What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
This is a tiny city car, so it would be unreasonable to expect executive-car sophistication from the 108. Even so, the little one has a reasonably controlled ride quality and safe handling characteristics. It’s not meant to be a thrilling driver’s car, but its small size means that gaps in traffic are easily exploited and that parking is a breeze. The facts that it rides with acceptable fluency (for such a light car) and that it’s decent around corners are mere bonuses.

The seats are upholstered in cloth with an attractive plaid pattern, however, many of the touch surfaces are made with hard plastics. Many conveniences feature including power steering, air conditioning, a multi-function steering wheel, electric front windows, remote central locking, and a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system with cellphone mirroring and Bluetooth- and USB compatibility.
Style
The Peugeot 108 looks cheerful and friendly, however, even with the LED daytime running lights, is becoming dated when compared with other models in the Peugeot stable. The designers did succeed in creating an upmarket appearance upfront and at the rear where an all-glass tailgate feature. The taillights incorporate Peugeot’s signature claw-like design.
