408 GT is a genuine continent-crossing gent’s tourer contender for the man with an eye for couture motoring

Despite the fibs about the fuel consumption, the 2008 GT is a thoroughly charming mademoiselle. It gets under your skin, and you find yourself loving it, in spite of itself.

The 408 just might be the best Peugeot yet, but it’s in good company. There have been a lot of fabulous Peugeots such as the inimitable 403 Cabriolet driven by Columbo, and the laudable 205 GTI stolen by every chav on the estate.

The name Accord has been with me for most of life. It was the Honda you aspired to. If someone’s mum or dad had an Accord, they had made it. It was always special, although by today’s standards the first Accords were little more than cattle drays, but at the time Accord shone like the…

Abarth 500e has a load of sex appeal. We drove the equally charismatic Fiat 500e last year, and loved it. The cheeky little Italian lives up to an expectation of being fun yet functional, but the Abarth version is expected to fan that ember into a warming fire. In regular Abarth 500s, the burble from…
