At R179,900 the five-door French hatch is one of the more expensive vehicles in a playground that includes the Kia Picanto, Suzuki Swift and the new Hyundai Atos, but the price tag comes with the best safety package in the class. Like the rest of the Peugeot line-up, the 108 is sold with a new five-year/100,000km warranty and service plan — the brand previously offered a three-year/100,000km warranty with an optional service plan.As part of his turnaround plan for Peugeot, Gobille has also implemented improved customer service and aftersales efficiency at dealers, and the network will grow to 30 dealers by the end of this year.
These are modest outputs, but with the car tipping the scales at just 840kg it has a useful power-to-weight ratio. It is mostly suited to urban commuting but the little hatch was able to stretch its legs on the open road without too much complaint, even with four adults on board.However, the aircon has a very power-sapping effect on the performance, and it’s also a reasonably vocal engine, with the three cylinders getting quite buzzy when the revs rise.
The car’s tiny size comes into its own in the urban environment. The ’lil Peugeot scurries through the suburbs with the agility of a squirrel, and it’s the easiest thing to park. The light steering and slick-shifting gearbox also make minimal physical demands of the driver.
