The Peugeot 308 was launched in 2007and replaces the previous 307 model. Peugeot worked hard to improve the 308 and the differences are noticeable, there is a huge improvement both in quality and safety. The new 308 also has a longer wheelbase resulting in a more spacious interior, as well as having a restyled exterior. The improved safety features have led the 308 to achieve a maximum five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating. Features include seven smart airbags and Isofix child seat fittings. The 308 has been praised for its good balance of ride quality and sharp handling. There is also a large, spacious boot and a full size spare wheel which is a rarity on most modern cars. It's main rivals are the Ford Focus, Fiat Bravo and Vauxhall Astra.
