Peugeot 208

The Peugeot 208 feels like a city-savvy fox: compact, stylish and surprisingly grown-up, with a cabin that punches above its weight and enough personality to make daily commutes a little less boring. It’s a smart pick for buyers who want chic practicality without the showroom bluster — easy to park, thrifty to run and oddly fun when the road tightens up.

It really is the Swiss Army knife. Six people on holiday at a summer cottage including all their luggage. Or how about four people in the car plus a dishwasher standing in as baggage. Or five people, two of them in child seats plus two strollers in the back. And it's also super comfortable on long trips. You sit well and it has a nice interior. Today there's nothing comparable that can replace it. Oh, and it actually does the 16–17 km/l it's rated for.
