Power and Performance
With the Peugeot 308 CC, you can choose between the 1.6- as well as the 2.0-litre diesel and petrol engines from the 308 model. The CC doesn’t like being pushed with the extra weight of its roofing system on it. This means the CC is perfect for road cruisers rather than racing enthusiasts. The 197bhp petrol engine is good, quiet and smooth; while not being too expensive to manage. This even seems to apply more to its 112bhp diesel engine.
Interior & Exterior
The body shell of the CC is stiff, providing a sense of rigidity and firmness in the car; and when the roof is up it becomes even more stable. This makes it a great companion on long distant journeys. In the cabin, its contoured seats provides a sporty driving position
When the roof is closed, the boot is spacious for some luggage, though you may want to travel with fewer things if you want it open. This is because loading and unloading luggage is a little tricky when the roof is stowed. There is just enough leg room for the back seats, as the front ones can be slide forward to make enough space – mainly for short journeys anyway.
Its standard air conditioning, alloy wheels, cruise control, automatic headlamps, climate control are really great. Not to mention the parking sensors and a warning system for tyre pressure. There is also the airwave neck heater that keeps your neck conditioned during the cold by blowing warm air on you.
Safety and Reliability
The 308 CC is a safety kit by itself; with six airbags and stability controls, the metal roof make it much more secure that other convertibles with fabric hoods. The glove box can be remotely locked, also improving its security. The great thing about this is that, this standard is same across all the models.
Peugeot has improved in their reliability, and with the 308 CC, quality materials are used throughout. You have peace of mind both in reliability and security. There is also the five star rating for crash, with pop-up roll bars that are activated once there is a crash.
eBest Cars Verdict
For the Peugeot 308 CC, with impressive diesel engine that is economical to use, it can be a great to have one. The cost of keeping the car is not so high, making it appealing if you consider daily costs of maintaining a supercar. It is also slightly cheaper when compared to other rival coupe.
Peugeot 308 CC is competitively priced and has stunning exterior design, but it falls short of automotive rivals. It does not offer comfortable ride and rear seats are cramped.
