BUYER BEWARE

DATA PLAN

GT and GT Line cars get a three-year subscription to Peugeot’s live traffic, weather, speed camera and fuel price data. Some are coming to the end of this period, so consider this potential extra cost when shopping.

STOP-START SYSTEM

The stop-start system is reportedly overly keen to act when you’re slowing down. It can make the engine judder when coming to a standstill, too, or make the car lunge forward when crawling in traffic.

SMALL BOOT

The 2008 offers 434 litres of boot space, which is beaten by the Volkswagen T-cross (455 litres) and the Renault Captur (536 litres if you make use of its sliding rear bench). It does have a height-adjustable boot floor, though, which usefully removes the lip for easier loading and unloading.
