Peugeot never re-engineered the 308's wiper sweep for right-hand drive — so in the UK and Australia, the driver's own side of the windscreen was the one left with an unwiped patch.

Launched as the replacement for the Peugeot 307 in most international markets, the first-generation 308 (project T7) was based upon the old 307's chassis but with new bodywork and slightly longer and wider; it has a drag coefficient of 0.29 and a five-star Euro NCAP rating, and was awarded the Goldene Lenkrad in Germany in November 2007. It was built at Mulhouse and Sochaux in France, and in Kaluga, Russia, from 2010 and El Palomar, Argentina, from 2011, where the first generation kept being produced until 2021. The 308 SW estate was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008, and the 308 CC retractable-hardtop cabriolet replaced the 307 CC in February 2009. In May 2010 Peugeot announced the return of a GTi, badged GT in the United Kingdom, with a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine of 200 bhp. A facelift was released in May 2011, alongside the 308 e-HDi micro-hybrid, and during its production the 308 HDi held the Guinness world record as the most fuel efficient mainstream car.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The T9's new EMP2 platform did something cars rarely do on a redesign: it shed 140kg against the old 308 — about the weight of an extra passenger, gone.
