2016 Peugeot 308 GTI
No should be so timid this time. Peugeot Sport's rediscovered its magic recently; the RCZ R and 208 GTI 30th (now called the GTI by Peugeot Sport) are supreme wafers, and now Peugeot's break group of frame architects have turned their thoughtfulness regarding the cleaned, refined however not immensely energizing to-drive 308. Also, they should feel certain, in light of the fact that there's an "I" on the bootlid.
New 2016 Peugeot 308 GTI: what's the story?
For one thing, it's accessible in two forms: the GTI 250 and GTI 270, both controlled by the same turbocharged 1.6-liter four-pot. They're named for their metric drive yield, so that implies 248bhp and 266bhp separately, with an indistinguishable 243lb ft torque yield.
Both get broadly redid suspension (more on which presently) and recalibrated guiding, 19in haggles few refreshingly unobtrusive styling changes, in spite of the fact that you can pick an insane plunge kicked the bucket 'Car Franche' paintjob to liven things up on the off chance that you truly need to.
Likewise with whatever remains of the 308 hatchback range, it's five-entryway just – the three-entryway average sized bring forth is turning into an uncommon animal varieties nowadays.
Peugeot 308 GTI 250
We drove both the 250 and 270 consecutive. Both lose 11mm from the normal 308's ride tallness, pick up retuned dampers, more forceful camber, resized against move bars and swap the springs for significantly stiffer ones – by 60% at the front, 100% at the back contrasted and a 308 GT.
Out and about that means a delicate ish at the front, solid at the back feel that works pleasantly. The front Michelins chomp into the landing area acutely on turn-in, there's tremendous parallel grasp mid-corner (yet a lot of off-throttle customizability), keeping in mind it will waste its time in case you're overwhelming footed, the 308 GTI finds respectable footing on exit as well.
What's more, despite the fact that it can lift-off oversteer as energetically as a self-regarding hot Peugeot should, it'll do as such just if incited. Driven perfectly and flawlessly, it's adjusted, planted – and quick. The 250's 1.6 can punch just as hard (harder on paper, indeed) than the Golf GTI's 2.0-liter, despite the fact that it honestly doesn't feel or sound very as charming.
A minor drawback (and presumably one worth paying) for the stiffer springs is a marginally bouncy feel to the auto's body development on bounce back at speed, however generally the 308 GTI's honored with a moderately supple ride, far gentler and comfier than the track-centered RCZ R, for instance.
Peugeot 308 GTI 270
Aside from its additional aiding of pull, the 270 gets a Torsen mechanical restricted slip diff, greater front brakes with four-pot calipers and more profound pail seats to help the driver adapt to it all.
The moderately forceful diff implies it torque-guides somewhat more than the 250, the 308's weeny controlling wheel writhing even well into fourth apparatus, however it's never unmanageable, and in quick corners the diff does its spooky tractor bar thing, bolting the auto into the zenith as you apply the power.
Also, snappy as the 250 seems to be, you do see the 270's additional aiding of torque. It's not moderate.
Shouldn't something be said about the terrible bits?
Cheerfully few and far between, yet a couple there are.
The brakes, while devastatingly compelling, can be a bit excessively annihilating on introductory colleague in light of the fact that the pedal's so over-delicate, and some may discover the gearchange toss a smidgen on the long side. Similarly, while I very like the scaled down guiding haggle instruments, not everybody's a fan, and relying upon your driving position you may locate the highest point of the wheel clouds the base of the instrument board.
As ever in the 308, you'll get yourself torn between contempt for the ungainly, laggy, out and out diverting touchscreen (and its close futile sat-nav framework) and the chic present day, insignificant inside styling it makes conceivable.
There's additionally a Sport catch that, unusually, exacerbates the auto feel to drive. Despite the fact that it livens up the throttle reaction (something the GTI doesn't especially require at any rate), it additionally turns the dials splendid red, so when you're most in the disposition to take the rev counter needle to the redline you can't see it any longer, and it pipes an angrier-sounding, combined motor note into the lodge. Wear mode in a diesel 308 SW home we attempted as of late made it seem like a thundering V8 stock auto, yet it made the GTI sound more like a protesting diesel. Unusual.
Decision
Downplayed, comfortable and simple to live with, yet truly exciting when you're in the correct disposition, the 308 GTI's an auto with expansive, and genuine, offer. Both 250 and 270 have justify; the previous' less wearying, without that diff twerking ceaselessly at the directing, yet at the same time eye-openingly quick. However, for some the 270's additional power and center will make it worth the additional money.
Not sufficiently great to experience Peugeot's GTI back list, the new 308's adequate to stress some other auto with a GTI identification you want to say. Glad days are here once more.
