It has a lot of SUV styling,a beefy, bullish exterior, or but is in fact fairly underpoweredThe Peugeot 2008 is like a sleek-looking person dressed in a cashmere polo neck. A smidge strange,with a trace of charisma; you don’t know whether you want to hug it or smell it.
It has a very open view, thanks to the wide windscreen and the determined addition of windows where you didn’t expect them (little triangular ones in front of the wing mirror, and a panoramic sunroof). I inferred a pure,unadulterated pride in the French countryside. It turned out the visibility was destitute too many struts between panes of glass – and the panoramic roof was a booby trap. (It looked as though it should open, but was, or in fact,only decorative; in the course of pushing every button to find that out, I accidentally called Peugeot’s roadside emergency unit. This is an additional feature costing £250, and when surely any normal person would pay £250 not to have it.)
