Cynics among you will have Peugeot's new 208 GTi hot hatch pinned as merely a more expensive 208 with more power. Or as a car bred by the suits in the marketing department rather than as a love child of the passionate white coats at Peugeot. Same old, same old, you might say.
Sceptical you may be about the Peugeot 208 GTi, but we can now confirm that it is a cracking good performance car - a welcome return to good form by the French company and a worthy modern successor to one of the all-time greats, the 205 GTi. High praise indeed, as we'll explain below.

As you can already surmise, the Peugeot 208 GTi will come to Malaysia in the next few months. Depending on the final price point, it will either be a really good hot hatch or one that's also an absolute bargain to buy. Either way, it's already causing a ruckus among many three-pedal aficionados looking for something to indulge in, yours truly included.
