Video tutorial

In this video, an experienced used car driver highlights many positive aspects of the Peugeot 208 in terms of aesthetics and drivability, but points out a significant flaw in the steering wheel setup, which, no matter how it is adjusted, always partially obscures the instrumentation.

This is a widely discussed issue on various forums, although some users suggest keeping the steering wheel lower to achieve a more ergonomic arm angle, which still requires the seat to be in a very high position, potentially causing fatigue during driving.

Many find this position quite unacceptable, and in any case, a car manufacturer should not design a driving position suitable only for tall and slim individuals, but should consider the comfort of all.
