The 308 CC is one of a long line of Peugeot’s hatchback-based convertibles. The formula is to lop the roof off one of its best-selling family cars and replace it with, in this case, a folding metal hard-top (fabric hoods used to be the norm) – see the 307 CC and the really rather handsome 306 Cabriolet for details. The roof folds down in around 20 seconds with the push of a button and there’s a good choice of petrol and diesel engines. However, don’t be fooled into thinking this is a sports car, because it’s much more open-top cruiser than a proper drivers car, such as the Mazda MX-5.
