CAR Most Wanted of 2014: Ferrari 458 Speciale

Peugeot 308 GT arrives as Hatch & Estate (SW)

The Peugeot 308 gets a warm makeover with the arrival of the 308 GT The new Peugeot 308 started arriving in the UK at the start of 2014, but the choices didn’t include a hot, or even a warm, version for those who want a bit more get up and go in their family hatchback. So the arrival of the new Peugeot 308 GT – as a hatchback or estate (SW) – is welcome, even if the 308 GT comes in the ‘warm’ rather than ‘hot’ category. We’ll have to wait for a 308 GTi or a production version of the Peugeot 308 R for proper get up and go.
