Recently CAR Magazine pitted three popular hot hatchbacks against each other in a head-to-head Giant test to see which is better. Whilst all vehicles are considered the very best in their field, offering power, handling, economy and driver fun, there was only one overall winner:
The Peugeot 308 GTi 270 by Peugeot Sport.
For drivers seeking the biggest thrill on the roads, the 308 GTi 270 dominated,
“Peugeot rivals the Mini for thrills, the Golf for practicality”
On the subject of power, the 308 GTi 270 shows complete authority:
“The 308 romps it with a power-to-weight ratio of 222bhp per tonne, compared with 163bhp for the Gold, 187bhp in the Mini”.
With supreme handling high up on the list of hot hatch drivers, the 308 GTi kept on the good work,
“The 308 is firm, but rides with a light-footed keenness, pliancy and tactility that makes the Golf seem inert, more one-dimensional”.
With Peugeot’s history in the manufacturing of hot hatchbacks firmly established (thanks to the 205 GTi and 208 GTi), it is good to know they have kept up the excellent work on 308 GTi 270,
“It recaptures Peugeot’s hot-hatch glory days”.
All of these are direct quotes from the 8-page article in the June 2017 edition of CAR Magazine. If you’re considering which hot-hatchback is for you, we urge you to pick up a copy or visit our showroom where you can read the article in full,
“Power and torque – Peugeot punches hardest with smallest fist”.
