Peugeot 108 (2014-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very easy to drive	Very small boot, even for a city car
Lots of different colours and finishes	Some rivals are cheaper to insure
Affordable running costs	Early entry-level cars lack air conditioning

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 108 (2014-2020) is a diminutive city car that shares its platform with the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo. Available in three- and five-door bodystyles, and uniquely with a retractable fabric roof on select 'TOP!' models, the 108 is an entry-level Peugeot offering simple mechanicals and rock-bottom running costs. At less than 3.5 metres long with a 9.6-metre turning circle, it's exceptionally easy to manoeuvre through city streets and park in tight spaces, making it popular with learners and first-time buyers.

The 108 features two small petrol engines—a 68bhp 1.0-litre and an 82bhp 1.2-litre PureTech—paired with a five-speed manual or semi-automatic gearbox. Both deliver impressive fuel economy of around 50-54mpg. Early cars registered before April 2017 benefit from zero Vehicle Excise Duty, whilst later models pay £140 annually. Insurance premiums are affordable, though some rivals offer better rates. The cabin is well-equipped on higher trims, with mid-range models featuring air conditioning and touchscreen infotainment. However, the boot is cramped at just 196-litres, and rear-seat space is tight for adults. The 108 is more reliable than typical Peugeots and represents excellent value as a used car for budget-conscious buyers seeking economical urban transport.

Best for: First-time buyers, learners, and those seeking affordable, easy-to-drive urban transport with low running costs and minimal parking hassles.

Not ideal for: Drivers requiring spacious rear seating, large boot capacity, or those planning frequent motorway journeys where engine noise may prove tiresome.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 108 if: You're a first-time buyer or learner seeking affordable, easy-to-drive urban transport with low running costs and minimal parking hassles.

Consider alternatives if: You require spacious rear seating, large boot capacity, or plan frequent motorway journeys where engine noise may prove tiresome.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 108 (2014-2020) is a capable city car offering excellent value as a used purchase. Whilst it trails the Kia Picanto and Volkswagen Up in expert ratings, it matches the Toyota Aygo for user satisfaction. The 108's standout strengths are its exceptional ease of driving, affordable running costs, and distinctive styling options including the unique retractable roof. However, its diminutive boot and tight rear seating mean it's best suited to solo drivers or couples rather than families. For budget-conscious first-time buyers prioritising economy and manoeuvrability over space, the 108 remains a sensible choice, though the Volkswagen Up offers better value deals and the Kia Picanto provides a more modern alternative.
