000 miles on a hire car - Europcar are going to hate me, it's coming up for a service soon!

    Other negatives are the paintwork is mega-thin - I tapped the door against a rotten fence and it flaked the paint off. Also, the wheels just look stupid, like some Halfords chav efforts.

    Positives, it has a light-up roof lining (there's strips of LEDs in a sort of circuit design running the length) and the boot is huge for the size of car.
