Peugeot 308 CC (2009 - )

Much improved over 307CC, good range of engines and transmissions, likely to be more robust than 307CC.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Optional 18" wheels with 225/40s don't help the ride. 4 speed autobox was a duffer.

Introduction

From 2009 test of Peugeot 308CC 1.6THP 150 4-speed automatic

They should have issued the Peugeot 308CC with a Bank Holiday weather warning.

Filming day dawned with drizzle. But the local forecast said there might be a few sunny spells by late afternoon.

So we postponed the start. Got the car down to Bosham by 2.00pm. Had a late pub lunch. Then, by the time we had finished, the tide had gone out and the skies had cleared. Briefly.

Ours upped and downed between showers completely at least 15 times. It wasn't the fastest, taking around 20 seconds. But it certainly showed no sign of failure. And remained leak proof whatever Mother Nature chucked at it.
