Peugeot 208 1.4 HDI (A9) – Review
I think it’s safe to say that, even for the most ardent of Peugeot enthusiasts, the company had lost its way after the turn of the millennium. The fantastic 106 and 306 platforms were nearly a decade old at this point and soon to go out of production. The 205, the car that saved the…
